SMART TALK by Dr. Amelia Raitt Payne
MALE NURSE: The Underbelly Prerecorder ran a feature last week about Gabriel "Gabby" Johnson, one of the few area natives on our staff. It said, "Mr. Johnson is a male nurse at the the Institute for the Linguistically Impaired."
As staff physician at the I.L.I., I have the honor of writing this letter to the editor. I must complain on two counts:
We already know he's a male, thank you.
Saying male nurse implies the same prejudice as does saying stewardess instead of flight attendant.
As it happens, most of our nurses happen to be men.
