Hospital Visits.

I am sure that there are not many people who will read this article who have not visited one of their family in hospital. At the present moment I happen to be someone who is visiting a close relative who had to suddenly go to hospital in an emergency .I am glad to say he is now on the mend thanks to the medical and nursing staff for whom I have great admiration.

Sometimes one feels that it is as bad for those at home worrying as it is for those in the hospital, especially coming back to an empty house in the evenings after an afternoon visit.

When I was young I joined the Navy as a VAD. The war was still on, though nearly over. I had always wanted to be a nurse. I thoroughly enjoyed myself and the nursing. I was stationed in a sick bay attached to a navel training establishment. Any serious cases were sent to the main navel hospital.

Here is a link to VAD information.

We are lucky to be living in the early twenty first century as medicine has made such terrific advances.
