Description
The move from the old Royal Adelaide Hospital to the new Royal Adelaide Hospital in early September 2017 was a huge and complex undertaking involving thousands of staff, volunteers, patients, members of the SA Ambulance Service, and others. Not only was it logistically massive, it was an emotional experience for all concerned. The old RAH had played a significant role in South Australian history, and been a major part of many people's lives. Its closure brought forth memories and stories of the decades spent there, some of which are shared in this book. All of those who answered the call for stories and poems, and who wrote goodbye notes in the hospital's last days, hope you enjoy what is not only a remembrance of their experiences within the much-loved old RAH, but also a record of their excitement for the future at the new RAH, where the stories begin again.
