Margaret, I owe you a sincere apology,today I had a pint or two (at least) with the x chef at Accy Vic, (mentioned in an earlier post) and yes you were nearly right; the bloke that I classed as a male nurse was in fact a chap called Albert Waring,

As Aussie Irene mentioned, he was also the chap who did the plaster casts. so he must have been a general orderly come dogsbody or whatever.(no insult intended )

The casualty doctor at the time name of Armstong drove an old Rolls Royce,
superb doctor, registrar, (whatever he was known as) but absolutely no bedside manner.
