Ever hear of the Florence Nightingale Effect? Well I did a little research for ya and here’s the scoop, it’s when a “caregiver” falls in love with their patient. Oddly enough, even though her name is part of the effect, Miss “lady of the lamp”, as Flo was known in her community, never married nor took a known long time partner. She focused on pioneering the nursing profession and established the foundation for what patient care is today. I wonder if our medical providers have taken a few liberties from her original mission because they sure do ask for a heck of a lot more money to make house calls. And as for that Florence Nightingale Effect, I say if a doctor or nurse wanna be your caregiver in professional practice and in modern romance then enjoy the medical benefits baby!
