“…Other qualitative studies have indicated a range of more problematic experiences of nurse-physician collaboration, and how this is part of a wider historical system of power dynamics within which the physician maintains higher status and authority (Corser, 2000;Greenfield, 1999;Stein, 1967), which is enduring (Reeves, Nelson, & Zwarenstein, 2008;Stein, Watts, & Howell, 1990;Stein-Parbury & Liaschenko, 2007).
