24 Hours in A&E (KCH) Ch4 (2nd series now on)

Just in case anyone's interested or has friends that work there or if you've even been there yourself and want to spot people who've treated you etc.

and just in case teuchter decides to point out this should be in the Camberwell thread...



































fuck off teuchter

Been waiting for this. I've been there a fair few times. Will keep my eyes peeled for anyone I recognise.

Same as. Another episode next week as well

Have seen them filming lots over the last couple of years, first for the series The Hospital, and then with this

I was unlucky enough to be in kings whilst they were fiming this. I declined the opportunity to be filmed but I thought it was interesting how they filmed it, i.e. by using lots of fixed cameras (a'la Big Brother) instead of free-roaming cameramen following you around.

Sounds the same principle as 'One Born Every Minute' - presumably with similar fool incidental music, brave women and yer requisite idiotic man-child.

How many departments have they to get through before the trend passes . . .

Loads

The bloke run over by the bus

but at least he managed to walk after 3 months

The bit where he got up from his wheelchair and walked a few steps was

The wind chose that moment to blow some dust into my eyes.

Just got back from there and passed a room called Stoma. Saw a woman in an awful condition going in there last week, so this thread has reminded me to google Stoma

Bit of a late bump

Episode 3 was rather eventful - the guy who played keyboards on Telstar was being checked out for chest pains when a man walks in who'd been shot in the face.

God wasn't the Telstar bloke a pain, dronning on and on and on and on. Totally self obcessed

All strands in life's rich tapestry.

He did like to name drop a bit didn't he

I don't think the doc who was treating him had the slightest idea who the Tornadoes were

I'm so glad that young boy survived. I really feared he wouldn't.

I missed the first 15 minutes. What had happened to him?

He was hit by a car. He had a head fracture from the top of his head to his chin. I wasn't excpecting him to live. And neither were the medical staff. His poor dad was just sat on the floor praying. He was only 11 and was in a right poor state, bless hm.

ah, I was wondering what had happened to him. Didn't think it was gang related

I never watched OBEM but features on A&E will never end for the same reason that people stop to look at traffic accidents. I watched 24h and it seemed a fair portrayal </ambulance hat>

^^ ^ this

Not necessarily. Some people might watch because they know people on the programmes or because they've been to that hospital or because they might learn something

Yes but that's not the "reason why features on A&E will never end".

Back next Wednesday (16th) with a new series

I spent 4 hours in A&E in Torbay about a week ago. That will do me. (I was accompanying someone who got discharged at the end of it)

I used to watch Holby City - yes I know it is fictional, but now the sexy asian doctor has left I don't bother. Hospital documentaries I find a bit worrying. This is not a good time for the soon to be privatised NHS.

I watch Casualty and Holby. Also watch 24 Hours because it's based at King's and I'm there regularly

I can't wait for this, it was so fucking brilliant last year.
