ALT1: ... that later when, as the new president, Roosevelt had to undergo a painful leg operation at St. Vincent Indianapolis Hospital, he asked them to send Regina Purtell(pictured) to personally attend to him? Source: [2]

Comment: There is more, but I didn't want to add too many hooks. She nursed sons of the Rough Riders through the global pandemic of Spanish flu, and she received Louisiana's first full military funeral for a nun, with gun salutes, and Spanish-American war veterans, doctors, and nurses in attendance.
Overall: @Fortunaa: Good article. AGF on the sources I can't access. Onegreatjoke (talk) 00:35, 22 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
