i don,t think it implies anything remotely like that. that was a very catty, unnecessary remark. it would be worthwhile pointing out that doctors pretty or otherwise would have trouble managing major trauma on their own, sure isn,t that why they call for the trauma team, get all those surgeons and orthos to lend a helping hand.

Thank you Jimbob, I'm well aware of how a trauma team works and the value of nurses within the team.

The remark was intended to be light hearted (although there is a servious point about how doctors and nurses are represented in the media, but I won't go into it here) rather than catty.

As for your last line about doctors calling the trauma team to help them out, surgeons and orthos are, um, doctors.

didn,t come across as light-hearted, my point of course was that the wonderful A&E drs, can,t manage major trauma on their own or for that matter and speaking from experience minor trauma/injuries, but as you say thats the value of being part of a team and fostering good relationships within that team, rather than an us and them attitude.

Jimbob, nowhere have I suggested that doctors manage anything without nurses neither do I have a "them and us attitude"

If you were to ask any nurse I've ever worked with (including my husband, although he is biased) I feel confident they would tell you that I treat all members of the team with respect.

My comment was, as I've said, light-hearted and any cattiness was aimed at the producers of the programme, not the nurses involved.


djiftz, I'd like to see you say that to Matron's face...

Pretty Nurses running trauma's - well there don't seem to be any nurses at all in the children's area!!


Feel sorry for Jimbob - can be difficult to see where Annaj's tongue is sometimes when she's typing.

      Milk delivery

      By Sue · Posted

      Off topic, but when I was a kid in Streatham, long ago, apart from the milkman (rarely if ever milkwoman),  who also delivered yoghurt - very exotic - in little glass jars, we also had regular deliveries of coal, bread and cheesecakes (not the kind we know now, they had coconut on top), fruit and veg,  and paraffin (both pink and blue). I'm not entirely sure we have lost "something amazing" by buying milk in shops. The glass bottles were left on the doorstep and the metallic tops were pecked through by birds getting at the cream/milk. Or else the bottles were nicked.  And then there was the rag and bone man.... bell and horse and cart, just like Steptoe. God I'm old. We didn't have supermarket deliveries. We didn't have supermarkets. I remember the first supermarket opening in Streatham. It  was quite amazing having to walk round and  put your own shopping in a basket. As you were ..... Sorry OP and admin.

      Yep, I hear you. Been waiting for modern milkman to these parts and plan to try them out. I still remember Dennis, our Egg-man, from my childhood, who used to deliver dozens in his Citroen 2C and came to collect the boxes the following week. Happy Days.

      I always feel we lost something amazing when we moved away from home milk delivery with glass bottles using electric floats to driving to supermarkets and buying milk in plastic bottles. Hindsight says we should have valued the good old milky more
