Episode 1 Countryside 999

From the Highlands of Scotland

to the coast of Cornwall,

the great British countryside is spectacular.

But we work and play in it at our peril.

And when things go wrong,

the emergency services race to the rescue.

This chap is having a heart attack and we need to get him in quickly.

SIREN WAILS

We've got a cow on the road.

Countryside policing at its finest, yeah!

Going hundreds of miles against the clock.

Battling the elements and braving the waves.

HE GROANS

From fields and forests to cliffs and country roads,

we'll be right at the heart of the action,

with police fighting crime...

I'm not arguing it. I'm reporting you for it.

..paramedics saving lives...

..and lifeguards patrolling the seas.

We're there as the emergency services pull together

to pick up, patch up and protect the public.

This is Countryside 999.

Coming up, in Dumfries and Galloway,

an ambulance team desperately search for an elderly man

who's had a serious fall.

Oh, this is a nightmare.

In Cornwall, it's double trouble

for the air ambulance crew called to two emergencies on the same beach.

We've let her go with the ambulance crew that's there. Now we can go

and attend this other lady which is just a bit further down the beach.

But first, they've got to clear the skies.

Attention, hang-glider.

And not far away in Penzance,

there's a touch of tenderness in the hospital's Urgent Care Centre.

Let me know when it hurts.

-So, apart from you...

-Ow!

-I'm so sorry.

Yeah, that hurt.

BIRDSONG

Dumfries and Galloway in south-west Scotland.

Mile after mile of rolling countryside

as far as the eye can see.

But it's not all forest and farmland.

There's also 200 miles of rugged coastline.

In the summertime,

it lures holidaymakers looking to stray off the beaten track.

But for the emergency services,

reaching the remote bays and beaches can be a tough ask.

When disaster strikes, they rely on their GPS

and local knowledge to get them where they need to be.

And if both of those let them down,

well, that's when the trouble really begins.

SIREN WAILS

Ambulance team Charlie Walker and Carol Ann McColm are on their way

to an accident involving a holidaymaker in his 80s.

He may have broken his hip after a fall on the beach.

He can't move and the tide's coming in - not a good situation.

So Carol Ann is hoping the coastguards can get in first,

but they're already out on another job.

It looks like they're on their own.

The crew have been told the casualty

is on a beach called Seawood,

supposedly close to the village of Borgue.

Not according to the sat-nav, it's not.

Neither of them has heard of the beach before,

so they're relying on their gadget to get them there.

Unfortunately, beaches don't come with a postcode.

I think according to our sat-nav, we're...

..not going the right way.

It's a maze of roads round about here.

You're never sure if you're on the exact right one.

And we all know that feeling.

But unhelpful sat-navs aren't the only problem facing country drivers.

Oh, man.

It could only happen on a country road.

Is Seawood Beach down here?

-Seaward Beach?

-Sea-WOOD.

-Seawood?

-I don't know, mate.

-Thank you.

-Cheers.

-Thank you.

-Cheers.

'It was not a location that we'd heard before'

so therefore we weren't sure where we were going, so as a result

we were relying on the sat-nav which we have in the vehicle.

Time is really ticking away,

and the patient is still without medical care.

See if there's anybody...

..on the beach.

-Will I just take a quick run down there?

-Aye.

Excuse me, sir!

You haven't heard any reports of someone falling at the beach,

-have you?

-No.

-Nothing at all?

It's now been almost an hour since the 999 call,

and the tide is coming in.

There's nobody here. It's not here.

You haven't heard a report of somebody injured on the beach,

-have you?

-On the beach?

-Yeah.

-No, I haven't heard anything.

-We've been from Carrick right along, and we can't locate them at all.

-No?

Seawood Beach? I know we've got Seaward, but we've got nothing.

-No, I've not heard anything.

-Thanks.

It was starting to get...

You're getting frustrated

because you know the person requires your help, requires treatment,

and they're lying on a shoreline and we're not getting there,

and within yourself, you start to worry about,

"How quickly am I going to manage to get there to aid this person?"

This has turned into the kind of call-out ambulance crews dread.

Oh, this is a nightmare.

Cornwall, like Dumfries and Galloway,

has a spectacular coastline.

Sandy shores, awesome surf and stunning clifftop views.

Smugglers' coves and secret beaches

make perfect hideaways for holidaymakers.

