Minutes from Death

An Hour to Save Your Life explores the life or death decisions facing doctors in the first critical hour of emergency care. This medical science series follows three patients from the moment a 999 call is made, minute by minute, second by second, as frontline doctors and paramedics battle against the clock to treat their injuries. In this episode, medics fight to save the lives of a young man who's been critically injured in a car crash, a cyclist involved in a collision with a lorry and a young woman whose heart has stopped after a sudden collapse in the street.
