See the love between patients and their nearest and dearest. Eighty-nine-year-old Sir John Cockburn arrives at St George's with acute abdominal pain. Medics think it could be a triple A, an abdominal aortic aneurysm, which can prove fatal. When test results come back, Sir John faces emergency surgery. Sir John's son, Jonathan, talks about his father's long and fascinating life, his eccentric approach to business as a wine merchant and growing up in a rambling manor house where the children lived a loving, carefree existence. Meanwhile 68-year-old Mick and wife Linda have been involved in a head-on car crash. Mick took the brunt of the impact and has multiple injuries from top to toe that could be life changing.

And 10-year-old Niall is brought to Emergency after falling eight feet out of a tree during a family picnic. He's broken his arm so badly it looks like a banana and orthopaedic doctors need to work out how to get it back in place.

Out of the Woods From a homeless alcoholic living in the wild to academic success and a book deal, Out of the Woods tells the inspiring comeback story of forest-dweller Gregory Smith. When he left school at 14, dogged by the crushing assessment that he was "functioning at the lower level of the dull range", Gregory Smith had already endured a violent upbringing and months in an orphanage after the break-up of his family. At 35, struggling with a lifetime of trauma, he opted to escape into the wild with no desire to return to the society that had failed him so dismally. Exhausted by years of living off the land and sleeping rough, Gregory emerged from the forest ready to change his life, and gained an undergraduate degree and then a PhD at Southern Cross University. His story offers hope for the most damaged amongst us. "Gregory represents the capacity for transformation against all odds and a real triumph over adversity," says one of his students, Kerry Pritchard. "How to take the crap in life and grow beautiful things out of it."
