The scariest cases that the staff at St George’s have to deal with — and the most frightening for us to watch unfold, too — are those when the most serious problems aren’t immediately obvious.

Adam, a 39-year-old bus driver, has a visible injury to his leg after he collided with a car while riding his motorbike — but consultant Rhys is more worried about potentially life-threatening internal injuries. And 12-year-old Tulsi — who hit her head when she fell from a cliff — needs an urgent CT to decipher what’s going on inside her skull.

Fortunately for retired mechanic Ron, his problem is obvious: his hand has ballooned after being crushed between two cars.
