I don't own this space under my name. I should have leased it while I still could

SS, the German model allowed objectors to work in the health service. I believe when conscription ended there were worries that hospice would be short handed.

Mind you, having just been in hospital, I would not want someone on national service to look after me, even as a cleaner, if their heart was not in it.
