Incidents in the life of the Emergency Medical Services in wartime, based on material collected by a doctor
Produced by Stephen Potter
This programme, which is divided into four parts, tells the story of the ' doctors of the blitz' (medical men, nurses, ambulance drivers, stretcher bearers) from their inception through the earlier war days, through the arduous waiting period right down to the moment when they went into action with a will. The programme has been prepared in consultation with medical personnel who have been in the blitz since it started, and among those in the story listeners will hear are members of the mobile aid post which had to clear bomb damage in a well-known London dance restaurant.
