Big John is torn away from his beloved ranch for a while. Will his worst fears be realised upon his return?
This week's programme in the series on Man and Science Today.
Who gets the priority - the man needing an artificial kidney machine, the cost and maintenance of which will run into thousands of pounds; the old person whose support, in brutal economic terms, is money down the drain; or the woman with a mild phobia whose house becomes a prison until she's treated? Modern medicine presents growing problems, and actually creates them by enabling old people to live longer and by saving the lives of some children who only 10 years ago would have died at birth: such children often need expensive aftercare for the rest of their lives, yet it seems unthinkable to let them die.
This week's Horizon focuses on the problems of priority, seeing how they affect one community.
