Leaves of Grass

Walt Whitman
Greg, RN BSNGreg, RN BSN

@manfromroto A paraphrase from “Leaves of Grass”. It appears to be about love with a woman. But Walt Whitman was a nurse to many wounded soldiers during the Civil War in federal buildings—and more modest buildings—like this. He looked out a window, thinking. He helped them out of love. https://t.co/n4BSL4sAhC

@BoldenSkip An error in ‘The Andromeda Strain’ (1971). Dr. Ruth Leavitt (Kate Reid) is lying on the floor foaming at the mouth from epilepsy. Mark Hall, MD (James Olson) doesn’t turn her on her side so she doesn’t choke on her vomit. Oops! Nurse Karen Anson (Paula Kelly) would have done it. https://t.co/1RAHcFUqQd
