24 Hours in A&E: Season 12, Episode 3

12 - 3: Never Say Die

The RTS award-winning documentary series follows more patients being treated in the same 24-hour period at St George's in south west London: a place where stories of life, love and loss unfold every day. Eighty-year-old Frances is rushed to St George's by air ambulance after falling three metres into her empty swimming pool while gardening. Consultant Rathan is concerned that a significant head wound may conceal a potentially life-changing bleed on her brain. Frances's son Clive talks about how she's fiercely independent, continuing to mow the large lawn on her tractor and even re-felting the garden shed roof. With her independence at risk, the medical team work quickly to identify France's injuries.
