Why is general hospital so bad

He has to be the worst actor ever to play on this soap. I wish that they would find someone better to play spencer. I like romance more than the mob any day on GH!!

He has always been so over-bearing! And, I thought they were getting rid of Amy? But, here she is with a new Man Landers story, and a brother! But, I really look forward to this, more than more of Sonny and the mob! I tried once to watch GH years ago and I could not because of the mob.

The work of Florence Nightingale and her nurses set the standards for modern day nursing. When all the medical officers have retired for the night, and silence and darkness have settled down upon these miles of prostrate sick, she may be observed alone, with a little lamp in her hand, making her solitary rounds.

Both had approached Nightingale to work in her hospital at Scutari, but Seacole was turned down, and Davis was one of a party who were sent to Scutari but was not wanted by Nightingale. Florence returned after the war as a national heroine. She had been shocked by the conditions in the hospital and began to campaign to improve the quality of nursing in military hospitals. This helped with the setting up of the Army Medical College.

She had important influence on campaigns to improve healthcare in the 19th and 20th centuries. Until her death, Nightingale encouraged the development in nursing in Britain and abroad. The main reason we remember her is that she did a lot of work educating people about the importance of keeping hospitals clean and free from infection, and this work is carried on today in modern hospitals.

However, Florence Nightingale should also be remembered for her skills as a statistician and because of this, she became the first female member of the Royal Statistical Society in She was able explain in diagram form that most of the deaths recorded in army hospitals came from disease, rather than from battle wounds and that disease could be controlled by good nutrition, ventilation, and shelter.

I fear that due to poor, prolonged story arcs as well as low ratings and too many characters on canvas, GH is literally on life support. I have watched on and off since However, in the middle of all the craziness, we do need a few small things to still make sense.

Psychiatrist Kevin Collins came to town to help capture his serial killer twin Ryan Chamberlain. Everything came to an end when Ryan was seemingly killed in an explosion. Unfortunately, Ryan switched places with Kevin, escaped and went on another killing spree.

We just never bought that Ryan would keep this aspect of his life secret from his best friends Mac and Felicia, and his wife Laura. Sonny Corinthos and Jason Morgan are the most powerful mobsters on the east coast, and have been running Port Charles for years.

This means they live with a huge amount of security. Bodyguards, bulletproof windows, and several safe houses around town. Perhaps they need to think about some new security protocols.
