อันนี้เป็นจดหมายตอบโต้จากบุรุษพยาบาลและแฟนคลับมาลัย
To Whom It May Concern at The Truth about Nursing:
I think your newest conquest to banish Mariah Carey's new video "Up Out My Face" is asinine and misguided. As a homosexual male nurse practitioner, I am exhausted with the efforts of such organizations as yours fighting battles that are not worth fighting in healthcare. And claiming that you speak for all nurses? Hardly the case!
On your home page you describe Mariah Carey in just as despicable a way, verbally, as she portrays you (nurses) creatively... "but it has often seemed that she doesn't have much to say with it, except: 'I want to be rich, famous, and adored, and if my voice doesn't convince you, how about my body?' Carey has been so well-known for doing whatever is necessary to advance her career that she inspired a 2004 Sonic Youth song about it." Is Mariah Carey well-known for doing "whatever is necessary to advance her career?" I've certainly never heard such a thing. I think she would disagree with the above subjective jargon as would you if someone made the same opinionated comment toward your efforts in life.
That statement is as much an opinion about her character as her video is about yours. She deserves an apology from your organization for judging her character and relegating her to merely a physical icon void of intellect, talent, and compassion. This statement is utterly preposterous and how you can allow such nonsense to be on the front page of your website is just as unacceptable as her imagery of nurses as "naughty."
Healthcare is in a quorum at this present moment. We are on the brink of such profound changes in medical history that our very careers and lives of our future generations hinge upon our actions now. Our passion directed to ridiculous pop culture is an utter waste of time. How about we redirect our passions from individuals creatively expressing themselves to furthering access of care for our nation and the world?
If we are going to hunt down the naughty nurse persona and fight back with our own inadequate arguments, why don't we make it consistent and go after the costume shops, the porn industry, the countless children that dress up as doctors and nurses during Halloween? Why don't we fight for a federal mandate to hinder females from wearing tight fitting white nursing outfits if they have cleavage, for fear that they may be interpreted as "naughty?" Why don't we get off our moral, hypocritical nursing high horses?
Additionally, why don't we fight the stereotype that all male nurses are gay? As a gay male nurse practitioner, I'm not at all offended by the jokes and innuendos. Are you? Are others? My skills, intelligence, and passion for patient care speak volumes and subsequently, I am respected regardless my sexual proclivities.
In conclusion, I polled the nurses at my hospital regarding the above topic and not a single nurse agreed with your outburst. As a gay male, who has battled stereotypes all of my life, professionally and otherwise, I would encourage you all to begin fighting battles in nursing that "all" nurses really want to fight.
Thanks for your consideration to the above. I would hope that you would see the necessity to apologize to Mariah Carey for the above offenses made to her on behalf of your organization.
