"Sir, on behalf of my client I take umbridge with everything that the defendant's lawyer said. A nurse often is a highly qualified medical professional, and my client's sister-in-law, who has traveled from Australia to be with her sister is such a person. She not only holds a university degree in nursing, but post-graduate qualifications in a number of fields including emergency medicine, orthopedics and midwifery."
"She has in her career held roles including the nurse in charge of a small rural hospital, and currently works as a nurse practitioner on a part-time basis in Australia. Such nurses have rights not only to order medical tests but to prescribe medications. She has been working, with the medical staff since her arrival to have my client discharged from hospital as soon as possible."
