A long time ago this was considered a modern operating room. But today a sur- geon would not think of performing surgery unless his stereo system was placed on his favorite channel and a resident was on call to take over in case a smoke break was needed. Oh, how our modern surgeons suffer. “This is not an institution for the exhibition of brilliant surgery and specialties in. diseases by renowned experts. It is simply a cottage hospital, ahome for the care and treatment of those sick and injured citizens of Durham who are deprived of the | favorable conditions that are necessary for their comfort and the successful manage- | ment of their maladies. The pure air, sunlight, good food, and careful nursing which | this institution will afford will of themselves save many lives which could be sacrificed | under the poorer sanitary conditions of many homes and boarding-houses.”

“Three years ago | was for a short while a patient in a hospital, and only then did | fully learn the invaluable services of her we term a trained nurse. With her womanly gentleness given to her by God, augmented by years of study, reflection, and experience, she becomes almost a heavenly visitant, an angel of mercy at the bedside of the sick. She knows his needs, she realizes his condition, her hand is always ready to make him comfortable, her earnest sympathy en- courages him, her firmness stimulates him, and her training enables her to faithfully carry out the physi- cians’ instructions. More than once | have been told that her services are more valuable than physic.” George W. Watts February 21, 1895
