Anne Bolam takes us on a journey down memory lane recalling her life as a nurse in the 1960s. Initially training in Edinburgh, she was present at the first ever kidney transplant. She then joined the Royal Airforce Nursing Service and continued her career in Aden, Yemen, treating injured soldiers and prisoners of war. This book takes us from Edinburgh to Berkshire via Aden,with a number of anecdotal tales of nursing life in civilian and military conditions. A charming reminiscence which shows us how far the medical profession has come in the last sixty years, but at the same time demonstrating how important the nurses have been in the journey.
