Bloodletting & Miraculous Cures hits Canadian TV in January

In January 2010, watch out for Bloodletting & Miraculous Cures, a new Canadian television series about young med-students-turned-doctors. Based on the critically acclaimed, Scotiabank Giller Award-winning book by Vincent Lam, the eight-part drama will premiere on HBO Canada on Sunday, January 10, 2010 at 8 p.m. ET/MT.

There's nothing like a good medical drama to get the pulse racing and the tear ducts welling up, especially one that can boast a love triangle. Starring Canadian actor Byron Man (great news for all you Dragon Boys fans), who of course has the girl, Vancouver-born-and-raised Mayko Nguyen (whom you might know from ReGenesis). The real question is, can he keep her?

Synopsis from HBO Canada:

Set in the fictional Toronto Mercy Hospital, the one-hour, eight episode series follows the lives of three talented, driven and conflicted doctors —Fitz (Shawn Ashmore), Ming (Mayko Nguyen) and Chen (Byron Mann)—and draws back the curtain on their lives as they tend to medical emergencies, perform surgeries and manage their own emotional triage. Fitz is a troubled air ambulance doctor with a lust for life and alcohol, who has never gotten over his love for Ming. A painfully private OB/GYN, Ming is torn between Fitz and her husband Chen, an even-tempered physician hiding a sea of emotion. Through a series of events the three doctors are reunited at the hospital where they struggle to resolve some unfinished business and put their feelings from the past to rest.
