He survived the removal of a 2 kilo tumour but Bhisma still faces the threat of another bleed and
made of coral from the Pacific, Anthony gets his new look, Thursday September 16th at 8.30pm on WIN
Television.
After having a huge tumour removed, in this episode Bhisma is taken back to theatre to remove the
packs used to stop the bleeding. The concern is that when the packs are removed the bleeding may
start again and because of massive blood loss it's still touch and go.
Anthony has his operation to replace his old fashioned artificial eye. At the end of the episode we
see an amazing result. Anthony lost his eye at the age of 4, due to an infection after an accident
with a toy plastic knife. His artificial eye needs replacing - implants have improved enormously
since Anthony received his. Dr Ghabrial will use an implant made of coral from the Pacific Ocean -
the porous structure of the coral allows the blood vessels to grow into the implant and become a
living part of the body.
Linda and Graeme's triplets have mixed fortunes in this episode. After having all three girls
delivered by caesarean section 10 weeks early Jada has a small bleed in her brain, Tasha has her
first bath and Linda tries to express enough breast milk for her bubs.
RPA gives viewers a unique insight into one of Australia's leading public hospitals, Royal Prince
Alfred in Sydney and captures the chaotic activity of the hospital's emergency departments. Viewers
are able to watch the brave journeys and life-changing experiences endured by patients who share
their stories.
Narrated by Max Cullen, RPA also provides unique access to the wards and operating theatres of the
hospital and shows the true dedication of its doctors, nurses and specialists.
RPA is a WIN Television series, produced with the co-operation of patients at Royal Prince Alfred
Hospital and staff of the Central Sydney Area Health Service.
