0:01:59 > 0:02:01Hello. I'm in one of our wards.

0:02:01 > 0:02:04This is where you stay, before and after an operation,

0:02:04 > 0:02:07or if you're not well enough to be at home.

0:02:07 > 0:02:09I'm here visiting a friend today.

0:02:09 > 0:02:12Who's having a visit from me? Who will it be?

0:02:12 > 0:02:16Can you guess which friend it is? Let's see.

0:02:18 > 0:02:20I know who that is! It's...

0:02:21 > 0:02:23..Kiwa!

0:02:25 > 0:02:27Wee!

0:02:28 > 0:02:30# I've got wheels and I can ride

0:02:48 > 0:02:51# I've got wheels Round and round and round

0:02:51 > 0:02:53# I've got wheels Whizzing round. #

0:02:53 > 0:02:56I've got wheels! Woo!

0:02:56 > 0:02:58Hello, Kiwa!

0:02:58 > 0:02:59Hello, Doctor Ranj.

0:02:59 > 0:03:02- I hope I'm not interrupting anything. - No, it's OK.

0:03:02 > 0:03:05I was just reading a book about wizards, look.

0:03:05 > 0:03:07"Frog-ius-pog-ius!"

0:03:07 > 0:03:10- TWINKLING SOUND - Oh.

0:03:10 > 0:03:12You were supposed to turn into a frog.

0:03:12 > 0:03:16I'm glad I didn't. I'm fine as I am, thank you.

0:03:16 > 0:03:19- But, how are you feeling today? - I feel OK.

0:03:19 > 0:03:22Doctor Ranj, I'm going to have an operation.

0:03:22 > 0:03:26I know, Kiwa. That's why you're here and that's why I've come to see you.

0:03:26 > 0:03:28Um...

0:03:28 > 0:03:31Why am I in bed when it's not bedtime?

0:03:31 > 0:03:35It's so that we can look after and get you ready for your operation.

0:03:35 > 0:03:39Oh. What do you have to do, Doctor Ranj?

0:03:39 > 0:03:42Well, today we're going to fit you with a nasogastric tube.

0:03:42 > 0:03:44Really?

0:03:44 > 0:03:46Why do I need a noisy plastic shoe?

0:03:46 > 0:03:50DOCTOR RANJ LAUGHS You don't, Kiwa. I said, "Nasogastric tube".

0:03:50 > 0:03:51Huh?

0:03:51 > 0:03:54Naso...gastric...tube.

0:03:54 > 0:03:58Naso...gastric...tube.

0:03:58 > 0:04:02That's it! We call it an N G tube, for short.

0:04:02 > 0:04:05Well, why didn't you say so in the first place?

0:04:05 > 0:04:08N G tube is much easier to say,

0:04:08 > 0:04:10but I still don't know what it is.

0:04:10 > 0:04:15An N G tube is a soft, bendy tube that goes from your nose

0:04:15 > 0:04:17down to your tummy.

0:04:17 > 0:04:20- KIWA GASPS - Into my tummy?- Yes.

0:04:21 > 0:04:23Ah, through my bellybutton.

0:04:23 > 0:04:26DOCTOR RANJ LAUGHS No, Kiwa. It goes down into your

0:04:26 > 0:04:28tummy by going inside your nose.

0:04:28 > 0:04:34- Inside? You mean up my nose?- Yes.

0:04:35 > 0:04:40- Ew!- It sounds strange, I know, but an N G tube means that we can give

0:04:40 > 0:04:43you special food, or medicine, if we need to.

0:04:43 > 0:04:48But, how does the tube go from my nose to my tummy?

0:04:48 > 0:04:51I mean, my tummy's all the way down there.

0:04:51 > 0:04:53I'll show you, look.

0:04:57 > 0:05:00The tube goes into your nose,

0:05:00 > 0:05:01to the back of your throat,

0:05:01 > 0:05:05and from there it slides down into your stomach,

0:05:05 > 0:05:09the same way as when you swallow food and drink.

0:05:09 > 0:05:12But I don't put food and drink up my nose, Doctor Ranj.

0:05:12 > 0:05:15I know, and you shouldn't put anything up your nose,

0:05:15 > 0:05:18but doctors and nurse are specially trained

0:05:18 > 0:05:21to put an N G tube in your nose safely, so that's OK!

0:05:21 > 0:05:23How do you do it, Doctor Ranj?

0:05:23 > 0:05:28Well, first we need to measure so we know how far to put the tube down.

0:05:28 > 0:05:29Ooh.

0:05:29 > 0:05:33With the tube we measure from your nose

0:05:33 > 0:05:34to your ear

0:05:34 > 0:05:38and then to the bottom of your chest, like this.

0:05:38 > 0:05:39Oh.

0:05:39 > 0:05:42- We need to go down to 55 centimetres.- Ooh.

0:05:42 > 0:05:48- Shall we see if we can slide it down to your tummy, now?- OK. But...

0:05:48 > 0:05:50Will it hurt, Doctor Ranj?

0:05:50 > 0:05:53No, Kiwa, it won't hurt. It might feel a bit funny when I

0:05:53 > 0:05:55first put it into your nose.

