Channel 4 returns to the front lines of healthcare Thursday night with a new episode of “24 Hours in A&E.” Filmed at Queen’s Medical Centre in Nottingham, one of Europe’s busiest emergency rooms, the program continues to offer a raw and unflinching look at the lives of patients and the medical professionals who care for them. This episode features stories of patients facing difficult challenges, and the relatives who support them.
This week, viewers meet Anita, whose sudden cardiac arrest throws her family into turmoil. As doctors work to stabilize her and understand the cause of her heart attack, the program reveals that her quick-thinking son and mother administered CPR and how these actions contributed to her survival.
The episode also introduces Bob, a 94-year-old man brought in after a fall. While doctors tend to his head injury, his daughter shares stories of his long and eventful life, providing a glimpse into the human stories behind the medical emergencies. We also meet 5-year-old Lottie who attends the children’s emergency department with a leg injury. Her mother recounts a concerning discovery made during her pregnancy, which gives an understanding of the bond between mother and daughter.
“24 Hours in A&E” airs Thursday at 9:00 PM on Channel 4.
