Nope but I'd bet she was looking feeit? The excellent '24 Hours in A&E' was back last night. The kid who got a slow bleed on the brain after a bike accident made for great tv. It has a unique format at times by discussing with friends and relatives of patients who've had life threatening surgery and not knowing until late on in each episode whether they made it or not.
I did think it was going along an obvious route - two cyclists with head injuries both sustained going downhill at between 25 and 30mph (thats fast on a bike, believe me you don't want to fall off at those speeds, it makes a big mess), one is sat up in bed talking to anyone and everyone who passes by, the other is in a coma, one was wearing a helmet one wasn't, guess which one?
It even got my wife interested and she got really annoyed with me when I mentioned that there is a campaign among some cyclists to NOT make the wearing of helmets compulsory as they argue that it makes cyclists LESS safe - no I'm not quite sure how either but the argument goes something along the lines of "false sense of security", of which there is little.
But the other medical documentary about Great Ormond Street is just riveting viewing, the Irish surgeon was just incredible and the surgery they are performing on a daily basis is stunning, how the hell they go home and relax I just don't know.
