| Summary |
With a unique level of access, Great Ormond Street returns to the wards of London's foremost children's hospital. This revelatory series observes life and death decision-making by the various highly-skilled teams working on the wards, and the many challenges they face at the cutting edge of children's medicine.Episode four follows the intensive care and respiratory doctors at Great Ormond Street Hospital as they deal with difficult ethical decisions. Modern medicine means that most children who come here will get better and leave within a short time but some conditions are so complex that the children become dependent on technology to keep them alive. Parents and doctors must weigh up when to keep relying on technology, and when it is no longer right to continue treatment.PRODUCTION DETAILS:6 x 60 minutes. A Films of Record production for BBC |
