“She said, ‘There’s nothing wrong with your chest, but there’s something odd further down.’
“My local NHS doctor, Daniel Dietch, insisted that I should follow up on the anomaly. On Friday last week, [surgeons] dealt with this obstruction, I hope to get out of the hospital this Friday. I have been blessed with this stroke of luck.”
Stanley went on to say he would be back on his feet soon, and was planning to head off to Tibet to look at glaciers with his son Max.
