Casualty 1907. Part 3.

This three-part series follows on from 'Casualty 1906' which looked at three days in the life of the London Hospital shortly after the turn of the last century. The London Hospital, based in the East End of London, was the most advanced hospital of its time and dealt with devastating poverty and illness before the advent of antibiotics and the NHS. All the events, characters and cases in the programme are based on hospital records, newspapers and personal memoirs. This third and last part covers treatment for the bends for men working on the Rotherhithe tunnel, problems with hospital funding, the psychological effects of limb amputation, a nurse contracting Scarlet fever and clitoral stimulation therapy by a psychiatrist for a married woman.
