A blog post over at The Happy Hospitalist ---a popular medical blog by an anonymous doctor---has spawned a somewhat heated and contentious debate by individuals commenting on the post.

What I gather most from the post was that said doctor blogger was trying to convey his appreciation of the magnitude and complexity of nurses' work while also lamenting the ballooning costs of healthcare in the United States.
