Hazel is shy and sensitive and wants to be an artist or singer.
However, at age eighteen, she commences her registered nurse
training at King's College Hospital, London, to escape from a
difficult home life and become independent. Training in midwifery,
tropical diseases, and cardiothoracic nursing, her love of art and
music mingle with her nursing life, as she sings to the dying,
makes Christmas decorations for the wards, and turns her room in
the nurses' home into a miniature art studio. She emigrates to
Australia in 1977. From nursing leprosy patients at the Hospital
for Tropical Diseases, London, to suturing wounds on Heron Island,
Queensland, Hazel writes candid stories of triumph, tragedy and
hilarity, and expounds the close human connections that are formed
between nurse and patient.
