Who's the Woman in That Photo?
Re: "Points of Entry" (February, page 26). This article features a photo with the names of the important people in the photo from right to left. Unfortunately, there are only three names while there are four people pictured. I guess the unnamed woman on the left is either a nurse or a technician, and wasn't worth identifying. Perhaps it's a small thing, but it's emblematic of a larger situation. Nurses and technicians are the people who are always there holding the instruments (as in this photo), helping the patient, assuring that supplies and equipment are ready when needed, figuring out what to do when things don't arrive as ordered and caring for the patient after the doctor leaves the room.
