Oh dear! I am about to show my age again. In about 1986 at an industrial
site I was asked to have a nurse on site 24/7 wearing the blue uniform and
frilly white hat. When I asked why they said because when there was an
accident it instilled confidence and the casualty felt reassured by the
uniform and hat - so I put a nurse on site but unfortunately he refused to
wear the blue dress and frilly white hat!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Has nothing changed in 16 years????????
