Yesterday’s
answer:
C Her Grandfather
From
the life of Ellis Reynolds Shipp: Ellis
wasted no time preparing to return home to her family [after graduating from
medical school in Philadelphia]. Her first decision was to move into a separate
home with her children and set up the second floor of the home as an office and
a consulting room. She immediately had many obstetrical and gynecological
cases. She also came to be known as the best doctor to set and repair broken
bones. She told people that she learned more about setting bones from her old
grandfather than she ever did in medical school. Dr. Shipp soon set up her own
school of obstetrics and gynecology, and women came from the wards in Utah and
Idaho to learn from her. She also traveled in Canada and Mexico teaching women
in the Church. At times women had to bring their babies to class. Dr. Shipp
would often hold their babies so they could take notes while she lectured.
Ellis was known to have never turned away from a call for her service. Her fee
for prenatal and delivery care was $25.00, but only if they had it to pay. She
was often paid in eggs, garden produce, or even chickens. Included in the
maternity care were additional visits leading up to the birth, actual delivery,
bathing the mother and the newborn, and ten additional visits after delivery.
