Marilyne Posted 14 July , 2020 Share Posted 14 July , 2020 Good Morning, Was reding the service records of Staff Nurse Elizabeth Watson yesterday. In her attestation papers, she cites her work experience but I did not manage to catch all the words… a little help please??? I have ??? (treated??) all kinds of ??? cases: Typhoid, Typhus, Scarlet fever, Measles, chicken pox, smallpox, diphtheria and also trachestomy cases, ???, puerperal fever and ph???” looks like she specialised in infectuous diseases. She would later be employed in the influenza and pneumonia wards of the hospitals she worked at in France, eventually dying from the illness herself. M.

TEW Posted 14 July , 2020 Share Posted 14 July , 2020 The [???? cases ;-] part looks like the following diseases are all included as ???? cases. IE Typhus, typhoid, scarlet fever, measles etc. are all cases of the ??? type. Perhaps. TEW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking at it again, I think it could be “I have nursed all kinds of vivo cases”, which would make sense in relation to the subsequent list.

I'll hit google later on to know what Erysipelas and Phthisis is… no wonder I could not guess the words.. M. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
headgardener Posted 14 July , 2020 Share Posted 14 July , 2020 The first is essentially a form of inflamed infected skin / connective tissue, and the other is the old way of describing TB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
