A quiz for teams training at various hospitals.
-
:BBC Two brings viewers the first medical themed quiz show ''[sic]''. Two teams of junior doctors from teaching hospitals around Britain go head to head as they tackle an array of rigorous questions ranging from diagnosing a patient’s symptoms, prioritising cases in a mock A+E department, and getting stuck in with their chosen specialism. The teams are competing for the highest score of the week, in a bid to win a place in Friday’s final.
+
Rounds included "The Waiting Room", buzzer questions about symptoms. "The Doctor's Surgery" got teams to ask questions of a patient and diagnose what's wrong with them. Specialist round "Which Ward" was followed by "The Operating Theatre", where players drew on a model's body. The quickfire buzzer round was called "Rapid Response".
-
No-one mention [[Tibs and Fibs]] and we'll be fine.
+
Medical facts were explained by Helen Lawal, a properly qualified medical doctor. Jo Brand hosted the programme with her usual wry style. Four heats, and the two top-scoring winners came back for the grand final.
