Young Love PRIVATE DIARY OF MARY ROBIN, R.N. "Love I Never Held!" Conclusion

...RN Mary Robin is torn between romance and her duty as a nurse, believing that the two are incompatible and she would have to decide between one of the other!
This story by writer Robert Kanigher and artist John Romita Sr from DC's Young Love #50 (1965) references her first day at County General...which we saw in DC's Young Love #39 (1963) by the same creative team!
So why is it that the "flashback" doesn't match the tale shown in the earlier issue?
Different doctor (whom we never saw before) and different situation!
The only thing I can think of is that the book's first editor, Larry Nadle, who began the series, was replaced by Jack Miller as of #44 and Miller either didn't keep Nadle's files and story notes, or didn't believe the audience would remember (or care) about the previous chapters.
