Week 7. THE Spanish Flu 1918

SPANISH FLU INSPIRATION

“For nurses, the influenza pandemic became the most dangerous time of the war. During the outbreak, nurses cared for thousands of sickened soldiers. For the nurses in Europe, these ill men arrived in addition to the combat casualties from the battlefields. The situation proved dire as medical professionals could do little to help people stricken with influenza. Without a cure or effective treatment, nurses became even more important than doctors as they tried to decrease the suffering of their patients with their nursing care, blankets, food and kindness.” -Dr. Allison S. Finkelstein, Senior Historian, Arlington National Cemetery
