Fourteen years ago, NOVA began following seven Harvard Medical
School students as they started a long and rigorous journey to
become doctors. In three separate installments, NOVA follows the
evolution of these seven as they progress from medical students to
practitioners.
Tattooed Doctor:
-
records Tom Tarter's work as an emergency room doctor addressing
acutely ill people's immediate safety needs rather than being
concerned with longer-term health management.
-
conveys that, regardless of background, anyone with commitment
and determination can become a doctor.
Second Opinions:
-
chronicles internist Jane Liebschutz, ophthalmologist David
Friedman, and former practicing pediatrician Cheryl Dorsey's
earliest days in medical school.
-
poses the ongoing question of whether these doctors would do it
again and whether the singular dedication their training
required was worth it.
Hearts and Minds:
-
traces the medical school struggles of psychiatrist Jay Bonnar,
anesthesiologist Elliott Bennett-Guerrero, and cardiologist
Luanda Grazette.
-
chronicles the different medical approaches and styles that
these three doctors practice daily.
