A Cut Above

Guy Henry

Several months ago,

my young nephew met a man.

He met Dr Guy Henry.

Lucky!

Dr Guy Henry saved his life.

He cut my nephew open

– twice!

 

 

The second time,

he removed a chunk of cancer cells

from my nephew’s tiny body

 and then, carefully and neatly,

sewed him back together.

What an amazing job he has!

What an incredible thing he does!

Dr Guy Henry is a

specialist Paediatric Surgeon.

He’s been doing this

for over ten years.

I’ve never met Dr Guy Henry,

but I will always be grateful

for what he did…

and how well he did it.

My nephew’s scar is almost healed.

It’s almost perfectly straight.

 

Maybe, in a few years,

we might have trouble

even seeing the scar.

But, each time the sun shines

 the right way

and a glint of scar shines at me,

 I will send a quiet

“thank you”

to Dr Guy Henry.

Apparently, he loves

rugby and fishing –

but rarely has any luck

catching a fish.

I hope he catches

the biggest fish next time

 he drops a line in!
