This week we are delving into the life of Scottish doctor Elsie Inglis, a woman for whom the word no simply didn't exist. From her origins in India to her work both in Scotland and on the continent Elsie deserves to be as well known as Florence Nightingale because, to be quite frank, her story is much more interesting... ...even if it takes a while to get into top gear. About 50 years to be precise. Guest Host: Ang from Dissecting Medical History<hr> Hosted on Acast.

Elsie Inglis - Improving Serbian-Scottish relations since 1914

The British Isles have thousands of years of history, so it's weird that all most people were taught at school was World War Two, how many wives Henry VIII had and that the Battle of Hastings took place in 1066 (always worth a try if you are trying to guess someones pin number). If you've always wanted to learn about all the bits between these events, but only if it can be done in a random and eclectic manner why not try Consistently Eccentric History? A podcast where each week you can listen in while I tell one of my friends a story about a lesser known person or event in British history, the weirder and less believable the better. With an archive of over 150 episodes you will never again be short a weird historical fact when trying to impress others.<hr> Hosted on Acast.
