Short description

The author tells of patients; old Mr Hickey who sharpens the blade of his cut-throat razor during the night watches; little Anne Marie whose aim in life was to be a dancer until, at nine years of age, she had her leg amputated. Young men in the orthopaedic ward enliven the strict discipline of the day. The dreaded ward sisters of those times live up to their reputation.

Extended description

The author tells of patients; old Mr Hickey who sharpens the blade of his cut-throat razor during the night watches; little Anne Marie whose aim in life was to be a dancer until, at nine years of age, she had her leg amputated. Young men in the orthopaedic ward enliven the strict discipline of the day. The dreaded ward sisters of those times live up to their reputation. Margaret moved on to district nursing in Aberdeen which reveals another Scotland in a different kind of nursing care. The author's sense of humour and deep compassion are evident throughout and we laugh and cry with her as she relates both tragic and comic tales which are so much part of human life.
