I've just come across this site and felt compelled to write.
I was an in patient in or around 1957 as a three year old undergoing what must have been significant surgery (I still have the scars :) )
I still have a memento of my time at QMH a Baby's own Annual from 1957, inscribed "Jonathan Pyke for being such a brave boy" one vivid memory is calling a Dr. A Rat for injecting me!
