Nat Geo hitches up with a Hospital to show doctors and nurses battling death and disease

MUMBAI: ?Emergency Room?, a tale of dramatic and "heart wrenching" episodes that occur almost everyday in a hospital, will soon be aired by National Geographic Channel in association with Medanta Hospital.

The series for which a release date is yet to be announced will be shot inside the Emergency Room of Medanta. The series will encompass the story of doctors and hospital staff that work relentlessly to defeat death and heal sickness as well as the emotional tale of the ailing patients looking for a medicine or a miracle to save them.

A total of 25 cameras rolling 24x7 will capture the efforts by doctors, nurses, surgeons and paramedics alike as they face the never-ending queue of people who need immediate medical attention.

From the anticipation and anxiety in the Emergency Room to the humour and sadness in the Recovery Room - the series will look beyond a hospital?s flashing blue lights and present the real picture of life in the medical world.

NGC and FOX International Channels MD Keertan Adyanthaya said, ?It is our endeavour at Nat Geo to showcase knowledge with an ideal mix of curiosity for our audiences. We are pleased to be associated with Medanta Hospital which provided unprecedented access to the otherwise restrictive world of medicine. We feel that everyone one who steps into a hospital has a story to tell - from doctors and staff to patients. Through ?Emergency Room?, we wish to showcase the humanity amidst syringes, medicines and drips. We are very excited about the series and are sure that it will make viewers rethink their perspective on life.?
