Much of my job as a nurse was to make rounds with the doctors. I knew the patients but the doctors didn't have the time to explain everything. The doctors I worked with the most were research doctors so sometimes they lacked bedside manners. They would give their spiel and leave. I was expected to stay behind and explain things to the patient.

If the patient had questions that I couldn't explain I would never make something up. I would catch up with the doctor to get their answer or otherwise I said I would get the answer. Most of the time the question would be addressed the next day.
