Lisa Ling (This Is Life, CNN) takes a look at first responders and victims of major traumatic events from the Ebola epidemic in West Africa to the mass shooting in San Bernardino, CA. Victims who hover on the brink of death—some recover, some do not—and their medical teams compare their viewpoints, their response to the unthinkable, and the ways in which they cope with post-traumatic stress. Infinitely moving, their stories show the healing power of modern medicine, the ways in which doctors must work when drugs and equipment are lacking, and the sheer power of love.
VERDICT An excellent program on every level; highly recommended for medical personnel and students, psychology courses, and clergy.
