Returning: Medical Emergency

Just days after scheduling NZ factual Borderline into Tuesday nights, Seven has replaced it with Aussie-made Medical Emergency.

The observational series, narrated by Christopher Gabardi returns 9:30pm Tuesday June 3rd. It will be followed by NZ series Renters.

Shot at Melbourne’s Alfred Hospital and Sandringham and District Memorial Hospital this is the fourth series for Seven.

Borderline is yet to be rescheduled.

Press Release:

Channel Seven’s top-rating reality series MEDICAL EMERGENCY will return to our screens next week.

Following the raw emotion and life threatening decisions faced by patients and staff in the emergency department of The Alfred Hospital’s Emergency and Trauma Centre and Sandringham and District Memorial Hospital in Melbourne.

The fourth dramatic series returns on Tuesday June 3 at 9.30pm, following All Saints.

Narrated by actor Chris Gabardi, MEDICAL EMERGENCY was the number one medical show last year, with an average audience of over 1.4 million viewers.

“Medical Emergency highlights the incredible spirit of ordinary people placed in extremely difficult situations”, says Chris. “It also displays the exceptional quality of work from our doctors, nurses and ambulance officers. The series showcases such incredible fighting qualities in patients and family members, and gives you a fascinating insight into what really goes on behind the doors of the emergency department. After many years on All Saints, I have gained enormous respect for the people who work in these areas and Medical Emergency highlights the incredible work they do.”

MEDICAL EMERGENCY provides an insight into how patients and their concerned loved ones cope in extraordinary situations. From basic wound injuries to major traumas and life threatening surgery, viewers are also invited to take an unprecedented behind the scenes look at how emergency staff cope in these situations.

MEDICAL EMERGENCY aims to break new ground in Australian television by providing viewers with an unprecedented insight into the trauma and emergency wards as well perceptive stories with the Metropolitan Ambulance Service and Air Ambulance Service.

A Channel Seven production team spent several months at The Alfred Hospital and Sandringham and District Memorial Hospital working closely with staff to ensure that patient care and privacy remains the highest priority throughout the duration of this project.

MEDICAL EMERGENCY returns to Tuesday nights at 9.30pm on Channel Seven.

  1. Watching your show on 27th October 2009 gave me quite a nice suprise, as I recognised one of the patients, Jeremy, who had ben bashed and as a result had a shattered eye socket, nose and jaw.. Around two and a half, to three years ago, my friend and I were walking along King and Little Colliins when my friend needed to go to the bathroom. Choosing a laneway just before the corner of King St, he walked up the laneway a ahort distance, and decided to go the whole way up and around a small corner, which was not nessecary as there was adequate coverage. He said he felt the need to go all the way to the end. When we reached the end of the laneway, we were shocked to see a young man around our age had been badly bashed. Quick thinking, we gave first aid and called the ambo’s. We had occasionally wondered over the years, what had happened to him and if he was alright.
    I was amazed to see him on the show and was very happy to see he was doing alright, and that the police had caught the offenders. Well done to all at the hospital – and to Jeremy, who has clearly not let the attack haunt him.
    Regards,
    Jess and Tim.

  2. I work in the health care arena and believe there is a legitimate opportunity for a scriptwriter who has performed acting roles in health care. I wish to contact the actor/scriptwriter – Chris Gabardi, but am having trouble accessing email contact details. Can you help

  4. My husband recieved a lung transplant in The Alfred Hospital on the 21st January 2009. Sadly he passed away from complications on 7th March 2009. I can not speak highly enough of the doctors, nurses and all other professionals involved with his care and treatment. I wouldn’t want to be treated at any other hospital.

  5. I was a visiting medical student to the RTA Unit at the Alfred when it first opened nearly 20 years ago. It is so wonderful to see the unit up and running as it was supposed to when I arrived from the UK as “Medical Emergency” is being shown on SKY and I can watch it in the UK
    This is how trauma should be dealt with. Australia is still ahead of the UK when it comes to trauma care
