    Wonderful docu.
    Sensitively filmed and edited.
    8 interesting episodes that you just want to go on and see the next chapter.

    A truly compelling documentary about doctors and patients. Great characters all the way. It feels like fiction sometimes because of how well scripted it is.

    First of all, not for the squeemish. Real brain surgery, real baby deliveries. nothing gratuitous but it is real things not re enactment. About the same level of depth as ER but real. I am very skeptical, these doctors sure seem to all want to do the right thing, but as a profession I know doctors to be arrogant, ignorant and greedy.

    Great, compelling series. It shows the best side of American medicine but you have to wonder what bill these people receive at the end and how many are forced into bankruptcy trying to pay. I guess that would ruin a good story.

    Real doctors, real heroes. The human and material resources that this hospital has are enviable and should be replicated.

    The show isn’t as comprehensive in its scope as it might be intending at points, but there’s still plenty of fertile storytelling ground where it does focus its attention.

    It is a documentary, but you find yourself taking the characters to heart – patients and doctors alike – as if you were watching a drama.
