Firefighter Ian's Story

Scottish firefighter, Ian McDonald had been with the fire service for 10 years. He was taking part in a training exercise in March 2014 when his hand was pierced by a high-pressure jet of hydraulic fluid.
He had 40 operations after the toxic liquid destroyed the tissue in his right hand but after a 4-year battle doctors were forced to amputate.
This film tells the story of how the amputation impacted Ian’s life and the part Digby Brown played to help with his recovery.
