+AD4-Well my vote goes to Florence Nightengale for recognizing the importance of
+AD4-educated nurses in the care of the sick and dying in hospitals and
+AD4-documenting her work as one of the first epidemiologists. She is the
pioneer
+AD4-and founder of modern nursing in the world. There is little doubt in my
mind
+AD4-that without educated and professional nurses delivering care to patients
and
+AD4-carrying out orders from physicians modern healthcare would not be what it
is
+AD4-today+ACE- Her contribution to medicine is not as +ACo-glittzey+ACo- but nonetheless as
+AD4-profound..jsh
+AD4-
Bravo+ACE-
And then there's Semmelweiss who made the radical discovery that it helped
when obstetricians and surgeons washed their hands.
