Jan 312012

I have it on good authority that there are a few nurses around that think we ED nurses are a bit full of ourselves1.

In actuality, the truth lay somewhere in the vast space between.

No more medicare, user pays, just like in the U.S. Also an excuse to import foreigners, give them citizinship, then use there citizinship to increase Australia’s international debt borrowing.

    • Rachel said: I agree with you Fabbia. No matter how much we try to be good at educating our patients, at the end it is still up to the patient’s decision whether to follow what we have said or not. On our side, at least we know we have given whats the best for them. We can’t touch every patient’s lives always.
