Doctors and nurse both play very important roles in healthcare. In most cases nurses are put on the back burner while doctors are in front get the lime light for all the work. Nurses are a valuable resource as they monito patients, give correct medication when need, and follow up with the doctors when a patient’s conditions change for good or worst. Doctor’s take on more of the urgent and big matters such as surgeries. The doctors must also keep a patient- doctor relationship because the patient’s life is in the hand, and all patients should trust their doctor.
