show u something very funny

was doing some research on F.Nightingale and these were what she said!

"if the nurse is an intelligent being, and not a mere carrier of diets to and from the patient, let her exercise her intelligence in these things" - here she was talking about common sense-Nursing Theorist and their work, pg76

"she urges nurses to provide doctors with "not your opinion, however respectfully given, but your facts" She goes on to say, "if you cannot get the habit of observation one way or other, you had better give up the being a nurse, for it is not your calling, however kind and anxious you may be"-Nursing Theorist and their work, pg78

apart from air, light, warmth, diet, water, cleanliness and efficient drainage, she also said quiet was 1 of the main factor for proper healing! i certainly wish the hospital will reinforce that, cuz there are just too many people chatting loudly, laughing and kids screaming along the corridors!!

on another tone..
i think F.Nightingale was a damn cool lady and one with lots of might and zest. having been born into a privileged family with power and money, she was indeed the 'esther' of her time. God had position her strategically in that position for that special calling to be the agent of change. her being able to write and read gave her an advantage to communicate her finding and concern to the governors and others in power. although a female at that era is less looked upon, her family name placed her in such a position that the males had but no choice (even if MOST UNWILLINGLY) to look at her 'crap'. once past the initial hindrance, the figures and facts speak for itself. her advocating of cleanliness, clean water and proper drainage (sanitation) had brought more changes to human lives than the modern medical technology!

really... if you are new to nursing/ medicine, its one of the most trick MCQ question! clean water supply and proper sewage drainage system had saved more lives than modern medicine! of cuz, i recognise the effort put into sewage system and water supply from "Dr. John Snow, who showed that cholera was spread by water in 1854, and Edwin Chadwick, who came up with the idea of sewage disposal and piping water into homes in the 1840s. " taken from http://www.sewerhistory.org/articles/wh_era/brit_med_journal_contest/Sanitation.pdf

now... that's quite a piece of information right? so the next time when u take a dump on ur toilet bowel remember... lots of people (past and present) would love to have a chance to be like u-shitting in clean toilet and being able to flush off the waste with just a simple press of a button!