But it's got its fair share of hidden dangers.

Sheer cliffs, strong undercurrents

and fast incoming tides can easily catch out the unsuspecting tourist.

The pretty nooks and crannies can become lethal traps.

Cornwall's air ambulance plays a vital role

in reaching those in trouble,

responding to three or four emergencies every day.

Yeah.

On duty today, paramedic Mick McLaughlin has picked up a call.

OK, mate. On our way.

It's just, it's an access problem. A lady's fallen on the beach

and it's just a long way to get down to the beach.

There's a land ambulance on the way, but the steep cliff path

to the beach makes a rescue almost impossible.

Unless you've got one of these.

Today Mick is in the back

and up front is second paramedic Steve Garvey

and pilot Craig Webster.

They're heading right across the peninsula

from their base in Newquay

to Whitsand Bay near Plymouth.

The air ambulance crews are specifically trained

for this kind of stuff.

Reaching the places that other crews can't reach

is what this ambulance service is all about.

There's an update on the casualty.

-RADIO:

-Just a bit more information for you.

Yeah, roger, that's all received.

News that the casualty has got a head injury

makes the call-out more urgent than they originally thought.

But the steep cliffs mean the air ambulance crew

definitely have the advantage.

They spot the casualty on a rocky bit of the beach

but the helicopter needs a nice, flat place to land.

A decent-sized patch of firm sand nearby is just the job.

While the road ambulance crew wait at the top of the cliffs,

down on the beach,

extra help has arrived in the shape of some local lifeguards.

They and Steve make their way across the jagged rocks.

It's pretty treacherous underfoot,

as our unlucky lady has already found out.

Hi. All right?

And Steve is about to discover poor Janet's taken a nasty knock.

It's not quite the family day out she'd expected.

SIREN WAILS

In south-west Scotland,

ambulance technicians Charlie Walker and Carol Ann McColm

are blue-lighting to another shoreline emergency.

-But they're struggling to find their casualty.

-Excuse me, sir!

You haven't heard any reports of someone falling at the beach,

-have you?

-No.

-Nothing at all?

He's a man in his 80s

stranded on a beach somewhere that's not showing up on their sat-nav.

He has a suspected fractured hip and there's a rising tide.

It's getting desperate.

They've combed the area around Borgue, moving east

along the coast from Carrick Bay.

Time and tide wait for no man.

5010, we've scoured quite a large area at this location

and we're struggling to find anyone. Over.

'Roger. I'll try and call it back down,

'see if we can get a further location. Over.'

Finally, just as it all starts to seem hopeless,

they discover the right beach.

Hi, Dougie.

Yeah, I can see him, just over there.

-They sent us to Seawood.

-Aye.

-That's up...

If you go to that bin, it'll be easier to get a route through there.

OK, cheers.

Thankfully, the coastguards managed to get here first.

-Hello there.

-Hi.

Hello, John. I'm Carol Ann. What happened?

Right, OK.

-Two false knees, right.

-And I...

Which leg is it?

-The right leg.

-It's your right leg?

Aye, you can see it.

During his hour-long wait,

passers-by have already moved John up the beach twice

and without pain relief.

But with the water lapping at their heels, they need to move him again.

'The gentleman was wet and he was in pain.'

He also said he had pain at the top of his leg,

so we had to treat it as if he possibly had a fracture of his hip.

Even the slightest movement is excruciating.

Gas and air helps dull the pain.

We'll all get round him the now, use the canvas as a support,

-we'll put him on that.

-Move him back a bit.

Before we immobilise, just with the tide still coming in.

John, did you hear that, sir?

John, just take as much of that as you can.

-So that it'll numb the pain. OK?

-Aye.

One, two, and lift.

JOHN GROANS

That's you.

This is the third time John has been moved out of reach of the tide.

Even on the rigid stretcher and with pain relief,

it's really tough going,

and not just for John - for his wife Edith too.

It's just laughing gas, OK?

But John needs to hang in there a bit longer.

They still have to splint his leg and get him into the ambulance.

Coming up,

the race is on to rescue a second holidaymaker off the Cornish beach.

We're getting slightly time pressured now.

We've got an incoming tide which isn't too far away.

The ordeal's not over yet for poor John on the Solway coast.

JOHN GROANS

But first, there's a burning issue to deal with in Penzance.

