Seriously, if someone is going to be offended by such an offer then they clearly want to be offended.

Russ, you are (imho) comparing apples with cucumbers - it is a common accepted practice that doctors often ask for second opinions from senior, more experienced colleagues, so as to check their diagnosis; what has that got to do with a nurse who did something that she had previously been asked not to do?
