In the latest episode, viewers were treated to a woman impaling her eye on a tent peg, another woman falling off her mobility scooter and a man who had broken his ankle in two places.

Patricia, 51, was brought by ambulance to the hospital who tripped while camping and landed eye-first on to a tent peg.

She could not tell the medical team how far it went in or what kind of peg it was because it was “pitch black”.

While the peg was not in her eye, viewers had to brave seeing Patricia’s gruesome eye injury when the nurse removed her bandages to inspect the damage.

She was for a CT scan which showed a bleed on the brain neurosurgeon Dr Kenneth stepped in to assess Patricia.

“Bleeding on the brain is always something we take very seriously… any further bleeding extension could kill the patient, so we need to monitor for 24 hours,” he told the cameras.

Patricia was also seen by the ophthalmology team and facial surgeon who treated the injury above her eye.

Viewers saw the very graphic moment the surgeon injected the injured and swollen area.

But nurses and doctors admitted Patricia was “very lucky” things did not go worse and she still had her vision.

Fans were happy for Patricia but very shocked at her injury.

“Just watched A&E after dark… Patricia’s eye! OMG!,” wrote one fan on Twitter.

Another added: “me and my brother watching A&E After Dark and at the sight of a serious injury I went: “dear lord!! put something else on!!!”

And a third wrote: “I’ve started watching A&E After Dark set in Hull Royal Infirmary. I haven’t watched it before now as I used to work there, I’d forgotten just how resilient you need to be to work in a hospital.”

Channel 5 had warned Friday’s episode would be particularly gory to watch.

“In tonight’s episode of A&E After Dark, patients in Hull’s emergency department are falling, but not in the way you’d hope,” it said ahead of the episode.

“A string of people are turning up with various different injuries relating to falls.

“A strong stomach is required for tonight’s episode of A&E After Dark, which showcases the incredible work of staff on the night shift at Hull Royal Infirmary.”

Other cases seen on Friday’s episode included Carmen, 58, who was flown from Skegness by air ambulance.

She had fallen 15ft down a ditch after taking a wrong turn on holiday and needed a CT scan for a neck injury.

Carmen made a full recovery, but her mobility scooter did not survive.

Next, viewers had to brave watching doctors manipulate the ankle of Mark, 52, after he broke it in two places.

The dad swears as the medical snap push it back into place.

Tom, 81, apologised to doctors after he took a fall at home while getting his dinner and suffered a serious face and neck injury.

Dr Gopal told him not to apologised and got stuck into treating his injuries.
