Thank you, Nurse A

My Mom found that it was not easy being a female physician in the United States in the 1950s.

She remembers the colleagues, especially those at Wyckoff Heights Hospital, who eased the path for her. Many such colleagues were nurses who helped Mom with her English, patiently explained techniques to her, and made Mom feel like a professional.

Brooklyn, New York, Summer 1952. My Mom especially recalls the kindnesses of "Nurse A."
