Episode summary:

Martin treats an average of two stabbings a day, and two shootings a week. A statistic made even more shocking because most of his patients are still children. His work outside the operating theatre is also making a difference - he spearheads a violence-reduction initiative that's seen the numbers of patients re-admitted to hospital with a stab wound fall from 45 percent to around four percent.Nick Elphick is a Welsh figurative sculptor based in Llandudno. He works in a variety of mediums and scales, but always with the same aim - not just to replicate the human form, but to express a deeper meaning within his pieces.Will this master of human form be able to encapsulate something of the multi-faceted surgeon?
