Found this, sounds like something to do with operations and theatre. |

I've just found this in a 1941 school magazine - think it's a private boys' school in Minehead. |

Could be something to do with the war, think that Jeanette might have it, I wonder how i can persue this further, - its fasinating, and not what i expected from my grandmother at all - is there any records anywhere or anyone got any idea how i can find out more - thanks to eveyone Pat |

Perhaps she just did things like shaving the appropriate part of the patient's body ready for surgery. |

Just a thought, but could it have been anything to do with wounded soldiers during ww1? |

Maybe, but i still cannot get my head around that, during my childhood she was very poor, and i would have thought that that was quite a skill to have, so i think it must mean something else. - Ideas would be greatly received. Thanks |

Perhaps her skills outweighed her education |

I received the marriage cert of my grand parents, and found that my grandmother occuptation was a surgical dresser, they were married in 1915, but i was wondering what a surgical dresser was, as far as i know she was not that well educated and all the searches i have done for surgical dresser seem to go back to a assistanct of a surgon, which i find hard to beleive - Has anyone every heard of this or any other ideas Thanks Pat |
