Private doctors perform ENT op on ‘jungle VIP’

The surgical team at The Grosvenor Hospital, Chester, swings into action

You can get almost any type of patient turning up in private practice these days – as consultant ENT surgeon Mr Jawed Tahery and anaesthetist Dr Paul Jamieson know only too well.

Happily, their Bornean orang­utan patient, Vicky, aged 31, is all smiles again after successfully undergoing double surgery for the first time in UK history.
