For remote-area nurses, medical practice is characterised by isolation -- geographical, social and professional -- as they provide a healthcare service to a usually small, dispersed and highly mobile population with a high level of morbidity and mortality.
The series is made with a kind of devoted tough love that bluntly avoids mawkishness while almost elegiacally (the contradictions are so Masig) exploring the hardship faced by remote indigenous people and the issues they confront: alcohol abuse, domestic violence, diabetes and mosquito-borne dengue fever.
Which is what this series did for me. What a charming antidote to all the TV medical shows that glorify male surgeons as the hard-nosed front line of health care while reinforcing the prevailing stereotypes by turning them into sexy, ultimately powerful characters.

 Fright Site, Series 7 Movie Review
SERIES 7: THE CONTENDERS was a box office failure during its initial theatrical run in early 2001, despite the fact that its producers had hopes for a BLAIR WITCH PROJECT-like success (having strategically premiered it at the 2000 Sundance film festival, where BWP had its lucrative bow the previous year).
Opposing her are Tony, a gruff family man; Connie, a (seemingly) kind-hearted nurse; Lindsay, a teenager struggling against her overprotective parents; the delusional Franklin, who lives in a trailer park; and Jeff, a suicidal artist dealing with testicular cancer and a manipulative wife.
Writer/director Daniel Minahan was a prolific TV producer before he made this film, and that experience shines through in the oft-ingenious way he filters the drama of SERIES 7 through the syntax of modern day television.

 TV series on nursing set to debut
The nursing series is part of the network’s “Lifeline” medical series and is the first time “Lifeline” has focused on a specific type of clinician, Kathy Quattrone, senior vice president, programming and production at Discovery Health, told Nurses.com in an interview.
She was struck, she said, by the involvement of the nurses with patients--that they “feel very deeply the joy having a success and the sadness when a patient dies, and I think that came through.”
If you miss part of the series, you may be able to catch it in reruns, as the segments will be repeated a number of times through the spring.
