Anyone been watching this?
On currently is the second series and the first episode, one case they featured is of a 26 year old German woman who was on a bicycle and I presume was positioned on the inside of a big tipper lorry, which crushed her pelvic area as it turned left.
She was basically bleeding to death and they tried CPR amongst other things.
Normally, they said life would be pronounced extinct after trying what they had but instead, they opened up the chest cavity and squashed the Aorta and refilled the missing blood creating a "mini circulation" and you could see the heart start pumping again.
All of this on a London street in daylight.
Even they said five years ago this would have been unthinkable but they have a go now... Better than the alternative I guess.
Absolutely astonishing and it makes me feel utterly humble!
