Andre
Braugher (Homicide: Life on the Street, City of Angels)
stars in this provocative new series from Academy Award-nominated
writer Paul Attanasio ("Quiz Show," Homicide: Life on the Street).
Ben
Gideon (Braugher) is the voice of reason, empathy and wisdom in
a world of medical chaos, bureaucracy and hypocrisy. He is a doctor
we should all be so lucky to have. Highly skilled, on the cutting
edge of technology and experimental medicine but possessing the
gentlest and most inspirational of bedside manners, he is Disease's
mortal enemy.
Ben
Gideon, it seems, could will his patients to wellness. He is compassionate,
of course, but equally relentless and demanding - of himself, of
his students and of his patients. He will not give up in his quest
for cures.
His
students love him, want to be him, but they also fear him just a
little. He challenges his patients to examine their lives and to
make changes if those lives don't have meaning. Ben Gideon treats
the whole person, not just the illness.
