The Surgeon
4.6
Wong Yan Tung, a doctor with a fear of fire and recurring nightmares of being cremated alive, is dedicated to fighting his colleagues' ignorance about the nature of clinical death. Prostitute Kam Kuk, Wong's childhood friend, attempts suicide several times and they inevitably reconnect during her short hospital stays, while Wong's girlfriend suffers from mysterious and sudden bouts of numbness in her arm.
