A tourist requires emergency treatment after a sea dive goes catastrophically wrong, leaving him with a broken arm. The subsequent operation to repair the injury is jeopardised by obstructive holiday insurers who delay and complicate the necessary proper medical care.

Adam's Broken Arm is a programme classified as an episode. It falls within the broader category of television programmes and is presented in a format that follows a single, self‑contained story rather than a series‑long arc. The episode follows a tourist who, after a sea dive goes disastrously wrong, requires immediate emergency treatment. The injury leaves the traveller with a broken arm, and the necessary operation to repair it becomes jeopardised by holiday insurers who prove obstructive and uncooperative. The narrative concentrates on the clash between urgent medical needs and the bureaucratic hurdles posed by the insurers. As the tourist seeks to have the operation carried out, the insurers’ resistance creates a further complication, putting the timely restoration of the arm at risk. The story therefore highlights how a seemingly routine holiday mishap can quickly turn into a medical and administrative crisis.
