GPs: Behind Closed Doors is a fascinating observational documentary series that takes viewers into the private world of a local GP surgery.
Henry arrives at the surgery with an ongoing eye infection that has left him feeling trapped at home and struggling to maintain his social life. Avid walker and bowls player Simon consults Dr George about his severe back pain caused by spinal osteoporosis. Also, 86-year-old Edward pops in to see Paramedic Megan Vickery, seeking guidance on compression stockings for his varicose veins.
Dr Libby Pearson investigates a patient's persistently sore throat, which was relieved temporarily by antibiotics before the symptoms returned, alongside a blistering rash. A mother is concerned about her baby's eyes, which keep crossing. After careful examination, Dr Dudgeon arranges a referral for specialist tests. Also, a patient returns after complications following surgery on a broken arm.
William has been suffering intense knee pain that has now eased, but Dr Libby Pearson suspects arthritis is to blame and arranges an X-ray along with a course of physiotherapy to get him back on his feet. Young footballer Lucas and his mum and his mum are back after a pitch-side accident left Lucas with several stitches in his lip, and a course of antibiotics that needs topping up.
Dr Libby meets Olivia, who is struggling with a persistent skin rash on her legs and chest - possibly being worsened by work-related stress. Also, Dr George also reassures little Philomena, who's come down with chickenpox, and treats Charlie who injured his foot after treading on broken glass at home.
Dr Libby meets Daniel, who has a red, swollen patch of skin, suggesting his newest tattoo is infected. Long-term patient Michael sees Dr Tim about a fast-growing lump in his throat, now the size of a fifty-pence piece. Fabia consults Dr George about constant burping and bitter bile. With her gut clearly under strain, Dr George begins an investigation to uncover which troublesome bacteria may be to blame.
