Sat Mehta, who now lives in Wakefield, was born in India. After qualifying as a doctor, he came to England in 1966. He began as a junior doctor, eventually working for 24 years in Barnsley as a consultant surgeon. His first book Flying with a Broken Wing told of his childhood at the time of the Indian Partition. Once wealthy farmers, the Mehta family became destitute refugees. Later, a disastrous arm fracture, infected with maggots, led to a decision to amputate his arm. But an eminent surgeon from Liverpool saved the arm, and made Sat determined to become a surgeon himself. Now, after 50 years in Britain, he has written Dare to Fly, an account of dangers faced and lives saved, which also tells how he found his way in a new country, marrying and raising a family. The resulting story is exciting, funny and heart-rending.
