Nurse's Fight for Survival - 24 Hours in A&E - Medical Documentary 

Mental health nurses are tough. But we don’t deserve to be assaulted doing our job. ❤❤ hope she recovers psychologically ❤

that nurse and so many others like her putting themselves in dangerous situations to help others are the unsung heroes of society

My sister worked with mentally ill adults,was choked,punched,kicked,and despite having breast cancer still worked there,hope this young lady isn't scarred

The poor lady suffering such horrible burns is heartbreaking!

The lady with the burns won the lottery for partners, what a lovely couple.

Burn pain is some of the worst. I feel so sorry for this woman. Mental Health patients shouldn’t have access to boiling water. Hope they got charged with a crime.

I was a nurse for 40 years before I retired and violence from patients or their family members increased over the years. My roommate had a patient throw hot tea on her face because she was angry about not getting a meal as soon as she arrived to the ward from the ER. She was not mentally ill. We are trained to watch out for violence from patients who are mentally unstable or confused from their disease process, but it is hard to understand why people abuse those who are trying to help them.

I love how the lady says that her pregnancy was delightful right up till her birth and then it went “” slightly downhill 😂 she’s far too polite

I'm in tears for the suffering Christie has had to heal from her burns. I had a big steam burn on my arm and it was so hard to get treated everyday. God Bless her! Such a sweet beautiful nurse!

When I was a kid many years ago, my father would yell at us kids if we hurt ourselves while playing. He put so much fear into us that one time I fell and walked around for two weeks with a broken arm before I had the guts to tell him. I'll take that mother any time.

that nurse is a saint for working with mental health patients. it takes a very strong person to work with those kinds of people.

I also work at a psychiatric hospital. Christy has suffered one of my biggest fears. Being “gassed” is no joke. I’m so sorry she went through this. I’m also thankful that she is recovering well. After being kicked in the stomach and burned, I’m surprised she went back. I was injured, and am still off work. I hope she does well in her chosen field.

These people deserve to be paid alot more

My then 7yr old son had stitches in his back rip open and I had to take him back to the drs to have it all redone (it had been a mole removal). So the local anaesthetic had to go into the open wound and he was not pleased. Calming him did not work at all, and I have to add that from birth he was the most chilled and placid easy going boy. In the end, all bribes attempted not having worked, I had to pin him down (while crying as I felt so bad) and he fought like mad but it was the only thing that could be done to fix this big gaping hole in his back. Once the local anaesthetic worked he was fine but I know that it hurt like heck before that. He was an angel getting the stitches and we went straight to the toy shop and got some presents for him, he had been so good. But it was very traumatic for him and he remembers it as though it was yesterday and he now 33. You cannot mollycoddle then for everything, it’s not easy but you just have to do it.

With little ones there comes a time after offers of toys and food you just have to do what is needed. 🙂

I think she was a good mom and was letting the doctor do what he could with the least amount of trauma. If the doctor was worried about permanent damage to the eye he would of taken control quickly. I like that they were patient with the little boy.

shout out to the nurse with the purple outfit, very calming with her patients

11:44 I really feel for the nurse who was burned 😢. On my 15th birthday I was opening presents and an explosion rocked my house from the garage where my dad was fixing someones car. His whole body was on fire above his head down to his feet. He was a fireman in our small community and most of my family are first responders. So needless to say everyone came they already knew where we lived. After fireman threw my sis and I out of the house the garage was attached to. He looked as though he'd been through a meat shredder. Most of his body was 3rd degree or worse, as my mom led him through the house his clothes and skin were melting off, and starting little fires my friends stomped them out. Thank the Lord my Birthday is in February and we had just gotten a lot of snow so my mom pushed him backward into the fluffy snow and covered his body with it. That coupled with the fire chief already having the water truck out and running doing his daily checks he got the call saving precious time, as well as everyone knowing where to go. Initially, my sis grabbed me and said our cat had gone upstairs above the fire we had to go find him. I had no shoes on and my feet were starting to burn. The fire had gotten to the wood the rug was nailed to. I bent down to look under the bed and had a vision of falling down into the fire. At this point we could barely see or breathe, so I ran back out to the top of the steps were I met my sis again. She screamed jump (down the staircase) before I could comprehend what she had said she grabbed my hand and we were falling down the stairs, when a smaller explosion threw us off the rest of the steps. I fireman picked us up one under each arm and pushed us out the door. That's when I saw dad without the fire, wrapped in a towel around his waist, he was staring at his hands which were practically meat and bones. Thank God for him having very calloused hands and having steel toed boots on or he would have lost them all. His legs looked as though someone had just pulled his flesh and muscles off. He was taken by helicopter to Allentown. He did survive but with burns and skin grafts everywhere and lots of time to recover. I still have nightmares and have the worst phobia of fire. It was all the little things that saved him. Even my Grammy had gone for a walk when it happened or she most likely would have had a heart attack. My dad took the medivac helicopter twice but only came back once. The last time was an aortic embolism, I got to talk to him, that was the first and last time my dad said goodbye when he got off the phone. He had always said goodbye is forever so he always said see ya later or something like that. I didn't realize how much he had taught me until he was gone. But at least my daughters and I got to say goodbye, most people don't get that. RIP Daddy! 😢❤

Feel for the girl with the burns. I had similar burns plus arms and hands. The pain was horrible. So glad she healed and retained her beauty.

