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".

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.

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.
