| Summary |
*This program depicts emergency medical situations*In the penultimate episode of Outback ER, 25-year-old Dr Alex Rack feels the pressure of working in a regional emergency department when James is rushed in with a chronic lung infection. As Dr Alex works to stabilise him, a second trauma patient arrives in ED. Velma has fallen and hit her head, causing a possible bleed on the brain. Alex is stretched as he attends to both critically ill patients.Station owner Richard has driven over 200km to Broken Hill Hospital after gashing his finger while fixing a windmill. Dr Alex's examination shows the injury is far worse than expected, requiring delicate hand surgery. This is a job normally requiring highly specialised surgeons, but in Broken Hill Hospital Alex must deal with it on his own.Tony had a motorbike accident while travelling at 80km/h on a dirt road. The impact destroyed his helmet, but Tony had relatively minor injuries... or so he thought. Since the accident he has developed a headache, and it's been getting worse. Eleven days later he finds himself in hospital with an unbearable headache.Fourteen-year-old Patrick is brought into emergency after suffering a violent seizure. He has spent his whole life in and out of hospital, but the cause of the seizures remains a mystery. Patrick's parents are frustrated at not getting the same specialist treatment for their son that a major city hospital could provide.PRODUCTION DETAILS:A Screentime (a Banijay Group company) production for ABC TV made with the financial assistance of Screen Australia and Screen NSW.
