Trauma: Level One

Featured in the first episode are:

Andrew Davies, a 25-year-old who was thrown head-first from a minibus when it rolled over on the motorway. He has multiple injuries, but most concerning are his spinal injuries, as he is unable to feel or move his legs. Doctors fear his injuries will be life-changing.

Michael McCallum, a 14-year-old who is rushed into resuscitation with serious head and chest injuries following a road accident on his paper round. After showing positive signs, Michael suddenly goes into cardiac arrest and doctors have to open him up to try to save his life.

Simon Parsons, who is airlifted to the trauma centre after his motorcycle hit central reservation barriers at speed. His right leg sustains one of the most severe muscle damage injuries the orthopaedic teams have seen and surgeons have to make the decision whether to save it.
