Estado crítico: Entre la vida y la muerte

This series is very "in your face" with how brutal injuries can be from both accidents and straight-on assault. I genuinely love how we get to both see it all of how it's done (it's amazing what people in medicine can do and does do!) AND get to know the people behind it, victims, doctors, nurses, students, families and more.

My heart broke for one young man who showed instant signs of severe PTSD after a brutal assault, and I hope he gets the therapeutic help that he needs. What he experienced could break anyone and everyone, and I really do wish him all the best. Stay strong, Jack!

Shows real life how teams of medics come together to treat severely injured patients. It's really touching to listen to both the medics and patient stories. Highly recommend. Provides excellent insight into a very stressful environment and is tuly cinematic with a good mixture of suspense and drama.

Critical: Between Life and Death is a powerful and honest look at what happens when lives hang in the balance in the hospital. It captures the complexity of the current medical system and the difficulty of decisons that doctors have to make everyday.

It's very personal, real, and sometimes heartbreaking. The series shows just how fragile we are as humans.

This programme showcases the amazing NHS staff who deal with a variety of complex cases multiple times of day. The skill and ability of all the medical staff shown is exceptional. As a Brit I am exceptionally proud of our NHS and the amazing people that work so hard to help everyone. We area leading example to the rest of the world. I hope that if I ever have the need I that I get to encounter any of the doctors and nurses in this programme. What an amazing example of excellence.

By Netflix standards, it's really very good, with detailed depictions. It's a real documentary, even if you sometimes think it's a fictional series. The doctors change constantly, so you can't develop a connection with them, which is a bit of a shame. Some scenes, like the open scalp (his face is peeled off), are tough stuff.
