Foreword
The medical profession demands an extraordinarily high degree of dedication-especially from a nurse, whose work schedule is often heavier than a doctor's but whose status and pay are far lower. A girl who wishes to become a nurse must forgo most of the social pleasure, her contemporaries are enjoying, yet she must avoid any emotional involvement with her patients.
Joan McKenzie was a beautifully endowed blonde of twenty-three who had worked to become a nurse since she was a little girl. She had renounced world pleasures; her convictions were strengthened by an unsuccessful affair in college. But Joan McKenzie was an emotional bomb.
A handsome fourteen-year-old patient set off that bomb and the nurse found herself swept along in the flood of feelings that ensued, soon moving from one patient to another, ministering physical love rather than pills and cold sympathy. Her situation became more desperate when a swinging intern discovers her activities.
In Nurse's Weakness, Jill Adrian shows a young woman compulsively driven by emotions she has held in check too long.
