Peruse this story if you wish: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/health/7748164.stm
A load of drivel? I think so. I believe that 'love' and 'dearie' are terms of endearment for ALL patients, not just the older generation (when used in the right context of course).
Older people should not be patronised but political correctness is so tedious. Nurses often build up a rapport with their patients, and should therefore be permitted to use these specific terms.
Any comments?
