Summary |
" From the heart of one of the most famous locations in the world comes Kings Cross ER: St Vincent’s Hospital. A real life drama like you’ve never seen before. Set in one of the busiest and most unique Emergency Departments in the country, the world class St Vincent’s Hospital is just a stone’s throw away from Sydney’s pumping CBD and it’s entertainment underbelly, Kings Cross. The ER’s proximity to the heart of the city and to it’s darker side, provides both the sheer volume of cases and eye opening reality for the most diverse patient population of any emergency department in Australia. St Vincent’s is the place where James Packer landed when he was flung from his horse, where John Ibrahim was treated after he was stabbed, where Marianne Faithfull was treated after an overdose and where Kerry Packer came after his heart attack. Through its doors walk everyone from rock stars to celebrities, business moguls and the homeless - and all are in need of urgent care. An extraordinary team of doctors, nurses and specialist consultants pull together to perform life saving surgery. They treat multiple stab wounds, gun shot injuries, alcohol-fuelled head traumas , drug overdoses, car crash casualties and everything in between. There’s nothing this hi-calibre team can’t handle. The work is exhilarating and exhausting; the pace, relentless." -- website |
