Ambulance crew member Daniel Waterhouse secretly films as the NHS endures its worst winter crisis on record and reveals ambulance workers battling the odds and A&E departments overwhelmed as patients suffer needless harm and death. “We have all these patients who are needlessly coming to harm”, he says. “I hope that by doing this, something can be done, something will be done.”
The Times in its review described Waterhouse as "heroic" and the film as, "A terrifying expose of the NHS in crisis... Don’t have a heart attack, folks; don’t have a stroke." In its five star review, the Guardian said Waterhouse filmed, "every crumbling layer of a system that is close to total destruction...there is a special, awful power in seeing it directly, through the horrified eyes of a medic at work." The film led to widespread news coverage. In an editorial in The Sunday Times which said it "lays bare our health care crisis...These are the pictures that health bosses and ministers would rather you did not see".
