Carol Bissett started nursing at 17 in the late 1960's, finally retiring in 2014. During those years she had some breaks, emergency stops and did a few three-point turns.

This window into her world shows the way, we have over the years, treated both nurses and patients. How we view sickness and death, and the ways in which we deal with both.

Sad in parts but written with Carol's irreverent sense of humour, which brings the saying 'life goes on' very much to mind.
