HANSON SEES A FORMER PATIENT WHO HAS A RECURRENCE OF A LIFE-THREATENING BRAIN ANEURISM WHOSE BROTHER IS DEAD SET AGAINST HIS OPERATING ON HER AGAIN, ON "3 Lbs.," TUESDAY, NOV. 28

"Heart-Stopping" -- Hanson sees a former patient who has a recurrence of a life-threatening brain aneurism whose brother is dead set against his operating on her again, on "3 Lbs.," Tuesday, Nov. 28 (10:00-11:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network. John Coles directed the episode from a script by Scott Kaufer.

Though he will literally have to stop her heart during the operation, Hanson is confident that he can remove the aneurism and affect a complete cure. But, he isn't sure that Seger feels as confident about the outcome. To make the situation even more difficult, the patient's interfering brother wants to prevent the surgery altogether. Meanwhile, Adrianne is attracted to a patient who doesn't recognize people's faces.
