You hear raised voices in the corridor outside of patients' rooms. You then hear the following exchange between two nurses:
A.W.: I can't believe that you acted so stupidly. That patient will probably sue. Don't they teach you anything in nursing school these days?
L.B.: I.... well......I'm sorry
A.W.: I think it's almost criminal how so many people get through nursing school. When I was in nursing school, you had to be tough, not some stupid snowflake!
L.B.: I......am......a good.........
A.W.: You're not good at anything! You're less than useless.
A.W. then walks away and leaves B.B. in tears.
