I’M TOO FOCUSED TO NOTICE CAMERAS
Dr Rhys Beynon is a consultant in adult and paediatric emergency medicine at St George’s Hospital, London
I’m always so focused on the work I’m doing that I forget I’m being filmed.
It’s a good thing really because I think I’d freak out if I actually thought about all of the people who might be watching my every move on TV.
Being a part of 24 Hours in A&E has been such an amazing experience and I’ve loved every minute of it. I feel blessed to be a part of such an amazing TV show. So many people come up to me in the street to tell me how much they love – and cry – watching the show.
It was also really special to let my family see what I actually get up to at work. I don’t think they realised what a day in the life of an emergency department doctor really entails.
Now they understand why I’m so tired when I come home from work!
24 Hours in A&E shows us how precious life is. It reminds us that we don’t know what’s around the corner – and that we should tell our loved ones that we love them.
