Viewers of 24 hours in A&E need to set their alarms today, as the final episode of the latest series hits our tv screens tonight, Thursday 17 April, at 9pm on Channel 4.
In this last episode, 58-year-old, Simon is rushed to resus after falling from a two-storey roof. Major Trauma Consultant, Rory, and the team try to assess his life-threatening injuries and work together to save his life. Multiple CT scans show significant injuries including a fractured skull and bruising to the brain. Simon's wife, Jo, talks about how they met in 1998 when he fixed her roof.
Simon is now two years into his recovery and said: "The NHS were so brilliant when I needed them. I am feeling a bit apprehensive about watching the episode back, it will be an emotional watch.”
Simon's wife, Jo said: "It is amazing to see the response of the staff. There is a lot that goes on behind the scenes, that we weren't aware of before seeing the programme."
In the Children’s emergency department, 20-month-old Evelyn is with her mum Rachel, after she burnt her finger on a mozzarella stick. Rachel talks about her joy of being pregnant until a scan brought some worrying news for both her and Evelyn.
97-year-old Doris has a heart condition called atrial fibrillation, she is brought into resus as her heart is beating at a worryingly high and irregular rate. Doris gives breakfast tips to the nursing staff and friend Poppy talks about Doris’ life with her husband.
