Casualty 24/7

There's been an influx of patients overnight, creating a huge backlog in the department and there's another emergency on its way. A lorry has tipped over on its side in a country lane and the driver, Karl, is rushed in. An 82-year-old is rushed in after they were found collapsed at home and 28-year-old Kial and his partner Becky wait to be seen after he sliced his fingertips preparing lunch.

On a 'Manic Monday' at Barnsley Casualty, paramedics blue-light in a 66-year-old with a dangerously high heartrate. Doctor Jake Mullen heads to resus to prep for Howerd's arrival. Doctor Mullen has the charts from the paramedics, and it's not good reading. Elvin, 74, suffers from the opposite condition to Howerd, but it's just as dangerous. His heart is beating perilously slow, but he's been ignoring his symptoms until his daughter Jade found out.

Barnsley Hospital's casualty department is flooded as ambulances pour in at the start of the day shift. Sister Abbey must keep things moving quickly as patients arrive with a variety of urgent needs. John, a 78-yearold man, is suspected of having severe cellulitis and is also paralysed from the neck down. Stacey, 37, has a serious arm injury after being thrown from a horse. Toddler Esmae has a head wound, while electrician James faces possible fingertip amputation. And Doctor Jake Mullen treats former rugby player Jeremy's swollen knees, suspecting a joint infection.
