24 Hours in A&E

Snow (2x11)

Air date: Jul 25, 2012

As snow falls and King's prepares for a surge in slips and falls on the ice, five-year-old Daisy is rushed into resus with her dad Damien after her skirt caught alight on their gas fire. She has first and second degree burns over around 13% of her body. Paediatric sister Jen needs to treat Daisy and try to ease her pain and distress. Daisy is losing fluid as a result of her burns so needs to be constantly replenished to keep her stable. Damien, who put the flames out with his bare hands, needs treatment for his injuries too. Dane has brought his 74-year-old dad Maurice to King's after he fell and hurt his hand. Maurice spent his working life as a concierge, dealing with celebrities and dignitaries, but he now has dementia and his short-term memory is failing him. As the snow continues, 61-year-old Ginger is being treated in minors. She was putting a cashmere jumper over her cat Hector to keep him warm when he scratched her and now her hand is infected and swollen. She's surprised to find out she may need to stay overnight at King's for treatment. Meanwhile, young burns victim Daisy needs to be transferred for specialist treatment, including skin grafts, but no one can be sure whether her scars will be permanent.
