  • You may know the story of The Lady With The Lamp, Florence Nightingale. Now you can find out about the remarkable woman they called ‘Mother Seacole’ and how she came to find herself in The Crimean War, caring for soldiers with her healing skills and affectionate care. And remember too that she would have had to battle prejudice - sexism and racism - in Victorian Britain, but she still remained undaunted and undeterred and brought comfort to so many people in need.. A wonderful woman!

    Dam shame , after watching the crimean war episodes (3) ……. all you ever hear about is Florence Nightingale , a women who never put her life in harms way , far removed from the action / suffering and carnage . Now this is a women (Mary Seacole) that we all can be proud of , a fine women . The British owe her a lot , a commemorative gold coin should be in order here …. . Go figure ……. how soon we forget .

    I have only read a good synopsis of Mary's autobiography, and can say that a lot of what is now being told of as her history is untrue at worst or twisted truth at best.
    Mary never claimed to be a 'Doctoress" nor that her mother was. In fact there was never any such word and Physicians were invariably male, as women were thought too incompetent to do such a job.
    Florence Nightingale was the first recognised Nurse in the world, for the same reason. Women were thought too stupid and weak (or 'delicate'). Florence was much maligned for her capabilities in her own time especially for her insistence on cleanliness as Physicians, such they were, took great pride in old dirty blood being on their coats. People believed it a testimony that they were experienced. Not only the quacks of the time believed that but people in general did.
    Mary wasn't untruthful and apparently never claimed to be a Nurse or Doctress. Nor that her mother was. She also wrote that she opened and ran an hotel and restaurant, not for the ill and injured. It was her business venture and she only sometimes visited patients in the local hospital.
    She did supply her brews to people and later realised that her concoctions must have killed a lot of them, which she deeply regretted. However, that was the nature of herbal medicines and it still is to some extent. There are countless herbal and spice 'cures' on the Web but if you search the recommended plant and write 'dangers' after the word in the search bar it is frightening how many times a thing can have an even worse effect than the illness and even sometimes be deadly.
    Also, she used mercury and lead. That said, she wasn't the only one. Such things did cure what they were treating and the bit later ill effects would appear to be unrelated. Laudnum was also heavily used and freely sold, and a lot of people became addicted and died from that too.
    It isn't possible to compare medical practice of even the time of Florence Nightingale with later practice. It would be incorrect to describe any of them as Nurses.
    The best way to find the truth of anything about the twisted histories we are now told is to try and buy the earliest edition books possible, particularly autobiographies (which also may be biased).
    Lies about history are almost always to divide and conquer. To make the group no longer favourable to those in control look bad. Years ago it was more popular to disparage Jews, and Blacks, Asians, whoever. Really it never matters too much which group, as long as the general populace can be signalled "Don't look here at us and what we are doing to you. Look at them there and what they did".
