I have just read Diana Mason's editorial ("Making it Safer," March), and I am furious that she would feel unsafe-and be so dramatic as to fear-going to an ED for treatment. What a slap in the face to nurses working the front line, saving lives every day. Yes, errors are made in any area of nursing. But to suggest that we would kill her if she were a patient is insulting.
