Nothing will frustrate a nurse more than the words, “don’t worry.” As the MD, of course you are entitled to your opinion, but we are also entitled to worry. By dismissing our concern, you are actually dismissing the patient. And now we have more people to worry about; the patient in question, and your future patients.
Questionably Yours, Every Patient's (nurse) Advocate
( and P.S., by the time you've even set foot out of the patient's room, we've already found another MD who took our concerns seriously. Nurses don't give up when it comes to the life of a patient)
