A Claire view

Article Abstract:

Claire Rayner is 66 years old and has written more than 90 books. She trained as a nurse at the Royal Northern Hospital in London, UK, and qualified in 1954. Rayner started to write for magazines in 1960, and was then asked to reply to readers' medical questions and problems. She then began to write books on a range of subjects, including marriage guidance, and she appears on television and radio. Rayner is concerned that nursing is losing touch with the patients, morale is low and she thinks the National Health Service is in crisis after the economic cuts which have been made.

Weir science: An imploding TV set was the beginning of a series of strange and unsettling experiences that led Natalie Thomason on a journey of discovery

Article Abstract:

A former nurse describes a series of strange and unsettling experiences that led her to end her career as a nurse due to the potential risk to patients. Her television set imploded, thermometers burst, a vacuum cleaner blew up and light-bulbs began to blow as she walked past. She later sought other people's accounts of strange experiences and found enough material to produce a book, Walking Through Walls, which won her the Sheaffer Award. She accepts there could be a scientific explanation for her experiences, but she continues to believe in the paranormal.

Meeting with a serial killer

Article Abstract:

Nurse, Christine Green, writes crime novels in her spare time. Green has written 10 books so far, all of which have been well received, and some of the experiences she has had in her 30 years of nursing have given her ideas for her novels. She has nursed a gangland killer, drug dealers and prostitutes. Green is critical of the previous government's attitude towards the National Health Service but has not put her feelings across in her novels.
