- Description
- The 3rd in this groundbreaking series which captures the vast and varied work of the NHS across Britain in a single day. Sending 100 cameras from the Scottish islands to the South coast, it reveals the heroism, frustration, grief and joy evident every day in the NHS. This week features a GP struggling with an unusual medical emergency on a Scottish Island and a top surgeon performing a high risk brain operation while the patient Daryl is still awake. In London, Pat waits anxiously for his wife Laura to come round from an induced coma. This film shows the vastly different contexts in which the NHS operates; urban and rural; both the cutting edge treatment for those who are critically ill with the more everyday procedures that make up the ailments and dilemmas of modern Britain.
