[edit] Rewrite

Not a full rewrite, I just wanted to help get rid of some of the Portuguese words hanging around there. The article now looks mostly readable, but I don't know if it's correct. It'll need to be fact-checked; In the mean-time, it can stay up, although it should be tagged. It's 12:09am over here, so someone else will need to do that. I need some sleep :) -74.120.133.109 04:11, 10 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] History Section

This really needs a rewrite. Jvbishop 18:41, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

The Dandy section has no bearing on this article at all. It's a history of Dandy's medical education and career, some intersting stuff on early neuroangiography but nothing on intesive care medicine. I don't see the point. bobglickman —Preceding unsigned comment added by Bobglickman (talk • contribs) 15:24, 14 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] What does this say?

This paragraph makes little to no sense. It needs, at the least, a serious grammatical rework by someone who knows the subject. I can't even tell what the first sentence is supposed to say:

The Unit of Intensive Therapy is idealized as Unit of Monitoração of serious patient through nurse Florence Nightingale. In 1854 it is initiated war of the Criméia in which England, France and Turkey declares war on Russia. In precarious conditions, it passes to exist high mortality between the hospitalized soldiers, reaching 40% of deaths. Florence and more 38 volunteers leave for the Fields of Scurati, become incorporated it the attendance and mortality falls for 2%. Respected and adored, Florence becomes important figure of decision, being reference between the combatants. However, the destination reserved it a great blow when it contracts tifo and it remains with serious physical restrictions, returning in 1856 from the Criméia. Disabled to exert its physical works, formation of the school of nursing in 1859 in England is dedicated to it, where already she was recognized in its professional value and technician, receiving prize granted through the English government. It established the School of Nursing in the Saint Thomas Hospital, with course of one year, was given for doctors with theoretical and practical lessons. Florence died in 13 of August of 1910; leaving legacy of persistence, capacity, compassion and devotion to the next one, it established the lines of direction and way for modern nursing. 75.4.161.6 02:02, 20 March 2007 (UTC)
