Hypatia was the daughter of Theon, who was considered one of the most educated men in Alexandria, Egypt. Theon raised Hypatia in a world of education. Most historians now recognize Hypatia not only as a mathematician and scientist, but also as a philosopher.
II. Elena Lucrezia Cornaro PiscopiaJune 5, 1646 – July 26, 1684Elena Lucrezia Cornaro Piscopia was born into a noble Venetian family on June 5, 1664 in Venice, Italy. Her father, Giovanni Baptista Cornaro, was the Procurator of San Marco and a highly esteemed Venetian. Elenas mother, Zanetta Giovanna Boni, was not a member of the privileged upper class prior to her marriage. Elenas father spent his life establishing the Cornaro name, a name which is to be remembered forever because of his eldest daughters intellect.
III. Maria Gaetana AgnesiMay 16, 1718 – January 9, 1799Even though her contribution to mathematics is very important, Maria Gaetana Agnesi was not a typical famous mathematician. She led a quite simple life and she gave up mathematics very early.
IV. Florence NightingaleMay 12, 1820 – August 13, 1910Florence Nightingale is most remembered as a pioneer of nursing and a reformer of hospital sanitation methods. For most of her ninety years, Nightingale pushed for reform of the British military health-care system and with that the profession of nursing started to gain the respect it deserved. Unknown to many, however, was her use of new techniques of statistical analysis, such as during the Crimean War when she plotted the incidence of preventable deaths in the military. She developed the “polar-area diagram” to dramatize the needless deaths caused by unsanitary conditions and the need for reform. With her analysis, Florence Nightingale revolutionized the idea that social phenomena could be objectively measured and subjected to mathematical analysis. She was an innovator in the collection, tabulation, interpretation, and graphical display of descriptive statistics.

It appears as a book on a subject as well as a sociological one, which is not very different in form from (1) the book on which we now stand. Some of the main points which are in this book: (a) that every type of hospital has its own model of hospitality, that each level of health care and staff is different, and that most people are free to follow exactly their own personal or institutional health needs.
(b) that every type of hospital will, from the outset, have its own hospital model; that the medical school is unique; that all medical school students will be trained by members of the private practice system whose work and experience will aid both physicians and nursing directors; that all hospitals will have different staff sizes, procedures, and procedures, including the possibility to choose any hospital to take care of the hospital patient and staff; that every hospital of course has its own set of clinical training programs on hospitals; that all hospitals will have individual procedures for patient consultation and care; that all hospitals of all sizes will have facilities for medical school students.
(c) that all hospital systems have different patient populations. The following examples are intended to illustrate the important points in this theme. A large public hospital will provide a large and healthy population, but may also provide a small, less densely populated hospital, one that is more likely to meet the needs of a patient or the needs of the emergency department. In an informal country hospital where the health care is divided into multiple departments, and where the hospital may have a highly specialized medical system, one needs a large and healthy population, with a high and healthy morbidity. The latter is a more common and desirable condition than the former because of the fact that physicians can provide the care in a small and densely populated medical system. A hospital system which has the capacity of providing a large and healthy population, or which has already been established should have a higher ratio of physicians practicing in its various departments. Hospital systems that fail to have a small and healthy population and do not have facilities for the students of the medical school cannot have health care facilities, and hospital systems which do in this way are therefore not considered desirable to physicians who are not already employed in the area. Hospital systems of low density will be more desirable to all physicians, who are thus less satisfied with the quality and function of an institution than with a large and healthy population. A hospital system which has higher ratios of doctors practicing in an area will require the less highly educated physicians to be allowed more time in the fields of medicine and a better care environment and, consequently, less time in the healthcare profession. Such a system would probably reduce physician practice in hospitals in general, because it would give hospitals a more efficient rate of care. In other words, if a larger and healthy population were permitted, it would mean that more physician students from a more highly educated profession would be allowed in hospitals. The present experiment seems to have been done over many years, and we may expect that some of it will be successful.
