I am a nurse, and I am married to a doctor.

Nah, I don't think so, I think you picked up all this jargon and pseudo knowledge from sitting around watching General Hospital and eating bon-bons.

He would not throw his weight around on a unit not in the hospital he practices, or in an area not in his field of expertise.

I don't think your hubby is a doctor either. I think he pumps gas down at the local Exxon-Mobil station.

You are the one who knows very little about how the medical field is run.

I know how the Constitution runs, and how you would prefer to wipe your ass with it rather than to see the rights of the accused given the benefit of due process.

Believe what you want, I am a nurse, and have said that in other threads.
As a nurse, we have to be somewhat informed in medical -legal issues because of the increasing amounts of lawsuits directed to the health care industry.
Also, the hospitals train us in preventing lawsuits by proper documentation, and following policies and procedures put in place by hospital administration and the attorneys on staff at the hospital.
My husband is a physician, Harvard educated- a far cry from pumping gas.
The last time I saw General Hospital was when I was a college student. They spent all their time looking great at the nurses station, chatting up the latest hunk on the show.
The reality of nursing is understaffing, no time for bathroom breaks, stress, varicose veins and bad backs .

Calling a person a liar doesn’t strengthen your argument.
