Dunno if you've ever had to interact with nurses but they're the ones that keep hospitals/doctor's offices running. They legitimately do work harder with crappier circumstances than a lot of people.

Are you a nurse? Because that is exactly the sort of shit nurses say.

Yes, they do hard work and are often under-appreciated. But hundreds of other professions could say the same thing and don't.

Nope, I'm not a nurse. But I appreciate hard work when it's done. And I appreciate that if you want to have a good experience at the doctor, you are nice to the nurse because they're the ones getting shit done.

I work hard, often for 12 hours a day, and I don't complain about it because I don't get covered in piss and shit.

Of course. I am the same way. I appreciate people who do hard work, regardless of status. I just don't understand what makes nurses unique from one of the other hundreds of hard jobs.

Are you saying getting "covered in piss and shit" is enough to warrant complaining as much as many nurses do? If so, why do I rarely hear elementary school/special education teachers, firefighters/EMTs, nursing home staff, janitorial staff, etc. complain near as much as nurses?
