Euryl Thomas, retired medical secretary

Extract from interview with Euryl Thomas, retired medical secretary for 18 years at Craig-y-nos hospital, now living in Abercrave:

Euryl was in Ward 1 with 26 beds in 1950
“While I was there four young women died in six months in Ward 1. I pestered Dr Williams to let me go home because I lived nearby in Abercrave. I promised to rest, so he let me go.”
