Aspiring doctors from across North America fought to gain poorly paid and voluntary positions at the the Marine and Emigrant Hospital, because it provided unique opportunities for medical/surgical practice and observation, and because it boasted the educational leadership of some of the continent's most innovative and skilled practitioners. But, the Marine and Emigrant Hospital was not known solely for its impressive staff and (sometimes) impressive medical record. It was a poorly managed, inadequately funded institution, situated within a socially volatile colonial context. Relationships among the hospital's medical staff and members of the larger community of Quebec's doctors were often tense and at times openly antagonistic, with the result that between the mid-1840s and the mid-1850s the hospital became the focus of a series of very public scandals, involving malpractice suits, large-scale graft, coerced death-bed conversions, and sexually explicit slander and counter-slander details of which were recorded in hundreds of pages of witness statements, commissioners' reports, privately published open letters and memoirs, and newspaper accounts. In this paper, I offer a brief tour of the Marine and Emigrant Hospital and the social world its inhabitants constructed within it, as seen through the various documents they left behind. 鈥淪hun Not the Struggle: Cecily Jane Georgiana Fane Pope, 1862-1938" Genevieve MacDonald Prince Edward Islander Georgiana Pope is deserving of continued recognition for her significant contributions to the practice of nursing, which include her founding of military nursing in Canada, her establishment of a school of nursing in Washington, and her pioneering (along with Mary Rogers) of the practice of what is now called 鈥渁ffiliation鈥� for student nurses. Born in 1862, Georgiana Pope was the first nurse in Canada to receive the Royal Red Cross, awarded for 鈥渟pecial devotion and competency in ... nursing duties.鈥� Matron Georgiana Fane Pope devoted her life to the service of others. Of her 34 years as a graduate nurse, she devoted 13 to civilian nursing and the other 21 years to military nursing. While a civilian nurse, she was a leader both in the supervision of nurses in hospital and in the teaching and direction of nursing students. She was responsible for achieving military rank and pay for nurses in Canada, which became the first country in the world to grant rank to women.
