Doctor to treat those injured

The first doctor on the scene of the London terror attack rushed to help the injured, even though he wasn’t on duty.

Dr Jeeves Wijesuriya, a junior doctor, ran to the aid of those wounded in the attack on Westminster which killed four people.

At the scene outside Parliament, Dr. Wijesuriya performed emergency treatment on two of the injured. He also tried to save the life of the attacker. Fellow medic, surgeon Simon Fleming, praised his colleague on Twitter.

He said: ‘Chairman of the junior doctors committee doing his job as responder. Patients first. #Proud.’

NHS medics from St Thomas Hospital near the scene of the atrocities have been praised for running from the hospital to rush to help the wounded.
