Following the lessons learned from the Bristol heart surgery scandal of the 1990s, the Bristol Children’s hospital set out to recruit outstanding children’s cardiac anaesthetists. One of these was my friend Guy Bayley, trained in both paediatrics and anaesthetics, and possessed of an infectious smile, patience and empathy. Following a short depressive illness and a rare side-effect of antidepressants he has taken his own life at the age of 55.
