I was seen by Mr. Lidder in an Emergency Red Cross Facility at a Tough Mudder event in Cirencester, where I dislocated my shoulder. Having been transported off the course into Mr. Lidder's care, I was immediately impressed by Mr. Lidder's expert medical knowledge of the many reduction methods for dislocated shoulders, his excellent bedside manner in discussing his approach with me, seeking input from me in determining the best reduction method for my particular situation and keeping me informed as he worked. The professionalism and effectiveness with which he organised his team and took decisions to progress the situation resulted in the successful reduction of my shoulder without the need for a transfer to hospital. I am very grateful that it was Mr. Lidder who happened to be in that Red Cross Tent on that particular day. Having had extensive dealings with orthopaedic surgeons in the US and the UK through the years for various injuries and surgeries, including my shoulder, I felt Mr. Lidder provided me the best care I could have possibly received. Thank you very much Mr. Lidder and please also pass on my thanks to your colleagues.
