PDFRx for Hospitals
5 June 2011
The hospital is a battlefield in which doctors and nurses fight
sickness. Doctors are officers, and nurses are enlisted. Doctors have
authority, issue orders, enjoy comforts, and receive rewards; while nurses
lack authority, take orders, do dirty work, and receive blame. This gross
inequality is counterproductive, because it hurts nurses, creates
internecine conflict, subverts the hospital's mission, and subjects
patients to suboptimal healthcare.
