An inspiration
A doctor at Blackpool Victoria Hospital says she was inspired to join the medical profession after her life was saved with a last-minute liver transplant as a tiny baby.
“Less than a month later I got a call and had a partial liver transplant, as the liver regenerates. It’s hard to believe it happened to me. I thank my donor for my life. It’s emotional and I can’t really put it into words. Doctors then gave her just a few months to live and told her tearful parents she would only survive with the help of a liver organ donor. Hannah said: “When my mum took me to my six-week check, the GP wasn’t happy with my colour and tests showed I had biliary atresia.
Incredibly, after a month of waiting, doctors revealed they had found a suitable donor organ for her. And following the successful operation, Hannah made a rapid recovery to the immense delight of her parents. “Everyone in the NHS has always been amazing in looking after me and my parents have talked so highly of all the clinicians. I couldn’t be a transplant surgeon, it’s not for me, but as an obstetrician there are surgical elements and it is very rewarding and challenging.
