As FAR as I know all the major shipping companies had a nurse on their liners.
Some of them may have run to two, such as maybe Cunard.
On UCL one doc and one nurse, but the nurse was kept very busy after stops in ports such as Las Palmas.
The ladies who frequented Doris's bar were so generous with the gifts they gave to the lads.
See the queue outside her office about three days later.
