Nurse (Episode 90)

The Nurse worked in the hospital outpatients' department where Minnie Caldwell was taken by Ena Sharples and Martha Longhurst in October 1961 after a slate fell off the roof of 13 Coronation Street and hit her on the head.

The three ladies sat on the chairs in the waiting area with varying degrees of patience and impatience. They were still there when Leonard Swindley brought in Emily Nugent with a badly cut finger, demanding of the nurse that she be fast-tracked to the front of the queue. He succeeded and then he had to sit listening to Ena's insults while Emily was seen to. The nurse assured Ena that she would be seen next but the old lady was unimpressed, muttering that she was two-faced.

When it came to their turn, the nurse took Ena's arm to escort her in for her X-ray, thinking she was the one with the damaged head and thus earning herself a mouthful of admonition in the process.