0:05:55 > 0:05:58- It might tickle or make you cough. - Oh.

0:05:58 > 0:05:59You may even sneeze.

0:05:59 > 0:06:03Sometimes it helps if you try to swallow as it goes down.

0:06:03 > 0:06:04OK, I'll try.

0:06:04 > 0:06:07Once the tube is in place, you'll soon get used to it

0:06:07 > 0:06:11- and you'll be able to breathe and swallow normally.- Oh, good.

0:06:11 > 0:06:15To help it slide smoothly, I'm going to put some gel on the tip

0:06:15 > 0:06:18of the tube and then we're ready to go, OK?

0:06:18 > 0:06:19OK. Ready.

0:06:22 > 0:06:25SQUIDGE!

0:06:26 > 0:06:29Great. Now, try and keep as still as you can

0:06:29 > 0:06:31and it won't take long at all.

0:06:31 > 0:06:33KIWA COUGHS

0:06:33 > 0:06:38That's great, Kiwa. You're doing very well. Nearly done.

0:06:38 > 0:06:40And...

0:06:40 > 0:06:45There. All in place. Now, if you just hold still for a tiny bit longer.

0:06:45 > 0:06:49I just need to stick some tape on your cheek.

0:06:49 > 0:06:52And there. All done. How's that?

0:06:52 > 0:06:53Uh... It felt funny.

0:06:54 > 0:06:57It still feels funny. It tickles!

0:06:57 > 0:06:59I know. You'll soon get used to it.

0:06:59 > 0:07:02You'll probably forget it's even there.

0:07:02 > 0:07:04Really? Forget what's even where?

0:07:04 > 0:07:07THEY LAUGH You've forgotten already.

0:07:07 > 0:07:08I haven't really.

0:07:08 > 0:07:11You'll get used to it. Don't worry.

0:07:14 > 0:07:17# If you're sick and you can't eat food

0:07:17 > 0:07:19# Or your tum's not in the mood

0:07:19 > 0:07:21# I know it sounds a little funny

0:07:21 > 0:07:24# N G tube going down to your tummy... #

0:07:24 > 0:07:26Ooh.

0:07:26 > 0:07:28# Bendy nasogastric tube

0:07:28 > 0:07:31# Will make you go all sneezy

0:07:31 > 0:07:33# Because we put some gel on it

0:07:33 > 0:07:35# To make it slide down easy... #

0:07:35 > 0:07:36It did!

0:07:36 > 0:07:38# Bendy nasogastric tube

0:07:38 > 0:07:41# Goes in nice and slow

0:07:41 > 0:07:43# Gets that food and medicine

0:07:43 > 0:07:45# Just where it needs to go

0:07:45 > 0:07:49# If you're sick and you can't eat food

0:07:49 > 0:07:51# Or your tum's not in the mood

0:07:51 > 0:07:54# I know it sounds a little funny

0:07:54 > 0:07:56# N G tube going down to your tummy

0:07:58 > 0:08:00# Bendy nasogastric tube

0:08:00 > 0:08:03# It slips inside your nose... # KIWA LAUGHS

0:08:03 > 0:08:07# Then tickles just a little And wriggles as it goes

0:08:07 > 0:08:10# Bendy nasogastric tube

0:08:10 > 0:08:12# Goes in nice and slow

0:08:12 > 0:08:14# Gets that food and medicine

0:08:14 > 0:08:18# Just where it needs to go. #

0:08:24 > 0:08:28So, there you go, Kiwa. Your nasogastric tube helps us to look

0:08:28 > 0:08:31after your stomach and what goes inside it.

0:08:31 > 0:08:34It's really important that we look after our stomachs.

0:08:34 > 0:08:38Thanks, Doctor Ranj. And I think I'm getting used to it already.

0:08:38 > 0:08:41That's good, Kiwa. Now, you can get back to your book

0:08:41 > 0:08:45and I'd better go before you learn how to turn me into a frog.

0:08:45 > 0:08:48Don't worry, Doctor Ranj. I'm not that good, just yet.

0:08:48 > 0:08:52Let's see if together we can magic you up a sticker, shall we?

0:08:52 > 0:08:57A sticker? OK. We can try. Ahem...

0:08:57 > 0:08:59"Trickius-stickius!"

0:08:59 > 0:09:02TWINKLING SOUND Tah-dah!

0:09:02 > 0:09:09- Ah! It worked! Thanks, Doctor Ranj. - You deserve it. Well done, Kiwa.

0:09:09 > 0:09:11I'll see you again, soon.

0:09:11 > 0:09:13- OK. Bye, Doctor Ranj.- Bye, Kiwa!

0:09:18 > 0:09:20It's time for me and everyone here

0:09:20 > 0:09:23at the children's hospital to say goodbye now.

0:09:23 > 0:09:26Thanks for coming to see us. See you next time.

0:09:26 > 0:09:30But, until then, be happy, be healthy and get well soon!

0:09:49 > 0:09:52If you're not feeling well, it's always best

0:09:52 > 0:09:57to go and see your own doctor and get well soon!
