they're human...
"doctoring" is a skill, but also an art...
every dr for the most part does the best he can...he offers what he can....
I'm a big believer in the fact that MOST patients know their own bodies the best...families know their family members the best.....as a long time nurse, you LISTEN to what the pt says.....so your family did absolutely the right thing...you knew something wasn't right and you acted...
I am sure you are a fantastic nurse...the biggest complaint I ever have with medical people is many will not listen...I find the ones that do are great at what they do.
