From Don B:

Dear Ms Sutton, here is my own account of my encounter with female superiority and how I came to believe that it really exists and can affect men anytime.

A couple of years ago I was to be treated for a minor medical problem. The surgery was a success, but I suffered from after effects of the anesthesia and had to spend some more days in the hospital. During this period I had ample time to watch the personnel and their affairs. I noticed a nurse who seemed to run the station. Although she was unremarkable on the outside and soft spoken, it was she (and not one of the senior doctors) who was in command; albeit in a subtle way. When she suggested a task (she never gave orders) it was immediately done; even the doctors complied. I noticed that the younger medics avoided looking after the young nurses whenever she was near, she had her way with the staff.

The anesthesia had affected my blood pressure to an extent that I felt too weak to leave the bed and had even to be carried to the washing room. However, to no avail, my bowels didn’t stir a bit and on the third day the nurse I am talking about entered my room and announced that she had to give me an enema.
