Casualty viewers were left praising Indie Jankowski (played by Naomi Wakszlak) as the new student paramedic arrived during Saturday’s episode of the BBC medical drama.
Fans may recognise Indie after she appeared in an episode over Christmas where she initially got off on the wrong foot with Jan (Di Botcher) during training.
However, following an inspiring speech from Jan, trainee Indie demanded she did her placement at Holby, which was agreed.
During the latest instalment (January 11), Indie started her placement and found herself on a horror shift. Following a drive-by shooting, Indie attended to one victim who was concealing a gun.

In a fast thinking move, she managed to convince the man to hand over the gun by stating he could loose his leg if he’s not rushed to hospital.
But, moments later, the buddy paramedic made a tragic discovery as she followed droplets of blood to a young boy suffering from a single gunshot wound to the chest and began the battle to save his life.
The shock of the incident left Indie stunned and unable to administer medication before Jan took over. Later in the episode, the young boy’s mum hugged Indie for saving his life following the shooting.
