Our resident doctor - Dr Chris Steele, 62, discovered he was suffering from Coronary heart disease after testing out a heart scanning machine for the show. In January this year, Chris met with radiologist and physician Dr Paul Jenkins, ready to film an interview about the very latest developments in pre-emptive screening techniques.
Dr Chris was referred on to leading heart specialist Dr Duncan Dymond. He was lucky to find this when he did, hopefully he won't need any further treatment." Chris said: "My emotionally journey is one I want to share to raise awareness of heart disease. When you are given a lifeline, you don't waste it."
