Today, a 95-year-old navy veteran is winched from the deck of a cruise ship, having lain undiscovered in his cabin for 11 hours. He’s diabetic, dehydrated and has suspected acute pancreatitis. He is also a hundred miles from hospital, where the night shift is about to get very busy. A patient has his holiday interrupted with kidney problems. It turns out he’s a pal of nurse Aimee and a keen participant in the upcoming midsummer biking rally – if he can get better in time. And the dental team go the extra mile for the perfect smile as they take to the road to get to patients across Shetland. Show less
