ABSTRACT
Arthur Taylor, the member for Lincoln, approached the present writer and asked him if his brother would accept a knighthood. On receiving the required assurance, he drew up a memorandum of the Surgeon’s career for submission to the Prime Minister. In 1931 the Hospital began to add to its medical personnel. The number of patients attending the Out-patient Department had increased so greatly that the Executive Committee decided to appoint a second Visiting Physician. The atmosphere of a hospital is created much more by the nursing sisters than by the surgeons and it was fortunate that in these early years when the Society was trying to build up a fund of good-will the relations between nurses and patients were so cordial. On returning home patients became the most effective propagandists for the Hospital and many of them continued to write to their ward-sisters for years.
