Hospital

[purpleme12]

Anytime watch tonight?
I haven't watched
I cried so much when the man got better and then when the woman made her speech at the end

Ok that 2nd sentence was actually supposed to say I haven't watched any programmes about covid but I love Hospital so thought I'd watch this

Was so willing them to recover, Peter was lovely and so accepting of the potential limitations. Very humbling.

I think everyone should watch the next episode what an outstanding hospital team.

Yes he was so accepting wasn't he
Mind you I'm sure he said he signed this dnr thing years ago before all this

OMG I didn’t know it was on!! 😱

You can catch it on iPlayer it's just a 2 episode special focusing on covid

I have a family member who works on those wards. Was quite shocked there weren't more threads about this.

It was amazing. They're all incredible

Bloody brilliant series, am recording both of the Corona episodes, so not reading the whole thread...

It was brilliant.

Oh I didn't realise this was on, I love Hospital, thanks for highlighting, I'll find it on catch up.

It is a brilliant programme. I've avoided all the programmes about covid but I'll watch Hospital

Made me realise just how lucky my trust has been. We've not been as bad as that. And too be honest we've spent the last 7 weeks twiddling our thumbs as we've have very little to do.

Pete and Nancy were just amazing.

Same here - I haven't watched any tv recently, apart from the news, but luckily caught a trailer for this the other day.

Really excellent programme, both these specials and the usual series. So pleased Pete and Nancy survived.

They are brilliant there. I will watch it later on.

A great watch, looking forward to tonights episode

It was excellent, and although they weren't mentioned it explained to me why the government put so much money and energy into the Nightingales and overflow mortuaries, it must have seemed at that stage of the crisis that the situation was going to absolutely overwhelm them. Thank heaven it didn't, and that lockdown slowed things down, but it makes you realise that although things have been awful, and that many people have probably lost their lives that need not have done, things could have been a whole lot worse.

The patients they focussed on were extremely lucky to have survived, and I wish them well. It was so sad to see them in their isolated rooms, fully aware of their situation and possible outcomes.

I was also struck by how awful those tight fitting exclusion masks must be to wear, the marks they left looked agonising, the thought of wearing them for an hour , let alone a whole shift ,made me feel very claustrophobic.

Stanley 's sats new oxygen tanks, container mortuary ...very scary

Poor Stanley, but Hussein, wow, one lucky man. Wishing him a full recovery.

It was interesting seeing the hospital so empty too

I'm absolutely in awe of what the staff there were achieving, in the face of such difficulty. Amazing documentary.

They got the oxygen in fucking quick, didn't they.

I live very near to the RFH I saw a planning permission application on the council's emails for two more oxygen tanks. Those massive ones I assume.

I love this programme anyway, but the staff are just amazing in these two episodes. Stanley was such a brave man. I really felt for him knowing what was going to happen and his wife hoping against hope. The transplant guy was incredible, but he didn't really look that bad before he went off to icu, although of course he was with his sat readings.
This programme needs to be aired at prime time. People who disbelieve Covid need to see its real.
