DR. G RETURNS TO THE MORGUE FOR ALL NEW MEDICAL MYSTERIES AND SCIENTIFIC SLEUTHING ON DR. G: MEDICAL EXAMINER

— New Episodes Featuring Television’s Real Forensic Crime Fighter Premiere Friday, May 23 at 9 PM (ET/PT) on Discovery Health —

(Silver Spring, Md.) – Dr. Jan Garavaglia is a forensic expert, a working mom and a crime fighter—but to her legions of fans, she’s known simply as DR. G: MEDICAL EXAMINER. For years, Dr. G has been doing in real life what many other shows only pretend to do—using forensic science to solve actual mysteries. Now she’s back to tackle a new stack of cases that will prove to be some of her most challenging and shocking to date. The first of five new episodes premieres Friday, May 23 at 9 PM (ET/PT) on Discovery Health.

In DR. G: MEDICAL EXAMINER, the audience becomes Dr. G’s partner as she sorts through the unsolved and mysterious cases that come through her morgue—examining each body for the breakthrough clue that will provide the missing piece of the puzzle. Viewers experience all the thrills of a crime drama while receiving an unconventional tutorial in forensics as Dr. G explains her methodology for determining cause of death—whether it is crime related, accidental or natural.

Every episode of DR. G: MEDICAL EXAMINER follows at least two actual unexplained cases—each calling for Dr. G to walk the fine line between hard-hitting detective and caring counselor. The epitome of Discovery Health’s signature “CFO” (or “Chief Family Officer”), Dr. G somehow manages to balance motherhood and marriage with her incredibly demanding career. Whether it’s running straight from an autopsy to her son’s soccer game, or from a dentist appointment to testify in court, Dr. G does it all. Check out the evidence on DR. G: MEDICAL EXAMINER.

DR. G: MEDICAL EXAMINER is produced for Discovery Health by Atlas Media Corporation. Bruce Klein is executive producer for Atlas Media Corporation, and Alon Orstein is executive producer for Discovery Health.
