Working At The Victoria

A Memory of Woking.

I was ophthalmic house officer at St Peter's (Chertsey) and "Woking "Vic" in 1966. Miss Iris Kane was the Consultant. She worked hard and taught me a lot. I was based at St Peter's and each week had to drive to the "Vic" four times for pre-operative checks on the patients, the operating session, a post operative check and one clinic. The Hospital was small, but friendly. Towards the end of my job, my wife became pregnant; our first child was born just after I started a new job. The staff on the Children's Ward gave me a redundant rocking horse. I repainted the structure and bought a new head. Our firstborn, and subsequent children loved it. It is still in my house.

I remember Miss Kane whilst I was training at Woking Victoria Hospital in the 1970s
