Traditionally, nurses have been physicians' handmaidens, often unable to make even minor decisions on patient care. Nurses say they want more responsibility and more autonomy and not to be treated simply as someone who is there to empty bedpans. Says Burma Garrett, a Florida operating-room nurse who quit after 16 years: "All the money in the world is not going to compensate for the abuse we take from doctors.

...fueled at Broadway's Biltmore Theater by Furth's comic sniper fire. In Director Gene Saks' nimble hands, the characters suffer the gauntlet of Pacific perils from mudslides to brushfires to shudderingly mirthful earthquakes. Furth's people are antic and simpatico.

Says Garrett Lee of the University of California, Davis Medical Center: "Ten years ago, a patient admitted to the hospital would have been taken to the coronary care unit and continued to be monitored. It would be bed rest, oxygen and drugs to prevent such complications as arrhythmias and heart failure-but the heart attack would run its course." With this new technique doctors try to interrupt...
