And the person I was thinking about was, of course, Florence Nightingale.
As Silvia very well explains in her answer, "she was the forerunner of modern professional nursing. She put into practice her revolutionary ideas about nursing during the Crimean War, where she used to make nightly rounds with a lamp to attend to her patients in hospital". That is why she was called The Lady of the Lamp and The Angel of Crimea. Her method was so good that she reduced the hospital's death-rate by two-thirds!!!
Congratulations to Javier, Jaime and Silvia, who were the first three students to give me the correct answer.
