Where magic meets medicine, Great Ormond Street has links to two renowned authors, but for very different reasons. We trace the history of the first dedicated children's hospital in the English speaking world, and find out how one little boy will have an impact on the hospital forever. Yet another 4 month old boy had a very different impact on the hospital and one particular treatment - we find out more on this week's episode. Plus, we meet Alex's dad, and find out more about his role as Gentleman Usher to the monarch and his role in the royal funeral recently. Visit https://www.ladieswholondon.com  Get in touch!
