Lots to digest, and I've only begun to explore the web extras, so I post now for convenience' sake. Overall, though, TR Reid did a terrific job all around.
From the physicians' perspective, I, of course would have liked more but they only chose to do an hour. Frankly, this would have been another good use of an extended format Frontline, as they did with "Bush's War."
