How times have changed, particularly in medicine and the professions. I had hopes that things would improve – as that was the general direction a few decades ago – but whilst there has been some incredible progress, I’m not that sure it’s across the board and in some ways we have gone backwards. Let’s hope some lessons will be learned.

Best wishes.

I have enjoyed reading this and it was very imformative. My parents were born 1920/1921 and they were if the same opinions on life as your grandmother. Something similar although different happened to my sister when she was a baby and again my parents wouldn’t hear if any blame attached to doctors. I am the youngest of 7 children and times changed from when my eldest sibling was born 14 years previous to me to my birth. I often wonder what life was like for my parents and my siblings. Especially pre nhs. Thankyou again for the insight into your younger years
