GPs: Behind Closed Doors is a fascinating observational documentary series that takes viewers into the private world of a local GP surgery.
A 53-year-old former typist Cherie arrives at the practice with a painfully swollen hand. Dr Libby Pearson suspects arthritis, but an autoimmune condition could also be to blame. Mark seeks help for his ongoing stomach troubles and Dr George Hawche carries out a careful examination. Also, 76-year-old Corina meets Dr Libby about a rare skin condition that causes constant itching and blisters.
Paula sees Dr Anna McKeogh about a worrying skin lesion on her leg, and after a careful examination, Dr Anna diagnoses it as pre-cancerous. Dr Matt Prestwich checks baby Noah's persistent cough, putting mum at ease. Dr Libby Pearson catches up with Peter, who's struggling with shoulder and back pain. Also, Alexander limps in to see Dr George Hawche after a motorbike accident in Vietnam.
Nicholas comes to see Dr Libby Pearson because of painful testicular swelling. After a thorough examination of the region in question, Dr Libby diagnoses an infection. Dr Libby meets Oliver, who has a large lump on his wrist that is becoming bothersome, and Dr Katy Dudgeon is pleased to see Asghar, who's recovering well after knee surgery.
Dr Libby sees Ihor, who arrives visibly anxious after discovering a lump on his neck 'the size of a ping pong ball'. She offers calm methodical reassurance as she begins investigations. Sharon meets with Dr Tim to discuss the distressing conditions of her council flat, which have sent her stress levels through the roof and her skin painfully dry and irritated.
Steven's painful arthritis is not only affecting his mobility, but also his mental health. David arrives with a mysterious lump in his chest, and young Oscar battles tonsillitis.
Ever-cheerful octogenarian Joyce, who is 'half blind, half deaf and has only got one leg', visits the medical centre to have her remaining foot checked. Dr George Hawche meets young Maya and her dad. Maya has been struggling with persistent constipation, and the family are hopeful today will bring some relief. Amin returns to see Dr Anna McKeogh after coughing up blood.