All who work in the ER (especially Friday night or a full mpon) are special ppl. God bless you all. 🙏 ❤

Nathan is such a genuine and lovely man ❤

Joe, the guy who got stabbed, I feel kind of sorry for him. His cousin seems like a very immature person who's waving a knife like a maniac just to show off.

I have had third degree burns on my hand , 28 years ago and I can still feel how painful that was. Seeing her so ravaged is so horrible.

As a psych nurse myself I have had my share of situations that could have gone bad quickly. You learn appropriate med admin and keeping a safe environment. I had my labor induced when an impulsive handicapped young boy hit me in the stomach. It wasn’t done intentionally and I had to bring my baby outside to the inclosed fence so he could see she and I were okay. I have dealt with detoxing patients and at the same time have gained amazing memories from my experience. Even working medical a nurse can be injured badly by patients. I wouldn’t trade my 45 years of nursing for anything.

Nurse Christie..wishing you a speady recovery from all the Australian Nightingales 💝

Being a nurse is so scary 😢 I’ve been hit, spit on, grabbed and pulled into their bed working on the neuro floor and in psych and I’m disabled from having six strokes so I can’t defend myself as I should. That poor nurse but she has an amazing support system.

I feel so bad for that young nurse getting boiling water thrown at her. I’m glad that her boyfriend stayed with her throughout the whole ordeal. I don’t think mental patients should be allowed to get their hands on things like knives or forks or boiling water. I think that their utensils should be plastic and the kitchen totally locked up. I hope that the nurse is doing really good now.

Never, never, never could I do what first responders or those in medicine do. I SALUTE YOU! 🙏

I get that he's only 2 years old, but for Pete's sake, hold his head back, open his eye and be done with it. So what if he cries a bit? My goodness

I feel so sorry for Freddie but I think mom needed to be a little more aggressive with him for the doctor.

So great to see you healed Christie!! You're a great person!! ❤😍

I'm so confused how a patient had access to boiling water

Danke für Ihre wundervolle Arbeit 🙏🫶🙋🏻‍♀️

THE PHRASE AT THE BEGGINING????? OMG ¨Life is not a singular thing, things that happend to you have a huge effect on the people around you" well Damn

If I get senile I want Christie for my nurse and I promise to be good to her. And I want her eyelashes!

Such a wonderful program, thank you!

I got 2nd degree burns from boiling water and I was wearing flannel pj’s. The flannel kept in the heat. I screamed and my mom ran to me, threw me in the shower and ripped off the flannel. My skin came off with my pants 😭 worst pain of my entire life. Apparently I started to go into shock. My mom took me to regular GP Dr and they turned me away saying it was too severe. Urgent care took me right away. The pain relief shot was the best thing of my life. Burns are no joke.

Love this show so much

The cousin that stabbed that young man needs a psych evaluation, and sue him to boot!!! I hope the burn lady heals well.

I really enjoy this series. I have learned so much from every episode. So much respect for the entire staff. ❤

Even with your burns your a really pretty girl ,hope you have a good outcome 🙏💜🙏💜🙏💜🙏💜🙏💜🙏💜

Burns are no joke. I've had boiling water and chemical burns. The pain is other wordly!😢

It's very heart breaking to this poor nurse who will survive this

I had bad burns from boiling water and just watching this is giving me PTSD

I wish you upload episodes every day❤

The little boy is so cute and i feel for him, i got my cornea scratch by my rabbit when i was 8 cause i picked her up wrong and she started kicking, not fun to have a scratch on your eye, but it was fun to be a pirate for 2 days while it healed!

I‘m at nursing school and hope, that this will never happen to me 😭 get well soon, dear Christie ❤️🍀

It's quite concerning that people commenting think that doctors and nurses should hold a child down and force open his eyelid obviously don't know about consent and not frightening a child even more than he already was. In healthcare we must get consent first, whether adult or child

Christie looks great! Good for her and hope she has a great life!

Freddie’s mom needs to be A LOT more assertive. Gentle of course, but she needs to also realize she’s not doing her kid any favors by being like that.

That poor lady could they not have put cling film on before they did, it’s the air getting to the burn hurts like hell.

Couldn't they have given the poor guy some pain meds before sticking their finger into his wound?!

I loved watching Paul O'Grady's shows, too. He has such a soft heart.🥰

Thank you for my favorite series! ❤

Seems if they knew a person was coming in with bad burns, they would have pain meds ready immediately 😬. Burns like that are so horribly painful 😢

I know that in the West Virginia University psychiatric facility, there is a ward for patients who are non-compliant or potentially violent. They do not have access to boiling water. I have such admiration for that nurse. I hope that she recovers well.

