FOR most people alive today, life without the benefits of the National Health Service can only be imagined.
It is hard enough to consider what it must have been like without antibiotics or even the contraceptive pill. To consider having your tonsils removed on a kitchen table would today be unthinkable. For a modern GP, having to cope with three home deliveries for pregnant mothers within the same day in addition to the turmoil of 50 other home visits, and without modern transport and communications, is most certainly the stuff of nightmares.
