There is no way an unsupervised nurse would get to gas me. I am v
multidisciplinary in my outlook - I have welcomed nurses into the pre-
hospital emergency care arena (and they have loads to offer) - but they
are not doctors. Doctors have many skills (some indefinable IMHO) other
than the mechanical skills of giving drugs, sticking tubes in etc (which
it is possible to train a monkey to do and get a 95% safety
record/success rate and therefore satisfy the statisticians) - I want
the girl/guy who can really cut it in the few cases where it really hits
the fan.
Cheers :)
