SURGEON REMEMBERED
AFTER TWENTY-FIVE YEARS. Twenty-five years ago a youth of 18 walked into the London Hospital and showed a surgeon a mole covering one eye and the whole of one side of his face. The surgeon removed the mole, grafting new skin in its place. He never saw his patient again until a few weeks ago, when the surgeon—now one of the hospital’s most famous men—went to Victoria Station and watched an Australian Coronation contingent leave for home.
Suddenly one of the men stepped up to him and shook him by the hand. He was the man on whom he had operated 25 years before.
