As soon as she said "de-gloved" I thought "gosh, I hope that's not what I think it is". And it was

I can't speak in Dalvin's case, but one of my brothers had a similar gash on his upper arm back when he was in college, right down to the bone, and had to have a skin graft (in which they cover the gap with new tissue. I was going to Google to try and find you a link but the pictures alone made me go "OH GOD NO" so I'll leave that to you ). He still has a nasty scar.

Edit: (I managed a Google. Here you go: http://http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skin_graft )

(be warned for a few graphic pictures in the article)

The placing of Dalvin's wound worried me more - right on his knee, ouch. He mentioned something about not being able to run (?) in the end credits so maybe he's having physio as well.

I think the thing with degloving is that it's not a cut, the skin and underlying tissue, muscle etc is torn off/apart.
It was below the knee wasn't it?
Lots of important muscles and tendons in that area, I'd guess.

Yeah, he's now using the Bus, but can't run for them, for a young man it must be a big jump in thinking, I suppose.
You just naturally run for Buses, you don't think about it, you do when your get old and tired, you debate whether to bother, is it worth the exertion.

Nice to see Dad's getting a bit of profile, it's usually Mum's to the fore when Accidents happen, nice to see him wanting his Dad there and Dad wanting to be there for him.

Just caught up with the repeat last night .Did anyone else hope they left the "man" ( I say man loosely ) with the nose bite sitting in the waiting room for 24 hours .What an eejit .

My heart sank when Emer said degloving , but wow had he degloved .

I love Jen , not fussed what she is , but if I ever need and A+E I hope its someone like Jen who cares for me .

Evening All

Hiiiii

Watching live for once

Watching. The intro always makes me sad! That's before it's even started..lol.

Evening

Quite. An excellent nurse is what she is, and a caring person with a very dry sense of humour. What more could you want in a medical professional?

Hello all

Evening...

I know! That bit with the little girl! Have we seen her yet? I missed one week

Evening all - I'm here for the first showing for once!

Hello stranger! I trust you're well? And wee Erica?

What the divil are they on about? Foot injury from a chicken?!

Same here - I usually end up watching on catch up or a recording.

I really like this show Didn't realise there was a dedicated following on DS!

Does anyone know how many more Episodes to go ............. Don't want this series to end tbh

We're very good thank you! I have a gorgeous photo to show you, but I got told off for chatting to someone here the other week

I hope lovely Sister Jen is on tonight

this is going to make me cry. reminds me of the last few weeks before i lost my dad to cancer last year.

Why did you get told off? I'd love to see a pic!

I'm a bit behind due to Ickle Loon being a pain.....she's terminally ill this lady?

Poor poor lady...Cancer is so cruel...

This programme makes me so sad sometimes. Cancer is just awful.

I just want to give her a big hug

Dont mind anyone telling you off! I'd love to see a pic of baby Erica too please - our little Strictly baby!

Hi Loon, she started with lung cancer which has spread just about everywhere..

She looks so sad and unwell - almost looks like she would like all the suffering to be over!
