Frank Gardner talks to Dr Stuart Butchart

In this first of three programmes, Frank Gardner explores how one copes with a life-changing injury and begins by talking to Dr Stuart Butchart, who gave Frank hope.

In 2004 , the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ's Security Correspondent Frank Gardner was shot several times by terrorists while reporting in Saudi Arabia, some of those bullets hit the core of his body and damaged his spinal nerve which means that he can no longer use his legs and is in a wheelchair for the rest of his life. This was for him a catastrophic life changing injury. But while he was in hospital he received an email from someone who too had been shot in the back and said- 'I've got some advice and tips on how to cope'. In this first of three programmes for the series 'One to One' Frank Gardner explores how one copes with a life changing injury and begins by talking to Dr Stuart Butchart who gave Frank hope.
