a bit surprised.

And when we saw each other, this is like, you know, an incredible life circle moments.

We bonded, rebonded so quickly, and we were able to pick up where we left off, meaning I was his patient, and then now we are going to save another life.

We completed four series of missions with over 400 patients' lives saved.

We are trying to build a local system, training surgeons, perfusionists, nurses and overall cardiac teams.

Jim, you must be proud of MESFEN.

My final question is, how does it feel to help other people together?

It's a dream come true life.

Just working along with a surgeon who operated on me once, and now we're operating together, helping others is such a wonderful meaning.

You know, we're given somebody's child or hope.

And what strikes me sometimes when I see patients and tell them I had an open heart surgery just like theirs, that itself gives them a peace that they have a hope.

It's such an amazing privilege that we have to be together and to serve together.

I am just so beyond thankful.

Love hearing about that relationship.

Now to the US and a musician who got an amazing surprise after ordering a new amplifier for his guitar.

That's a TikTok video from Anthony Ferraro, a blind Paralympic athlete and content creator from New Jersey, unboxing the amp that had been sent to him by a firm in the UK.

Now, he'd ordered a regular piece of equipment from Victory Amps, but instead they chose to make what's thought to be the first ever amp with Braille on the buttons and dials.

Anthony spoke to my colleague Claire McDonald about that moment he first took it out of the box.

you've loved music all your life and you've been blind all your life.
