Meningitis early-ish 70's edit
Although I have very little memory of it, I spent a year in Joyce Green in isolation and for the most part in a coma with the only real memory of having the lumbar puncture and the abject pain involved with that horrendous procedure. In 1996 I had to take my youngest daughter back to Joyce Green's children ward for her being poorly and it was like a major timewarp, even recognising my isolation room.
Fast forward to 2001 living in a remote rural part in western England, my next door neighbour's mother came to visit her and myself being an ex nurse we got chatting and only turns out she was my primary care nurse all that time as a child at Joyce Green, I owed my very life to her and the hospital and the only downside is I was still infectious when I left Joyce Green and gave it to my poor suffering mother who herself was placed within Joyce Green.
Thought I would share that little snippet and such a shame the property lot got their hands on the place, these hospitals were paid for and built by the people for good reason, a small ward in some hospital can never replace the good Joyce Green did. 80.42.16.169 (talk) 13:49, 12 February 2023 (UTC)
