Bizarre ER - BBC3 Monday 24th May 2010

I was watching a TV programme on BBC3 called 'Bizarre ER'. It was about some of the more unusual/interesting cases coming into an UK A&E. One of the cases involved a finger dislocation - something us folks are very used to!! Anyway, the programme was actually good and mentioned reasons for dislocations and then subluxations taking place - e.g. excessive force, a fall etc etc and then it mentioned 'Hypermobility Syndrome' that people were flexible all over. Unfortunately it didn't go on to say how much pain etc we endure - but at least it did get a factual mention.

If you're squeamish I'd give it a miss, it does get pretty gory!

Bizarre ER (Series 3 - Episode 4) is repeated on BBC3 on:

Thursday 27 May at 02:00
Friday 28 May at 04:10
Saturday 29 May at 01:40

It's also available on BBC iPlayer (available until Saturday 5 June, I think).

That finger was dislocated at a pretty impressive angle!

Another series of Bizarre ER had a girl with HMS and a girl with EDS in one episode!
