Got a scar story to trade?

Got a scar to show? How do you make tough personal health care decisions? Feel passionate about a contentious health care issue? The ground-breaking new documentary series Emergency Room: Life and Death at VGH launched a companion website this week where you can delve into these areas. As of January 7, the Knowledge Network’s special interactive website to showcase this series is live at www.knowledge.ca/er. British Columbians can learn more about emergency care and health care issues in BC through conversation, interactive features, informed debates and the sharing of personal experiences. The website will also feature special clips not included in the series and will air each episode once it has aired on television.

This interactive website is meant to create interest in the six part series about the VGH emergency department, which premieres  Tuesday, January 21 at 9 pm on the Knowledge Network (channel 5).
