Everyone has awkward customers.
The ungrateful ones(it seemed) were few and far between...although the time/distance thing does lend a little distortion.....I do not remember being Effed and Jeffed at like I was towards the end of the nineties.
People seemed to know all of their rights but none of the responsibilities.

Death, well yes, it did happen....but far less on the gynae ward than on medical or surgical wards........far more humbling was the death of hope, when women lost babies time after time. Heart breaking.
