[[File:Florence Nightingale.png|thumb|right]] '''Florence Nightingale''' (1820 - 1910) was a British nurse who is considered the founder of modern nursing. She was affectionately called "The Lady with a Lamp" referring to how she carried an oil lamp during hospital night rounds. While stationed in Crimea, Nightingale developed "Crimean fever" (a bacteria infection now known as brucellosis) and never recovered. Although [[Myalgic Encephalomyelitis]] (ME) and [[chronic fatigue syndrome]] (CFS) were not defined in her lifetime, many current physicians and medical historians believe she developed [[ME/CFS]] as a result of a chronic brucellosis infection. Despite being bedbound, Nightingale continued to work until her death on advancing the nursing profession and lobbying for regulatory changes to hospitals ('''[[Florence Nightingale|more]]...''')
