Caught in the Machine. Great Ormond Street
Description
In this film, Drs. Christine Pierce and Andy Petros face decisions about very difficult cases: 7-year-old Ellis has been in a coma for five weeks with an unknown illness, and doctors must keep him alive and solve the mystery of his condition; 8-month-old Uzoma has been in the hospital since she was born, and the team must assess if she will ever be well enough to go home; the parents of 8-month-old Deanne have been told that she is unlikely to survive, but her mother has asked the hospital to review her case; a 1-day-old baby has been born without a windpipe, and the team must decide whether to try experimental surgery.
