Episode 5

The GPs try to convince some of their patients to trust in medical science rather than unorthodox therapies that may be doing them more harm than good. Dr Ali Hassas sees a man whose alternative practitioner is treating his sore neck by repeatedly punching the painful area while chanting, and Dr Maria Wallace's patient has turned to the internet to restore his flagging libido and has since suffered blackouts and dizzy spells. Dr Devin Gray helps a woman who has been administering a mysterious Chinese ointment to painful blisters.
