I am grateful to all my family and friends who have offered unstinting support throughout my journey as a writer and whose love has sustained me during intense periods of writing during which time I am less sociable and more like a grizzly bear than usual (the difference may be marginal). In particular, I am thankful to my husband, James, who is always on hand to lend a patient ear and read my manuscript, to be encouraging and unfailingly positive which is one of the many reasons I love him.
I would also like to thank Doctor Alexandra Baker, Doctor Waleed and Mary El-Kinini, not only for their friendship but for offering very useful terminology and advice which I put to good use during the scenes in the Emergency Medicine Department of the fictional hospital. They, and many others like them, are shining examples of why I’m grateful to have such highly-skilled and compassionate people working for our shared National Health Service.
