Air date: Aug 16, 2017

Mike, who's 79, collapsed in the street while walking his dog, Louie. His daughter Emma was driving along the same street when she saw Louie, then realised it was her father who had collapsed. Doctors give Mike medication to try and stabilise his very high heart rate. Meanwhile, his wife Rita talks about how important he is to her. Chartered surveyor Andrew, who's 53, tripped on a paving slab on his way to work and has a suspected dislocated shoulder. His daughter Hannah is surprised that such an innocuous accident brought him to A&E: 'the amount of miles he sails, his speedboats, he does all this crazy stuff, and we ended up in A&E with him because he tripped on a paving slab.
