Every once in a while at work we will get a request from a national tv network or program to film here on our medical campus. We're always happy to help out with location and talent coordination.
Last year the Discovery Channel contacted us twice and it worked out that in one of those instances we were able to hook them up with a physician (ok, basically the only doc) in Alaska that specializes in frostbite injuries. The production guys interviewed him and we trekked all over campus for good background locations.
The segment is part of a new show -- the Discovery Channel's Toughest Race on Earth, which is about our Iditarod Sled Dog Race. I caught just a portion of the first episode and am not sure when the frostbite segment will air, but keep your eyes peeled anyway.
Oh and I made the mistake of looking at the frostbite images before sending them on to Discovery. Ugh, couldn't eat lunch that day.
