Doctors care for others selflessly – it’s a fundamental part of their job – but many go beyond their daily responsibilities. This episode’s theme is giving back.
An aid worker travels to West Africa in the midst of the Ebola outbreak and is faced with cultural misunderstandings. A doctor flees his war-torn country but returns to care for the community close to his heart.
And we ask junior doctors: what was your most terrifying moment at work?
