EndedDocumentary showMedical

Surgery School is a series with unique access to 10 high flying trainee surgeons as they take the first steps in their attempt to break into the ranks of the surgical elite. The series follows their personal stories and real life medical dramas over their first year in training as they try to beat the odds and prove they have what it takes to be a top surgeon. Every year two thousand young doctors apply to the London School of Surgery for training to become consultants. Our trainees are among the hundred or so chosen. Of these select few, only a quarter will stay the full course and make it to consultant level. Those who do will be in the top three per cent of students and have the chance to become a world class consultant surgeon.

Episode 3

As the first year finishes, the trainees are facing their first year assessments. It’s a crucial time for them as they have to show they have made real progress in the year. Those who don’t make the grade will be asked to leave the course. As well as preparing for tests the trainees have to get as much experience as possible. Nicola makes a good start by getting in to some important operations. Yvonne is desperate to move away from treating old men in urology, and eventually gets a placement in general surgery. It gives her a chance to do her first leg amputation. Trainee Nick gets to help a gardening enthusiast who chopped his toes with a lawn mower. For trainee Ed in intensive care he faces the most seriously ill patient he has ever had to treat. It’s a hard week for Ed, despite the intensive treatment she receives his patient dies. Learning how to cope with life and death is part of their training. During the final assessment and interviews, all of the trainees get a harsh grilling, but for one trainee it’s a disappointing end to the year.
