The first episode left viewers bursting with pride and this week's show was no different, with the audience cheering on Sunderland docker Jason as he took his first steps to recovery.
The 51-year-old broke his back after a large pallet fell on top of him at work and was left unable to move his legs due to compression on his spinal cord.
The dad-of-five had emergency surgery on his spine but was unable to walk since his accident.
However, Monday night's episode of Geordie Hospital captured the emotional moment neurophysiotherapist Rachel Stout helped Jason to walk for the first time.
There weren't many dry eyes amongst those who watched grandad Jason express his gratitude saying, "Thank you very very much. You don't know how much it means to me. Best day of my life. "
Viewers took to Twitter to share their pride, with Elena Rose saying: "Totally elated and wrecked. Tears of joy for Jason and the neurophysiotherapist! One step at a time leads to lots of steps later."
Lou Gallie said: "Oh my goodness, watching this has me in tears! Happy tears, knowing exactly how he feels!
"And what an awesome team he has behind him.
"I remember the excitement of my physios at University Hospitals Plymouth, they were so positive and inspiring."
Rebecca Bantoft said: "Geordie Hospital is just pure joy in a crazy world.
"I love the concept of spotlighting the unsung heroes, daily joy and kindness woven into the NHS. It’s not all doom and gloom."
Mel Gifford commented: "Neuro-physiotherapists are amazing.
"They got me back on my feet, walking upstairs just two weeks after my first devastating MS relapse which had left me totally paralysed from the waist down.
"They gave me hope, support and reassurance during a difficult time."
The second episode also saw eight-year-old Violet's life transformed by corrective surgery to her feet after suffering from a condition since birth that has affected the development of feet.
Her story tugged on the heartstrings of those watching as she spoke of how she was teased for tripping over her feet and just wanted to play outside with her friends.
Philip Henman, consultant orthopedic surgeon at the RVI, carried out Violet's successful surgery.
Twitter user lmetcalf1988 said: "The staff in these hospitals don't get enough recognition for what they do.
"I had brain surgery twice at the RVI in 2020 and All of the staff were amazing especially with what was going on at the time."
Carol Gilchrist added: "Another amazing set of staff. We are so lucky to have our NHS."
Everyone from porters to surgeons, dental surgeons, life-saving medics, and even a welfare dog will feature in Geordie Hospital as the show continues.
The whole series is now available to binge-watch on All4.
