Cottage hospitals: singing the praises of an unsung gem of the NHS.
You are not a mere case, or number, or symptom at Lynton Cottage Hospital in Devon. You are, in the words of Pauline Garnham, its matron, a "whole person'.

A wave here, a nod there: no chance of being inconspicuous in a world whose smallness is its endearing, not to say enduring, beauty.
