Call the midwife

One of my daughters gave birth to her two at Queen Charlotte’s. Had a lovely spacious sunny room/suite with space for husband to sleep too!
She was only in there for a few hours though.

I love watching Call the midwife on Sunday's, it's a nice gentle drama , I get weepy especially when a baby is born , but,, I can't stand Dr Turners face expressions , the same soppy , grinning face for every occasion ,
I love seeing the big coach built prams being pushed about by "extras". They were proper prams ,

Hey, lay off Dr Turner, he's lovely, soppy, but lovely, along with wife Sheila!!!

And a very good concerned GP; we'd all like one like him!

Yes please, Dr Turner listens not greets with a hello and reaches for the scrip pad.

Oh, we used to have a family GP just like him (but with the extra bonus of a lovely Irish lilt). He knew us all and seemed genuinely to care about us. Sadly retired. DH and I are still with the same surgery, but never get the same doctor twice now.

Yes, those were the days when the GP knew you, although I must admit DH and I have both had very good treatment recently.

We're the same Maggiemaybe! When my granny was terminally ill at our home way back in 1954, our doctor visited everyday even Sundays, until she died, sometimes after surgery in the evening, anytime really. He was a lovely man and gave her so much comfort, and, along with a wonderful anglican priest, saw her her out of this world with the minimum of anxiety and pain. Call the Midwife so reminds me of those days, yes you died of complaints that today you don't, but care was certainly in caring, which is sadly sometimes a little lacking these days!

When our first daughter was born we had moved away. First visit to my parents with our baby and I took her to see the family GP, she was the fourth generation of the family to be seen by him . He took on a partner and this doctor became the family GP to treat four generations of my family, from my parents, to my grandchildren .

That was awful. I am in bits. It was so real. Poor Tom

Watching Take the Midwife tonight and it never fails to bring tears to my eyes
Proper Sunday night telly

Oh weep weep weep...that was so emotional..Barbara dying, the young boy in prison, really sad...

Oh, how could they?

Can the BBC only afford one medical adviser? After sepsis on CtM and the Archers, we now have scabies on CtM and daytime TV's Doctors

So sad

Cutbacks, grumppa. I wonder who they've got lined up for scabies on The Archers?

How cruel , poor Phyllis , I wanted to hold her ?

Could tonight's sad episode pave the way for Tom and Trixie to be reacquainted in the next series?

I love that idea Lindylou51

So sad.

I wondered about that, Lindy.

Lindy my DD said exactly that that last week when Barbara was first taken ill. Tonight, as she rallied, and Tom talked to her about starting a family, I began to think she would recover but be told she’d never have children. But what a cruel false dawn that turned out to be. I was in pieces when Phyllis took over from Tom with the 23rd Psalm ???

So was I.
So sad. ??

??

Yes, very sad. Two people with tears here.
