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. The hospital allows the investigation to go forward even though it turns out to ...
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.

The hospital continues to deal with what appears to be a never-ending flood of patients. Among those are new immigrants who, in an attempt to better their lives, flock to London. The result for the hospital is having to treat the diseases they bring with them. A case in point is a young boy admitted with polio, which is non-existent in the UK.

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

The suicide attempt was real but the woman it turns out is a well-known stage entertainer, Grace Barnes. Dr. Head gladly treats her as he has his own theories about mental incapacity and its effect on physical ...
The receiving room doctors treat a woman who has obviously tried to terminate her pregnancy, very much an illegal act in 1909 England. Dr. Culpin is sympathetic despite the legalities of the situation and Sister Ada Russell takes an interest in the woman's well-being. Nurse Ethel Bennett rushes off to a Naval hospital where her brother is recovering from an appendicitis operation he underwent in South Africa. What she finds there is filth, malnourishment and a lack of modern facilities and medicines that is shocking given the sacrifice these men have made for their ...
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.
