This story was sad as Judith died from a brain tumour that blinded her but was not saved as the meds did not work. Nurse on Call is a deep passionate, gripping true story of looking after a ward working part-time. She served many patients with injections and other dealings in the hospital.
"Nurse on Call" is a memoir by Edith Cotterill detailing her experiences as a district nurse in England in the 1950s. The book begins with Cotterill's childhood and her first job in nursing and then focuses on her return to work after the birth of her two daughters.
Throughout the memoir, Cotterill shares various anecdotes from her nursing career, including:
- Ridding ageing spinsters of flea infestations
- Administering penicillin and enemas to patients
- Dealing with awkward surgeons and intimidating matrons.
