A Messy Night
Saturday nights in the city are always busy for ambulance paramedics Jordan Emery and Michael Henry as they run the regular party casualty shuttle between Kings Cross and St Vincent’s Emergency. Tonight is particularly messy with one young man falling into the dreaded ‘K –hole’ when he overdoses on Ketamine, while a foreign student gets viciously head butted during a messy street brawl.
In the Family
Kirsty and Jo Short are sisters who are a long way from home. Born and raised in rural England, older sister Kirsty paved the way for Jo by coming out to Australia to pursue a career in medicine.
Scaffold Fall
Registrar Dr David Darley treats a worker who has fallen from a five metre scaffold. The patient complains of severe pins and needles in both arms. He faces the risk of spinal damage or a bleed on the brain. Dr David Darley must diagnose the man quickly and get him the urgent treatment he needs.
Polite Patient
An English gentleman who is enjoying a night out with his girlfriend at a club in Kings Cross dislocates his knee on the dance floor. It’s a painful procedure getting it back into place, but even more painful for Neil is the prospect of offending any of the Emergency staff.
