Terry Baldwin from Merseyside
‘Over the last 50 years I have been
to hundreds of events and treated many casualties I was at
the launch of The Beatles’ Hard Day’s Night in Liverpool
where we saw what was probably the first ever example of ‘girl
hysteria’.
We set up a first aid post and when The Beatles appeared on the
balcony they just trampled over it! We were treating young
girls for hysteria for more than an hour.
I also remember one evening two little girls came round carrying
a goldfish bowl with the fish floating - both were in tears. 'Can
you do anything for our goldfish?’ I scooped it out of the
water, opened its gills and blew into its mouth. I put it
back into the water and it swam off! It lived for a couple of
months after that! The girls were made up and bought me a box of
chocolates.’
