Meet Dr. G, medical examiner. On nights and weekends, she's a devoted wife and mother of two boys, but during the day, she spends her time solving medical mysteries as one of the nation's leading forensic pathologists.

Discovery Health Channel's series profiles the profession of Dr. G — also known as Dr. Jan Garavaglia — in Dr. G: Medical Examiner.

In this compelling series, Dr. G explains to viewers how people can die suddenly and unexpectedly. She uses cutting-edge forensic science and technology to solve the mysteries of life and death.

Dr. G's work is a public service to the community as she determines cause and manner of death. She also plays a significant role in helping family members obtain closure and cope with the tragic loss of a loved one.

Each episode follows at least three unexplained cases. Viewers have the opportunity to witness the extent to which Dr. G goes to ensure that the victims — and the families they've left behind — rest in peace.

More than 6,000 cases came through the District Nine Medical Examiner's Office (serving Orange and Osceola Counties in Florida) in 2003 alone. Now, Discovery Health Channel brings Dr. G's investigative work to the forefront in Dr. G: Medical Examiner for viewers to get an appreciation of forensic science, human emotion and the delicate line between life and death.