As I opened the bonnet,

it exploded in my face and covered me in red-hot engine oil.

In Cornwall, the sun is shining and the surf's up.

The world-famous waves pull in thousands of riders...

..all looking for the best breaks and the best beaches.

With the thrills come the spills.

Many surfers end up in one of the UK's most far-flung hospitals

in the harbour town of Penzance

at the West Cornwall Hospital Urgent Care Centre.

OK.

It's a special unit open 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

-Can you feel that?

-No.

-There's obviously nerve damage there.

Ow.

Its GPs and nurses are all upskilled

to deal with the wide range of cases that come in.

More than just minor injuries,

not quite full-on A&E.

Daniel is a surfer. He's had an accident,

not on the waves but on the way home in his van.

Friend Benji has turned up to help keep a smile on his pal's face.

Senior staff nurse Marie McLaren does the serious stuff.

We'll have a look at this head wound now.

You've got a red patch around there,

and you've got some slight skidmarks just over it.

'Just been for a surf at Godrevy, and then we're driving up the A30

'and the engine warning light came on, so I thought'

I'd open the bonnet and have a look myself,

and as I opened the bonnet, it exploded in my face

and covered me in red-hot engine oil.

It was like a volcanic eruption in my engine!

I just... I opened the bonnet and as I put my hand on the coolant tank,

the cap just went bang, blew off,

and then everything that was in the engine came out,

literally over, up the windscreen, over the roof of the van,

complete engine compartment and all over the roads.

He's a muppet, basically, isn't he?

Fortunately, when it exploded in my face,

I had a pair of sunglasses on, so they took the brunt of it.

I didn't get any in the eyes,

otherwise I'd have been in a lot more pain now.

So yeah, I'd probably have been somewhere else, I should imagine,

having my eyes treated.

Doesn't bear thinking about, really. Quite lucky.

Probably sink in when I get home just how lucky I am, I should imagine.

Yeah.

Daniel is also lucky he had a quick-thinking pal with him,

who tipped water over his head, instantly cooling the burning oil.

A power shower back at the hospital has got most of the rest of it off.

OK, what I'll do, I'll get the doctor just to come in,

sort of check everything, and then we can pop a dressing on there.

-Get him to have a look.

-Going to end up with a big head bandage.

THEY LAUGH

Dr Patrick Farrell has a good poke about to make sure

they haven't missed anything.

Absolutely nothing to see, which is good news,

-so I think you've been extraordinarily lucky.

-Yeah.

Mostly inactivity is the right treatment,

-and it will all get better on its own.

-Yeah. Excellent, excellent.

-Thank you very much.

-We'll let you escape.

-Thank you.

Your chums throwing a bucket of water over you

-undoubtedly made a huge difference to the outcome.

-Yeah.

Saved you a lot of misery.

We had a large five-litre drinking bottle of water

and he just grabbed it and tipped it straight over my head,

and, well, he saved me, really, there.

-Good old Mr Wilson.

-Yeah, good Mr Wilson. Cheers, Phil.

Daniel is good to go.

He's looking good. You're looking good.

But Marie's not finished with him just yet.

His clothes were trashed in the accident,

so he's leaving in hospital haute couture.

Walking out in this, I feel like I'm escaping from the ward, running.

We should definitely go for a pint in town now,

with you dressed up like that.

THEY LAUGH

I'm not sure that's quite the attitude, lads.

Take you home, take you home.

In Cornwall, the air ambulance team have been called out

to a holidaymaker who's slipped and fallen on rocks.

-Clear of rocks your side, Steve?

-All clear.

Air ambulance paramedic Steve Garvey hooks up with RNLI lifeguards

who've hotfooted it from further along the bay.

Along the rugged Cornish coast,

land, sea and air rescue services must all pull together

to help people in need.

Hi. All right?

They've reached the casualty, who's still lying where she fell.

-Janet, is it?

-Janet, yeah.

Have you got any neck or back pain or anything?

Not knocked out at all?

Are you on your own here, Janet?

Tell me if I'm hurting you too much, you know, if it hurts or anything.

Janet's family are concerned.

We've come for a day out with the children, and unfortunately

my mother-in-law's come, we made it down the path there

and she stumbled down the rocks,

gone headfirst and split the head open at the top there.

So lots of blood from the head wound,

difficult for us to get her back up,

so we figured it best to call for some professional help.

