[puddicat]

cant believe no one is watching this, could be ure son or daughter

I thought it was brilliant puddicat, and it just goes to show how much crap the hospital staff have got to put up with, including the cost to the NHS for people getting drunk and fighting.

Pity that Lady doctor/nurse who gave her views couldn't be allowed to say the same to the Politicians like she did tonight on camera.

Looking forward to the rest of the series, its an eye opener.

Oh i watched it puddi and it took me back to an awful time when i had to get my terminally ill husband rushed in during a crisis, a nurse said wait but the ambulance crew took him straight through and gave a brief history, we were out within an hour in a morphine haze bless them. Tonights programme was sad in a way my girls had their moments but nothing like that. I think i might have been worse but no A&E

I watched it too, with my teenage daughter and her friend.It was definately an eye opener...A reflection of todays society perhaps..scary..

What done my head in most was the mother of the 16 year old girl who had just came out the pub...Obscene...that pub should have a wee visit from the licensing board..

Good show though and I am looking forward to seeing the rest of it..

Sorry relevant to the programme i meaant the waiting room was full of the usual

[Mamyalynne]

I think it should be shown in schools

[clydeserani]

I think showing it in schools would be a great idea....I took a bottle of Buckfast off 12 + 13 year olds who were drinking it outside my house..I then told most of the parents...5 of 7..sadly one dad told me to F*** Off and stop grassing on his kid..shamefull..

It's scary because it's so true to life!

I couldn't believe the 19 year old girl who was drunk and walked out in the road and got run over by a taxi. She was given an overdose by hospital staff (inadvertently). They brought her back to life .. twice .. and two months later she laughed and said, while a nurse was bandaging her legs, "at least I only spent �20 and got a free lift to hospital in an ambulance and it wasn't even my �20 " ... And she had two kids. Disgraceful. I felt sorry for the couple whose son died, they didn't look chavvy at all. These people should be left on the streets to sober up and heal their own wounds. Just pour some cold water on them, they will soon get up and walk home.

i watched this last night and was not shocked to see what was going on, im currently training to be a nurse and see it all the time. my personall opinion is that people who get so past it drunk that they end up requireing hospital treatment should be fined of made to pay for their treatment as thay have knowenly put themselves in that position, same goes to the people who start the fights. Maybe then they would think about there consequenses more.

It was a very good programme and I agree with all the previous answers. I watched it with my 25 year old daughter, who enjoys a night out but would never get herself in such a state.
I couldn't help saying to her, that when I was in my teens and 20's, we would go out for a drink, and at 10.30, that was IT, the pubs closed and you went home! At a weekend we would may be go to a night club, but that was expensive to get in to and the drinks were pricey too.
Instead of pontificating about trying to create a "continental culture" in Britain and the pathetic claim that people would not gorge themselves on drink before the 10.30 closedown, but "step" their intake, has been proven to be absolutely, not working.
Change the law and close the pubs at 10.30 again. It can only help!!!
