NOVA: Doctors' Diaries (Part II)
04/14/2009
@ 8:00 pm
to 9:00 pm
Over the past 21 years, NOVA has followed a group of seven doctors from
their first day at Harvard Medical School in 1987. All young, bright
and accomplished, none of them could have predicted what it would take,
personally and professionally, to become a member of the medical tribe.
NOVA's cameras have been there through the difficult years of classes
and clinical training, internship and residency, marriage and divorce -
documenting the trials and tribulations as these individuals struggled
to become doctors and to balance time at work and at home. Candid
in-depth interviews have given viewers a real sense of what each person
has to deal with day in and day out since he or she made the decision
to practice medicine. In this special two-part program, NOVA returns
one last time to get an update on the kind of doctors - and people -
they have become.
