A brilliantly readable collection of nursing tales from a top London teaching hospital in the 1970s to District Nursing in the late 1970s and 1980s in a market town in Sussex. The book is full of social history from the 20th century based on recollections from elderly patients. There is a wealth of humour and a great deal of pathos in all of the tales. Characters are brought to life in vivid colour and you will be left wanting more.
