The poor pair with the burns.

The Father and Daughter relationship is beautiful. I wish my Father was like him. I'm so envious. His DD is so lucky.

Good god. Just watching it on plus one now as I missed the beginning. Blubbing like a baby. Poor wee thing. I am a medical student and want to go into paeds but sometimes I seriously wonder how I would cope with seeing little ones in pain. Think I would spend half the time in tears. Sad

You'll toughen gradually @ suddenly. Go for it.

I don't know if I'd want to toughen though iyswim? I hate it when I see drs who have no empathy. But maybe that's what you have to do to stay sane. Think the staff on 24hrs are excellent though. Smile

I nearly cried when he had those 3 little ones on a trampoline without a safety net Shock
You'd have thought the family would be a little more safety concious after all Confused

You'll toughen in a professional way while still being empathetic. If you're the professional you can't be in tears as you need to sort the problem out. You cry afterwards.

SMG I think you learn to focus on the patient and deal with it later

I loved Daisy and her dad. I also loved the Dad with dementia and his lovely son!! The son was very sweet and sad about his dads dementia.

Mrsjay · 26/07/2012 00:49

DD had it on I just caught it I was also crying at the old man with dementia well that is what started me off , thought daisy and her dad were wonderful what a lovely man

MrsJohnMurphy · 26/07/2012 01:35

Oh I dunno, the lack of a fire guard, then the lack of a guard around the trampoline in the last shot with her little brothers, . I fear they will be spending more time in A&E.

Not watched it yet (have it recorded) but the start titles where he says " you know what happens when things get bad, daddys here" set me AND DP off every time!!

ZillionChocolate · 27/07/2012 17:35

I'm just catching up with this and "you know what happens when things get bad, daddys here" has had me in tears too.

Daisy's dad is Damian, lets be nice about Damians.

I cried nearly all the way through this episode- and I am NAILS. Honestly.

Even my ovaries did a little twang when he said he was never sure he'd have children because he wasn't sure he'd find a woman willing to take him on. Envy
He was just the perfect father. My dad- who was lovely in his own way- would have popped out for a fag about 70 times and needed tranqs himself.

singaporeswing · 27/07/2012 18:15

Set me off last night, I'm living at home at the moment and have a stinking summer cold. My Dad is running round after me, tucking blankets round my feet, bringing me drinks and tissues without saying a word, because he is bloody brilliant. I'm a very lucky daughter.

BBwolefs · 27/07/2012 18:43

It was a heartening episode to watch such a lovely bond, made me miss my dad more, altho he would have tried to Make a joke i imagine Grin

ShellyBoobs · 27/07/2012 19:22

altinkum - I automatically thought about you when I was watching Daisy and her dad.

Best wishes to you DS for his latest surgery. x

Seeing how lovely Daisy's dad was and how selfless he was in disregarding his own injuries, I was a sobbing mess too.

Now I'm imagining how wonderful it must be to grow up with a great dad and feeling so content in the knowledge that my OH is a wonderful man and an amazing dad to our DD.

Bloody hell, I must be making people vomit. Grin
