Episode 4

Patient Robert is contemplating brain surgery - involving the insertion of electrodes into his brain - to treat his debilitating, medication-resistant epilepsy. Former truck driver Gary is gearing up for yet another medical procedure to address complications arising from a lifetime of sun exposure and a previous skin cancer diagnosis. The removal of his lymph nodes is essential, but will it pave the way for recovery? And in the emergency room, a deep cut in backpacker Ruby's hand needs immediate attention.
