Not to take anything away from your story, but nurses don’t have the skills of doctors. They are an important part of the healthcare team, but have completely different training and responsibilities than doctors. And while nurses are usually there at bedside most of the time, it because that’s literally their job. Doctors can’s spend too much time with a single patient, since they have so many patients to see. In the end, all of the care decisions are made by doctors, not nurses.
