After suffering serious burns to his hands that would later require surgery, Malcolm Linsell set his heart on becoming a plastic surgeon at an early age so that he too could make a difference and inspire others.Raised in a Salvation Army family in a modest environment of love, compassion and trust, in 1993 Malcolm Linsell was introduced to Wesley Koni, a young boy from the highlands of Papua New Guinea.
Wesley was brought to Australia for life-saving medical treatment after suffering horrific, disfiguring burns when he fell into a fire. More than two decades later Malcolm Linsell accompanied Wesley Koni and a 60 Minutes team as Wesley returned to Papua New Guinea to be reunited with his family for the first time in 22 years. Dr Malcom Linsellrsquo;s life is an inspirational story of persistence and resilience. Overcoming his own financial difficulties, divorce and major health challenges, Linsell shares the lessons he has learned along the way as a practitioner of the lsquo;surgery of self-esteemrsquo;.
