 * ... that the hospital run by Dr. Alice Hutchison had the lowest rate of deaths from typhoid amongst Belgian refugees after the outbreak of the First World War? Source: "the mortality of her patients from typhoid was lower than that in any manrun hospital"

 * I don't quite agree that the statement that she was the "one of the first" requires a source as it's hedging already. Sadly, no source says that directly, all of them imply. There's already a source that says she was the first woman doctor sent to France, which in turn, she became the head of a unit. Very few women had been doctors in war-time before the first world war, let alone the head of a hospital. It's very likely she was the first woman doctor to ever lead a hospital unit in war, but because there's no source, I switched it to "one of the first".
