This is a question Inflated Self-Importance

Amorous Badger asks: Tell us tales of people who have a high opinion of themselves. Jumped-up officials, the mad old bloke who runs the Neighbourhood Watch like it's a military operation, Colonel Blimps, pompous bastards and people stuck up their own arse.

My uncle (a consultant) tells the story of a surgeon he was studing under screaming at a nurse during an operation
"DAMMIT WOMAN DON'T HAND ME WHAT I ASK FOR, HAND ME WHAT I WANT!"

Every surgical trainee, theatre sister and aneasthestist tells this story.
Either there's an awful lot of surgical pricks out there or, this is an urban myth. Both theories have their merits.

If I may ask a serious question
Are male senior nurses ever referred to as "sister" or is the preferred term something gender neutral like "charge nurse"?

Well d'uh...
They're BROTHERS, obviously!

I think they're called Charge Nurses or Ward Managers, it seems to vary from hospital to hospital. I wish they *were* called brothers, though :D