Is the worst of your pain centred around the top of your head here?

Do you feel nauseous at all?

OK, you remember everything that's happened?

OK. Have you got any pins and needles anywhere or any such thing?

-Have you been moving yourself at all, other than...

-No.

Because there are so many blood vessels close to the surface

under the scalp, head wounds do bleed a lot.

But in this case, it's not as bad as it looks.

-Right, let's give you a hand to get up.

-I'm all right.

-Is that a lot better?

-Yes.

-OK.

Steve updates his colleagues in the waiting helicopter

so they can let the road ambulance crew know what's happening.

-Right, you all right?

-Yeah.

We'll just let you get your bearings

because you've had a tumble, sat down.

How do you feel?

Headachey, but otherwise all right.

OK.

It's a good sign that Janet's still got her appetite.

I'll just guide her in now, mate. I'll guide her in.

The family's got a bit of a hike back up to the top,

while Janet gets a lift.

-You're comfortable there, Janet?

-Yes, thank you.

-Lovely.

But she's barely settled and the ride's over.

And for the walk down to the ambulance,

she's found a couple of nice young men to escort her.

RADIO CRACKLES

But for the helicopter boys,

it's about to get a whole load more complicated.

Another urgent call has come in for a second incident not far away.

We've let her go with the ambulance crew that's there. Now we can go

and attend this other lady which is just a bit further down the beach.

All we know at this stage, it's a possible fractured hip.

The air ambulance guys need to get airborne again quickly,

but there's a problem.

Paragilders have taken to the skies.

It's not safe to take off.

From a rescue off a Cornish beach

to another on the Solway coast in south-west Scotland.

John's afternoon stroll with his wife and their dog

has turned into something of a nightmare.

One, two, and lift.

JOHN GROANS

His suspected hip fracture is excruciating

and more than an hour after he fell, John's condition is deteriorating.

He's on Entonox to ease the pain.

It's tough for John, but vital they immobilise his leg.

JOHN WINCES

Sorry, my darling. John, we're just making these trousers short Bermudas.

Don't send us a bill for your trousers.

We're going to lift this leg and put a splint in to support it.

You try and keep sucking and grab Dougie's arm.

-That's it.

-That's it done.

Securing his leg is essential.

Even though John hasn't got outward signs of bleeding,

a sharp broken bone moving inside his hip or leg could wreak havoc.

Hey, John, what we're going to do is, we've got you on this board,

-we're going to lift you up to the ambulance, OK?

-Right.

Getting him off the beach has been a real team effort,

but John's ordeal isn't over yet.

He's still got to be transferred onto the ambulance stretcher.

John, I'm afraid we've got to put another wee stretcher in below you.

-Aye.

-To get you across, OK?

One, two.

Great stuff.

JOHN GROANS

-You're doing well.

-There you are.

-Right.

-I'll take your belt...

-Right.

-..and just ease you.

-Aye.

-One, two.

JOHN CRIES OUT

Just do one, two, and lift.

That's us.

JOHN GROANS

Just pull it down. That's us clear.

At last he's in. But he's suffering from cold and shock.

I think we must have saw every piece of coastline before we got to you.

It's a 30-mile journey to hospital in Dumfries.

A vacuum mattress keeps him secure.

Suction pulls the air out of it

and you can form it around the patient's legs,

which applies a kind of splint,

plus it cushions it because of the distance it will have to travel

and makes it a lot better for the patient travelling.

Carol Ann is keeping a close eye on John's vital signs.

You're still a bit cold. Your pulse is coming up normally now.

Your oxygen saturations are still a bit low.

You don't need me to tell you the way your leg, you know,

-right leg has shortened.

-Yeah.

So it's fairly indicative that,

-you know, probably your right hip has gone.

-Yes, I think that's it.

You knew that probably before I told you.

What we'll do, we'll get you in as quickly as we can and smoothly,

-depending on the traffic on the road.

-That's all right.

And then they'll take you in and then we'll hand you over to casualty

and they'll X-ray it and then they'll decide the plan from there.

-Yeah.

-OK?

-OK.

Finally, after his long, wet wait

and Carol Ann and Charlie's frustrating search to find him,

John's where he needs to be.

It's been a long journey to get here

but at least now he's got a bit of colour back in his cheeks.

-You brought half the beach with you, I think.

-Aye.

-The water was coming in.

-Was it?

