Episode Guide

Episode 5

Entering the clinic for Episode 5 was Teresa, who had something very nasty lurking in her ear. There was also 20-year-old Jack, whose constant and very smelly diarrohea was ruining his life. Other patients included Christina, who thought she had piles – but actually had something far worse, and Sophia, whose facial and neck pigmentation problem had destroyed her confidence. Finally there was Barrie, a guy who was desperate to be rid of his man boobs.

Meanwhile Dr Jessen headed out into the bars and clubs of Birmingham to shed some light on the growing problem of chlamydia. He persuaded a group of sexy young things to test themselves for the condition… with shocking results!
