Re: "Physician, Heal The Nurse" (August, page 96). To say that "any OR nurse would've reconsidered once she realized how heavy it was" is to imply that OR nurses are female. As a male OR nurse, I take issue with this. This slight occurs far too often in nursing magazines and should not be overlooked by an editor. This problem, I realize, is mine. My solution more and more, however, is to carry the magazines from my mailbox to the nearest trash can and make a deposit, and that, with the cost of production and postage, makes it, at least in part, your problem.
