24 Hours in A&E
Season 6 Episode 5 of 7
Linden, 15, is brought to A&E having badly cut his leg while back-flipping off a shed roof onto a trampoline. As well as calling an ambulance, his friends filmed the accident on their mobile phones and happily show the clip to the staff at King's. Junior doctor Sammy looks after 88-year-old Panayiota, who has been referred to hospital with breathing difficulties. Originally from Cyprus, the patient speaks very little English and Sammy has to contact a translator to help with the diagnosis and treatment. Meanwhile, 55-year-old lorry driver Antony has lost all feeling in his left leg, and an ultrasound scan reveals he needs emergency surgery on a blocked artery to save his limb
