Episode 2

This episode looks at Northampton General's A&E department, where unprecedented numbers of patients are putting junior doctors under increasing pressure. Morgan is only one year out of medical school and on her first ever stint in A&E. She wears her heart on her sleeve, and is understandably nervous about being thrust into the thick of a bustling emergency department. Within her first three months, the hospital - like so many A&E departments - has been pushed onto black alert as it reaches capacity and is simply unable to take in more patients. Morgan has to juggle looking after patients with taking care of herself and not letting it all overwhelm her.
