Olga’s Strife

Ultimately caring for the dying and catastrophically injured ultimately wore on Olga. She apparently had several moments of acting out her stress which included breaking a window and having various rages. She was ultimately moved to an office position instead of directly caring for patients due to her nerves. She was even given arsenic injections in 1915, which were at the time not thought of as a poison but rather as a treatment for depression and anxiety. Olga was also apparently very aware of the goings on politically and the way her family was received by the Russian people. This caused her to be in a constant state of worry about what might happen to her family.
