k me it gets him a lot of work…
the Ted Lowe of the Operating Theatre 
Shaun Dooley is documentary ASMR.
Southampton is local to me and it's reassuring to know I could get stuff lobbed out eventually rather local lol.
Mixed feelings on this week, smoker bloke clearly has never put a cigarette down in his life and I see this as being a public health warning type episode with him, 20 years ago with the way smoking has been curved I think the list for smokers in this position would had been exceptionally long and he would had never been treated.
For the young guy it is such a shame he was riddled with it but looks like he'll have extended life now.

He’s younger than me but looked in his 60s.
The young fella had to go through so much surgery in such a short time, 2 consecutive days, but great they removed the tumour which they found to have cancerous cells in - despite chemo.
I also had no idea that chemo drugs themselves are carcinogenic.
It’s amazing stuff and super skilled!
Lots of people moan about the NHS. What these (and many other) surgeons do it’s a bargain for their pay.
Pay them properly and keep them on the NHS. For 120-150k a year they are very cheap. When I look to people I know earning double or treble that doing a bit of “sales” for a corporate or bank I just think the priorities are wrong.

I'm back at Season 1, Episode 1 and gripped! Still struggling a bit with the narration - the chap on Grand Designs also triggers me so I know the problem is this end!
Having had a 'maverick' surgeon tackle a tumour for my wife when we were told surgery wasn't possible, the work these people do is incredible.

It truly is remarkable how they work. I say this every Series.
I wasn't aware of how toxic Chemo was either, but I guess what it does to the cancer that makes sense. I liked the way the treatment that lasts 90 minutes got treated like nuclear waste until the poor guy from some Outsourced handling company had it thrown through a hole in the wall in a postage bag LOL.

A fishing guide I fished with had just gone through chemo. He was the hardest guy I think I've ever met and he said exactly that. It feels as if they inject poison straight into you he said. He took the week off to go to Miami to have it, flew back Saturday and was guiding us on the Sunday. Needless to say we told him to stay home and substitute his apprentice.
I love watching this stuff. In the first series a patient had esophageal cancer and the mother-in-law has just been diagnosed so we know what to expect from surgery if she chooses it over chemo and radiotherapy.
Shaun Dooley is brilliant narrating this and he also does SAS:Who Dares Wins but his voice is more forced than when he is straight acting as in The Post Office Scandal recently.

That op on the poor lads back!!
It was just gore yet those amazing surgeons act as if they are getting out the alternator of an Alfa 156.
Tricky, involves moving the engine and undoing some wires yet all plain to see.
The use of that chisel
Then a few weeks later we see the fella walking to his appointment. No limp, looking completely normal yet he's missing vertebrae.
Just unbelievable.
It all makes sense when they show that coloured graphic of the human body but when they go in it just looks like a butchers shop.
It's taken me 40 odd years to be able to cleanly cut legs and wings off a roast chicken

The way they treat a spine with metal rods and metal fusion has fascinated me. Tiger Woods had his back fusion and won the masters!It was just gore yet those amazing surgeons act as if they are getting out the alternator of an Alfa 156.

Chiselling is somewhat teeth clenching!

I can stomach most things but I had to look away earlier when they removed his eye. croyde said:
The guy who needed his bladder removed was 83!
He looked far younger and fitter than the guy from last week with lung cancer who was 48.
That was probably why he had the operation, he'd have had to been fit enough to benefit from the surgery otherwise it'd just be palliative careHe looked far younger and fitter than the guy from last week with lung cancer who was 48.
