The standout for me is The Crash Reel.
It’s a tremendous look at Kevin Pearce’s road to recovery after sustaining a traumatic brain injury in training for the 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympic Games. I’m a skier and was aware that TBIs are a bad thing, but had no idea of the spectrum of symptoms and outcomes that could be caused from them. As well as being eye-opening, the entire Pearce family are incredible in their response to his accident.
- mrkwse 6y agoI’ve just remembered about the BBC series ‘Hospital’. I’ve not watched every episode but those I’ve seen have been profoundly impactful. It’s a brilliant showcase of Britain’s National Health Service, showing the absolute brilliance and dedication of its staff even in the most trying of circumstances as well as sharing really moving stories from patients too. If you can find it, episode one of the second series is incredible, focusing on the aftermath of the Westminster terror attack from 2017 and how St Mary’s responded to the gold incident.
