Her family told me she'd become consumed by prayer, which was completely out of character, and had been saying that dark forces were entering her body.’ Marcus Lewis, GP and musician in North London was working in A&E when he met this woman and was told to ‘medically clear’ her.

In this episode, inner city Dublin GP and author Austin O’Carroll tells Rupal Shah and Bob Clarke a story about a young man who should have been saved.
