Ever since Lenox Hill arrived on Netflix, it has quickly become one of the most favourite docuseries on the streaming platform.

The documentary follows the work of doctors at the Lenox Hill Hospital in New York City. Every episode features patients and their emotional stories as doctors fight for their lives.

While Lenox Hill has the aim to focus on the incredible work medical workers do every day, it also shows the special bond between doctors and their patients.

One of those special moments witnessed by viewers is the story of Mitzie Hensley in episode 5.

This article has details for Lenox Hill’s episode 5 ‘Undercurrents’.

Lenox Hill: Meet Mitzie

Episode 5 follows Mitzie Hensley who has been admitted to the hospital for brain tumor surgery.

Mitzie found out about her illness at the end of 2017 and the documentary follows the days before and after her tumor removal.

What’s really special about this episode is the bond between Mitzie, her partner Tony and Dr David Langer – the neurosurgeon behind the surgery.

Mitzie and Dr Langer know each other and he later reveals that it’s hard to operate on someone close to you.
