Nurses quarters- Sully hospital
Nurse Vivienne
Griffin did part of her training at Sully.
She contacted me today
on email with this story:
“I did my nurses
training in Cardiff Royal Infirmary, but we did our Pediatric training in Sully
Hospital. L.G. Davies was the Cardiologist at the time.
We used to prepare
the babies bottles in Black beards cupboard (I don't know who named it that)
When we were on the early shift we used feed the babies on the ward and as it
was January it was still dark. We would sit and watch the sun come up over the
horizon over the sea.
Sometimes, when we
were feeding the babies, L.G Davies would say 'right girls I've got 20 minutes
you can ask me anything you want' He would sit down and draw diagrams of the
heart and explain any abnormalities. We had a wonderful time there as we had to
live in at then this was in January 1970.
She adds:
“ I just have to
tell you Ann, I have many happy memories of Sully
And I reminisce with
my friend who was my school friend and we also did our training together. She
remembers more than me and recalls so much more than me! She is visually
impaired now, I so wish I could show her the old photos. I might try as
she has a strong magnifying glass.”
Well, Vivienne I do
hope you are able to show your friend the photos. Would you like to share them
with us too?
