X Factor contestant stabbed in the heart King Cross ER season 2 to premiere on Foxtel Raw footage shows the inside of emergency rooms FOR the first time graphic footage of the moment when heart surgeon Dr Michael Byrom saves the life of X Factor contestant Jelal Edmonds can be seen on TV. The first episode of the second series of Kings Cross ER, airs this Thursday night (February 14) on Foxtel and it's gripping stuff. The hour-long doco shows a team of doctors at St Vincent's hospital in Sydney perform heart surgery on the 19-year-old rapper in the "resus bay" after the operating room is occupied with a head trauma case. The young artist was rushed to hospital in October 2012 after being stabbed in the heart following a confrontation with a patron outside a club in the early hours of the morning. "Another minute or two and I would have been dead," Edmonds said after recovering from his injuries. Luckily we were close to a hospital, that's what saved me. In the compelling hospital footage Edmonds can be seen withering in pain as doctors fight to stop the profuse bleeding and repair his severed artery. If you've ever wondered what it's like inside an emergency room, this is about as close as you'll get. It's not easy to watch but it does give you a huge sense of respect for the doctors who are faced with this reality every day and makes you pray you never have to experience it firsthand.
