Sally Tompkins was a very wealthy young woman who was a nurse that owned and ran her own private hospital in Richmond, Virginia during the American Civil War.
She too.
She was also commissioned as Captain in the Confederate Cavalry because, by law, all hospitals had to be under military rule to be able to receive medical supplies.
This statistic was even more remarkable considering that the worst cases were sent to her.
The hospital had the highest survival rate of any hospital north or south.
