To most HO addicts most know that Lindsey is a doctor and poor departed Lynsey was a nurse
I can't get over just how many people in various threads seem to think that the current Lindsey is a nurse and I can only assume this is because the previous Lynsey was a nurse.
Any other theories as to why this is a common mistake?

We all make gender assumptions about occupations all the time. Doctors and nurses are classic examples of this.
There's an example of this on the news this week. The nurse who is accused of murdering his patients, the news keeps specifying 'male nurse'. The wouldn't be saying 'female nurse' if it was a woman.
I think this is it. Stereotypically, people associate scrubs with nurses, so she looks like one. Stick her in a smart outfit with a white coat and everyone would be saying differently.
I don't think gender has bugger all to do with it,
Busiest nurse, doctor, surgeon, physician, chemist, GP in the world that one. Running a whole hospital singlehandedly.
Exactly these!
Thought she was a nurse because of that!
Im probably wrong tho, I normally am
Character profiles generally describe her as a junior doctor so I suppose that is one reason why she doesn't power dress.
