DOCUMENTARY
A followup to the network's acclaimed Hopkins 24/7 from 2000, this engrossing six-part documentary revisits Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore and makes the rounds with doctors, paramedics, patients and their relatives. The big cases, notably a little boy in need of a new heart, make for very powerful viewing. A close-up of the child's mother in the waiting room reacting to some upsetting news is a stunning moment—she sinks back in her chair while her eyes start out of her head in fear. Like all good medical programs, this one moves you, intrigues you and also makes you resolve to eat better and exercise more so that you're not the one in surgery the day the camera team comes by.
