24 Hours in A&E Season 12 Episode 6
Seventy-year-old George is rushed to A&E with driftwood stuck in his left eye. He was bailing out rainwater from his boat moored on the Thames when he fell and impaled his eye on a piece of driftwood. His partner Irene rushed to the scene to find paramedics attempting to stem the flow of blood from George’s eye. She says: ‘I nearly fainted a couple of times, it was like something out of a horror movie.’ Doctors become increasingly concerned about whether George could lose sight in the eye. Debby, who’s 59, has cut her hand in her lawnmower while removing some grass cuttings, after becoming distracted by thinking about her son’s upcoming wedding: ‘whether my pink hat matched the rest of my pink outfit, whether pink was right anyhow, there’s so much to think about.’
