The Yorkshire Vet star Julian Norton experienced significant challenges as he made his comeback to the clinic after a formidable six-week recovery from "life-changing" injuries. The beloved animal doctor encountered a severe tumble from his bicycle while journeying through Kilburn, which left him with a serious knee injury caused by collision with a massive boulder. This unfortunate event rendered him immobile.

Thankfully, a swift response team from Mountain Rescue came to his aid when he completely severed his patella ligament - an injury so serious that standing became an impossible task. He was promptly admitted to Friarage Hospital in Northallerton, where surgery was necessary. In time, Julian had no choice but to rely on crutches for mobility.

In the latest episode aired on Tuesday (October 29), viewers witnessed Julian bravely returning to his veterinary duties equipped with a leg brace for additional support while bearing weight on his healing limb. Yet, as he attempted surgery on a French bulldog afflicted with an abscess, his colleague Lucy was compelled to intervene, reports Leeds Live . Julian humbly confessed to feeling "rusty" during the operation and shared his reflections: "It's been six weeks since I've been operating, it's been long enough to forget.

" His partner, Lucy, expressed her joy at his return, elaborating: "I have missed you. It's lovely to have him back, we get on like a house on fire." During the tense surgical process, there was an alarming moment.
