Watching this Bonanza story sure makes one mindful how in the 21st century
we've come a long way in dealing with influenza. It's come to the Ponderosa
and Lorne Greene has a bunkhouse filled with sick cowhands. Not to mention
a lumber camp where they are also coming down with it and Dan Blocker and
Michael Landon keep dropping off wagon loads of sick help.
The story involves a conflict between Dr. Harry Holcombe and Louise Latham who does his nursing and Meg Foster over from Ireland who has different ideas about treating the sick. Ideas she learned from none other than Florence Nightingale. She cures those in her care at the ranch house which include Lorne Greene, Mitch Vogel, and Victor Sen Yung. Foster does the cooking while Hop Sing is ill.
Nice performances showing the conflict between the two women Latham and Foster. This is a good episode.
