Life Support(1999)

Life Support is a 1999 British medical drama that follows Katherine Doone, a clinical ethicist at Glasgow's Caledonian Hospital. Tasked with navigating the hospital's most difficult decisions, Doone must weigh competing interests—patient welfare, family wishes, and medical reality—to determine the best course of treatment. The six-episode series examines the moral weight of healthcare choices and the toll they take on those who must make them. Set against the backdrop of a busy Scottish hospital, Life Support explores what happens when medicine meets ethics, and how one woman's judgment can shape lives. The drama balances procedural tension with intimate character study, offering a thoughtful look at the invisible work that underpins modern healthcare.
