Claire Rayner knows the problem with socialised medicine
There were certainly no computers and monitoring machines, however useful.
But what nurses had mattered even more — for these machines do their work without heart.
Heartless machines! She doesn't expand on the many problems with heartless machines, I imagine they are many though.
Furthermore the standard of Nurses is slipping!
She [Matron] interviewed every applicant — investigating her attitudes, morals, intelligence and performance at matriculation (yesterday's GCSEs and A-levels) without putting them before such qualities as patience and kindness. Now all a would-be student needs is the requisite A-levels for university.
I would like to put my hand up and say I would rather someone was trained to a high standard than was kind, kindness won't resuscitate me if I lose consciousness etc. etc.
Oh well