I received 3rd degree sunburn on my legs over 50 years ago. Excruciating painful and still have scars and skin discoloration. Never got sunburned like that again. Once was quite enough!

Freddie- time to hug him and hold his hand down and let them look while humming in his ear. Cmon already.

I used to have a flat in London and I loved it. But I truly needed a translator half the time, especially when we’d go to Scotland or Ireland. Used to make me crazy, sort of like living in the south in the US.

Change in policy at the place where Christi works, no patient interaction with boiling hot liquid at hand.

Poor little Freddy. Eye pain is so horrific

How does a hospital not have burn packs??? Who the hell is in charge of medical supplies?!?

Where did this person get the hot water? I had a patient try to break my finger and took the nail of the nail bed. Bless her.

I’d like to see these without people talking about the childhood of the patients. I’m interested in the medical cases, not the private life of the people involved. Like: what can I do with information such as the time the lady went into labour? Why?

Beautiful Christie,,prayers 🙏🏼😢

The men seem to scream and cry,the women face pain with dignity.

Appreciate your nurses people--ESPECIALLY your mental health nurses. They face potential threats or abuse of some kind every day and are expected to just get right back at it :/

Joe seems like an awesome guy, especially after the lack of parenting. Glad he's ok. He's more forgiving than I would be if someone randomly stabbed me.

Young Christie is such a beautiful young lady. I was matched to the acute psych unit on my first nursing job. They give you a survey and then match you to a position that coincides with the answers you give. You don’t know that when it’s given. I was quite surprised, I wanted to take care of babies. But I loved it. I found the work incredibly interesting. I loved talking to my patients. I spent a lot of time with them on the day shift. Night shift sucked. A lot of abuse happens on psych wards. Both by and to the patients. I was kicked by a delusional patient, it took months for my leg to heal and the hematoma to resolve. The patient apologized after coming back to reality. And I still loved my job. I understand how Christie feels, it takes a special kind to work on a psych unit, which is what they told me when they hired me. But I didn’t tolerate patient abuse. I reported it if I saw it or knew it happened.

You can only support her. She doing something she loves. 38:58

I can't believe for the guy with the stab wound, the doctor just shoved his finger in the wound yo measure its depth and path!! Give the guy dome drugs first! Or numb the area! It'll need stitches anyway! If someone said "We need to have a look at your wound, is that ok?" I'd think they wanted to see how large it appears, and how much blood there is. Not that they're gonna stick something in my raw excruciating wound!

Mental illness does not mean you can seriously assault someone. The person that did this should be prosecuted...

I get so emotional watching these videos

Thank you ❤

Christie does not deserve the violence being acted against her while she's trying to help people... 😢 Being kicked, having her hand smashed, and now the boiling water. Poor lady.

👏👏👏👏👏 todos da equipe médica vcs são importantes demais

The psych nurse has my love. As a CNA it is so hard to see stuff like that.

If it’s in you to be a psych nurse, then you’re a psych nurse. It’s a calling folks.

I remember one time and I know this is lame, but I spilled a really, really really hot drink in my lap. I know how bad that hurts. I can only imagine what she’s going through.

That poor girl. The pain shd must have been in.

Great way to start my day.

Thank you for sharing these!

Nathan has obviously never been taught Knives are not toys. I hope Christie recovered well.

Why can a mentally unstable patient, get access to boiling hot water !!,

The young man Joe looks just like his baby picture.

Why didn't they hurry to get her to a burn unit? Why did she even get at Saint George's in the first place? Burns are complicated and need fast treatment.

Christie's mom is lovely

Here in the US,it’s gunshot wounds,rarely any stabbings. Poor little guy😢. What a Brave boy,Freddie! So cute! And that poor girl who got burned! How does a psych patient have access to boiling water?!?

Doesn’t the person in the hospital bed get to pick the food? Let Joe order Lebanese food!

9:39 was this even in english

I worked as general assistant in a large psychiatric hospital at weekends in 1967/1968. I didnt work in any areas with violent patients. I remember most patients being very medicated. I knew a surgeon who specialised in treating burns victims and doing reconstructive surgery he worked at the Chelsea and Westminster hospital. Unfortunately he died in road accident in 2004 His name was Brian Louglin

Geez😂the frickin phones!

Why would they wait overnight to clean a stab wound? Delaying allows infection to take hold. 😮

Lmaooo the end where they were arguing about where to get food was so relatable 😂 too frustrating when you just want some REAL food and the person you’re with keeps pushing McDonald’s (or in this case kfc) 😂

Not sure how patient had access to boiling water, maybe for making tea, of course could do the same thing with hot coffee

You have a new sub and likes for every video!

God bless her💜🙏😇❤️

I love that man’s comments about just the way that they met. I mean, it’s kind of how I view people yes there are extremely attractive people out there that’s true, but I’ve come to learn that attraction is on the inside

Y’all are a lot more patient and gentle with your children than American doctors, they would have held that little boy down and made him scream to look in his eye.

That cousin doesn't look remorseful at all for stabbing his cousin. I think there is more to this story than they are telling. A game of Mumbly Peg perhaps?
