Extraordinary Nurses 
Throughout History 
by Various 
©️ 2020 Brilliant Women 

This book celebrates the amazing efforts of eight notable nurses, collected in honour of Florence Nightingale's 200th birthday.

Throughout history, many notable women have helped create and improve the practice of modern nursing that we are all familiar with today. Since the first documented mention of professional nurses in approximately 300 AD, their contributions at times when nursing was much less well established are invaluable when studying how nursing has evolved throughout the ages.

This fascinating and insightful exposition of the lives and achievements of notable nurses will appeal to those with an interest in the history of nursing and would make for a worthy addition to collections of allied literature.

Need to upgrade my nurse Santa outfit, last year's was very uncomfortable, itchy and awkward, not very convincing lol. This one seems perfect. 

A Very Special Christmas
Compilation Album (1987)
was the idea of music producer Jimmy Iovine, who wanted to produce a Christmas album as a memorial to his father. The idea of the record benefiting the Special Olympics was suggested by Iovine's wife Vicki, as she was a volunteer for the organization.[1] Herb Alpert and Jerry Moss, the founders of A&M Records, along with Bobby Shriver, helped the Iovines realize the project. As of 2012, the series had raised over $100 million for the Special Olympics.[2]

All of the albums use the same cover art: a simplistic line drawing of a person holding a baby (an abstract representation of Mary holding baby Jesus) by Keith Haring in his usual style. Each album uses the artwork with a different color scheme.

The earliest known description of strokes dates back to ancient Egypt, around 3000 BC. The Egyptian medical papyrus known as the Edwin Smith Surgical Papyrus mentions a condition called "seizure of the body," which is believed to be a description of a stroke.

In ancient Greece, the Greek physician Hippocrates (460-370 BC) first used the term "apoplexy" to describe a sudden loss of consciousness and paralysis. He believed that strokes were caused by an imbalance in the body's four humors (blood, phlegm, yellow bile, and black bile).

In the 17th century, Swiss physician Johann Jacob Wepfer (1621-1689) was the first to correctly identify the cause of strokes as a blockage or rupture of blood vessels in the brain. He also observed that strokes could be caused by a hemorrhage or a clot. @

Therefore, while the earliest known descriptions of strokes date back to ancient Egypt, the modern understanding of strokes as cerebrovascular accidents (blockage or rupture of blood vessels in the brain) was established in the 17th century by Johann

Jacob Wepfer.
