"Alcohol fueled violence is on the increase, and it's putting a huge drain on our health system. According to Queensland Health figures for the first nine months of the 2011-2012 year, 761 patients were admitted to public hospitals after being hit, struck, kicked, twisted, bitten or scratched by another person. And this is the busiest time of the week for those left to pick up the pieces, including Dr. Anthony Lynham, a maxillo-facial surgeon from the Royal Brisbane Hospital".

Listen to the interview with Dr Lynham as he recounts some of the injuries sustained over the weekend and how his team will put people back together commencing Monday mornings.
