Cause of Death

A young man is admitted into hospital after a relatively minor road traffic accident and should have recovered from his injuries in two days. However, due to the complete medical mis-management of the case by the hospital, his condition deteriorates rapidly and two weeks later he is dead. His father wants to know why he died and struggles completely in vain to discover the truth. The public inquest into the death is a white wash and the father is left angry and frustrated still with many unanswered questions. Eventually he is forced to educate himself in medical matters in order to take on the medical establishment and pursue the matter through the courts.

Nerve Transplant

Dr Susan MacKinnon is the first surgeon in the world to carry out nerve transplants. Her pioneering work in St Louis, Missouri, utilising nerves from dead bodies, is the only hope for patients who would otherwise face lifelong paralysis in a limb. It's thanks to her, for instance, that three-year-old Rebecca, whose hand was almost completely paralysed after a garden accident, can play like othertoddlers. In tonight's film QED's cameras show Dr MacKinnon performing only the sixth operation of its kind on a teenager who severed an arm in a water sports accident.

Challenging Children: A Gifted Child

The parents of a gifted child have a special set of problems - not least the fact that nobody believes that they have a problem.
