Saving Lives in Cardiff
Season 1 Episode 1 of 6
In neurosurgery at the University Hospital of Wales, consultant George Eralil prioritises 19-year-old Chelsea who has an extremely rare brain tumour. Her operation has been cancelled once already and if it's delayed any longer Chelsea could be left with permanent disabilities or even find her life at risk. Surgery is complicated, as the tumour is deep in her brain and close to areas that control her speech and ability to walk. Vascular consultant Lewis Meecham faces a wave of emergency cases, including a 74-year-old man with an abdominal aortic aneurysm
Saving Lives in Cardiff airs on BBC One Wales HD at 10:40 PM, Monday 7 July. (Subtitles, repeat.)
