 * I added the location to the hook. It might enhance the article and the hook to note that this was the "Bedlam" hospital. Yoninah (talk) 18:47, 20 November 2016 (UTC)


 * Symbol confirmed.svg Article is new enough and long enough. Article is well referenced and neutral. Hook is correct length and correctly formatted. No pic to review. Tweaked hook to make clear she was the first female house physician, not necessarily the first female physician, although she may have been that too. No copyvios detected. I don't think a reference to Bedlam works in the hook but it could be added to the article if the nominator thinks it is relevant. Its good to go. Philafrenzy (talk) 00:26, 23 November 2016 (UTC)
