Description

What happens when a patient becomes the customer and health is a consumer product, where money gives you access to the best available care? This observational documentary series looks inside the world of private medicine in Harley Street, the iconic British institution. Home to the greatest concentration of medical expertise, Harley Street is an exclusive one-stop shop for everything from cutting-edge cancer treatment to cosmetic surgery. But while the wealthy form a significant part of its custom, Harley Street is also a last resort for desperate people. Make Me Better examines why people choose private medicine over the National Health Service and follows breast cancer, cardiology, brain tumor, and pediatric surgery patients of varying income levels to understand how they finance personalized care.
