The introductory episode in a series of nine documentary films about the Bolton Area Health Authority and winner of the British Academy's Award for the Best Documentary Film of 1977. Casualty
A man assaulted and rolled in pig manure.
A lady bitten by a ferret.
A woman kicked unconscious by her husband.
A man who yawned, and cannot close his mouth.
A child feared drowned.
The steady trickle of cuts, bruises, bumps and abrasions to be stitched, bathed and bandaged by Sister Sylvia and the staff of doctors and nurses around her, on a day and a night, in the Casualty Department.
