Answer:
Camillus de Lellis, M.I., (25 May 1550 – 14 July 1614) was the Roman Catholic priest from Italy who founded Camillians, a religious order dedicated to the care of the sick. He was beatified by the Pope Benedict XIV in the year 1742, and canonized by him five years later in 1747. De Lellis is the patron saint of the sick, hospitals, nurses and the physicians. His assistance is invoked against gambling.
Camillus de Lellis was born in May 25, 1550, at Bucchianico (now in Abruzzo, then part of Kingdom of Naples). His mother, Camilla Compelli de Laureto, was very nearly fifty when she gave birth to him. His father was an officer in both Neapolitan and French royal armies and he was seldom home. De Lellis had his father's temper and, due to this mother's age and retiring nature, she felt unable to control him he grew up. She died in 1562. As the consequence he grew up neglected by family members who took him in after the death. Tall for his age, at the age thirteen he began to accompany his father from one military camp to the another. At sixteen De Lellis joined his father in Venetian army and fought in a war against the Turks.
