Emergency Medicine Consultant And Trauma Team Lead Dr Anthony Taylor can be seen leading his team of NHS doctor’s in a desperate bid to save his face.Viewers reacting to the gruesome scenes, as surgeons begin operating on his badly damaged eye.“How amazing is our NHS, watching with my hands over my eyes..xx,” said one viewer.A second agreed: “Watching #999CriticalCondition and I’m just in awe of the amazing surgeon’s.

That’s when I have removed my hands to see the injuries.”“Watching things like #999CriticalCondition just shows how amazing our NHS is,’ added a third, while a fourth said: “Crikey this face surgery is gruesome....But staggering skill by the surgical team.”Recalling the harrowing situation, Simon told the Daily Star: "I don't actually remember the accident itself."But things have been pieced together to a certain degree for me.
