Dr Adil El Tayar, a renowned organ transplant specialist, was the first working NHS surgeon to die from coronavirus in Britain. He is thought to have contracted the illness while working in the A&E department at Hereford County Hospital, where he had volunteered to help fight the pandemic. The Sudanese locum, 63, had no idea that the patient he was treating had coronavirus, family said. Dr El Tayar had been self-isolating after developing symptoms around mid-March and he was admitted to hospital on 20 March. He tested positive for coronavirus and spent his final days in intensive care. His cousin, Dr Hisham El Khidir, a Norfolk consultant, warned that doctors were \u201csitting ducks\u201d and said more testing could have saved Dr El Tayar\u2019s life. \u201cHis son was really scared that he wasn\u2019t going to make it,\u201d he said. \u201cThis disease is horrible and is going to cause more heartbreak for many more families for weeks to come.\u201d Dr El Tayar\u2019s career saw him work at hospitals around the world, including in Saudi Arabia, Sudan and two of London\u2019s biggest hospitals \u2013 St Mary\u2019s and St George\u2019s.
