The doors of Queen’s Medical Centre swing open once again, revealing the raw realities of life and death in one of Europe’s busiest A&E departments. This week, the personal and professional collide when a beloved colleague becomes a patient. 55-year-old Sister Lou, a familiar face at Queen’s, is rushed in after a bicycle accident, leaving her colleagues fearing internal bleeding. The tension is palpable as they grapple with the dual roles of caregiver and concerned friend.
Meanwhile, 57-year-old Stuart arrives with a severely fractured and dislocated ankle, the result of a fall from a ladder. His injuries are compounded by a history of mental health issues, adding another dimension to his treatment. “24 Hours in A&E” continues to offer a raw and unflinching look at the human drama that unfolds within the walls of an emergency room, capturing the resilience of patients, the dedication of medical staff, and the precarious nature of life itself.
24 Hours in A&E airs Thursday, February 20, 2025, at 9pm on Channel 4.
