"... looking into the inky water, she [Medusa] saw the ugly reflection of her pain. She seemed at times to frighten even herself."
I started my career as a Registered General Nurse in the NHS, primarily working in General Medicine. During this time I also worked with patients in the Intensive & Cardiac Care Units, Oncology, Haematology, Infectious diseases, Burns and Terminally ill care.
I then left to work in Psychiatry.
