-1 ..... THE NIGHTINGALE 1938 Tl1e rising of 1'1L11'Sl11g' as a profession has paralleled soniewliat tl1e development of niedicine as a science 211111 profession. In the days of p1'1n11t1Ve and 1HS1L111C171VG eare of 1il1Q sick, little or no distiiiction was inade between nursing and 1110111011161 As inedieal lniowledge advanced, the care of the sick was lifted to a nobler plane and today the Work of cariiig' for the ill, aged, or disabled is classed with 1nedici11e as a11 honorable profession. The knowledge of tl1c nurse may he tliought of, 11ot as different from the pl1ysieian's, but applied with definite liniitations. Tl1e tieelinics 11sed i11 nursing' 211111 inedieine are niutualg which 111111 to positive health. Neither prevent a11d cure disease Elllfl proniote profession can sec11re the H1OSt coveted results without the other, for tl1e1r 1I1fll1011CC-3 is reciprocal. T11e i11fl11ence of niedicine on nursing' l1as been Very noticable th1'ougl1011t tl1e years. The standards of niedical ethies have been shared to a large degree by both professioiis. As one 1l1'l1'SG writer has said, Some of tl1e fi11est things which niedicine stands for, are its high se11se of respoiisihility for llulllall life, its scorn of quackery 3,1161 self advertisiiig, its serupulousness i11 g'l1il1't1l11g.L' the personal confidence of patients, and its 11s11al, SO111Cfll110S perliaps exaggerated, se11se of loyalty to professional colleagues. These saine principles are a part of the 111118675 code of ethics. Nursing' is a factor in niedieine which ea1111ot be over-estiniated. No country can ineasure up to its inedieal respo11si11ility unless it has at its disposal a11 intelligent well-trained body of nurses. At one time tl1e idea was held that the nurse was the servant of tl1e physi- cia11. This is soniewhat inisleadingl She is rather 'tthird eye to the physician, endeayoringi to aid 111111 with the spirit of loyalty to alleviate huinan sufferiiig and to a1111i11ilate disease. -i-he Relation of Nursing to thefvleciiccil Profession Mary Frey, '27, '35 Mary Frey, 728, Direetoi' of N1I1'Sl11Q.L' Service Horn at Sterling.

.1 I THE NIGHTINGALE 1938 Midst sorrow, joy and discontentg The doctor's days are ever spent, A life of sacrifice he leads, As to each troubled tale he heeds, VVith confidence and due respeetf Great things ot' hiin we each expeetag Unselfish of his own desires- He toils tln'ou,gl1 niany restless hoursg To new born babe he proinpts first breathg Unfaltering stands by side of deathg Both rich and poor alike he servesg And from his duty never swerves. Oh, doctor do you ever long- To flee far froin this troubled throng, Away from sickness, death and fear lllhere inultitudes cannot draw near? U nhesitating he replies : t'Tho' day and night lini called to 'rise, 'Tis joy tor nie to serve niankind, Thus making' lite tor ine sublinief' Say, reader at the close ot day, Did you ever stop to pray- That wisdoin ironi Divine control, May to the doctor daily flow? Artists have painted, poets have sung, Sculptors have written in stone The story of glorious, unselfish deeds That belong to the doctor alone. But eonie now ye painters, ye poets, draw near Tho' tales of his courage are rife, Herc's another whose virtues you also should show, His taithtul conipanion for weal or for woe The eininent doctor's good wife. Grouelies shc's conqueredg Pleasures she's inissedg llours she's waited in vaing While inipatient patients continue to And a delicious dinner grew heavy And the niaid vowed she 'd leave once Here's to the wonian stalwart and fine, Valiantly doing' her partg The doetorts boon conirade, true sweetheart, best friend, Who lovinfflv st-uids by his side to the end 5 my ' seold and cold again. The wife of his honic and his heart. Seleclefl llie D Margaret Risser The D OCJEOI' 1 7 OCJEOI' S 40
