Is my nurse stupid?

[lonestaryella03.livejournal.com]

Can someone pelase tell me why after convincing my SO (and myself) that I had given him my YI before I got treated and that he gave it back to me AFTER my meds (I didn't think about getting him any meds), that my OBGYN's nurse tells me that men CAN'T get YI's or BV because it CAN'T be sexually transmitted. So are the pictures of oral thrush, and the websites that feature home-remedy type treatments for men with YI's a figment of my imagination?

wrong? yes. stupid? probably.

yeast CAN be transmitted - she should go back to nursing school.

i swear, 96% of nurses i've ever dealt with need to go back to school.

I know. It surprises me how stupid nurses can be sometimes. I'd be scared for my life if I was ever in the hospital with a serious condition.

That may be true in your experience, but they also have a very demanding and often thankless job. In the Op's case the error is pretty much inexcusable, but just for the record; a lot of nurses are really great.
