"Inside Out" by Patricia Toulson is published

About the Book:

Similar to Jenny Worth's "Call the Midwife", this book reveals a different, still hidden medical field, the world of x-rays. This story follows a shy, sixteen year old girl, as she attempts to become a professional radiographer from 1962 into the 1990's. All the incidents and cases are true, for they are Patricia Toulson's real-life memories. She is thrust into the harsh disciplinary world of a general hospital, ruled by barbed tongues of nursing Sisters' and ridiculed and harassed by experienced male staff. She experiences horror and tragedy, sadness and joy but also humour abounds in unexpected places. She encounters child abuse, infertility and teenage terminal illness, countered by the wonders of the healing body and the splendor and radiance of pregnancy.

Verified Purchase

"A well written and interesting account of life within a London NHS xray department. Interestingly it shows how different it was then with the emphasis clearly on patient care, not on targets! Really enjoyed the mix of social as well as hospital life. Would recommend as a good read."
