I can remember our Doc having such a bag when I was a child. When I left nursing to have my children I was able to get quite a lot of medical equipment and my children grew up playing with real bandages and syringes (plastic by the 60's) but no needles. They had great fun. This story brought back so many memories for me. I can remember our Doc having such a bag when I was a child.

Those were the days when people had to be carefully nursed back to full health and not just filled full of antibiotics. I can still sense your disappointment at not being allowed to play with the treasures in that bag. Brothers - huh! I'm very glad to hear it was Susie they practised on!!! And as you say, used needles have a very different meaning today. My children had to make do with a Fisher-Price kit and a Nurses' outfit (made by Granny) and we added real bandages for fun. They spent endless happy hours playing 'hostible'. A fascinating story! Those were the days when people had to be carefully nursed back to full health and not just filled full of antibiotics.
