In this article, I discuss F. Nightingale's thoughts on what to do for the sick by examining her "Notes on Nursing." F. Nightingale begins her thoughts from the definitions of disease, and her consideration of the sick person is based on these definitions. The first definition is "all disease is a reparative process by Nature," the second that "diseases are conditions." The first shows that the relationship between the sick and people in charge of care for them is equal and complementary, since imposed on both of them is the same duty to obey Nature in healing the sick. The second shows that all in a society have an interest in the conditions causing disease. In conclusion, it is clear that that F. Nightingale's consideration of the sick person is "a look not isolating a sick person."
