I have nothing but the greatest respect for nurses and other health professionals, and I don't think I have written anything which would imply disdain for nurses' accomplishments, abilities and professionalism. I do like your photograph, but I generally refrain from commenting on LUG photographic displays and medical diagnoses.

I think the answer to your question is Florence Rena Sabin, at least she was the first woman Professor at that otherwise slow-to-recognize minorities Institution. And, by the way, did you like the shot? Or should I have used a Woman Doctor instead of an NP? Would it have made my son's diagnosis different?
