This show used to be about the patient's life over an 8 year period. It started a few years ago. I have not missed an episode and when my husband would skip it on DVR, I would get so angry at him! Granted it came on at a later time, but I wanted to watch it when I got home from work. He watches it with my now. I told him if he acted like that after my surgery, I would for sure leave him! Or knock him out!
