Tributes paid to ‘incredibly courageous’ surgeon Professor Sir Roy Calne
Dame Esther Rantzen has paid tribute to an “incredibly courageous” surgeon who performed the first liver transplant in Europe.
The former journalist said Professor Sir Roy , who died on Saturday aged 93, encouraged the mother of a two-year-old boy who had weeks to live unless he found a donor to get in touch with her to ask for help.
