Look at it another way - Charlie was already on a downer and clearly not in the correct frame of mind for attending a majax (sp?). If he is supposed to have been in nursing for 35 years, he will have encountered many screaming children throughout his career, and surely would have developed a strategy for dealing with them.
And his later blow-up with Connie (who admittedly was being provocative) together with his rant at Nathan, this perhaps not unjustified, and finally Maggie's challenge "Where's Charlie and what have you done with him?" clearly confirmed Charlie was not his normal self.

The "strategy" to stop hysteria is shock. They used to administer a slap but you can't do that anymore, so it seems like a reasonable alternative is to shout in a frightening way.
Doubtless you'll say it's "political correctness gone mad", but don't let me deprive you of your moment.
I joyed last nights episode. I loved the scene when Charlie is in the hospital when its been evacuated and the camera kept looking at the bag. I was expecting another explosion.
I loathed everything about it! The film look is irritating, especially when used in conjunction with lots of extreme close-ups and whip pans. Grotesque overacting by the new doctor. And the complete absence of any back reference to the major events at the end of the last series is a bit daft.

Well I won't give you that satisfaction in this case because then, as now, there are things we miss while in other ways things have changed for the better, ie. not getting physical (or verbal) with difficult patients. Other than to stand by my original comments I have no desire to debate this any further.
I loved Connie's entrance! As soon as she arrives order is immediately restored (good ol' Connie).
Return to the old music I like (the orchestral theme wasn't my favourite) but it doesn't fit with the current titles. Have the Casualty team given us a clue to why they got rid of it?
Methinks that so many characters are leaving in the coming weeks because they don't fit in with the new style of Casualty.
After being impressed with "back to basics" on Saturday, I thought Sunday had gone the other extreme. Beyond the approach of Series 1 and perhaps too deep and meaningful. Casualty may struggle to maintain interest over 48 weeks if this is how it's going to be.

The administration of shock triggers a physiological response to stop the patient from hyperventilating, or other trauma associated with an adrenaline-loaded panic attack.
You may stand by a lamp post if you like, you're still wrong.
