In the history of medicine, it is not always the great scientist or the learned doctor who goes forward to discover new fields, new avenues, new ideas.
I have a message to give to the world, and I shall not be thwarted.
I spent more time on dark ships in danger zones than any other woman in the world.
'O sleep, O gentle sleep,' I thought gratefully, 'Nature's soft nurse!'
Panic plays no part in the training of a nurse.
I do not want medical men to discuss whether or not my work is valuable, because I know what it will do. I want them to tell me how best this new knowledge of rapidly restoring paralysed people to health and strength can be applied where it is needed.