-Three more men had to get him moved.

Over 400 miles away, on the southern tip of England,

life in Penzance revolves around the sea and the coastal waters.

But working on a boat isn't always plain sailing,

and staff at the town's Urgent Care Centre are old hands

when it comes to dealing with all sorts of injuries.

Local ferryman Les has come in with a mystery complaint -

a spot of indigestion and a painful knee.

Senior staff nurse Verity Harding checks him out.

Are you able to bend the knee at all,

so you're in this kind of position?

I think I will be able to, but it might take a while.

I'm here till nine, don't worry.

-Can you tolerate that?

-Yeah.

Let me know when it hurts.

So apart from your...

-Ow!

-I'm so sorry.

-Yeah, that hurt.

See if you can keep it down.

Apart from your indigestion, any other medical problems at all?

-No.

-You're not on any inhalers?

-That's sore.

-I'm really sorry about this, sir.

The reason I need to feel around here

is to help me find out what's going on, OK?

-It's really sore.

-Do you want me to carry on with the examination

-or do you want me to stop?

-Well...

-Because I would like to examine it

so I can try and find out what's wrong,

but if you're taking my hands off it,

it makes me think that you don't want me to have a look.

-Only, it's really, really painful.

-I can understand completely.

-OK.

I'm not going to make your symptoms worse by examining you.

What I'm going to do is understand what's happening to your leg

-so we can sort out what's going on.

-Yeah, carry on.

-OK...

HE EXHALES

What I'd like to do, because it does feel a bit warm,

it's very, very sore to touch, I'd like to take some bloods from you,

see if I can find out a bit more about what's going on.

-You haven't had any recent injuries around here?

-No.

-No?

-That's what's weird about it.

-And you haven't had

any previous operations? But you're really, really, really tender.

Even if we get to the bottom and find out what's happening with this,

judging by the amount of pain you've got,

I really think you're going to struggle to get back to work today.

Les skippers the ferry from the mainland to the little island

of St Michael's Mount, a few miles along the coast from Penzance.

Walkable when the tide's out,

at high tide it's boat or nowt.

Les won't want to be losing business.

It's high summer and peak tourist season.

I was working and then I had to stop

and I just wondered what was happening.

It's not good for that sort of job, holding a boat in and stuff, so...

I'll have to hand it over to the apprentice.

With 24 years' experience under her nursing belt,

Verity is working on a well-informed hunch.

I think he's most likely got gout,

and...

..which is a kind of metabolic disorder where they get crystals

forming in the joint and it's really, really unbelievably painful

and it can come on exactly as he said

although sometimes they tell you they've had a minor bump

a couple of days before. But I can't miss him having septic arthritis,

which, if he does, he needs to go to theatre today to have it washed out.

Septic arthritis is nasty.

Bacteria get into a joint, causing serious inflammation.

Left untreated, it can be life-threatening.

A blood test should hopefully rule out septic arthritis.

While she's got Les here,

Verity wants to be thorough in her diagnosis.

It's prudent to get an X-ray

because it will just show us that his knee is normal

because I don't want to see anything abnormal. I'm looking to make sure

he hasn't got anything sinister that could show up in an X-ray.

Going to push this up a little bit behind you.

Les won't have to wait long to know what's what.

Instead of sending bloods away for testing,

upskilled nurses in this rural unit can do their own.

Nurse Fiona Wright will have Les's results in around 15 minutes.

The X-rays will show what's going on inside the knee joint.

They can't pick up gout but could flag up Verity's worst fears.

His bones look nice and healthy.

I'm not seeing knots of arthritis.

I'm not seeing a huge swelling in the joint.

The results are basically that everything is normal,

so that means he doesn't have septic arthritis,

so I'm working through with the presumption that he has gout,

so I will give him some stronger painkillers.

He couldn't have stronger painkillers earlier

cos he had a pint on the way up here,

which is fair enough - his knee hurt him and he wasn't sure what to do!

Well, as they say, a little bit of what you fancy does you good,

or in Les's case, maybe not.

In all honesty, it looks like gout. It's really tender to touch,

it's a bit red, it's not shiny yet but it will probably get shiny later.

You need to rest this.

Any idea when that might be better...ish?

-Couple of days?

-No, it's going to be more than a couple of days.

You're going to be laid up for most of the week.

