	Elsie Inglis - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Elsie Inglis (16 August 1864 – 26 November 1917) was an innovative Scottish doctor.
		She was appalled by the general standard of care and lack of specialisation in the needs of female patients, but was able to obtain a post at Elizabeth Garrett Anderson's pioneering New Hospital for Women in London, and then at the the Rotunda in Dublin, a leading maternity hospital.
		She was a consultant at Bruntsfield Hospital for women and children, and despite a disagreement between Inglis and the hospital management, the Hospice joined forces with them in 1910.

	Elsie Maud Inglis
		John Inglis, her father, had a brilliant career as an Indian civil servant, and her mother, Harriet Thompson, was the daughter of an Indian civilian, so, though she was Scottish by descent, all the early associations of Elsie Maud Inglis were of the Orient.
		The baby was named Elsie, and almost from the day of her birth she was a splendid little traveller, who accommodated herself to the trials of Indian camping and travelling life with the utmost ease.
		It was on the 29th November, 1917, that Elsie Inglis was buried in Edinburgh, amidst such marks of respect and recognition as make her passing stand alone in the history of the last rites of her fellow-citizens.

	Significant Scots - Dr Elsie Inglis
		It so happened that Elsie and her father had always been special friends; he was a large-hearted man, full of love for his numerous children, but partly from circumstances, and partly from natural sympathies, this youngest child but one—Elsie, the intelligent, the independent-minded—had become his chief companion.
		Elsie used to quote a case she knew, where a husband refused his consent to an operation, and thus left his wife to a lingering and suffering death.
		Elsie Inglis was thus leading the kind of life which was fitting her, unconsciously, to play a hard and heroic part in one of the greatest crises of the history of the world.

		To Elsie Inglis and some of her fellow-students this seemed to prejudice their liberty, and to frustrate an aim she always had in view, the recognition by the public of an equal footing on all grounds with men students.
		Elsie took the matter in hand herself, finding I was no use, and in one day had a regular supply of hot water, and baths for the big Magazine, where lay our sick, screened off with sheets, and regular baths were the order of the day from that time forth.
		Inglis had been at the station until the early hours of the morning, but nevertheless superintended everything that was being done both at the train and up at the hospital.

		Elsie Inglis was born on 16th August 1864 at Nynee Tal in India.
