Reviews
“The only difference to 'CSI': the victims are (still) alive - it is literally a matter of life and death. Precisely this aspect makes up the tension of 'Medical Investigation': the investigators are running out of time, they are fighting a constant battle against the clock. Which pathogens are Connor and his colleagues dealing with, which drugs can help - is there an antidote at all? And there is always an unpleasant question loitering in the background: Could the current case have been a terrorist attack? "
