Summary

COI synopsis: This week Maggie Palmer visits Guy’s Hospital, London. Two hundred and fifty years old, Guy’s has a proud past and an even more famous future. In their new children’s wing, Maggie talks to Australian nurse, Judith Jameson, and finds out why empty beds, toy teddies and mums mean successful medicine.
