You know nurses have a four year degree and are ostensibly of a higher intellectual caliber than say your run of the mill Fine Arts major.

As you may have recalled my mentioning some time back, I work for a health insurance company. Recently, they have moved some work from home trainee nurses for the 24 hour Dial-A-Nurse line into our area. Mostly it seems they talk about bowel movements, vomiting and the shingles vaccine but occasionally I get to hear some doosies.

Here are some actual quotes overheard by our Sa:

    "Do you have access to an internet"

There are so many internets to choose from.

    "So you have sclerosis...is that itchy skin? Oh yes, the liver disease"

Do you think that the only reason I know the difference between sclerosis and whatever the hell that nurse thought the patient was talking about is because I was in the bar business?

This one is my favorite:

    "So your doctor said you could use the Viagra as long as you felt up to it?"
