I remember the incident well. A man was admitted to hospital by one of the doctors, and we were all puzzled by the diagnosis written on the man's admission form with instructions for nursing staff. Three letters - GOK - were in the diagnosis section.
It certainly puzzled all the staff concerned and someone eventually phoned the admitting doctor who replied quite simply "God only knows."
It is one event that I have never forgotten. I wonder what the ramifications would be if a doctor sent someone to a public hospital in the year 2007 with such information.
In the 1960's Mount Gambier Hospital in South Australia was the training school for nurses. It was a requirement that 'student nurses' lived in the nurses home, and a strong bond was formed by the women who did their nursing training at that time. This site intends to reconnect the nurses from the Mount, and tell their stories.
