Synopsis
Junior Doctors are the front-line medics of any hospital. Every year hundreds are lured down under from the UK and Ireland.
With health care systems around the world under increasing strain, Australian hospitals are in the fight to attract this next generation of doctors. But in return they must sign up for something they’ve never done before – The Emergency Department.
These young doctors in training are the specialists and surgeons of tomorrow, but not until they pass their toughest test: treating life and death trauma far away from loved ones. If they thought they were coming for a holiday, they were wrong.
