Episode 1

In turn-of-the-century London, the staff of the London Hospital treat a variety of patients. It was also one of the first hospitals to use anesthetics regularly. With little in the way of health and safety regulations, they must deal with the victims of industrial accidents including one worker who suffers terrible burns. They also treat a large number of injured following what is believed to be a bomb explosion while the police push their way in and insist on questioning the patients.

Sister Ada Russel has her first day as the head of the Receiving Room. Nurse Ethel Bennett is informed by the Matron that she is being transferred from the Receiving Room to the private care service. Bennett isn't too keen, but has little choice and accuses Ada of trying to get rid of her. A patient who attempted suicide is soon carted away and charged by the police. A patient in for the removal of a cancerous testicle loses all feeling in his legs, possibly a reaction to the use of a local sedative, Stovaine.

As an atheist, he objects to being admitted to the Jewish ward but soon takes an interest in Nurse Laurey Goodley. ...

Mr. Holland is worried about how the charitable institution will continue should donations decline substantially. The hospital treats a woman who appears to be poor and attempted suicide. The suicide attempt was real but the woman it turns out is a well-known stage entertainer, Grace Barnes.

Mr. Dean has overcome his addiction to cocaine and returns to work. Unfortunately, he loses his nerve in the middle of an operation leading Mr. Holland and Mr. Fenwick to suspect that he may have suffered permanent damage. Sister Ada Russell continues helping a single mother with several children but the long hours are taking its toll and she is late for her shift in the receiving room.
