Just picked this up from the BBC website. A surgeon has performed an amputation of a 16 year old boys arm after he was caught up in crossfire between Government and rebel forces.
Although the surgeon had never performed such an operation before, he knew without the surgery the boy would die within a matter of days. He contacted a surgeon from London’s Royal Marsden Hospital who texted him step by step instructions. The surgeon, David Nott, commented, “I took a deep breath and followed the instructions to the letter. I knew exactly what my colleague meant becasue we had operated together many times.” A truely inspirational use of SMS! Gary
