I remember both of those people very fondly.
Sister Hayes was a charm to work for. ( she was night Sister on my first set of nights as a student....she said I had a lot of 'oil in my lamp'....I later learned that this meant she trusted me)
Mr Jacks...I was scared of.
He was lovely with patients, but I was a very junior student when I first met up with him....and was(at that time) in awe of consultants.
I have had my share of surgery... both major and minor, although I contend that there is no such thing as minor surgery, except when it is happening to someone else.
I have also had some quite scary procedures too...but no serious accidents(thankfully...and don't want any).
Taddy, you are allowed to be as cantankerous as you like...it is not illegal and in some instances might even add to your charm
