During 1960, I suffered a fractured skull whilst staying with my parents at the Four Seas hotel in Kowloon.
Whilst I remember nothing about the incident itself, my first awakening memory is being transferred by Army ambulance to Hong Kong Island, presumably after I was stablised in a hospital in Kowloon.
My next recollection is waking up in a hospital. The memories have been blurred by both the incident and the passage of time, but I do recall a spectacular view over the harbour, similar to the hospital scene in the film 'Love is a many-splendored thing' (I understand that wasn't a real hospital). I also recall cots containing babies, which makes me wonder if I was in a maternity hospital, although I would have been 7 years old at the time.
Does anyone know which hospital this suggests?
re: Which hospital?
That sounds like the British Military Hospital up on Bowen Road. The building is still there, though it's no longer a hospital.

David,
Just to say thank you for the information.
Your suggestion neatly fits the scenario during that period.
A pity that stunning harbour view has now been lost forever.
Regards, Tim.
