Too much? Well, the squeamish might want to avoid this series, which breaks up the usual medical procedures with patient backstories that add a touch of variety to what you can see on YouTube. Hearing how patient's problems have impacted them adds a new dimension to what can otherwise be a pretty repetitive concept.
For those who don't care about any of that and just find these types of procedures fascinating in a can't-look-away type of way, there is a strange type of satisfaction gained from watching pimples being popped. A word of warning: don't want while or just after eating. (Starts Mon., Jan. 7 at 8.30pm; TLC) 2.5 stars
