A & E After Dark

Compelling documentary series lifting the lid on the night shift in A&E. A man is brought in by the police having escaped a mental unit, and a cigarette filter causes problems.

Incidents include an abusive patient refusing to leave the department, a heroin overdose, an agonising toothache and a supermarket guard who's been attacked while doing his duty.

Luke treats a man who fell backwards, developing a haematoma that is bleeding rapidly. Dr Bethany helps a trauma patient whose car crashed on a country road, flipping three times.

In Rotherham's A&E a patient with a suspected head injury is under arrest in the carpark. In London, an eye injury from mixing concrete requires action to prevent damage.

Ambulance crew bring in a patient who behaves aggressively and is a regular at the hospital. And a 45-year-old suffers life-threatening anaphylaxis from an allergic reaction.

Nightshift staff deal with drunkenness in the cubicles, the victim of a dog attack who might have a tooth in the wound.
