24 Hours in A&E doctor faces race against time to save teenager in special episode

The next episode of 24 Hours in A&E airs tonight (Monday 10 July) - and features the case of a 16-year-old boy with sepsis. Reporter Rebecca Sherdley spoke to the doctor who treated him

Nottingham-born Dr Philip Dykes treated 16-year-old Kaeden who was rushed into Queen’s Medical Centre with complex medical needs after developing a fever at home. Dr Dykes, from Leicestershire, suspected sepsis and worked to find the cause.
