Episode Guide

Episode 6

Patients seen by the doctors in Episode 6 included a man whose gigantic hairy mole covered his entire shoulder, as well as a young woman whose life was being ruined by boils that constantly erupt all over her body. There was also a 44-year-old woman who received a cutting edge medical procedure to rid her of the heavy periods that were making her life a misery.

Also Dr Harper embarked on a mission at a Birmingham health club to reveal the horrors that lurked beneath the gym kit – with some revolting results!
