#amwriting Home away from home office at Inova Fairfax



#amwriting Home away from home office at Inova Fairfax

When it comes to writing, history does not take into consideration difficulty.

April 6, 2017 #amwriting KED

Last year, in January, February, and March of 2016, when a family member was very sick at Inova Fairfax Hospital just outside of Washington DC, in northern-Virginia, I was writing my columns on the fly. I wrote one in the car in the parking garage, in the cold. I wrote them in the passenger seat of the car while Caroline drove.

However, many of them – most of them, were written in the middle of the night at an out of the way dining area deep in the bowels of the Inova Fairfax Hospital.

As an aside, I have visited hospitals literally all over the world. And in spite of the fact that Inova Fairfax is a ginormous hospital, it was an exceptionally nice hospital. The staff was very accommodating and definitely in the customer service business. And oh, I just looked-up the hospital to make sure that I spelled it correctly and I see where the wait time in the ER, at the moment, is “12 mins.” Just saying…. Hmmmm http://www.inova.org/patient-and-visitor-information/facilities/inova-fairfax-hospital/index.jsp

Anyway, I just ran across this picture…. And I thought I would share it. In the center, at the table with the coffee cup, up against the back wall, was my home away from home office for weeks. April 6, 2017 #amwriting

Dayhoff: Historical markers dedicated for the Henryton Nursing School, Tuberculosis Sanatorium


Dayhoff: Historical markers dedicated for the Henryton
Nursing School, Tuberculosis Sanatorium

By Kevin Dayhoff May 22, 2016


About 50 folks huddled along the shoulder of Henryton Road
at the entrance of the historic Henryton State Hospital complex May 14 to
dedicate two roadside historic markers. The sun shined brightly on the
ceremonies in a rare reprieve in the recent streak of endless days of rainfall.

No, the celebrants were not there to dedicate an ark, but it
nearly took an act of God to get the state of Maryland to tacitly acknowledge
the very existence of the historic segregated facility for the treatment of
African Americans suffering from tuberculosis and the segregated nursing school
that was once located there — far out of sight of urban Baltimore and the seat
of state government in Annapolis.

Noted civil rights leader John Lewis Jr., the 2nd vice
president of the Carroll County NAACP, was the master of ceremonies. Other
community leaders, such as Pam Zappardino, Charles Collyer, Virginia and
Charles Harrison, Jean Lewis, Del. Susan Krebs R-District 5, the Rev. Douglas
Sands and Maryland NAACP president Gerald G. Stansbury were on hand to share in
the ceremonies.


This writer began looking into the history of the hospital
in the early 1970s when it caught my attention during an assignment to research
the history of hospitals in Carroll County for a project for what was
then-Carroll County General Hospital.

Over the years, researching the history of hospital has
difficult. What little information on the hospital that was found was often
conflicting, inconsistent, and only appeared in anecdotal accounts; often
without a comprehensive context. Many historians contacted in the 1970s were
barely aware of the facility.

Diary of an intensive-care nurse | New York Post

Diary of an intensive-care nurse | New York Post:


“Diary of an intensive-care nurse,” By Kristen McConnell December 9, 2012 in the New York Post http://nypost.com/2012/12/09/diary-of-an-intensive-care-nurse/

Poignant words from “Diary of an intensive-care nurse,” By Kristen McConnell December 9, 2012 in the New York Post: “… I also understood the nurses who voice their advocacy of natural death — and their fear of ending up like some of our patients — in regular discussions of plans for DNR tattoos. For example: ‘I am going to tattoo DO NOT RESUSCITATE across my chest. No, across my face, because they won’t take my gown off. I am going to tattoo DO NOT INTUBATE above my lip.’ Another nurse says that instead of DNR, she’s going to be DNA, Do Not Admit… But the oldest nurse on my unit has instructed her children never to call 911 for her…”
