Bligh of mutinous H.M.S. Bounty?
That strutting and sanc- timonious eighteenth cen- tury bully whom Hollywood showed you in the shape of Charles Laughton?
I only hope that, if we ever have a Lady Secretary for War or a First Peeress of the Admiralty, they will not spring from the rame class of women who now control some of our hospitals.
Mutinics on the Bounty and In- vergordon Incidents would be week- and ly occurrences it our soldlers Gallors were treated in the same way that the average British hospital matron treats the nurses in her charge.
JUST let me give you the verbatim story of a nurse -one who has nursed many great men.
“I started at £18 a year when I was eighteen," she says, "I can't think why I did it, but I felt I want- ed to be a good woman, and my parents encouraged me,
"I got a £2 a year rise for three yours, but I had to provide my own uniform. What I hated most was having to sweep the wards. I don't. mind sweeping, but they gave us great brushes the size of street cleaner's brushes, just to make it harder for us. I know that, now; I didn't then.
"After I had finished with my hospital I went into my first nursing home,
“It was a privately run home, and i some of the rooms cost cighteen guineas a week. I got twenty-five shillings a week.
“I was silli young, and was hoping that things would improve. I had learned that the big hospitals could not afford to treat their nurses pro- perly, but I did hope that nursing homes were different.
a
"I was disillusioned quickly. They made me a night nurse, and I sat in cold corridor all night, with elghicen patients' bells to answer.
"But I had to work only a ten- hour night, while in hospital I, had: been used to seventy-two-hour week."
HIS nurse went on to tell stores (and she has told many like them before) of mothers crying by the bedsides of dying children, of wives standing all night in corridors waiting for news of their husbands, and familles turned nway from the door because it was five minutes past the hour,
She has told me stories of death; of suffering, of mental agony, and of great courage.
"I used to cry when I was young." she raid, "but I got used to it, and then tried to be sympathetle in a sensible sort of way.
"But it is terrible when you have tried so hard to be kind and gym- pathetic to turn round and hear awful things told you by the matron. When I was twenty-five, I was treated by the matron of my hospi- tal as if I was a very naughty little girl in a Borstal school,”
Do you believe all that this
nurse said?
do; for I have seen it happen, and heard it sald by a matron,
No sergeant-major ever lashed a private with such cruci words as those with which I have heard a matron lazh a' nurse för "ân" "offence that one would merely condone with shrug If the parlourmald had done
it.
And I have a very vivid memory of a doctor talking to a nurse-who had been 'genuinely kind to me-in Itones which would have earned him a smack on the face if the nurse had been his secretary,
What is the secret? Must woman pay this price for being kind und merciful to the nick? Is it really necessary for one woman to be so cruel to another in a place where marcy should be the virtue?
Is it necessary to discipline young women in such à bullying manner in order to make them do their duty?
