Life and death decisions are everyday in frontier medicine.

But what about your health? Your decision? This series explores those patients and doctors who have to be the first to make those decisions. Our stories reveal the breathtaking courage of the everyday person, and the brilliant intelligence of those medics who push back the boundaries of medicine.

Guiding audiences through these stories is Robert Winston. As “the country’s doctor”, Robert holds a deserved position of trust with audiences. With his unique style, and the production pedigree of The Human Body, this will be one of the landmark primetime series of 2008.
