Well, it's phrase you'll hear a hell of a lot in medicine. In most specialties, the days are gone where the doctor is king; respect for the allied health professions is necessary. Yes, you'll have nurses on the wards (and they're incredibly important so be nice to them) but, especially in geriatrics and chronic conditions, there's generally a variety of people who help out:
- Physotherapists
- Occupational therapists
- Speech therapists
- Dieticians
- Specialist nurses
- School nurses
- Midwives (community and hospital-based)
- District nurses
- Counsellors
- Pharmacists (especially in psychiatry)
This is all I can come up with off the top of my head but I'm sure there are more.
