Stent - An Unhealthy Story-book

Preface to Stent (First draft)
 
After a restless noisy night of patients struggling for breath, coughing, snoring and nocturnal perambulations her smiles and cheerful words early on the first morning were a better medicine than many.  
“Good morning how are you today?” The ward sister, in old fashioned terminology, says to each patient. 
“Lousy, a sleepless night as hospitals do not change.” I respond. She laughs and says.
“By the time you leave here you will be able to write a book!” 
A seed is sown. Cover drafted and first few pages written.
 
Little did sister know I am a writer ... or did she!
 
Douglas
