Fruitcake, you could say that !

I do very little private cosmetic work, mainly breast reconstruction, head and neck cancer, skin cancer and trauma.

Anyway I don't want to hijack the thread with me wittering on about what the role of a plastic surgeon is.

Glad to hear you are OK

Also, very good of you to thank the NHS staff who helped you, we come in for an awful lot of stick and not much praise, so thank you.

Having worked at Castle Hill with Mr Hart and the rest of the plastic surgery nurses I know how good they truly are.

The thread also highlights the fact that plastic surgery is not just boobs and face lifts (we do actually save lives and limbs)

Get well and happy christmas
is that one for me or the op, or both??

the thing about mt hart that really humbled me was when the nurse who looked after my foot told me that he spends all his holiday abroad doing charity work for children with harelips and what not. he was a real gent, very reasuring, when in my deepest time of worry, he simply said 'dont worry lad, we will have you walking again'

the other thing about him that always made me smile was that he was a big bloke, red faced and looked all the world as if he was a farmer. he didnt have 'surgeons hands'!

good to see im not the only pher who has been through the doors of hri, castle hill and the westwood!
