Nurses Three: A Very Special Girl
Nurses Three: A Very Special Girl
A Tracy Scott Story
Blond, blue-eyed Tracy Scott gazed up at young Dr. Hardwick and smiled wistfully. He cared for her, and the knowledge made her ecstatic one moment, panicky the next. She had not expected to find romance on this assignment—but then, almost everything at the Indian Service Hospital had come as a surprise.
It was a completely different world, with people and ways of life she had never known, strange customs and beliefs. She found patients who desperately needed her help in many ways—patients who inspired her to be the best nurse possible.
There were obstacles, and not the least of them was her moody, wildly jealous roommate. It was a trying year for Tracy and an exciting one. In the course of it she found new warmth and understanding within herself—and those around her felt lucky in knowing a very special girl.
The very special girl was eventually fired, however, for:

So…where on earth do you keep finding these?! I keep thinking that you’ve found the last of the nurse books, then, you surprise me with another doozy. And…wow…this one’s a doozy.

My personal favorite things about this cover are:
1.) Her apparently-15-inch waist. I’ve seen 7th grade boys whose necks are thicker than that waist. If she bent over to pick something up, she’d snap in half.
2.) The cap that is either:
a: floating in the air behind her head, like a nursely halo
b: mounted on the pink wall at her rear
3.) Her stiff coiffure that looks as if it was combed with a garden rake. Reminds me of the hair that used to pop out of the mold –perfectly shaped but looking like a helmet– in the old Play-Doh Fuzzy Pumper Barber Shop. (By the way: Am I the only person who thinks that the new Fuzzy Pumper set looks lame?)

“Thank you, kind Hopi girl, for giving me the lovely kachina doll it took your grandfather a year to painstakingly create. Have a candy cane.” Typical.
I think Nurse Tracy Scott was fired because she used her unusually sharp fingernails as hypodermic needles and as lancets to drain wounds.
And, yes, Jenny: I agree. Why in the world did they ever mess with the old fuzzy-pumper design?! It’s not like the extra holes in the heads were a safety hazard. Leave well enough alone, Play-doh people. LEAVE WELL ENOUGH ALONE! (But what do you expect from people who spell “dough” like Homer Simpson?)

I’m SOOO with you on the Play-Doh® Fuzzy-Pumper Barber Shop Issue. I received the original, oh so many years ago, as the present I opened on Christmas Eve. Thus, when we couldn’t sleep that exciting night, we opened it up and played with it. I guess it WAS a little noisy… The Zombie of my Father came down to stop us.
The same thing happened another year when one of us received Operation®. They NEVER learned and made sure we always opened the pajamas.
