Oh yes, the people who call them selves "nurses" when in fact they are medical assistants, or CNA's or receptionists. I have seen it happen countless times when medical office workers assume that because they have to wear scrubs at work it means they are a "nurse".

When I was doing my internship at the hospital I was working in the phlebotomy lab for the phlebotomy section of my internship... and more than 75% of the patients assumed that I was a nurse because I was in a hospital and wearing scrubs. I must have said "No I'm a phlebotomy student" about 1000 times in a week.

I found some websites that all discuss chemo and the immune system and the dangers - maybe that will help this family?
