Shadows of the Workhouse (Call the Midwife)

by Jennifer Worth

Life turns on little things. The momentous events in history can leave us untouched, while small events may shape our destinies.

I disagree wholly with the notion that there is no point in staying with an unconscious patient because he or she does not know you are there. I am perfectly certain, through years of experience and observation, that unconsciousness, as we define it, is not a state of unknowing. Rather, it is a state of knowing and understanding on a different level that is beyond our immediate experience.
