    and how the staff and patients dealt with the virus.

    There was a very moving ending when an elderly ex- community nurse called Nancy who was admitted with a 50:50 chance of survival from Covid laryngitis was leaving after recovery. Listen to her words of thanks to the staff at 54 mins in about her time in the NHS. She appeared first in the programme at 28.52 mins.

    88 year old Peter at the start also survived. He had breathing difficulties and co-morbidities. His chances were also poor but he recovered.

    Trust all of the Tories in the HoC who were cheering when the Bill to increase nurses' pay was lost were watching and learning some facts.
