The best medicine

Edwards, Georgie, 1927-2015
Large Print
In 1949, Staff Nurse Georgie Edwards is asked to chaperone medical students undertaking their practical exams, when suddenly the penny drops. Georgie wants to learn to diagnose and treat, too. Against the odds, she wins herself a place to study medicine at London's St Bartholomew's Hospital. Once there, she sets about becoming not a consultant who 'sweeps by', but a doctor who listens and cares. Yet Georgie wants to fall in love and start a family as well as have a career. Is this one dream too many for a woman in the 1950s?
