Z 4rouncl the C ' I loch — Ve evening JOuty And so, in spite of all that’s hard, In spite of tired feet, There’s something in this busy life - A something that is sweet; And if I had my choice again, I still would be a nurse, And take the cap and apron still For better or for worse. oOay JL$ut ) God bless my hands. That is the prayer I pray At the beginning of each working day, For they will need both tenderness and skill, Firm strength for action, patience to be still. Today, perhaps, there’ll come a chance to be A friend in need to someone near to me; Oh, we should ask it often, ask it much, That God will bless our fingers with His touch! y fight 3 utif Halls deep in darkness, save for one dim red light Far at the end, and here and there The shadowed gleam of night lights burning low Serene in sleep some patients rest, and others wait While light in hand the night nurse makes her rounds, Starched skirts rustling softly as she passes. No sound in the stillness save this, and her light tread, And the whisper of breathing in sleep. But here a laboured sigh from pain-pinched lips Attracts the flashlight beam, and pause is given For comfort’s sake.-“I cannot sleep,” Another whispers, hand outstretched, kind reassur¬ ance seeking, “I cannot sleep, but now you’re here, “I know you’ll help me, nurse,- “I know you’ll help me, nurse,”- Their faith, their joy on seeing her, Rest in her heart through lonely, watching hours While she is trusted keeper, steward o f life and health- Rest in her heart, and fill it, till it must find words to pray, “Dear God, they trust me so, — For Thy Son’s sake Let no need find me wanting, nor my courage over¬ take.” 58

The whole thing started one bright sunny day When the change list read, R. Beattie — D.K. I jumped high with joy, I was so excited ’Cause cooking’s the art in which I delighted, In the following days I learned a great deal About how to measure and weigh out a meal. Salads, desserts, and beverages too Were part of the chores that we had to do. How bewildering it was and frustrating too Especially with temperature—102! So when I am old and feeble and gray My grandchildren will hear of the great D.K. They’ll think me a hero for standing the heat While making up fruitplates and scorching the meat. Now let me explain here once and for all There were days in the place when we had a ball. The cheese really is good that’s bought for the Grace And also the milkshakes that fatten your face. This phase of my training I’ll always recall And maybe look back and smile on it all. o vt asidctlty C is for the Cars that knock people out And break a few bones without a doubt. A is for Aid, which we render so . . . well We hope at least it makes them feel swell. S is for Sutures, Suction and Such, Which doctors delight to use very much. U is for Unas paste, to legs slapped on; But did you ever try an injection through one? A is for Antedote, which some people need To neutralize the poison they were careless to heed. L is for Late, which most doctors are; Of course the nurses are always ‘right thar!’ T is for Tape, adhesive we mean; To hold pieces together where they should have been. Y is for YOU . . . you’ll love it here, If you come to Casualty in the next year! hctvvnctcy A dinner invitation had been sent to the newly- settled physician. In reply the hostess received an absolutely illegible letter. “If I were you,” suggested the husband, “I should take it to the druggist. Drug¬ gists can always read doctors’ writing.” The druggist looked at the slip of paper, went into the dispensary, returned in a few moments, laid down a bottle. “There you are, madam, that will be 75 cents.” 57
