Channel 4's 24 Hours in A&E left viewers heartbroken during the first show of the program's new series as a 92-year-old received a heartbreaking diagnosis. The first episode, titled 'Tales of the Unexpected', was filmed in Nottingham's Queen's Medical Centre in 2021, and aired last night (January 3).
Perhaps the most emotional storyline of the episode comes after 92-year-old John is admitted to resus due to breathing struggles. While tests were being carried out his wife Florence was by his side, who throughout the show told viewers about their relationship, Nottinghamshire Live reports.
The tests unfortunately found that John had sepsis, and that nothing could be done about it. The decision was made that he would be put on end-of-life care, with the awful job of telling Florence falling to Anju.
