Florence Nightingale and the Birth of Modern Healthcare

JUL 5, 202614 MIN

Description

Florence Nightingale was far more than a compassionate nurse.  She was a reformer, statistician, administrator, and relentless critic of systems that allowed people to die unnecessarily.  Her work in the Crimean War made her a legend, but what she did afterward changed hospitals, armies, and the entire profession of nursing.  She was one of the most important characters in the creation of the modern medical system we know today.
