Wounds S1
1Magic’s gripping medical drama Wounds is set in the fictional Healing Hands Hospital, where nurses and doctors dedicate their lives to helping others. A place of both trauma and hope, where a single decision can save a life or end it, this is where medical professionals walk a daily tightrope, all while grappling with the complexities of being human themselves.
It is where we meet Busisiwe (Samke Makhoba from MTV Shuga), a new intern who is understandably nervous – but for reasons that have more to do with the past she is running away from than the challenges that lie ahead of her as a nurse.
