Set on the front line of Emergency Medicine, 'Adrenalin Junkies'
takes us into Bethlehem West Emergency Ward, and into the world
of critical medical situations. It is here that lives are saved or lost,
and the big decisions, the right decisions have to be made...fast.
They specialise in the evacuation of disaster areas, no matter how
remote, and regions where a chopper is the only means of rescue.
They're also in the city streets and the suburbs; they have to deal
with the patients, their families and loved ones; the police and the
Emergency Services.
This dedicated medical team, the Adrenalin Junkies, live in the
demanding yet fragile world of emergency medicine...everyday of
the year. It's unpredictable, it's exciting and to survive, you have to
be brilliant, make snap decisions in high stress situations and try not
to burn out. This hard-hitting series delves into their work, and also
into their private lives...their reality.
Emergency:- a sudden state of danger. The adrenalin hit of not
knowing what's going to happen next. It is under this extreme
pressure that the “junkies” thrive, and defying the odds brings them
the greatest satisfaction.
Ride with them, work with them, live with them.
It's not a job, it's an addiction. |
