Re "Those Angels in White," your Dec. 23 editorial about the Gallup Poll on the most respected professions: I'm pleased that the nursing profession was rated the highest. It deserves it. I have been hospitalized several times and found it was the nurses, both registered and assistants, who made my recovery possible by their patience and concern. It is not surprising that the human services professions rate the highest and the business and political groups the lowest. Each profession earns its own rating. That's why car salesmen are at the bottom.
