I think these messages have been included to show a continuing pattern of LL ordering people about.
It sounds to me as if LL had been short with the other nurse, and then apologised to the doctor for it. The doctor said LL was fine with him - I wonder if she apologised to the nurse.
Taken in conjunction with the following situations and texts -
LL to JJ-K -
"LL: “Well that’s how I feel. I don’t expect people to understand but I know how I feel and how I have dealt with it before. I voiced that so can’t do any more, but
people should respect that.”
followed next morning by
LL to JJ-K -
"Sorry if I was off, just wasn’t a great start to the shift but sadly it got worse."

and
"Miss Walker said Lucy then 'firmly' asked her '
Why did you shout for help?', leaving her shocked because 'you can't have enough help in that situation'.
Mr Astbury asked her: 'How did you feel?'
Miss Walker said: 'Quite taken aback and shocked because it's something you would not expect a nurse to say.'
Mr Astbury said: 'Why has it stuck in your memory?'
The witness said: 'It's because I was told off for shouting for help.'"

and
mother of baby E -
"She said
Letby had told her the rules to go back to the post-natal ward and wait for anything further."

and a couple of other examples where she didn't follow orders herself, and also said she could handle situations which were obviously escalating to life-threatening levels -
"Nurse Hudson recalls: "Lucy was already with her [at the incubator], trying to settle her. At that time [Child I's] observations were normal."
She says child I was crying "the same cry I had heard her display the first time [that night].
"Loud and relentless and unlike any other cry I had heard make prior to this night shift."
"My initial concern was she was obviously breathing...my concern was the cry was that she was going to have another episode of collapse."
She recalls articulating that concern to Lucy Letby within 60 seconds of being there.
The nurse says she said words along the lines of: "She's going to do it again, it's the same cry."
Letby responded with words of "reassurance": "
She just needs to settle," Ashleigh Hudson recalls Letby saying."
Recap: Lucy Letby trial, Thursday, February 2
- it looks like the prosecution is demonstrating her personality. She wasn't exactly a senior nurse with a decade or more of experience under her belt, she was 25 or 26, and not long qualified.
People here often bemoan not knowing anything about her.
IMO
- just that Sweeper2000 got me wondering as well why some of these personal banter comments are being referenced and read out by prosecution and some are not (like what the doctor's reply was to that , if any) - figured out half the answer though that her colleague's anonymity and messages are being protected under privacy laws unless really relevant to the case.
