@Puritania or, and level with me here. Sometimes when you're friends with people, plus being comfortable and intoxicated with them. You joke with friends a certain way. For example; I've been friends with Jon for 2 weeks, we constantly make jokes about sending each other into the corner and threaten to give each other a pop on the hand or a kick in the ass when we say something stupid. Not everything needs to equate to that. C'mon now.
How she got her name is interesting. Her father inherited a bunch of money, but in the will it was stipulated he had to change his name to Nightingale, which was the last name of the person whose money he inherited. She got her first name cause she was born in Florence, Italy.
@Eleanor Morgan Thank you! I’ve studied her in the past and had never heard about how she got her last name before. I feel like her dad got a twofer, a big inheritance and a kickass last name.
@@DeathnoteBB yes but she said she was researching it for 11 years, and bed ridden. How did she present it to the Queen? She also said she was super I'll when she got back so the timeline is a little fuzzy.
Despite this being a silly skit, it moved me to tears and caused me to read more about Florence Nightingale. There were enough facts amidst all the silliness to pique my interest. Minka Kelly looked so gorgeous as Florence. Thank you, Comedy Central.
Minka Kelly is hilarious too. This is the first I've ever heard of her but whatever she does for a profession.. I hope it includes physical comedy at some point.
Well the royals have access to the best doctors and best care. So its no surprise they'll be reach 90s to 100s. Kinda sad id rest the population had access to that type of healtb care, you could see life expectancy sky rocket to 80s to 90s at least.
Sputum is a medical term. Fun fact, this was the same time period that the Harriet Tubman video takes place. Both were nurses, both great contributors to females in history, and humanity in general. Both volunteered, but Florence has the safety net of being a rich kid. Both driven badass bosses, changing history for the sake of others, sacrificing their own health and safety. Makes me happy to be a nursing student.

My teenage body and brain really enjoyed Friday Night Lights. The first time I think I saw something that Minka Kelly was in. She was and is gorgeous. I don't think I've seen her in other comedic roles, but this was great. I wish they'd re-start the show.
@Dan Stedham she was the first one to actually use a pie chart graphical representation but ofc people didn't know what a pie chart was at her time, so unofficially she's the inventor of it
@@bananamcdonald4916 incorrect She popularize the Pie chart, and it was already being used in the early 1800s although few but mostly due at that time it was still freshly new. It wasn't until Nightingale used it, and thanks to her achievement in the medical field, made the pie chart more know.
Ok. This is the third drunk history I've seen with paget in half an hour. I'm gonna need a list of all of then so I can binge them, immediately. Twice.
This was a great piece, but I wish they had gone a bit more into how Florence changed policies at the hospital that led to reducing the mortality rate substantially. She didn't wait 11 years to recognize the issue was infection, she saw it and actively worked to fix it while she was there. Also, Paget Brewster is AWESOME!
Matt H and it took so long because the government was hiding and undermining her work because they didn’t want the public to see the actual infection deaths over battlefield deaths.
This video confirms two things: One, Minka Kelly is both one of the most beautiful women of our time (and unfortunately one of the most underrated); and Two, Paget Brewster is an angry drunk.
The book is not used anymore in hospitals today. We don´t disinfect with wine anymore, and we rather prescribe antibiotics before sawing off infected limbs. - Nurse, 2019
I agree! Flo was great, don't get me wrong; but, she was also racist and wouldn't hire Mary Seacole when she wanted to go work with her in Crimea. Mary Seacole was a bad ass who needs her own movie.
If she's only in extra history, that's a massive mistake, considering she was before Florence nightingale and did more than her, and didn't treat her fellow nurses like shit, like Florence did
After incidentally watching two episodes in a row narrated by Paget Brewster, I was super pumped to find that she's narrating this one as well. Holy crap, she's fantastic.
"Drunk History" has taught me more about history, than my high school history class. ... in less time, and in a more entertaining way, so that I actually retain the information better.
This was really great. I always thought Florence Nightingale was a nurse who fell in love with a patient, and that was the only thing she ever did. No, she's this huge historical figure who had a gigantic impact on modern medicine - that's amazing! Thank you!
If I was a teacher I'd show a lot of drunk history because they always find a way to make it fascinating, and history shouldn't be boring in the first place.
as a nursing school student i love Florence nightingale but i also despise her for starting the first nursing school as nursing school has currently ruined my life😅
I wish I could like this multiple times. I love her! And he's amazing! I'm watching them all and loving every one. Even the ones about war which typically doesn't interest me at all. I hope the videos never end.
This is close to my heart because we studied a bit about her in Nursing school. It's a cornerstone and beginning of the curriculum. We take the "Nightingale Pledge" and we learned that she championed hygeine, fresh air, and getting patients up and moving when previously they thought they should lay in bed forever to heal. Badass lady.

Sanae Mcmurray I know they nail it every time! ❤️❤️❤️
Not to mention they do multiple lines in one take, so they absolutely nail the timing of it too. I'm consistently impressed haha!
The actor playing Sidney Herbert is also remarkably good.

Okay but who tf gave Florence Nightingale the right to have one of the coolest, best sounding names EVER?!
For real. She sounds like a spy. Or an author's pseudonym,

They were awesome.
They deserve an Oscar. All of them!
Yes!🤣
Simply THE BEST part of the show!!!
First time seeing this show?
"The first nursing school in the history of ever?" cracked me up. And honestly, cudos to the camera guy who timed that perfectly.
Mostly the editor did that.
“She stays in bed for eleven years”
Florence: *WHAT*
That was my favorite moment, I love when they seem to be considering rebelling against the narration...
Yet, she wrote her book 3 years after returning, so im not sure where the 11 years fits in ........

That Crimean River joke was EXPERTLY timed!
There's so much chemistry between these two! I'm more interested in their side plot than I am in Florence Nightingale!
Paget Brewster is a great drinking buddy. And Minka Kelly has great comedic gestures.
and the most underrated YT comment goes to...
0:39
I am amazed how Paget took a sentence "Shut it up, now", and made it into 4 interdependent words that both sounded like a sentence and also not.
Complete with flipping the bird

I love Paget and Derek’s big sister and little brother dynamic especially in this episode it’s so entertaining
Derek bringing up Crimea River for the 2nd time was extra funny lol
The British royal family is semi-immortal, I'm half convinced of this.
They went over that in Dr who tho right?
Well the Queen Mother lived til over 100 so probably.
It's that lizard thing that Icke talks about. If I'm ever around a royal, I'm going to secretly release a fly just to see what happens.
Well the royals have access to the best doctors and best care. So its no surprise they'll be reach 90s to 100s. Kinda sad id rest the population had access to that type of healtb care, you could see life expectancy sky rocket to 80s to 90s at least.
