Occ Health Nurse a moron?

I had to see Occ Health nurse at work today as I requested permission to park in visitor bays because the main car park is a 10 minute walk from my office - which I can find tricky.
The nurse went all out and then told me that in her opinion it probably wasn't MS at all but the numbness / weakness I was having in my R arm is probably due to a whip lash injury I had 9 years ago?
Despite me having seen a neuro this week who did a lot of physical tests and is doing more to give a dx! She really upset me. The upshot is that am I mad or is she just a jumped up, self important nurse who thinks she knows better than a neuro? If nothing els, how does that exlplain my drop / drag leg, ON, balance and occasional speech problems.
Answers on a postcard!
