Stay With Me

The RTS award-winning documentary series continues at its new home, St George's Hospital in south west London, which has one of Britain's most advanced and busiest A&E departments. In this episode the people who are providing the bedside support take centre-stage, as a girlfriend, a wife and a daughter keep spirits high in difficult times. Paul, who's 22, has been stabbed in the face and arm with a broken bottle outside a pub in Kingston. The former boxer is rushed into A&E, accompanied by his girlfriend Naveena. Staff at St George's are used to dealing with stabbings, and team leader Daryl explains what they're looking out for. As the medical team works to stop the bleeding and treat Paul's wounds, Naveena reflects on her boyfriend's sensitive side. Seventy-year-old John arrives with his wife Francesca after falling awkwardly while out running and painfully dislocating his shoulder. To get John's pain under control quickly the medical team give him ketamine, and the side effects keep Francesca and the staff entertained as they prepare to relocate his shoulder. While doctors notice a loss of sensation in John's arm and treat him for potential nerve damage, Francesca talks about how they met and their life together. Meanwhile, 93-year-old Angela is brought to A&E by her daughter Elizabeth after suffering from blood loss and disorientation at her care home. While doctors investigate what is causing Angela's symptoms, Elizabeth keeps her company and shares happy memories of growing up.
