She showed that although the army only recruits the healthiest young people, 1500 people still die every year due to neglect, poor food and disease. She declared that "our soldiers were recruited to death in the barracks", which became the battle cry of her supporters.
The public is also on her side. The longer the opponents of reform procrastinate, the greater the pressure for reform.
Florence didn't win a complete victory over her opponent, but many changes took place. Soon some barracks were rebuilt, and the death rate was halved within three years.
The intensive work of the Committee has now ended, but Florence will continue to study, plan and promote the military medical reform in the next 30 years.
People are now asking her to apply her knowledge to civilian hospitals. She found that civilian hospitals are as bad as military hospitals, even worse. She published a book called Hospital Notes on 1859. It shows the world why people are afraid of being sent to hospital and how to solve these problems.
Florence put forward a revolutionary theory at that time, that is, as long as the building and physical maintenance were improved, the number of hospital deaths could be greatly reduced. More windows, better ventilation, better drainage, less crowded conditions and regular scrubbing of floors, walls and bedsteads are the basic measures that every hospital can take.
Florence soon became an expert in building hospitals, and hospitals all over the world were built according to her specifications. She wrote hundreds of letters on the sofa in London asking about sinks, saucepans, locks and laundry rooms. For her, every detail is well thought out. She figured out the most effective way to distribute clean Lynn, the best way to keep food hot, and the correct distance between beds. She intends to completely change the management of the hospital. Life depends on details.
Florence nightingale succeeded. Nightingale hospitals will be built all over the world. Florence will continue to advise on hospital planning for more than forty years. Today's hospital is full of flowers, and the wards are bright, clean and pleasant, which are the direct results of her work.
1857 A committee was set up in May to study all aspects of military medical services. The price paid for this is huge. The arduous task was given to florence nightingale, not because she volunteered, but because the task was crucial. She began to change. Become more eloquent, more pragmatic, more insightful and more firm and profound in theory than before. She is strict in style and strives for perfection-all this is at the expense of all her entertainment.
The summer of 1857 was a nightmare for Florence-she not only had to persuade the politicians who participated in the work of the Committee day and night, but also wrote a report on her personal experience. Meanwhile, pars and her mother leaned back on the sofa, reminding each other not to be too tired in arranging flowers.
It took Florence only six months to complete a confidential report, Minutes of British Medical Care, Efficiency and Hospital Management, with a length of 1000 pages. Its clarity and depth of consideration are unbelievable. Everything she learned from Crimea is on the page-every sentence is well supported.
Florence nightingale's basic idea is to nip in the bud. This was unconventional at that time, and many politicians and military doctors thought it was too outrageous and strange at the same time. They stubbornly opposed Florence and her supporters.
She must try her best to prove that the basic living conditions of soldiers are the cause of their death. She investigated dozens of hospitals and barracks and found that these places were wet, dirty, poorly ventilated, with dirty drainage pipes and polluted water supply systems. She pointed out that the patient's food was not good. According to the collected statistics, she proved that the death rate of young soldiers in peacetime is twice that of ordinary people.
She confirmed that although the army recruits only the healthiest young people, 65,438+0,500 people still die every year from neglected and nutritionless food and diseases. She shouted "Our soldiers were recruited by death in the barracks", which became the battle cry of her supporters.
The public is on her side. The more conservatives who oppose reform drag their feet, the greater the pressure for reform.
Although Florence did not completely defeat the opposition, many changes did take place. Some barracks were rebuilt, and the death rate was reduced by half in three years.
At this point, the intense work of the Committee has come to an end, but Florence will continue to study, plan and supervise the military medical reform in the next 30 years.
People are now beginning to hope that she can apply her knowledge to civilian hospitals that are "as bad as or even worse than military hospitals". 1859, she published a book called Hospital Minutes. This book reveals to the whole world why people are afraid to go to the hospital and how to improve this situation.
Florence put forward a revolutionary theory at that time, that is, as long as hospital facilities are improved and maintained, the mortality rate of hospitals will be greatly reduced. Opening more windows, increasing ventilation, improving sewage discharge, reducing congestion and scrubbing floors, walls and bedsteads regularly are the basic measures that all hospitals should take.
Florence soon became an expert in hospital facilities, and hospitals all over the world were designed according to her detailed rules. Sitting on the sofa at home in London, she wrote hundreds of letters asking about sinks, pans, locks and laundry rooms. For her, every detail has been given meticulous attention. She thought
