  • Pediatric sister Jemma Wray treats two critically ill children - ten-year-old Kai has been having seizures, and 18-month-old Joel is struggling to breathe. Elsewhere, nurse Will Gibbons looks after a 28-year-old patient who has been in a motorbike accident, and 51-year-old Andrew comes into the hospital after damaging his fingers with a circular saw.
    The doors of the Barnsley A&E department are open every hour of the day. The reality series allows for a peek inside the hearts and minds of the medical emergency teams, and how they deal with critical situations revolving around people's lives and illnesses. The close-knit team exchanges typical Yorkshire banter and humor to aid them with getting through their often long and tough days.

    I had my first epileptic seizure when I was 6, and had them pretty often. I didn't get treatment until foster care at 12. My dad just refused to accept that I had epilepsy like him.
    Like him my seizures are refractory, not responding to just medication. But in 2019 I got an implant, and for the first time in my life I've been seizure free.

    My son tried to chop his fingers off with a circular saw too. It was the first and last day he worked for our company. No matter how many times we nagged him about safety rules (Clip your harness back onto the rope, I don't care if it's uncomfortable - that's not the right saw for that job, use the recip saw - clip your harness back onto the rope - it only gets tangled up because you let it - Put your hardhat on - Clip your harness back onto the rope!) he just ignored us because he thought Mom and Dad would never fire him. He went to work for another company and went 3 stories off the roof a few months later. Tools are not toys and they have safety guards on them for a reason.

    USA resident here. A little more than 10 years ago my mom who suffered from COPD was taken to the hospital. I went to be by her side and found her alone with nothing but a hospital gown on and in the corridor freezing! She was 76 years old!!! No one offered her a blanket no one did her the dignity of covering her private parts but left her in the hallway so anyone who came in could see her entire emaciated body. She died less than a year later, and I will never trust the hospitals in the US again! They just don't care!!!!!!!
    I wish we had a system like the UK and other nations. At least the only ones that matter aren't the ones with money!

      I wish I could say that emergency rooms are better in Canada... but they're not. Very disappointing. Only solace is not paying a hospital bill.
      I've had to start omitting my health conditions from my patient history for staff to take my condition seriously.
      For 6 years I've been dealing with debilitating and consistently chronic chest pain, diaphragm pain and lower back pain (sometimes it spreads to my left shoulder). I'm 27. The first time it started and the worst of the worst flareups I went to emergency and told them it could Very likely be a gallbladder attack as I have quite a few family members who've had their gallbladders out, my father had an attack and had emergency surgery because his was completely gangrene and I've known i had gallstones since the age of 16 because they were noted on a gynecological ultrasound.
      As soon as they heard I have IBS they stopped caring even when I insisted to them its not heartburn because A) I know what that feels like B) I took 2 gaviscon just in case it was and no improvements before going to emergency C) I have a strict diet to avoid acid reflux D) I hadn't had any foods that day that would spurr acid reflux or heartburn.
      They didn't listen to my heart, didn't do an ultrasound or chest xray or even bloodwork. They took my medical history, took my blood pressure and eventually gave me something called pink lady which didn't do anything at all. After 4 or 6 hours of laying alone in a hospital bed, freezing and no one even checking on me periodically to check I was alive and still in terrible pain out of frustration I'll check myself out because I feel guilty that my father is outside just sitting in his vehicle in hopes that he'll hear some progress or something. Keep in mind, I was going to a very small hospital and I've never seen more than 2 or more people in the waiting room at any time of day and when I was admitted it was like I was on an entire floor by myself and not even nurses walked by.
      The next time I went to emergency I didn't tell them I have IBS and finally they took bloodwork, did a chest xray and scheduled an ultrasound for the next morning but gave no pain relief and no pain relievers help me. The ultrasound showed the gallstones but they said they saw no inflammation so they said it's probably not the cause.
      My previous doctor diagnosed the chest pain as fibromyalgia and myofascial pain syndrome and I was eventually put on duloxtine which for a year and a half seemed to help cut down the frequency of the flareups.
      The pain of the flareups can leave me bedridden for days or weeks, the only relief I get is from heating pads and ice packs. I have scarring on my breast and breastbone from the ice packs because I'm so desperate for relief I'll press them directly on my skin and put something heavy on top and I got frostbite. I've been unemployed for 6 years and I'm on disability and this is in part due to the chest pain.
      I have a new doctor now who is taking my pain seriously and today I had an appointment with her after having bloodwork and a full abdomen ultrasound. It looks like my gallbladder is impacted by a stone and now we are scheduling for surgery to remove the gallbladder. She suspects that it's been my gallbladder all this time like I said on the beginning.
      For 6 years, all this time it looks like it was my gallbladder after all. I'm cautiously optimistic that this will take the pain away but I've had my hopes up many times before.
      Please, as a resident, please actually listen to your patients. Your listening may save them from 6 years of debilitating pain and depression.

