TALES FROM KENTUCKY NURSES
Book ID/图书代码： 13012015B78508
English Summary/英文概要： From frontier times to the present day, Kentucky nurses have served with intelligence and energy, always ensuring that their patients received the best available care. Noted folklorist and oral historian William Lynwood Montell collects nearly two hundred stories from these hard-working men and women in Tales from Kentucky Nurses. From humorous anecdotes to spine-chilling coincidences, tragic circumstances, and heartwarming encounters, the tales in this lively volume are recorded exactly as they were told to Montell.
Covering medical practice in the state from the early twentieth century through contemporary times, the episodes related in Tales from Kentucky Nurses reveal the significance of the nursing profession to the Bluegrass state’s local life and culture. They include funny tales -- such as the story of an injured stripper who swore her pole had been sabotaged and an anecdote about a surgeon racing between hospitals who paid his speeding ticket twice, knowing he would have to hurry the other way in a few hours. Montell also presents moving stories like the recollections of a nurse who helped a frail cancer patient achieve his last wish of being baptized.
"Montell presents the stories of Kentucky nurses through the voices of the nurses themselves." -- Deborah Reed, Distinguished Service Professor and Good Samaritan Endowed Chair of Nursing at the University of Kentucky
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 从西部蛮荒时代到现今，肯塔基州的护士们一直以来都运用他(她)们的智慧和活力在服务着大众，确保病患们能得到最好的悉心照顾。著名的民俗和历史学家威廉姆•林伍德•蒙特尔在这本书中，收集了近两百年来，这些勤勉工作的男女们默默奉献的故事。从诙谐幽默的奇闻轶事，到令人毛骨悚然的巧合机缘故事，悲惨的境遇，和感人的遭遇，这些生动的故事，在蒙特尔的笔下一一向读者们再现。
涵盖了从现代到二十世纪初的行医实践探索之路，在这本“肯塔基州护士纪实”一书中所涉及的相关故事，向我们揭示了从专业护理的重要性，到牧草州（美国肯塔基州别名）当地的风土人情。其中不乏一些让人忍俊不禁的故事，如一位受伤的脱衣舞女发誓自己的钢管被人蓄意破坏过，一位外科医生因为要着急在几个小时内赶到医院，而接到两次超速罚单的趣事。蒙特尔在书中还向我们讲述了一个护士帮助一位临终的癌症病人完成自己施受洗礼遗愿的感人故事。
这部难得的纪实故事讲述了来自在美国著名的“前沿护理服务”机构，专为偏远地区的家庭提供最为基本的保健医疗服务，该项目的负责人玛丽•布雷肯里奇一直恪守铭记这自己的智慧与慈悲之心。除此之外，蒙特尔还和受访者分享有关鬼的故事，遂即还讲述了当地一个关于将斧子放在一个正在分娩的女人枕头之下，可以减少疼痛的偏方趣闻。这些最新的资料不仅是在向一个高尚的职业致敬，同时也是肯塔基州历史上最为重要的一部医学历史篇章。(Sandy)
