An exhilarating insight into the life of a doctor at Heathrow
Airport, where the truth is often stranger than fiction. For over a
decade, Stephanie Green was a doctor on-call for one of the world's
busiest airports, confronting dramatic, bizarre and sometimes
heart-breaking situations. During her 24-hour shifts at Heathrow,
Dr Green had to be ready for anything: from finding an abandoned
suitcase leaking blood onto the carousel, to discovering a man
smuggling heroin in a corset. It's a job that brought her into
contact with all walks of life; her patients included drug mules
and fugitives, schizophrenics and stowaways, refugees and tourists.
And with the threats of a nerve agent poisoning or a Level Four
viral epidemic always in the back of her mind, Dr Green found
herself on the frontline where the decisions are made about who -
or what - was allowed to leave the airport's borders. FLIGHT RISK
reveals the thrilling drama that takes place behind-the-scenes of
an airport and what is needed to make critical decisions in this
hidden no-man's land of geopolitics, terror, tragedy and medicine.
