ABSTRACT
Where are the Matrons, the Sisters, the Lady Almoners of yesteryear? When I was a student, we had a Matron like a galleon in full sail; and Matron was what we called her. Then things went to the bad with the Salmon reorganization. I just can’t get used to our present ‘Patient Services Manager’ – that’s what Matron’s have become – insisting on being called Ms Robinson, especially as he’s a man!
