No one comes into a hospital or Doctor's office without some fear --even hypochondriacs, God bless them, have a fear - that is why they are always going to the ER or Dr office. If the quilt is to be sitting out in public for friends and company to see, make it tasteful, PLEASE!
As a nursing instructor, I try to instill in the students a love of nursing & respect for our patients. The respect we give is the respect we will receive. - I agree although these are funny to read, I wouldn't want a quilt to show others that makes nurses sound flippant & uncaring.
