Sad to think that those hospitals are abandoned and torn down now. But then I think of the miracle modern, cutting edge facilities it takes to do the extraordinary medicine we have today. As a transplant patient with critical injuries, wholly, and utterly dependent on my nurse to care for my every need. I thank them any chance I get.
my grandmother went to nursing school before 1920, she retired at a very old age, in the 1970s. At the time she just went to a local hospital and lived there full time, while the older nurses played jokes on her! But, she was just out of an orphanage, and after she graduated high school (The children were helped into a profession). She demanded to become a NURSE. No one had before! she had to convince the orphanage she could do it! SHE COULD AND DID! And from then on, nursing became one of the choices for orphans. She would even go back and speak about it!
I used to wear a cap in the early 80’s. By the mid to late 80’s I didn’t wear it as much. In the 90’s we started wearing scrubs, instead of white uniforms. I will admit, when we wore white uniforms and caps, we got more respect. Also, the 8 hour shifts were easier to work. New nurses were treated poorly in my time.
I'm a male nurse in the peds oncology/bone marrow unit. It's so interesting how the profession has changed significantly, and yet our foundation, our practice and our experiences remained the same
Because it's about a time when the government was trying to appear like the extension of a "The Good Family". When my grandmother was a kid around 1917 health workers would visit every house, handing out tooth brushes and teaching the kids how to brush their teeth. There were 9 kids in her family and they didn't learn English until they went to school at 5. They then left school at 9-10 years old to be "bobbin girls " in mills 6 days a week 12 hours a day. So they wanted the kids to be as healthy as possible I guess. If your fingernails weren't clean in school you got a ruler across your knuckles.
This makes me wonder where she is now. Nurses from every decade are heroes. Even young people like me know that. We were able to eradicate TB, and it's all thanks to nurses from the 1950s. My favorite decade. I wish I could go back in time to the simplicity of the 1950s. There's a magic about it. The music, the cars, and even the nurses make it seem like the friendliest decade to be in. Such a contrast to the violent and technologically full country of today. There was someone who once told me that nurses in the '50s didn't care. Obviously that person didn't see Nurse Wallace. If I were in Ed's position, I'd be talking. I make friends with my doctors and nurses. I wonder how nice it was to be friends with her. If she is still around, I just want to say thank you, and all nurses from the '50s. You'll never be forgotten.
@@Corwin1141 you never know. People are getting to around 110 years old now. My great grandmother lived until she was 98. It'd be cool if she was still around, but if not, I'm sure she blessed lots of patients in her career.
I REMEMBER NURSES WEARING THEIR CAPS WHEN I WAS GROWING UP I JOKINGLY ASKED A NURSE IF SHE HAD AN ANEURYSM UNDER HER CAP SHE SMILED AND SAID NO I DON'T HAVE AN ANEURYSM UNDER MY CAP I JUST LAUGHED AT THE THOUGHT I SAID TO HER NOTHING WAS MEANT BY THAT KNUCKLEHEAD JOKE. THAT KNUCKLEHEAD JOKE HAS SAVED MY NECK A FEW TIMES WHEN I NEEDED IT
Oh dear. I love to see this vintage stuff, but as a modern nurse and surgical tech, it's freaking me out a little. Gloves were probably available only for surgery...and the way they washed hands...seeing them remove their masks right on top of the surgical patient...passing a used syringe needle first...wow. I just want to cry.

What kind of LA LA Land does this narrator live in ? Nursing isn't some Disney movie experience . As with any job, you have your sweet helpful staff and then there's the hateful ones that won't lift a finger to help you . Both back then and now .
Remember this was a recruiting film designed with the intent to encourage a nurse to work in a TB sanitorium in the middle of nowhere. and back in the 50's there was a lot more common civility, that has been lossed in the last 30 years.
This is a *propaganda* film designed to deceive people about what sanitariums were really like both for the patients and the medical professionals. My father was born in 1943 and contracted TB but survived it. His story was not typical from his neighborhood of the other young men who contracted the disease. There was one sanatorium where they started incinerating the bodies in mass amounts because they could not handle the sheer volume of deceased on a daily basis anymore. They had an area where they would spot incinerate them in large groups. Waverly Hills Sanatorium is truly its own little slice of hell. I will give this video one thing though...the people that worked in those places were REAL heroes....not silly football players or pop stars. People who risk their lives to protect others.
@@TruthWillFreeYou Streptomycin ~ 1947 and later Look at all the pictures here www.feltondesignanddata.com/cressontbsanatoriumremembered/id273.html They were using streptomycin then, so it probably wasn't as scary compared to when they didn't have medicine for it. One big secret and conspiracy is that a lot of sources say that 1/3 of the human race is infected with TB and about 4% of the US population have latent tuberculosis right now.

TB wasn’t eradicated I am a bit confused unless you mean that it was less often a life sentence and that it became much more rare
Absolutely amazing. Adore it💫
They don't make it this good now! No wonder the standards of cinematography dropped so much
