The term "the golden hour" refers to the 60 following a trauma in which immediate medical treatment can make the difference between life and death. The HEMS doctors need to work fast to ensure they make the most of that precious hour. As the drama showed, the doctors have to work against the clock to get the right treatment to the trauma victim and are all too often required to operate, not in the safety of the hospital A&E department, but on the street.
