This is a topic that comes up so often that a google groups search
will give you a billion answers.

Short answer: time to duck.

Long answer: the question is similar to "is hinduism better than
sikhism" or "is lager better than bitter".

The answer to that is too obvious for debate!

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.

Not room, cellar.

The cellar is a room, so Mark is correct for certain values of room.

Hah. You haven't talked to nurses much, have you?

That situation is quite opposite to the C/C++ one, where each _can_ do
the other's job, but each makes some _ways_ to do certain jobs easier
than the other.

Double hah. My wife was a nurse. She had a few opinions and
wasn't shy about correcting doctors.

<topicality level="negligible">I seem to recall that even when
drinking bitter in England I saw very few cellars that were not rooms
:-) (I must admit that the beer started off tasty at whatever
temperature it was and remained tasty until the last drop - quite
possibly the highlight of my time across the pond...)
