Florence Nightingale
It all starts with Florence Nightingale. Now this was one unique lady. Obviously. Look at all she did to completely change the face of nursing and healthcare. She had the guts to think there is indeed a problem with a dead horse in the water supply of the hospital or poo all over the place is not good. She eagerly went to help during the Crimean war in 1854 and lived among truly horrid conditions. Unthinkable by today’s standards. Yes, we owe a lot to this lady.
Maybe you didn’t know…
While Florence made exponential strides in healthcare, she was also absolutely horrible at self-care. She literally planned her own funeral when she got back from the war, convinced she was going to die. But there were such massive piles of work and culture paradigm shifts in health care she needed to facilitate, she kept on plugging away. She did not die then, but lived like 50 more years, limping along. While she did SO MUCH to promote the health of others, it was at the cost of her own.
Can you relate to this?!
Different times, sure, but same culture, right?
Don’t get me wrong, I would absolutely sport an “I heart Florence” t-shirt, but nobody’s perfect! And this is an issue we need to address.
[As an aside, we can also thank her for the detailed charting we have to do. BUT I’m still wearing my t-shirt. 🙂 ]
