They are the ones who really control life and death.

I have been retired for some time but I remember. ER and ICU were my areas there were some major bad ass nurses there. I miss it so much.

Nurses will save your life and help ease your ailing, a doctor will carve you up and take your money. That's my experience with the medical world. I have had my life saved by nurses several times in my life, I've encountered very few doctors I feel confident about with regard to my well being.

Most of these pictures are of "baby batching" but nurses are there, caring about your life and the quality thereof. I have a family member who became a nurse, she's amazing at it and I am so proud of her and her ability to identify what to do with her incredible intellect and unbelievable empathy.

Heres' to nurses!

Most doctors I have encountered have been cold and arrogant. The nurses are the ones who really do the heavy lifting with grace and compassion.
