1/2, series 1

Michael Mosley is one of those presenters who never makes a bad or boring programme. That's partly because he's no hollow vessel: he used to be a TV executive, before that a banker, and before that a doctor. It's his medical background he calls on in this programme, as he travels out to Afghanistan to report on the advances that military medics are making. There have been good documentaries before about British doctors in Camp Bastion, but none has quite probed the technicalities of what they do in such fascinating but easy-to-grasp detail. But most of all, what you may remember from the programme, as we watch casualties treated in real time, is the pace and intensity of the treatment. This is medical drama at its most shockingly real."

Repeats in the week

good, maybe it will open some eye's of how many soldiers get hurt/lose limbs etc etc...

 

[TinkyPete]

Was a great program and hopefully will mean that people realise more of what soldiers go through after a major injury

Really enjoyed this, best slice of TV I've seen in some time.

Very very good, really enjoyed it. Good to see the humble tourniquet in use too. The blood giving techniques in shoulder and sternum were new to me in all honesty................no you can't have a battery powered set and solar charger for your wilderness kit, forget it. Its the first time in a long time I wish I was twenty five years younger, I would love to be part of that team
