Holby City apologises for inaccuracy

OHMYGOSSIP — ‘Holby City’ bosses have apologised for misrepresenting the treatment of a diabetes patient in last week’s episode.
Doctor Jeong-Soo Han was seen treating the patient – who was suspected of having diabetes – during the episode, telling him that he was “hyperglycaemic” and needed glucose.
However, fans of the show quickly pointed out an important factual inaccuracy – that a glucagon injection is actually recommended to patients who are suffering a ‘hypo’.
This means that blood sugar levels are actually too low, rather than too high, as the show suggested.
‘Holby’ bosses have now apologised for the error.
In a statement, they said on the ‘Holby City’ Instagram account: “Thank you to everyone who got in touch about our error on last week’s #HolbyCity where a patient was administered the wrong medicine for diabetes. We are actively taking measures to correct the error before any further broadcast of the episode. (sic)”
Earlier this month, meanwhile, ‘Holby’ producers confirmed that the show will end in 2022.
The medical drama, created by Tony McHale and Mal Young, first aired in 1999 and its final series will be broadcast in March next year.
The BBC said in a statement: “We are incredibly proud of ‘Holby City’ but it’s with great sadness that we are announcing that after 23 years, the show will end on screen in March of next year.
“We sometimes have to make difficult decisions to make room for new opportunities and as part of the BBC’s commitment to make more programmes across the UK, we have taken the difficult decision to bring the show to a close in order to reshape the BBC’s drama slate to better reflect, represent and serve all parts of the country.”
