It starts promisingly enough, with a group of East Indian interns discussing what it's like to practice in America. How they're viewed as crap and relegated to the toilet hospitals in the boonies. From there, however, it changes to the story of one of the doctors, Abraham Verghese, who specializes in infectious diseases. It's 1985, and AIDS is spreading from the big cities to the rural areas. Abraham takes AIDS as his personal crusade and becomes well-known for his compassion and non-judgemental treatment. He's soon overwhelmed with patients from the surrounding states, which strains his marriage. Written by Bill Alward
