Henry Marsh: Self-less man who has given his intellect to helping the desperate

Henry Marsh is an inspiration, for a decade or so now, he has given his intellect and life to helping desperate sufferers of neurological diseases in the Ukraine. The documentary was called: The English Surgeon. We get an insight into how he works and how he economises, it's a very interesting reveal.

Igor Petrovich is his assistant, he is/was equally extraordinary, there was a scene where he was struggling to tell a 23 year old trendy young person that she will die from an inoperable brain tumour in 3 years, it was a powerful scene that has stayed with me. Igor clearly was feeling the pain. I really don't have the expressive powers to communicate how distressingly tense the consultation was, quite heart-rending.
