Description

Ex-SAS surgeon and author of "Winged Scalpel" Richard Villar describes the difficulties, dangers and occasional impossibility of providing medical aid to disaster areas and warzones, what it's like to land in Haiti in 2010 only 30 hours after the earthquake, how his age becomes an asset when dealing with tribal elders, and why he's in no rush to retire.

London Real is a video talk show that introduces you to the most fascinating people in the world. It is broadcast from studios in Shoreditch, East London to television and online platforms including London Live TV, YouTube and iTunes and is hosted by Brian Rose. Tired of being spoon-fed from the mainstream media, we’ve set out to offer a fresh, unscripted and unedited look into the world of real people. From activists to scientists, authors to fighters, politicians to drug smugglers – we present their real stories, uncensored and uncut.
