Amid the trying times of 2020, most people across the globe are gripped with a range of unprecedented circumstance and the biggest being COVID-19 pandemic. However, people have resorted to occasional kind gestures and heartwarming videos that are often captured from all corners of the world. In one such video, UK hospital staff can be seen performing a special surprise ballet performance for a five-year-old cancer patient. Since shared on social media, the video has garnered millions of views across different platforms and comments from people hailing the doctors, who can be seen wearing colourful tutus, the ballet dress.
The five-year-old patient, Isobel Fletcher can be seen delighted and thoroughly enjoying the performance by the two doctors, Dr Baylon Kamalarajan and Emma Maunder. As per reports, Fletcher is currently being treated for cancer for a second time and doctor’s “surprise gesture” was their way of showing “putting patients first” at Worcestershire Acute NHS. Daily Mail said in a report that the four-year-old is undergoing chemotherapy treatment for acute lymphoblastic leukaemia. Even though she has already completed two years of treatment in May 2019, it has relapsed again.

You are such wonderful people. You did this out of love and we all love you for it. Hope Izzy recovers fully and who knows? We might see her dance at the Royal Ballet. Unlikely to see you two, lovely medics, but hey, you're the right people, in the right place, at the right time.

Fantastic performance by Baylon and co! As ever, going that extra mile for the fantastic children going through such tough times. We will always remember Baylon and Fran chasing Jamie down the corridor after chemo! We wouldn't be where we are now without you all. Thank you. X

Absolutely love this. Not only did it bring joy and laughter to Izzy, it made this grumpy old man smile so much an actual tear escaped and rolled down his face.
