Long answer: the question is similar to "is hinduism better than
sikhism" or "is lager better than bitter".
More like "is it better to have a doctor or a nurse?". The doctor can do the
nurse's job, but the nurse can't do the doctor's.
So at first sight your hospital should employ only doctors, and no nurses.
However in most situations not requiring diagnosis or prescription a nurse
is better. It cost less to train her, for one thing. Then doctors tend to be
tempted to play with patients if there is nothing useful to do. Nurses just
make them comfortable, which is often all that can be done for a dying man.
If the job is a nursing job, a nurse is in fact better.
