## History

Alfie was born in a military base in Germany a year before his parent's marriage, with his mom being 18 and his dad 21. he was born in 1990 prematurely at 27 weeks, suffering from multiple infections during his two month hospital stay after his birth (pneumonia, staff, sepsis). He went to school and grew up in York. Presumably as a result of his early birth and technology at the time, Alfie spent most of his childhood in and out of hospitals until he was a pre-teen. This is when he decided to be a nurse, as hospitals made him feel safe and nurses always made him feel like he belonged unlike the doctors. His dad did not approve of his choice of work, he would rather Alfie to be a doctor.

In episode 1, alfie mentions taking antidepressants. He also mentions a slam poetry phase.

1. ↑ " I was actually born in a military base in Germany so there’s that to bear in mind. My parents married young-ish. My mum was very young, just eighteen, and my dad was twenty-one. Mum had me a little less than a year before the wedding. I was an early baby, born at twenty-seven weeks, small enough to fit in my dad’s hand. This was 1990 so there was a very real chance I’d completely fucked being alive right from the beginning. I spent the first two months of my life in a plastic box. I got pneumonia and staph and even sepsis. I didn’t taste milk until I was six weeks old" To Die, or Not Quite Die
2. ↑ "I was a kid, I went to school in York, I grew up here" To Die, or Not Quite Die
3. ↑ "I spent a lot of time in and out of hospitals as a kid. I was always at the bottom of my percentiles, the littlest kid in my year even though I was one of the oldest. I was forever sick with flu and bronchitis, forever with some bone or other in a cast. By the time I’d hit my teens I stopped being so especially snappable and my immune system finally seemed to properly grow in, but I’ve always found hospitals to be these points of safety and refuge, and from as soon as I was old enough to start thinking about what I wanted to do for a job, I wanted to be a nurse" To Die, or Not Quite Die
4. ↑ "Doctors breezed in and out and spoke to my parents, not to me. Nurses made me feel like I was welcome, that I was safe, that I could own my body despite what was happening to it" To Die, or Not Quite Die
5. ↑ "My dad, when he was alive, he was always pushing for me to be a doctor, but I wasn’t interested" To Die, or Not Quite Die
