They can get a bit sensitive about things like this in Ossy you know. Does anyone remember the fuss kicked up by a woman who was addressed as cock by a sister at BRI? I just googled it, didn't realise it was back in 2003.

Hospital says sorry after patient's cock tale | Society | The Guardian

As she recovered in accident and emergency, the 64-year-old from Oswaldtwistle asked the ward sister for a glass of water.

"Right, cock, follow me," came the reply.

Offended at being so addressed, and by someone in a sister's uniform, the patient made an official complaint.
