"Respecting our nurses"

My parent was in St George Public Hospital as they had a procedure. They stayed in 5W cardiology for a bit, the nurses were very knowledgeable and driven. The heart doctors were not bad either. My parent ended up having a major surgery and came across a doctor. I believe they were from the cardio thoracic team. I can’t remember if it was in 5South or when my parent was in intensive care, but I recall this doctor came in and I could not believe how seemingly rude they were to the nurse looking after my parent. I felt the doctor was so patronising, condescending and on a power trip. I recall they didn’t make any eye contact with the nurse when talking to them and had this attitude where I felt they thought they knew it all. It seemed to me the nurse ended up being right about the issue, I can’t remember what was happening as I was quite stressed seeing my parent in the state they were in. I felt that I needed to post this because it was so atrocious to me and the nurse seemed so overwhelmed with providing care for my parent. 

In my opinion, this is a key example that we need more respect and acknowledgment for our nursing staff.
