Florence Nightingale is known as a hospital reformer, a social
reformer, and the founder of professional nursing; few realize that
she worked closely with doctors on these issues. As Nightingale's
first supporters and colleagues, doctors contributed to reducing
the high death rates in Crimean War hospitals and learned from the
consequential reforms. Beginning with an overview of Nightingale's
life and continuing with an exploration of her Crimean War work
with army doctors, her post-Crimea work with civilian doctors, and
her collaborations with the peacetime army and with army doctors in
later wars, Lynn McDonald details the involvement of doctors in
Nightingale's legacy. At a time when hospitals' death rates were
universally high (including at top teaching hospitals), Nightingale
formed connections with leading public health doctors and produced
heavily cited work on safer hospital design. Her later writings
cover her relations with early women doctors and the controversy
over state regulation of nurses, bacteriology, and germ theory;
here, McDonald argues against flawed secondary literature and the
myth of Nightingale's lifelong opposition to germ theory. The final
chapter discusses the legendary nurse's enduring legacy. Florence
Nightingale and the Medical Men provides timely insight into
Nightingale's principles of disease prevention, data visualization,
and the impacts of high disease and death rates - issues that
persist in the global health crises of the twenty-first century.
