A man's life was saved by a chance handshake with a doctor, who diagnosed him with a life-threatening tumour.
Mark Gurrieri, 36, was working at a restaurant when a friend there for lunch introduced him to his dining partner, GP Chris Britt, 46, of Woodford Green, Essex.
The two men shook hands and Dr Britt noticed Mr Gurrieri's huge, spongy-feeling hand and his large facial features as symptoms of acromegaly - a tumour at the base of the brain, which can be deadly if untreated.
