Book excerpt: Excerpt from Public Health Nurse Quarterly, Vol. 7: October, 1915 Would it not be interesting to_ know whether figures based upon all cases cared for by Visiting Nurse Associa tions would bear out deductions similar to those which Dr. Frankel has drawn from the Metropolitan cases only? A point which troubled me for an instant was the cer tain percentage of cases rated. As having been nursed when no physician was In attendance, though a closer reading showed that these calls were initial calls only and that hav ing made the call and having discovered that no physician was in attendance the nurse left the case, in Obedience to rules which govern all Public Health Nursing organizations and which oblige a refusal of any case of illness not at tended by a physician. However, although it seems to me that Dr. Frankel asks of the Public Health Nurse some efforts, which properly belong to the medical profession and to Boards of Health, we thank him most heartily for searching nursing records and for levying from them all that they can con tribute toward the settling of this vast and confused prob lem of where and who are the sick. Nothing could be more advantageous to our nursing organizations than that they should be subjected to thorough scrutiny with a View to making them yield exact information which will render them as valuable as possible along lines of general utility and helpful investigation.