Right, I shall go and sort out crutches, printed information

-and pain relief for you. Any questions?

-No.

It's a surprise result for Les. But he's not alone.

There's over half a million gout sufferers in the UK.

I've heard people say they've had gout before,

but didn't realise it's painful like that. That's, yes, pretty tough.

Need to get it better quick, so...

Yeah.

What that's likely to mean is a change in diet,

cutting out the foods that make the condition worse.

But if he sticks to the rules, he should be able

to keep his symptoms at bay and get back to the boat.

Earlier, the Cornwall air ambulance

picked up injured holidaymaker Janet.

-You comfortable there, Janet?

-Yes, thank you.

-Lovely.

But now there's another emergency further along the bay.

While Janet gets treated in the ambulance, the helicopter is needed

urgently for a second airlift,

a girl with a possible hip fracture.

But there's a problem.

So I think they're heading in that direction.

If they give us enough room, we could get out.

This part of Cornwall's coastline is popular with paragliders

and today's weather is perfect.

The air ambulance gang are ready to leave but can't take off.

We're not sure where they're going to go next.

Of course, if the wind drops or if they have a problem,

it's unpredictable as to where they might go,

so obviously a helicopter and a paraglider isn't a good mix.

And that's putting it mildly.

The coastguards head off to try and warn them away.

I have a feeling that once the air ambulance takes off,

they will get the message fairly sharply

and they will be on their jolly way.

In the meantime, we'll do what we can to keep them away.

-AMPLIFIED:

-Attention, hang-glider!

Turns out you can't beat a loudhailer.

The air ambulance crew are back in business.

Today is a real scorcher

and Whitsand Bay's three miles of beaches and rocky inlets are mobbed.

Lifeguards are already with the casualty

and have set a flare to help the helicopter find them.

But there were three.

There is a clear area.

OK.

The rising tide means pilot Craig has to keep his wits about him.

His choice of a landing spot is limited

as he steers clear of the rocks and the crowds.

Hi.

16-year-old Alex is on holiday with her family

and she's a little camera shy.

It's not the first time her dad Peter has seen her knee pop.

We'd gone around the point where there's a really beautiful pool,

and she was just running along the beach and she went off sideways.

The kneecap was dislocated.

She put it back in, but she's still in a lot of pain

and no way we're getting her up the cliff. That's the problem.

She's dislocated it before but never in such an awkward place.

The lifeguards have given Alex gas and air to relieve the pain.

Steve needs to splint her knee before they can move her.

But he gets a warning call from the chopper.

The tide is coming in fast.

We're getting slightly time pressured now.

We've got an incoming tide which isn't too far away,

so what we need to do is get Alex onto the aircraft as soon as we can.

If the water gets above the helicopter's skids,

it could get very difficult.

Craig must get the chopper off the sand before that happens,

and it's a matter of minutes away.

-'Go ahead.'

-Yeah, if you could let the coasties on the beach know

that we're going to move the casualty.

Ready, set, lift.

-Derriford Hospital, sir, all right?

-Yeah, got it.

-If you need directions, come up to the unit.

-Don't worry, we know.

Good job the lifeguards are here to help,

otherwise the tide might have won.

She's in, and they're off.

That water looked a bit close there.

Yeah, the water was getting right round the skids of the aircraft.

We didn't have a lot of time left.

Back on the clifftop, it's time for the second handover of the day.

It is a beach that's notorious for access problems,

so while the patients have relatively minor injuries,

the helicopters proved invaluable in getting them off the beach

and into the ambulance.

-How's that?

-Yeah.

-Brilliant, there we are.

-Right.

With Janet already up back, that makes two.

Steve seems keen to make it three.

-We'll see if we can find you another one, eh?

-Yeah!

The air ambulance guys have had their work cut out for them this afternoon.

Just two hours since the first call, double rescue complete.

All's worked out for the two patients. They've received

the appropriate treatment and we are now free to treat someone else.

It's been all go for Britain's rural emergency services.

It turned out John's hip was intact,

but he had a bad break to his thigh bone.

Now, with steel pins in his leg and plenty of physiotherapy,

he's on the road to recovery.

Janet didn't need hospital attention.

She had her wound closed by her lovely ambulance crew

and has recovered well.

Daniel's burns have healed, leaving hardly any scarring,

but he's not planning to hit the catwalk any time soon.

And who says nothing happens in the countryside?
