Was Abraham Lincoln A Nurse?

This President’s Day, our crack team of JNJ researchers have a question: Was Abraham Lincoln a nurse? Sure, he appeared to be busy being the President – but if you listen to some of the man’s actual quotes, he certainly seems to SOUND like a nurse:

If this is coffee, please bring me some tea.  If this is tea, please bring me some coffee!

(Said by many nurses in the wee hours of a night shift!)

Things may come to those who wait, but only the things left by those who hustle.

(How quickly would Lincoln have made it to the call light?)

If I were two-faced, would I be wearing this one?

(Try that on patients who complain about your appearance!)

Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak out and remove all doubt.

(And now we know why docs don’t answer those middle of the night pages!)
