Hazel, a shy and sensitive individual, harbored a deep desire to pursue a career as an artist or singer. However, at the age of eighteen, she embarked on a transformative journey that would shape her future. Determined to escape from a challenging home life and gain independence, Hazel enrolled in registered nurse training at King's College Hospital in London. Her training encompassed various disciplines, including midwifery, tropical diseases, and cardiothoracic nursing. Despite her newfound profession, Hazel's love for art and music remained unwavering. She found solace in singing to the dying, creating Christmas decorations for the wards, and transforming her room in the nurses' home into a miniature art studio.
As her nursing career progressed, Hazel's experiences took her to various corners of the world. In 1977, she made the decision to emigrate to Australia, where she continued to work as a nurse. Her journey took her from nursing leprosy patients at the Hospital for Tropical Diseases in London to suturing wounds on Heron Island in Queensland. Through her candid stories, Hazel vividly captured the triumphs, tragedies, and hilarity that unfolded within the confines of the hospital. She also delved into the profound human connections that formed between nurses and patients, highlighting the profound impact that healthcare professionals can have on the lives of those they care for.

Her stories resonated with readers, reminding them of the importance of healthcare professionals and the impact they can have on the lives of those they serve.
