24. Noncoms of the medical profession.

My father was a physician and a career military officer, and once said the nurses were the non-comissioned officers of the medical profession. Some, particularly those with a military background, may recognize that that was a very high compliment.

He also said that the military would function less effectively without its officers, but that it could not function at all without its sergeants. Think about it.

Nurses, by the way, who generally dislike doctors, adored him. He treated them with courtesy and respect, reflecting his attitude that he could not do his job without them. That was one of many things about him that made him a really good father, too.
