  4. "I have a PhD, I know more than you do!"

    MendedHeart replied to MendedHeart's topic in General Nursing

    MendedHeart replied to MendedHeart's topic in General Nursing

    For the record, I have the utmost respect for those who have worked hard and earned advanced degrees. My problem was the manner in which he approached me and what I felt as disrespect in a consumer...

    MendedHeart replied to MendedHeart's topic in General Nursing
