I was recently sent an e-mail about Lillian Wald being named the 2007 Jewish-American Hall of Fame honoree. Ms. Wald was a Jewish-American Rochester, New York native who is regarded as the founder of "Visiting Nursing" in the U.S. and Canada. She attended New York Hospital's School of Nursing. According to an article on Nurse.com, Ms. Wald has been referred to as the "Jewish Florence Nightingale."

This story is not necessarily medical related, but I thought it should get a mention. A police officer in Queens was attacked last night by a drunk wielding a knife. The drunk stabbed at the officers heart and made contact. Fortunately, over the officer's heart was his police badge which shattered the knife upon contact. The drunk was then subdued and the officer escaped with only a minor cut on his hand. That according to an article in the New York Daily News.
