Items related to Was it Something I Said?
This is a fascinating thought provoking account of success courage and achievement. Alan Lettin spent his 1930s boyhood in his parents corner shop in Leytonstone, East London. He describes the wonderful cast of characters, travelling salesmen, customers and neighbours with whom he came into contact. He goes on to describe the impact of World War Two, the blitz VI doodlebugs and the V2 rockets which led to his evacuation on four occasions and fragmented schooling. His account of surgical training half a century ago will be a surprise to many. but undoubtedly led to a successful surgical career. The chapters in which he recounts the changes and events which took place during his association with the organisations with which he was involved are interesting and informative. His career spanned the first fifty years of the NHS and he describes the changes which have taken place as he personally saw them, with characteristic cogency and honesty. Alan Lettin was never reluctant to express his views. Was It Something I Said recognises tbat they were not always appreciated. The book is essential reading for those interested in matters medical and for those who simply enjoy a revealing and frank memoir well told.
