The English Surgeon

Dr. Henry Marsh is a renowned neurosurgeon from the UK, who lives with his wife in their luxurious South London home. But Dr. Marsh lives a double life - every year, for the past fifteen years, the good doctor spends a few weeks in the Ukraine, offering free medical consultations and performing brain surgery on tumours deemed inoperable by Ukrainian doctors. In primitive conditions and without the proper tools, Marsh and his protégé, Dr. Igor Petrovich, perform some of the most highly complex and dangerous surgeries for a poverty-stricken and hope-deprived people.
