A dramatic expedition into an unknown world, THE FIRST PATIENT challenges audiences to embrace their curiosity and courage as they follow first year medical students through gross anatomy - the dissection of the human body. The Mayo Clinic School of Medicine granted unprecedented access to veteran filmmaker Chip Duncan and The Duncan Entertainment Group team to explore a world long considered taboo. The documentary proves both entertaining and emotional as the camera follows a diverse group of students, faculty and body donors on this life-affirming journey inside the human body. THE FIRST PATIENT provides dynamic insights into medical science, teamwork, death, and spirituality as students discover what it means to be a doctor...and what it means to be a human being.
