    The pressures of working in emergency medicine is forcing increasing numbers of doctors out of the system or overseas. Here we see how the busiest A&E department in the UK, at Queen's hospital in Romford, east London, relies on locums, part-time doctors and on recruiting staff from abroad. Days after being put into special measures following a Care Quality Commission report, the Guardian filmed for 15 days at Queen's A&E department Warning: some users may find images in this film distressing 'This is why doctors are leaving the NHS - inside Britain's busiest A&E

    People complaining that the team didn't do enough for that child clearly don't have any knowledge of these situations.
    1. Only 10% of patients that require cardiopulmonary resuscitation survive.
    2. Asystole, which the child was in, is when no signs of life are coming from the heart, this mean even defibrillators won't restart the heart only compressions and adrenaline can be used to try to restart the heart, the fact that they continued as long as they did went above and beyond what was possible.
    3. Talking from experience try working in these circumstances they are not being slow they are remaining calm to do this is extremely difficult.
    Just because it's not the same as casualty doesn't mean they are doing it wrong. They are professionals.

      Correct! Common people are so used to the medical drama they see on TV. It happens in real life if the staff is inexperienced. There is more to it than what you see.

      Agreed! I'm not a doctor or anything like that, I'm just an ordinary pleb. A pleb who witnessed paramedics try and resuscitate my dad. They pronunced him deceased sadly but I could see they did their best and I'll always be grateful.
      They also did bloody well to travel some 60 miles in 25 minutes! (Yes I was doing cpr) Who'd of thought that tranny vans (or was it a merc sprinter?) Could go so fast? And especially over Sutherland's not-the-best-roads.

      Echo 9970 thank you. I'd be lying if I said I didn't worry about breaking one of his ribs but I decided it was a necessary risk, cruel to be kind. I followed the instructions given to me by the 999 operator to the letter (and my first aid education from school).
      The operator was a fantastic woman, tolerated my bad language, no I didn't swear at anyone or the operator. But I don't want to call the 999 ever again.
      I think it would help if people would at least acknowledge the very real possibility of death. I did, and that helped me.

    As a porter at Queens hospital who does some shifts in A&E from time to time, I can vouch that our A&E can be extremely busy. We can have a team of 10 porters and not one of us sits down, we're all out doing whatever we can. Thankfully I usually work in Theatres so it isn't so bad, but no matter where we are, we all work well as a team.

      She could potentially have a mental health issue, so insulting her isn't any better than her insulting the nurse.

    The real trouble that ERs today have is a money hungry society. Back 40/50 years ago, you had your neighborhood GP who saw you from the day you were born till the day you died.
    If you were poor, you had free clinics you could go to and some hospitals even had dental clinics. If you had a mental health issue, they could send you to a psychiatric hospital for treatment.
    Now, the message is, no money, no treatment and most docs won't see medicare/Medicaid patients because what they pay has been cut drastically The closer you can get to mental health services is the 72 hour psychiatric hold. That's why ERs are such a mess now.