      Sadly it’s the same in the UK too, your just seeing the best bits on TV that show our NHS in a positive light. We rarely have enough beds for the amount of patients that we receive in hospital and many people are left waiting over 24hours to be seen to. It’s awful currently in the NHS but I am very thankful that we have it, we just need to treat it better and pay our staff better wages and fund the NHS correctly.

    my son had an accident in shop class. He was okay with it and calm until he got that first needle in his fingers and WHOA face as white as a sheet, eyes wide, holding on to me for dear life. The nerves in those fingers must make it hella painful. I thought he was going to pass out and I felt like a labour coach getting him to lock eyes with me and breathe in and out til it was over. Healed really well though! We thought it would be amputated but all the spiral of stitches held (had nursing care at home each day to change the bandages) and it looks pretty normal!

    Is a "sister" nurse actually from the Catholic church?

    Now I know why we have to wait so long to be admitted. Those doctors and nurses stand and chat all the time not working. They should get pay by a patient not by the hour.

      I bet you're one of those that goes to the A&E by an ambulance because they can't get a tampon out or have a paper cut. PS. If you ever find yourself waiting, use that time to work on your English.

    Dear doctors and residents in emergency rooms;
    Please listen to your patients.
    Please listen to my story as a cautionary tale of not listening.
    For 6 years I've been dealing with debilitating and consistently chronic chest pain, diaphragm pain and lower back pain (sometimes it spreads to my left shoulder). I'm 27. The first time it started and the worst of the worst flareups I went to emergency and told them it could Very likely be a gallbladder attack as I have quite a few family members who've had their gallbladders out, my father had an attack and had emergency surgery because his was completely gangrene and I've known i had gallstones since the age of 16 because they were noted on a gynecological ultrasound.
    As soon as they heard I have IBS they stopped caring even when I insisted to them its not heartburn because A) I know what that feels like B) I took 2 gaviscon just in case it was and no improvements before going to emergency C) I have a strict diet to avoid acid reflux D) I hadn't had any foods that day that would spurr acid reflux or heartburn.
    They didn't listen to my heart, didn't do an ultrasound or chest xray or even bloodwork. They took my medical history, took my blood pressure and eventually gave me something called pink lady which didn't do anything at all. After 4 or 6 hours of laying alone in a hospital bed, freezing and no one even checking on me periodically to check I was alive and still in terrible pain out of frustration I'll check myself out because I feel guilty that my father is outside just sitting in his vehicle in hopes that he'll hear some progress or something. Keep in mind, I was going to a very small hospital and I've never seen more than 2 or more people in the waiting room at any time of day and when I was admitted it was like I was on an entire floor by myself and not even nurses walked by.
    The next time I went to emergency I didn't tell them I have IBS and finally they took bloodwork, did a chest xray and scheduled an ultrasound for the next morning but gave no pain relief and no pain relievers help me. The ultrasound showed the gallstones but they said they saw no inflammation so they said it's probably not the cause.
    My previous doctor diagnosed the chest pain as fibromyalgia and myofascial pain syndrome and I was eventually put on duloxtine which for a year and a half seemed to help cut down the frequency of the flareups.
    The pain of the flareups can leave me bedridden for days or weeks, the only relief I get is from heating pads and ice packs. I have scarring on my breast and breastbone from the ice packs because I'm so desperate for relief I'll press them directly on my skin and put something heavy on top and I got frostbite. I've been unemployed for 6 years and I'm on disability and this is in part due to the chest pain.
    I have a new doctor now who is taking my pain seriously and today I had an appointment with her after having bloodwork and a full abdomen ultrasound. It looks like my gallbladder is impacted by a stone and now we are scheduling for surgery to remove the gallbladder. She suspects that it's been my gallbladder all this time like I said in the beginning.
    For 6 years, all this time it looks like it was my gallbladder after all. I'm cautiously optimistic that this will take the pain away but I've had my hopes up many times before.
    Please, as a resident, please actually listen to your patients. Your listening may save them from 6 years of debilitating pain and depression.

      I can identify with you. They are so busy typing, dashing to the next poor idiot, dont even do family histories anymore. The drs and nurses here d o n o t listen. Its always "just take more fluids, fiber, walk more, etc etc" when I am full of distention and havent had relief in days and days, year after year. Sick and tired of it. Treated like I am an idiot and dont know my own body.

      I'm sorry for that. It's a known fact that medical professionals are trained to be biased( women, POC, people suffering from chronic illnesses are not taken seriously and are usually denied pain relief). There are good healthcare professionals though, whenever you're not satisfied with the treatment ( and especially the absence of) go somewhere else. I hope you're getting better now. It must have been hell and you're incredibly strong to have survived that.
