- Summary:
- The world of medicine is beset with challenging, exasperating choices that have to be made every day; often the stark choice between life and death. With exclusive access to hospitals and medical institutions, this series follows ordinary people through some of the most tense and trying moments of their lives and offers a unique insight into the dramas and dilemmas confronting doctors, patients and relatives. At the forefront of medical technology and with potentially distressing, complicated decisions to be made, there is only one certainty: for every happy ending, there will be a journey that ends in heartache. From deciding whether a premature baby lives or dies, to determining which patient will get that vital transplant, the choices made are never taken lightly.
