The third of six documentaries providing a revealing insight into the hectic and demanding life of Dr Barry Brewster and his four GP partners in the Yorkshire Dales. This week:
Sunday morning, and Dr Barry Brewster is on call to the 8,500 patients in his practice. The phone rings. A diabetic patient, near to coma, needs emergency help; Josephine battles against ovarian cancer; 93-year-old Willie recovers from pneumonia; Isabel finally has her knee replacement operation; and the mystery of the choirboys' allergy is solved. With massive changes in the health service, Dr
Brewster feels compelled to act against what he feels is the Government's diminishing commitment to health care.
