Great Quiz @Mi-Amigo 

Another tale. We had a patient who had a fear of white. We had to nurse her in a side ward with her own coloured bedlinen. Nurses no longer had white dresses so that was ok. However the plastic aprons, her mum bought blue plastic ones for the nurses who cared for her daughter. It was the first time I'd heard of the condition leukophobia

Thank you @Cleoriff 

Well done on getting a Silver Thinker.

Interesting story. It must be awful to have a fear of the colour white.

Wow everyone did so well on that WRQ, I feel bad for not at least making it a collection of thinkers.


Looking forward to the anniversary edition of WRQ today though, so thanks as always to Mi-Amigo for organising them.
