24 Hours in A&E

Three pedestrians were taken to Queen's Hospital after a car left the road and mounted the pavement. The most seriously hurt is 18‑year‑old Mica, who is suspected of having head injuries. All three were admitted for assessment, observation and treatment.

The piece is a television episode from the series Queen’s, presented as a programme that follows the day‑to‑day activity of the hospital’s emergency department. It falls within the episode format, offering a snapshot of a particular shift and the cases that come through the doors. In this instalment, three members of the public are rushed to Queen’s after a vehicle leaves the road and climbs onto the pavement, striking them. The collision forces the three pedestrians to be admitted for urgent assessment and treatment, setting the scene for the medical team’s response. The most severely affected individual is an 18‑year‑old called Mica. On arrival, staff note that Mica shows signs that point to possible head trauma, prompting immediate attention to her neurological status. Her condition is highlighted as the most critical among the three victims. The remaining two pedestrians are also taken into care, receiving the standard emergency evaluation. While their injuries are not described in detail, they are managed alongside Mica, illustrating the department’s capacity to handle multiple casualties from a single incident. The episode therefore concentrates on the swift coordination required when several patients arrive together after a road‑related accident.
