The Beauty Of Small

She Who Must Be Obeyed has the ward to herself im pleased to report. She went into Glangwili hospital at 8:10pm last night (Monday 6th Sept) to begin being induced and although there is no word on the Her Majesty yet, we do at least have the privacy that only small hospitals are able to afford. Last night there was another expectant mother on the ward but now that she has gone into labour and moved to the labour ward, we have it to ourselves once again. (This also happened on our last visit.)
And grand it is too, we have space and the full attention from staff which is always a good thing. I would hate being stuffed into one of those large city hospitals where patients seem to be on top of one another and doctors and nurses are rushing around without even time for a friendly smile.
It all looks so cold and uncaring, the opposite of what a hospital ought to be. Staff in the bigger places seem to be doing their job purely for the sake of the job, whereas in small town hospitals they are there because they love it, and there because they actually care.
