24 Hours in A&E

I enjoyed binging on this show over this past week. They really showed a good mix of health emergencies. The worker videos was a different aspect and it was great to hear things from their viewpoint. The family interviews/comments was also something other shows have not bothered to add to their documentaries. I liked looking at things from ALL the additional viewpoints.

I was super hooked on this show right up until season 9. And then I have to agree with some other reviews, after season 9 they screwed the show up. The doctors they chose weren't nearly as friendly or likeable, the the doctor dialog was almost non existent. Sadly the show lost its flavor. Up until season 9 the doctors were funny and enjoyable to watch. They seemed to generally care about the patients. Nothing like our care in the USA, doctors even introduce themselves by first name. I absolutely loved watching the show, but after season 9 when I had the show on it merely became background noise as it couldn't hold my attention at all. So I would strongly recommend season's 1 thru 8. I mean go ahead and try the rest of the seasons, they just did nothing for me.

I, honestly, was shocked to see A & E workers laughing on TV about their patients' problems. . We NEVER ever even talked about parecentesis, amputation, cancer, catastrophic problems outside of closed doors. I cannot get over it. The giggling on camera is what offended me the most. These patients need help. I totally understand gallows humor behind the scenes, because I was there, but on television? You people know better. The doctors appear respectful and able. Anyone else on this show does not. I hope I never end up in a U K hospital with you clowns in charge. I feel sick. I am really sad. I never thought that you doctors were leaving a bunch of passive aggressive twits in charge.

I was having insomnia and looking for a limited episode documentary. Instead I fell head over heels for 24 Hours in A&E. This is just such a wonderful series. Much of it focuses on the staff at the hospitals and how they feel about their jobs and patients. Some stories are sad, some are happy but the loving care the doctors and nurses provide is the story. Highly recommend but you'll bespeaking with a British accent after a few seasons!

Every episode filmed at Kings had me riveted and i binged on each season really craving more. Not sure what happened when they switched hospitals but the difference was impossible to overlook. Nothing about the other episodes even got much of my attention and they began to drag on so badly I knew I was soon going to abandon the rest of the series. The Drs were not as interesting, cases were mainly injuries, etc that most folks could easily figure out and maybe even fix things in a general doctor's office. No need to go sit for hours at a busy AE facility.

After all my complaints I hope folks give the series a try . No need to whine about blood, etc. After all you know that is coming. Gave it a ten several shows in then had to digress because the other facilities really dropped the ball. Will rewatch several seasons as I tended to miss things first round.
