A l'automne 1940, Flavie et Evelina s'apprêtent à vivre l'épreuve la plus intense de leur vie. Diplômées de l'école d'infirmières de l'hôpital Notre-Dame au moment où se trame la Seconde Guerre mondiale, les braves jeunes femmes ont décidé de s'engager pour porter secours aux soldats blessés en Angleterre. Alors que Flavie espère retrouver Clément, devenu médecin militaire en Europe, Evelina souhaite simplement fuir une vie qui ne lui était pas destinée. Quant à Simone, la troisième complice, elle choisit de ne pas prendre part à l'aventure, menant son propre combat au service de l'hôpital de Rouyn en dépit de son statut de femme mariée. En débarquant dans le Vieux Pays, les deux amies découvriront les atrocités de la guerre, affectées d'abord aux hôpitaux de campagne, puis plus près du front. Heureusement, ces Nursing Sisters, comme on appelle les infirmières canadiennes dépêchées sur les champs de bataille, trouveront un certain réconfort ainsi qu'un parfum de leur terre natale en entretenant une correspondance avec leur collègue demeurée de l'autre côté de l'Atlantique. Elles entendent bien la revoir un jour, si jamais le terrible conflit prend fin…

Dans le brasier de la Seconde Guerre mondiale, deux amies infirmières, deux destins, une vocation : soulager, soigner. Après des années de recherches historiques minutieuses, Teresa Messineo signe un premier roman passionnant, poignant de réalisme, et un formidable hommage à toutes ces héroïnes de l'ombre. Jo et Kay se sont rencontrées à New York au cours de leurs études d'infirmière à la fin des années 1930. Désireuses de partir à l'aventure, les deux jeunes femmes s'engagent aux côtés des Alliés. C'est là que leurs chemins se séparent. Jo est envoyée sur le front de l'Ouest, en France, où elle doit superviser un hôpital de fortune, tandis que Kay est envoyée à Hawaï, où aura lieu l'attaque de Pearl Harbour. Dans l'horreur des corps mutilés, de la maladie et de la famine, chacune s'accroche à sa vocation, mais aussi à l'amour et à l'amitié, pour trouver le courage de supporter l'insupportable. L'espoir sera-t-il plus fort que la mort ? Que restera-t-il de leur précieux lien après ces années de séparation et de souffrance ?

"World War I is widely regarded as the first modern war, driven by fearful new technologies of mechanized combat. The unprecedented carnage rapidly advanced military medicine, transforming the nature of wartime caregiving and paving the way for modern nursing practice. Drawing on firsthand accounts of American nurses, as well as their Canadian and British counterparts, this powerful study describes WWI nurses' encounters with devastating new forms of war-related injury-wounds from high-explosive artillery shells, poison gas burns, "shell shock," the Spanish Flu-and the interventions and technologies they deployed in treating them, including the Carrel-Dakin method of deep wound irrigation, the Balkan frame, and the Ohio Monovalve gas anesthesia machine."--

This book is a practical guide, with rationale to supporting people with epilepsy. It encompasses epilepsy guidance such as NICE (2012, revised 2019), The Equality Act (2010), the children and families act (2014), current evidence based-practice, and regulatory organisation standards. It is predominantly aimed at nurses and student nurses, especially, those studying learning disability nursing but also residential, respite and supported living services, schools and family carers, to enable them to offer appropriate and evidence-based support to people with epilepsy of all ages. It is estimated there are approximately 1200 epilepsy related deaths each year in the UK. Many of these are considered to be preventable. High-profile cases have led to an increase in anxiety in people providing services, and greater scrutiny of those services by regulatory bodies. Over the years, the authors have been asked the same questions and witnessed the same misunderstandings and mistakes, by people supporting individuals with epilepsy. So they looked at the common themes and the resources available. It became clear that the information to address these gaps is available, but not easily accessible. There is lots of information in the public domain, however much of it is factual, rather than practical. This book provides practical information and resources with the focus on “what needs to happen”,” how to make it happen” and “who needs to do it”. This book is useful for supporting people with epilepsy wherever they live (both within and outside the United Kingdom).

This book presents the latest approaches to cholangioscopy and covers recent innovations in single-operator cholangioscopy platforms, which have evolved from fibre-optic technology to digital endoscopes and have significantly advanced the management of biliary disease. The first part presents the development of cholangioscopy and hepatobiliary anatomy and then goes on to discuss the indications for this technique. With dedicated chapters on each stage of the technique, the book subsequently covers patient preparation and nursing issues, set-up, and different types of cholangioscopy. This book offers a highly topical resource, and addresses the technical challenges related to the procedure, including the different systems available. Accompanied by an extensive library of videos and images, it represents a unique and novel resource for all advanced biliary endoscopists.
