This legend was the most popular of the twentieth century, also known as "The Visiting Nurse" evokes many mysterious stories that occurred in the Juarez Hospital, Medical Center, as well as clinics and health centers in Mexico City and surrounding.

One version of how the events that gave rise to the legend, a nurse named Eulalia joined the staff of a civil hospital, and quickly won the sympathy and affection of the medical and administrative staff.

The young nurse was handsome, and wore his clothes always immaculate whiteness, and well starched and ironed.

It was given to his vocation by caring for patients, once called the Director of the hospital staff because it would introduce a new physician income, but yet she did not attend the call because he was attending to a patient.

The doctor newcomer named Joaquin, I was young and recently graduated, and after a short time in hospital was rumored to be proud and conceited. One day was given to the nurse Eulalia to the aid of Dr. Joaquin, who was to remove a bullet that came to an emergency patient.

They say that Eulalia was shocked to know Dr. Joachim, and after collaborating with said doctor kept talking about his eyes and how handsome he was. Although many people advised him not enamored of the physician, before long they got engaged, although the relationship was not fair: she gave all her love and he was boastful, and flirted with other nurses.

It took months and even over a year, and Dr. Joaquin told him to marry. She was very excited and began to delude with the wedding.

One day he asked her to keep a dress suit he was to go to an elegant reception the next day. She agreed, and so the other day visited her house, where the finish was changed and talked for a while.

Eulalia said he had forgotten to mention that the next morning was going to leave early because he had a conference trip north of the country that lasted 15 days.

A nurse Eulalia was surprised a little that she had not mentioned anything about the trip Joaquin before, but wished him bon voyage and took leave of him.

A week later, she already missed a lot, and a hospital nurse spoke to her and confessed that she was keen to accompany him to a party, but she said she could not do it because he was committed to Dr. Joaquin to which he replied that how they would be committed if he had just married and was on his honeymoon, he had also quit her job and leaving town.

The nurse Eulalia could not avoid falling into a deep depression over the deception which had been the victim. They say comes late for work, neglected some patients, and still others mention that he came to die for their neglect.

Time passed, and she fell into bed for an illness that led her to the grave, in the same hospital where she worked.

After a while, strange things began to happen, as one morning a patient who had severe dawned fine, and told the nurse:

-Thanks for the cities, the medicine he gave me I improved a lot.

However, the nurse had not gone in the morning.

On another occasion, a patient also mentioned that a nurse dressed in starched clothes had gone well during the night to give him some pills.

They began to be common stories of ghostly visits the nurse who called since then "The Pressed". Hospital staff became familiar with the appearances of Eulalia, who in the evening circulating through the halls, walked into the room, and no doubt was to assist in any of the surgeries.

Today still continues to be heard from time to time someone says on a visit to the nurse, with her long dress, white and perfectly starched and this has not been alone in the Juarez Hospital, but in other hospitals of Mexico City .

In conclusion to my believe that this nurse is appearing, should it be true, to fulfill their sick to care for your soul maybe feel any guilt for the patients who died or left neglected and that is why she does not rest in peace.
