"Bloody brilliant" is over the top but some of the doctors I worked with certainly were brilliant. I was sort of a middle person ... One realm and most importantly was as a patient and RN. The other realm was more analytical and logical. I worked with brilliant doctors who did medical research who liked my background as a statistician and RN. I think I was a better RN but I liked to try and make sense of the numbers.

The only thing I learned from the medical research side of things is that it doesn't correlate very well with the clinical side of things. The doctors in the intellectual teaching hospitals focus on the research at the expense of the patients they treat. I tried to bridge the gap as much as I could. For the most part ... nothing was logical.
