Talk:Sarah Maud Heckford

hmm
Assuming that Elizabeth Anderson cannot have been running two hospitals in the 1860/70s then Elizabeth Garrett Anderson and Obstetric Hospital must link up with this article. Is the hospital mentioned here the "St Mary's Dispensary" seen in other articles. Anyone know? ... or willing to research? Maybe it might have been the "Heckford hospital" if the two had stuck around. Victuallers (talk) 16:36, 8 November 2016 (UTC)
 * No, The East London Hospital that the Heckfords ran wasn't the St. Mary's Dispensary. Anderson worked with them when she was still Elizabeth Garrett, in 1870. I'll clarify this later today in the entry, running out the door to vote right now.Penny Richards (talk) 16:41, 8 November 2016 (UTC)
 * Okay, Anderson's wikipedia article actually already mentions this--she was working at East London Hopsital, AND a private practice, AND the dispensary, AND serving on the London school board, simultaneously: "Also in that year [1870], she was made one of the visiting physicians of the East London Hospital for Children, becoming the first woman in Britain to be appointed to a medical post,[30] but she found the duties of these two positions to be incompatible with her principal work in her private practice and the dispensary, as well as her role as a new mother, so she resigned from these posts by 1873."Penny Richards (talk) 20:48, 8 November 2016 (UTC)
