Dr Philip Dykes opens up on his treatment on 24 Hours in A&E
The next episode of 24 Hours in A&E airs tonight - and features the case of a 16-year-old boy with sepsis. Reporter Rebecca Sherdley spoke to the doctor who treated him
Series 1, Episode 8, follows Kaeden's journey over the last three years, and how the family has coped with the struggles the diagnosis presented. Dr Dykes, speaking to Nottinghamshire Live, before the Channel 4 episode at 9pm, recalls: "With my case with Kaeden, it was a fairly significant case, in that he was quite poorly and he has got underlying health conditions which sort of predisposed him to be poorly.
"He had sepsis, so needed a series of antibiotics, fluids. I think we got intensive care involved at one point. Dr Dykes, a married dad of two, says there are plenty of challenges. "I suppose for me is the fact that everybody wants the NHS to be here, everyone loves the NHS. It's like a love/hate relationship. It is like Marmite.
"And I think what part of this is an accident or an emergency - it's not, why did you not wait , and that is the way society is these days". Also in tonight's episode is 63-year-old Paul. He arrives at A&E after partially amputating his thumb at work.
