Easy there FCM, what you see here is merely some professionals trying to protect their profession from inaccurate representations.
What you have seen on this thread is nothing compared to what I have to listen to when my wife (an ICU nurse) starts watching an episode of ER, All Saints or in the dim past The Flying Doctors.
You just have to understand where it's coming from. It may be alright for the rest of us to say it's just make believe but when you actually do the work being portrayed it can be quite insulting if the job is trivialised.
Now if you don't like the life the contributors of this thread have, go and get one of your own.
