"Birth of my sister & Myself"

About: Southend Hospital

(as the patient),

Was pleased to see there are still some NHS services at Wanstead Hospital, London E11 1PA, my sister was born on my 1st birthday at Wanstead Hospital & I was born there a year earlier in 1950! My 2 other sister's were born at Mile end Hospital London E1 & Thorpe Coombe Walthamstow, London E17.

I appeared on the Don't Ask Me programme in July 1975 on ITV asking Professor Magnus Pike what the odds were for 2 siblings to be born on the same day! He and his advisors did not know the answer & I found out 25 years later from a Professor of Mathematics that the odds are 133,225 to one (365x365) My sister did have a procedure at Wanstead Hospital just before it closed & I visited her there!

I have visited the Synagogue a couple of times & it is great that this is a listed building along with other buildings at the (former) Wanstead Hospital.

Last year I was in Southend University Hospital & the treatment was excellent & the food wasn't too bad either!
