    In this episode I welcome Diane, my sister-in-law, into the studio. She's a retired nurse and she chats about her days working in hospitals and a GP's surgery. The operating theatre, the wards, the matron, a nursing school, sticking needles in people, giving patients alcohol... Please, join me for a very interesting chat with Nurse Diane this coming Sunday.

Spot on!

I just stumbled across this podcast. As someone else posted, Ray brings back an air of simplicity to life. I turned 40 here in the US a few months ago and this pod is universal. I love it! Bless you Ray!
