2/3. A rare condition is wrecking Andrew Meikle 's spine - and his hunched back is causing him constant, agonising pain. His only hope is a complex operation performed by surgeon John Hutchinson. John must break Andrew's back and reset it, but there is a risk that surgery will paralyse him for good. This absorbing documentary affords a fascinating insight into the difficult decisions that face both patient and medic. Director/Producer Helen Thomas
