Steel Needles and Canadian Nurses

I got tremendous care. Sometimes I think that we forget about, when we’re talking Army, Air, and Sea, that we forget about the support people that are supporting looking after the sharp end and we were very fortunate to have a fine medical system. They had steel needles and they weren’t throw away. They were reusable and what we used to have to do is take an emery and sharpen them. So they could use them and we’d do little jobs around.The doctors were dedicated. The nursing sisters were dedicated and really good medicine for a person that’s been away from Canada for some years and all of a sudden something happens to you and you all of a sudden you find that there are Canadians looking after you. I think probably the best medicine of the whole lot was the nursing sisters. I mean they just, they were just to see a Canadian girl. You’ve been away for a couple of years, you know. And it was just nice to hear that Canadian voice and that Canadian girl. So, I think they were the best medicine.
