Medical Emergency

Medical Emergency follows the raw emotion and life threatening decisions faced by patients and staff in the emergency department of The Alfred Hospital's Emergency and Trauma Centre in Melbourne.
Narrated by Chris Gabardi, it provides an insight into how patients and their concerned loved ones cope in extraordinary situations, including an occasional update on patients awaiting a lifesaving transplant operation. From basic wound injuries to major traumas and life threatening surgery, viewers are invited to take an unprecedented behind the scenes look at how emergency staff cope.
The spirit and strength of the patients really stands out: Australians who are fighting their illnesses or traumas with the support of their families' love, and often with a big dose of Aussie humour.
According to the program's Executive Producer, David Mason, such an innovative presentation of raw, real time footage of the experiences faced by staff and patients in the face of everyday medical emergencies transports "audiences directly into the Emergency Department for a first hand look at what goes on."
