Accidents and Emergencies

Available for over a year

The next in a powerful new short story series from Sarah Moss, set on one hospital ward over a long bank holiday weekend. As patients wait to be assessed on the Acute Medical Unit, with staff exhausted and thin on the ground, stories of their lives and possible futures slowly unfold. These are tales of kindness, love and small acts of humanity in a system at breaking point. Today: after an argument over toilets, a female patient finds things becoming frighteningly Kafkaesque.... Writer: Sarah Moss Reader: Niamh Cusack Producer: Justine Willett
