A phone call, a pushbike, and a very sick child: Mildmay in the Blitz

In June 1943, Peter Jones had been a qualified doctor for one day when his phone rang. An old friend needed a locum at Mildmay - immediately. Peter got on his pushbike and cycled through the City. By that evening, he was in sole charge of a critically ill two-year-old in the pre-antibiotic era, working from a textbook, in a hospital surrounded by Blitz ruins.
