Re: Call the Midwife thread.I spent six weeks in Sevenoaks Hospital at about the time this series is set (Gangrene on ankle / lower leg after being scalded by an exploding Scout Billy Can in Austria!!) and I remember how the Nurses had to have the ward absolutely squared up and tidied for when Matron came round every morning.
The Patients had to either be in their bed or sitting in army fashion beside the bed !! Richard New Member? Get more from the Forum and join in 'Members Chat' - you're very welcome
Re: Call the Midwife thread.Shame I can't watch this programme, I loved the last series. They brought out the rule in September that a licence is needed to watch BBC iplayer, and I don't have one.
Sorry, a bit off topic, but I keep seeing this phrase cropping up, 'on so many levels'. What does it mean? Please put me out of my misery, as it doesn't make sense to me.
Ilona Re: Call the Midwife thread.When I was admitted for surgery in the early 1960's, we had quite a fierce state enrolled nurse on the female surgical ward and I was told in no uncertain terms to remove a few items from the top of my locker. We were woke up at six am, and given a bowl and told to have a wash.
Once over surgery, I started work at the same hospital. The sisters had a separate table in the dining hall, we were all most impressed by them, and Matron only acknowledged her own secretary. She was so very smart, and ruled the nurses with a rod of iron. Discipline was the key. The ward maids cleaned the brass knobs and plates on the ward doors several times a day. I realise that the above relates to my first hospital employment, a far cry from the twenty first century.
Re: Call the Midwife thread.I trained 1972, things still very strict on the wards then. Still had a matron, sisters had there own dining room and sitting room. Doctors, well consultants were still Gods and everything stopped for their ward rounds.
I was so proud of my uniform from the first day I started training. No plastic aprons then just nice crisp starched aprons, gosh I could go on. What I will say is that my hospital buckle and badge are two of my prized possessions. Re: Call the Midwife thread.Hi Meanqueen, when I said 'on so many levels' I mean you can just enjoy the programme for it's fashion/music etc and not involve yourself too deeply but there's always an underlying issue which makes you think a bit more and realize how far we've come in terms of medical care and knowledge!
