Great Nursing Disasters 
Comedy and Catastrophe on The Wards

It shouldn’t happen to a nurse -but it all too frequently does! The nurse who scrubbed an 'umbilicus’ and hung it up to dry… the nurse who induced a new mother to do the splits on her hospital bed… or what about the nurse whose every attempt to bandage her patient’s penis caused him to rise to the occasion? Even Florence Nightingale might have blushed. In this hilarious and evergreen miscellany of failed IUDs, emergency toothectomies and grisly practical jokes, the author might have evoked the true spirit of the phrase 'Keep Calm and Carry On’. Though there’s enough merry mayhem here to make anyone contemplating joining the Caring Profession think twice… This edition features cartoons by Larry.
