Notes on nursing

The do's and don'ts of nursing created a vivid picture of what life must have been like in the mid 1800s. Novels don't often mention things like chamber pots with lids vs without lids, or if there is a garbage heap outside the window which is letting in all sorts of stink. So this book helped add some realness to my mental picture of life in those times.

I did not finish this book; I read about as much of it as interested me and then moved on, and you can't say fairer than that.
