Most of us will never know what it's like to hold someone's life in our hands. Shehan Hettiaratchy has spent his career doing exactly that, responding to trauma in the UK, on warzone frontlines and in the aftermath of disasters.

In conversation with Sam Guglani, he discusses his memoir 'The Careful Surgeon', and shares the stories of patients who have impacted him as much as he has impacted them.

There will be a book signing after this event.
