Next Episode of Saving Lives is
unknown.
Saving Lives explores the difficult decisions clinicians must make every day in deciding who is treated next and the real impact this has on the lives of patients and their families – and the staff who care for them. All set against the backdrop of the longest national waiting list for specialist clinical care or surgery in NHS history.
At Wales's biggest hospital, neurosurgeon George Eralil operates on a 19-year-old with a rare brain tumour, and vascular consultant Lewis Meecham faces a wave of emergency cases.
Paediatric surgeon Oliver Jackson fights to ensure surgery for a 17-week-old baby triplet goes ahead. And a man who was the victim of an attack has an operation to restore his sight.
Two maxillofacial surgeons team up to rebuild a 19-year-old's face after removing a tumour, and consultant Aarti Sharma fights to give a mother with incurable cancer more time with her four children.
Eye surgeon Magdalena Popiela fights to save a woman's sight, and for orthopaedic surgeon Clare Carpenter, a wave of emergencies add pressure to an already full day of surgery.
Paediatric surgeon Selena Curkovic is determined to make a life-changing operation happen for an eight-year-old boy, and a spinal surgeon must decide which of two patients gets surgery first.
A breast cancer patient and her surgeon of nine years hope a third operation means she can live life fully again, and three surgeons remove a tumour that is a 'ticking time-bomb.'
Looks like something went completely wrong!
