The Nurse


The guy that was being such a bastard to Alex? I hope someone rips him a new one. He made his career choice. Alex hasn't done or said anything to the guy that suggest he thinks he's above working in the clinic with a nurse. The guy is a jackass. I hope Bailey finds out how he's acting. The clinic was her baby. I can't see her allowing some jackass on a ego trip screw around with something she worked so hard to build.

I miss Nurse Tyler

Hell, at this point I miss Rose.

Amen. I was wondering why nobody had posted about this yet! He was the one bitching because of how short staffed the clinic was so you would think he would be thanking his lucky stars not only for the help, but also for the fact that he has a world class (they love that term, don't they?) surgeon working there. Alex hasn't acted ungrateful or like he is above working there so that murse needs to fúck right off.

The nurse knows of Alex troubles, heck maybe he's friends with Delucca, but he knows enough about Alex that Alex is not allowed to perform any type of surgery, which apparently includes lancing a boil/cyst, so I think he is ticked he is saddled with Alex who is a Dr, but is only allowed to do the same stuff he is.

It would be interesting since they have brought up the clinic to have some kind of rotation that all interns need to spend 1-3 days a month at the clinic (mention even in passing) so of course Delucca would be excluded

reply

Yeah but even if he knows about alex' trouble, that doesn't excuse him from his unprofessional behavior. And just bc Alex can't perform surgery doesn't mean all he can't do more than the nurse. He's still a doctor- he can diagnose, treat, and prescribe meds. Most doctors aren't surgeons. That still doesn't make him a nurse.

I hated that guy! He was over-the-top a$$hole-ish.

How exactly is Alex a world class surgeon?! He's never worked anywhere other than his schoolyard, and barely passed his intern test. He's become a good doctor, but nowhere near World Class level. He'll need some achievement for it but he's never participated or initiated in anything groundbreaking.

Alex also worked in private practice for Dr. Butthole. Alex became Dr. Butthole Jr.

We don't know that he didn't barely pass his intern test (George was the one who failed by one point and then retook it), Alex did have to retake his board exams which Meredith, Christina and other helped him to do and as to his attending boards, all we know is he passed the last 2. We don't know if the others aced all three, just that everyone but April "passed" not which ones they passed or failed.

Just about all the Attendings are "world class" since they are at a big fancy hospital that got back their rankings which once was #12, probably now 1 or 2. World Class is probably just a term they decided to use. Only Christina, maybe Owen and AZ could claim that as most of the others all playing in their own backyard
since they were hatched.

He did create the Africa program to get children to the US

He passed his intern test fine. He had trouble with bid practicals, which you take coming out of med school.

reply

I was only joking about the 'world-class' thing. It's what they always say on Grey''s- literally, you could make a drinking game out of it. I wasn't being literal. My point was simply that the nurse should be happy the chief sent him someone to help out since the clinic was so short staffed- and she sent him a surgeon at that.

reply

the thing that got me was that he wouldn't let alex leave for a very important meeting with his lawyer. like, that is a huge thing that can effect his case and this nurse was acting like alex just wanted to skimp out on work to go play poker with the guys or something....that really, really bothered quite a bit. like alex is trying to be responsible and show he's doing the right thing. but if there's meetings about his case, those are kind of essential. i just don't see why the nurse was so pissy about that.

I'm not absolutely sure, but I don't think Alex actually told him why he needed to leave.
