A month after airway reconstruction surgery, two-year-old Charlie is rushed into the emergency department with breathing problems, a fever and vomiting. The team must act quickly to diagnose the problem. Meanwhile, Lauren arrives with an earring stuck inside her earlobe and newly qualified nurse Amie shows what it’s like to work in the hospital’s busiest ward. Andikan has a rare genetic disorder and lives on the hospital’s High Dependency Unit. Due to his condition, he has only ever spent a fortnight at home. The staff unite to make his second birthday in hospital extra special.
