During Christmas vacation in 1917, she visited her sister in Toronto. World War I had been raging and Earhart saw the returning wounded soldiers. After receiving training as a nurse's aide from the Red Cross, she began work with the Volunteer Aid Detachment at Spadina Military Hospital.Her duties included preparing food in the kitchen for patients with special diets and handing out prescribed medication in the hospital's dispensary.[23]
1918 Spanish flu pandemicWhen the 1918 Spanish flu pandemic reached Toronto, Earhart was engaged in arduous nursing duties including night shifts at the Spadina Military Hospital.[24][25] She became a patient herself, suffering from pneumonia and maxillary sinusitis.[24] She was hospitalized in early November 1918 owing to pneumonia and discharged in December 1918, about two months after the illness had started.[24] Her sinus-related symptoms were pain and pressure around one eye and copious mucus drainage via the nostrils and throat.[26] In the hospital, in the pre-antibiotic era, she had painful minor operations to wash out the affected maxillary sinus,[24][25][26] but these procedures were not successful and Earhart subsequently suffered from worsening headache attacks. Her convalescence lasted nearly a year, which she spent at her sister's home in Northampton, Massachusetts.[25] She passed the time by reading poetry, learning to play the banjo and studying mechanics.[24] Chronic sinusitis was to significantly affect Earhart's flying and activities in later life,[26] and sometimes even on the airfield she was forced to wear a bandage on her cheek to cover a small drainage tube.[27]Amelia Earhart was an American girl who graduated from Hyde Park High School in Chicago, Illinois in 1916, right in the middle of WWI. She went to visit a sister who was living in Toronto, Canada, saw the wounded Canadian soldiers who were returned from France, took a training course from the Red Cross, and worked for the rest of the war as a volunteer nurse's aide is Spadina Military Hospital in Toronto.
