But what’s it really like to work on the hospital frontline? In this ground-breaking series three Australian icons with a unique connection to the health system go beyond the headlines to find out.
Host of Gardening Australia Costa Georgiadis, food writer and TV host Melissa Leong, and actor Samuel Johnson are thrown out of their comfort zones and onto St Vincent’s Hospital Sydney’s frontline.
