Review "Nurse on call"

 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.

"1963 A slice of bread and jam (Review)

 

  

The end of this novel was sad, and I thought about those poor kids. I'm writing a review here of it and my impressions of it.

The story was heartwarming, and there were some doubts about the parents of the children.

"1963: A Slice of Bread and Jam" by Tommy Rhattigan is a powerful memoir that offers a raw and often humorous glimpse into the author's impoverished childhood in 1960s Manchester. The book, which has become a Sunday Times bestseller, chronicles a year in the life of seven-year-old Tommy as he navigates poverty, neglect, and daily struggles in the derelict houses of pre-Crescents Hulme.

Readers have praised the book for its ability to evoke strong emotions and create a sense of immersion in Tommy's world. Many who lived through similar circumstances in the 1960s found the scenarios relatable and nostalgic. The author's storytelling skills shine through as he manages to balance the grim realities of his childhood with moments of humour and warmth.
