Stuck
Over 500 000 patients visit clinics and hospitals every year in the US because they have something stuck in their body. From a pencil in the throat, to a stingray barb in the shin, or even a fake fingernail in the ear canal, this three-episode series follows the moment of extraction in real time. We’ll find out how patients got stuck, and why you shouldn’t just yoink something out.
Watch Stuck Season 1 from Saturday, 3 December at 20:00 on TLC (DStv Channel 135)
This Came Out of Me Season 1
ER physician Dr Ruby Rose hosts this four-episode series, which covers everything from a patient with a glass shard in her eye, to a moth in the ear canal, and a toddler who’s swallowed their princess doll. But sometimes the body itself creates things that shouldn’t be there, like cysts, ingrown toenails, bone fragments from accidents, and painful abscesses, anywhere from the gums to the bottom!
Watch This Came Out of Me Season 1 from Saturday, 3 December at 21:00 on TLC (DStv Channel 135)
