FROM THE WATCH TOWER
By “THE LOOK-OUT MAN” HEROINES OF THE WARD Death has claimed Nurse Vedalie Potter, of Whangarei Hospital, who contracted typhoid from a Maori patient. Such happenings pass almost unnoticed by the busy world, which has little time to think of the risks run daily by the nursing sisterhood. The nurses themselves pay little heed to the dangers from germ and contaminations that are part of their profession, excepting when a. colleague falls. How many people now remember the noble work of the nurses in the terrible influenza epidemic and utter a silent prayer for those of them who died in the course of duty? The nurses of our hospitals have lots in the way of work and little in the way of pay. Theirs is the reward of the knowledge of duty clone to suffering humanity. But a public recognition of their worth now and again comes not amiss.
