thank you, such a nice comment! and it's very kind of you to have trawled through all 3 parts :))
it was very interesting to me, reading the history of nursing, especially children's hospitals, and the individuals (such as Blackwell) or events like the strikes in the colonies that lead to such basic things as Nursing as taught and paid profession, and so recently! Shocking really.
i do think if the Victorians had had, say, the technology of the 30s or 1950s they would gladly gone down the routes of robotic rote-learning and mechanical child rearing etc, many sci-fi notions quickly rejected post WW2 would actually have appealed to them i think.
anyway, now i've made you read even MORE of my waffle! LOL! thanks again :)))
