Cosmetic Surgery Firm Riles Spanish Nurses

Spain's nurses have told a cosmetic surgery firm to apologize after it paraded 50 mini-skirted models, sporting uniforms and stethoscopes, onto the stock market for its share launch.
The Health Ministry passed on a complaint to Corporacion Dermoestetica from the national nursing council urging the company to "publicly repair the honor and good image of nurses," the council said on its Web site Wednesday.
The ministry and the company both declined to comment on the complaints provoked by the appearance of the models in their hospital clogs last week.
"These are women dressed as objects of desire ... it is not the image of a person who saves lives," said Maximo Gonzalez Jurado, president of the nursing council.
Wednesday shares in the company, which says it aims to make beauty affordable for all, were trading 20 percent above their offer price.
The nurses' council is preparing legal action if Dermoestetica does not make amends. |
