Isabel Senatori from Washington State U.S.A.. Posted 13 Feb 2004.
I was in training at Glasgow Royal Infirmary, 2nd year, night duty. When the sirens sounded,myself and another nurse was responsible for removing the enamel wash basins from the bedside stand and placing them on each of the patients head.The surgeon informed us it would be a more difficult job to remove enamel from a patients scull than shrapnel (no stainless steel in those days) With a cup of tea and some laughter, patients and staff in the middle of the night managed to get through that difficult time. not so Clydeside! It was quite a picture to see 30 male patients all sitting up in bed, cup of tea in hand plus their protective head gear.
