Thought it was very interesting that Milla ran all the way through the hospital wearing the gloves she had been using treating the last patient she was with. Who is going to clean all the bacterial contamination off every surface she touched on the way to A & E? Is no-one learning anything about infection control? Or do they just pay no heed to it. CQC should be in this hospital tomorrow investigating. But they wouldn't know what to look for!

Now we know why the NHS in England has the problems it has. It may have been some poetic licence for a programmme but the lack of demonstarting a procedure before getting a new doctor to perform it is unacceptable. I also struggle to believe that a hospital that size really has only one on call doctor overnight. The sooner this country defies inappropriate E.U. legislation and returns to reasonable 1 in 3 rota practices the safer it will be for all patients. I'm thankful I was a junior 35 years ago rather than now !

Ha ha how funny r the above 2 comments!!!!!! Dr MRT, one can assume ur a real dr, who wud know that there is just not 1 on call dr in the whole off a hospital on a nite shift, and regards 2 the chest drain, these drs have got 2 learn, hands on experience is vital, thought u wud understand that 1. With regards 2 the first comment about infection control, for 1 l Neva noticed, & 2 if that was u on the crash trolley u wudn't know any different!!!!!!!

Felt really sorry for Andy failing to get these cannulae in the patients' arms. Had he had senior support after his first two attempts I am sure his technique could have been improved, his confidence increased and his stress level reduced. From some of the shots it seems monitoring computer screens has taken over from the privilege and responsibility of mentoring juniors who are in need of and entitled to receive acquired experience. "Stick" with it Andy even if you have to teach yourself.

Really enjoy watching this program, the first series as well as this one.. but can't get over 'Milla' being absolutely ridiculous with her pseudo-upper-class 'I'm-a-Chelsea-girl-ja' monologue and the way she presents herself? You can only hope for her future patients and colleagues that she stops that charade or she'll never ever be taken seriously or given sufficient respect/authority.. for a moment I thought she was an actress set up to increase the entertainment factor of the program? OH- MY- GOD!

Lucy's manner with her patients was tremendous.

This comment has been referred for further consideration. Explain.

OOh Lucy, you showed the coolest head and the most professionalism in last nights programme. Of course I am your biggest fan for the way you looked after my Mother.

So glad to see there is a second series as I absolutely loved the first one and their way of showing no matter how much responsibilty your job involves and how high profile it may be, we're all just human and we all once started right at the bottom being just as insecure and unexperienced as a child starting school for the first time in their lives..

Uni only provides you with the basics and it's only when you've actually left med school that you find out your journey's just started.
All this can take months, often years, and as Harry Truman once said:
THE ONLY THINGS WORTH LEARNING ARE THE THINGS YOU LEARN AFTER YOU KNOW IT ALL.. ..

As for MILLA I thought it was rather entertaining as well and her comments/speech just made me smirk. I'm sure by now she'll have realised that this sort of attitude is not gonna impress anyone - rather the opposite - and she might struggle to earn the trust and respect her job requires.
Not saying all female doctors should leave their feminality and extravagance by the hospital entrance but unless you wanna be mistaken for a nurse and patronized by your senior/male, you should really learn to embody sovereignty rather than acting like a posh spoiled brat whose sole focus and dedication rotates about fashion, glamour and burlesque.

Medicine is the most competitive science (vocational field) of all and you learn quickly how important it is to "fit in" and thrive. I can only say "good luck" ;-)

this program is awesome i have only seen 2 episodes of series 1 number 1 and 2 but am already an avid watcher i love you all

I love this programme, but wonder why the nurses don't help them out a bit more for the benefit of the poor patients!
Pryia needs to listen to her patient 'it was you she didn't want as you hurt her and failed not 'she was feeling unwell so I won't take it personally etc, tie your long flowing hair up, take your bracelets off, wash your hands and take your gloves off, stop wasting valuable NHS resources and listen and learn from the patient! appalling an SHO won't even help out an FY! and saying do it where you like not the patient- I thought patients were supposed to have choice!! Pryia trying to give and gain informed consent was also horrendous when she doesn't know herself what is going on and 'cut' even the patient talked about 'an incision', so much for her informed consent 'rest assurred whatever they do will be the best for you laproscopic or a cut!! you don't want to wake up and discover you'd like to know what to expect beforehand......or maybe Bollywood should await a new actress!!


Also in paediatrics the nurse didn't utter a word of reassuration to the poor little boy, and where is the play specialist and distraction- appalling!

Last week Andy trying to cannulate (or should I have said butcher) the patient he wasn't going have a chance getting those cannualae in at 90 degrees angles!

Lucy is lovely and so kind to people and Ben seems very nice.

Sorry I have to say that but the first series, especially the people/doctors in it, was/were so much better and more likeable, that's for sure.
As a matter of fact nearly all of the (junior) doctors here seem below standard/average and having watched the first series themselves as well they just seem to enjoy being 'on telly'? Although they feel flattered I'm sure there are quite a few people who've got the same impression as me.
I'm an FY2 myself and really wonder how some of them got through med school?? E.g. if Milla was one of my colleagues (or had been a fellow student) I'd be tempted to say "wake up girl" Watching her you can't help thinking she's gone into medicine cos it adds to the prestige she strives for;
My gran's gonna go into 'Chelsea & West' for an operation next month (as she lives in Putney) and no offence but I can only hope none of those 'medics' is gonna be involved in her care;

Clearly NURSELONDON is under the same mis-conception as the majority of her current colleagues - that she has a medical degree without actually getting to medical school. Basic proficiency in spelling would help i.e. assurred should be assured, laproscopic is laparoscopic and cannulalae is cannulae. If nurses went back to actually attending to patients rather than sitting round computer screens (and constantly grazing) playing at devising treatments and left the medicine to the qualified true professionals the NHS might just have a chance of delivering worthwhile healthcare.

I'm a doctor and I cringe every time I see one of them take blood or cannulate without wearing gloves. Especially not wearing them at an arrest!
