Pyrford Hospital

A Memory of Pyrford.

I well remember Rowley Bristow Hospital as I became a patient in Rudolf Ward (under Sister Morris of Byfleet) the day before I was due to sit my O levels in June 1956. Fortunately, I was allowed to sit them in hospital and each day I was wheeled into a small room, between the two rooms that made up Rudolf Ward, to take them. I spent some 5 weeks there and the experience made me realise how very fortunate I was insofar as I did not have to have an operation and lose any of my limbs as did some of the other patients. The patient care there was exceptional with  splendid nursing care under a matron who was a legend. Happy days!!
