END OF THE STORY.
KELVIN FINALLY CLOSED
NURSE GIBBONS' DECISION.
Nurse Gibbons has voluntarily closed Kelvin Maternity Hospital and returned the register and license to Dr. T. J. Hughes, the Medical Officer of Health. Not only has the matron closed the hospital, but she has announced her intention to take "a much-needed rest," anil abandon practice as a maternity nurse.
Writing to Dr. Hughes on July 3, Miss Gibbons said she would never again take obstetric cases, though she was abandoning the work with regret, for she had given the best years of her life to it, "to the exclusion of all private interests." However, she felt that she would suffer a final breakdown of health should she again take the risk of striking a bad case.
"If ever I re-enter the nursing world, it will certainly not be in the midwifery branch," added Miss Gibbons. "I am returning the register and license on Monday. I thank you and your staff for your unfailing fairness and kindness."
.Dr. Hughes stated to-day that Kelvin ha,d now ceased to be a private maternity hospital.
