@Trailblazer at WCHArchives:  Partly done: Did #2 and #4. Did #3 without the third source, which does not mention MacDonald anywhere. Please clarify how her stint at the Children's Hospital fits in with her time at the Sanatorium and WCH before I do #1. Also, literally every source I have access to spells her name "MacDonald"; why aren't you capitalizing the D? —Compassionate727 ^(T·C) 15:21, 30 April 2021 (UTC)
