Video Description

This documentary tells the incredible true story of the Barnsley Hospital Casualty team as they face their busiest time of the year: Christmas. Forget the festive cheer; for these dedicated doctors and nurses in Yorkshire, the holiday brings crushing pressure, long hours, and life-or-death situations. Watch as Dr. Humphrey treats an 82-year-old man whose heart is beating dangerously slow, requiring a critical decision about a pacemaker. Witness the terrifying moment nurse Richard administers a powerful drug to a 68-year-old patient with a racing heart, warning him he’ll feel like he’s about to die in a desperate attempt to save him. From a 55-year-old father who fears a deadly blood clot has moved to his lung, to an elderly woman struggling with a serious infection, the staff are relentlessly committed to keeping their patients alive and sending them home to their families.
