Eva Agius is The Surgeon, a highly skilled woman mostly alone in a mostly male world. Real medical cases filled with twists, turns and surprises test the limits of her skill and knowledge. The anaesthetists, the other surgeons and the nursing staff all confront life, death and the intrusion of fate as everyday reality. Unlike anything you have seen before.
