RE: Lincoln as secular saint

She had the insight that good nursing often had more to offer the patient than " good doctoring" could. It was her hope to open nursing schools on the Continent that would prioritize cleanliness, good food and ventillation. Amazingly, she had a hard time convincing some dismissive doctors that it was not a good idea to go from the autopsy room to the delivery room without washing hands. A good recent biography is "Edith Cavell: Nurse, Martyr, Heroine" by Diane Souhani. |
