The Surgeon: Story, Cast and Series Facts

Story and premise

For the first time, this series reveals exactly what life is really like as a surgeon: from the high-pressure world of the operating theatre, where someone's life is literally in your hands, to the consulting room where news must be broken, both good and bad, to the everyday ups and downs of life at home.

Each episode follows a different surgeon as they juggle these very different worlds making life changing decisions on a daily basis.

It's a dramatic and deeply personal series that gets under the skin of surgeons like never before.
