  "abstract": "When Harold Ellis became a doctor, he was afraid of catching polio. By the time he retired, HIV/AIDS was the big fear. Ellis qualified in July 1948, the same month the NHS was born. “I went away for a fortnight’s holiday, came back and it was now the National Health Service,” he said.
