I think there's allot of competitiveness in midwifery - and also some people just become jaded, - i mean when you're working your arse off running round like a headless chicken trying to get everything done (bloods, checks, discharges, and paed/meds review) at once and there's one midwife who spends the whole shift sat on her arse talking rubbish and looking on ebay people are bound to get bitchy.

I'm usually very calm but when that happens i wanna hurt that midwife! lol
