A woman in Wiltshire has delivered her Granddaughter's baby. This might not seem so remarkable initially - but the lady was 90, had been a midwife before retirement and had not delivered a baby since 1954. And she's had two hip replacements. The on-call midwife couldn't reach her granddaughter in time, and she knew it was time so she just got on with it on the kitchen table.
It just goes to show - we never lose the skills we learn, and we never know when something may come in handy that we've done in the past. I could waffle on about Benner's application of the Dreyfus skill acquisition model right now but I'll leave that for another post - well done Mrs Jones!
