I'm quoting my Mum when she saw the guy with the splinter, she said 'use vaseline', that would get it out.....and the Nurse couldn't believe...he had waited that long, to have it seen too.
Waiting for his body to push it out on it's own obviously wasn't working in his case. I had glass embedded in my elbow as a child, took that long (months) to make it's own way out I'd forgotten it was there. |

I'm still mystified how vaseline works,
![]() Couple of answers here: Quote:
A: Vaseline. Plain and simple. When I was little and got splinters and that was almost daily, my mom would put vaseline. See, what happens is you put vaseline, then a band aid on it and by morning it should have slipped out on its own onto the band-aid. It was the weirdest thing, but it was cool to see the little splinter on the band-aid in the morning and with out pain. Just don't ask me how it works because I couldn't tell you. Good luck. Quote:
Put vaseline on it with a bandaid and leave it on overnight.The vaseline softens the skin and draws the splinter out.It should be close enough to the skins surface to easily remove.
And near the bottom of the first page of results for splinter~vaseline, on google, there is our thread.

I so hoped that Ted would pull through again. He and his wife were such a devoted couple.
![]() This programme is excellent, the doctors and nurses and other staff giving their views of their patients and the highs and lows of the job is very interesting. Hope there are more of the same in the C4 pipeline. ![]() |

People are interested in things you're not, yes it's bizarre isn't it. |

Rubber neckers? –verb (used without object) 1. to look about or stare with great curiosity, as by craning the neck or turning the head. |

I do like this programme. It is different from all the other fly on the wall documentary programmes.
I like the fact there isn't a narrator trying to dramatise the footage. The interviews with the staff and patients provide this narration. Last one this week. I hope Channel 4 make a second series for next year. |

It's pretty scary to think of someone so young having a stroke - poor guy.
Clive's story is really sad too - seems like a lovely chap. |

Wasn't overly keen on tonights ep, but overall this has been an astonishing piece of television that certainly deserves some awards love in the coming months.
Bravo C4. |

I'm surprised only 6 people died over the course of that month. I always assumed there was pretty much a death a day in A&E!

Really quite sad this has finished, going to miss it as it was my weekly 'restoring faith in humanity' session, especially this week (riots).
Genuinely eye opening and has changed the way I think about certain things. It should be shown in schools, maybe then kids will start idolising real heros like hospital staff instead of useless celebrities. |

Just watching the last program, now.
Shouting bloke, Triage/Dressage and Memory man, I guess one of this weeks themes is Mental health then. Must be quite early in the shift, Jacqui's bouncing around the place. I'd really like to see this womans bum they're talking about in the waiting room. |

27,000 views of the thread and less than 400 posts.
Wanted to hear more from the Consultants about Joe's stroke at 16. Not sure why Yemi had part time subtitles. Odd/amusing line of the night 'you don't realise the power of the Bum' Great show, example of what can be done with some top draw editing, stitching a show together and giving it the right flavour. Closing scenes were a good example of that, summing up onscreen, lights going off, then the Red phone rings and Jen's back 'Kings A&E' |
