Nightingale syndrome

Based off the "Nurse with the Lamp", Florence Nightingale was apparently an extremely adept nurse. While not technically a medical syndrome, Nightingale Syndrome is known to be used to describe the situation in which a patient falls in love with his/her medical caretaker due to the vague bond created when healed by a complete stranger.

Karyn fell for her surgeon, can you believe that? All he did was patch her up after a gunshot wound to the stomach. What a textbook case of Nightingale Syndrome.

Nightingale

The most annoying bird you will ever encounter ( especially when you are trying to sleep ). These little fuckers come out during the summer since it is their mating time. Around 12 every night and until 5 in the morning they like to scream in 40 different languages with their vocal cords on blast. They are the reason I failed all of my exams .

I didn’t get any sleep because the Nightingales were screeching next to my window.

nightingale bamford

An elite school for rich, white, upper class girls. It has a sterling reputation. However, on the inside of those big blue doors the girls are either drug addicts or heavy alcoholics. Some of them resort to making internet porn. The school however does a wonderful job at masking the true identity of the girls, and Nightingale is still standing strong on 92nd and Madison.

girl 1. "hey girl, dude last night we all got soo high"
girl 2. "thats soo chill I havn't gotten drunk or high on a school night in almost 4 days"
girl 1. "shit! how do you live? Are you making lots of internet porn to relive stress or something."
girl 2. "OMG how did you know?! did Jim tell you? or was it Sam? Or Lenny, or Michaiel"
girl 1. I just guessed that IS what Nightingale Bamford is about.
