Ep 4. Episode 4

In this episode of 24 Hours in A&E season 4, the focus is once again on the emergency department of St George's Hospital in London. This time, viewers get a glimpse into the lives of three patients who have been rushed to the hospital for different reasons.

The first patient is 45-year-old sales manager, Andrea, who was admitted to the hospital after suffering a seizure at home. Andrea has previously been diagnosed with a brain tumour, so doctors are concerned that her seizure may be related to her condition. As she undergoes a CT scan and other tests, her husband and children anxiously wait outside, hoping for some good news.

The second patient is 7-year-old Tyler, who was brought to the hospital after falling from a climbing frame in the park. Tyler's parents, who are both nurses, fear that their son may have sustained a serious head injury. The medical team quickly assesses Tyler's condition and takes him for a scan, while his parents try to keep him calm and distracted from the pain.

The third patient is 60-year-old Graham, who was involved in a serious car accident on his way to work. Graham's injuries are severe and he is rushed to the hospital's critical care unit. Doctors work to stabilise his condition and scan him for any internal injuries. Graham's wife and son arrive at the hospital to be by his side and anxiously await news of his condition.

Throughout the episode, viewers are given an intimate look at the work of the healthcare professionals at St George's Hospital. They observe doctors, nurses, and paramedics as they work to treat patients, make diagnoses, and provide emotional support to families. The episode also highlights the importance of communication and teamwork in the emergency department, as well as the empathy and compassion that medical professionals must display in order to care for patients and their loved ones.

As the episode progresses, viewers are shown how each of the three patients is diagnosed and treated.

At the end of the episode, viewers are left with a sense of admiration for the medical professionals who work tirelessly to care for those in need, as well as for the patients and families who have shown great strength in the face of adversity.
