Pret--
A thought occurred to me while reading this--do your nurses have a written code of conduct?  If not, why not?  In that case I suppose nurses are not subject to poor professional ethics, interpersonal skills, chart delinquencies, etc, or are those not as important to nursing?
If there is such a written code for nurses--who wrote that?  By your reasoning, doctors should be writing those, no?
Please think about these points in all seriousness--I think you are going down a dangerous road,  Codes of conduct and behavior are quite important--but they should be equally applied to ALL health care workers who come in contact with the public and patients--to single out one part of the team to the exclusion of others makes your bias quite transparent and obvious.  I am surprised you did not get this point in Dr. Civil's question
