Karen James is Sister on the 14 bedded mixed sex Lithotriptor Unit at Withington Hospital in Manchester which admitted its first patients in July. As well as working in a very new field this is her first Sister's post. 'It's a very exciting unit - and quite a challenge to me', she says. South Manchester claims to be the first Health Authority to finance the installation of a 'second generation' lithotriptor machine -the Siemens Lithostar.
