A series telling the personal stories of ten would-be doctors.
Matters oflife and Death
Medical students have to come to terms with serious emotional traumas at quite an early age. Tonight's film shadows four students at St Mary's Hospital in Paddington as they deliver babies, meet a patient very close to death, and learn how doctors deal with the issue of abortion. These often harrowing experiences begin to transform these typical students into hardened professionals. But, in the process, they pay a price. Producer Susan Spindler
