Perhaps it is the NSW medicinal training program that has let us down, perhaps it is the universities in Australia, or perhaps it is just this particular female nurse friend I have.

Now, don't get me wrong because this particular nurse is a very good friend of mine whom I have known for years, in fact she is like the sister I never had (as long as you don't count my other four legitimate sisters). But sometimes she worries me.

Nurse : What is wrong with you?

Me : Ehh...

Nurse : You don't sound very well...

Me : It's ok, I just have a virus...

Nurse : No, it sounds like a cold to me.

Me : Um, are you serious?

Nurse : Yes.

Me : No, I mean a virus is what causes a cold.

Nurse : Oh yeah, I knew that...

Me : Are you still nursing?

It makes me wonder how many other people she has misdiognosed... "Congratualations! You have AIDS! Oh, wait... I meant your pregnant... I always get those two confused."

P.S. Nurse... please don't hurt me for telling this to the world.
