Book Synopsis No Time for Tears by : Lora Wood Hughes

Download or read book No Time for Tears written by Lora Wood Hughes and published by U of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 1985-01-01 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In her later years, while World War II was raging, Lora Wood Hughes wrote about her busy and interesting life as a nurse. The reissue of No Time for Tears, long out of print, restores her voice to human memory. During a career that took her to Hawaii, Montana, Washington, and Canada, she never stopped caring for people, and some of them would have tried anyone's patience. Among her "cases" described in lively detail here are a stingy dowager and a measle-ridden prostitute who causes her to be quarantined in a house of ill fame. The "crazy patterns" of her rich and humane life continued into World War II when, instead of resting in her home on Puget Sound, she supervised a Red Cross hospital unit.
