They won't talk to a patient in English usually.Like in Army, there are terms used to address various occupational groups at the hospital. "Miss" is used to address female nurses. "Doctor" to address any doctor, regardless of the sex. (You won't address a male doctor as "Mr." now, would you, even if you were very angry with him?) Matrons (ladies in blue uniforms and white veil) and Sisters (Ward in charge-in white frocks and white veil), Ward Masters (Male ward in charge) have to be addressed by their post. And most of the nurses blast at even the senior doctors if they addressed a minor staff member as "Miss". They are called "lamayi".</blockquote>
