0:01:02 > 0:01:03Hello, I'm Dr Ranj.
0:01:03 > 0:01:08Welcome to our very special hospital, just for children.
0:01:08 > 0:01:10Come on, I'll show you around.
0:01:16 > 0:01:20Lots of clever people like doctors and nurses work here,
0:01:20 > 0:01:25and they're specially trained to care for children just like you.
0:01:29 > 0:01:33You may come here because you're not feeling well.
0:01:33 > 0:01:37Or you need to have a test. Or an operation.
0:01:39 > 0:01:41- Hello.- Hello, Dr Ranj.
0:01:43 > 0:01:46But don't worry. Whatever you're here for,
0:01:46 > 0:01:50there'll be someone like me to check that you're healthy,
0:01:50 > 0:01:52or to help you get well soon.
0:01:54 > 0:01:57This is my floor. I better get to work.
0:01:57 > 0:02:00Hello. I'm in the plaster room -
0:02:00 > 0:02:05where you come if you've got a broken bone or what we call a fracture.
0:02:05 > 0:02:09I have a patient coming to see me today. Who's come to visit me?
0:02:09 > 0:02:10Who will it be?
0:02:10 > 0:02:13Can you guess which friend it is? Let's see.
0:02:15 > 0:02:17I know who that is.
0:02:18 > 0:02:20It's Petal.
0:02:20 > 0:02:25# With buttons and bangles that jangle as I hop
0:02:25 > 0:02:28# When I'm having so much fun it's hard for me to stop
0:02:28 > 0:02:33# Twirling, twisting, when I'm singing any song I choose
0:02:33 > 0:02:37# Twirling, twisting, skating, skipping in my dancing shoes
0:02:37 > 0:02:41# Twirling, twisting, when I'm singing any song I choose
0:02:41 > 0:02:45# Twirling, twisting, skating, skipping in my dancing shoes
0:02:45 > 0:02:51# Twirling, twisting, skating skipping in my dancing shoes. Woo! #
0:02:52 > 0:02:56- Hello, Petal. Good to see you. Come in.- Hello, Dr Ranj.
0:02:56 > 0:02:59You've been in the plaster room before, haven't you?
0:02:59 > 0:03:04- When I broke my arm.- That's right. You have a fractured radius.
0:03:04 > 0:03:09- As well as my broken arm?- No, that's just another name for the same thing.
0:03:09 > 0:03:13Look. Here's a picture of your arm and the bones inside it.
0:03:13 > 0:03:17This one, from your elbow to your wrist, is called the radius.
0:03:17 > 0:03:24- Oh, radius.- And a fracture is another word for a crack or a break.
0:03:24 > 0:03:27- Fracture.- Perfect.
0:03:27 > 0:03:30- And yours is fractured there, look. - Oh, yes.
0:03:30 > 0:03:35- Your plaster cast protects the bone inside so it can mend.- Hmm.
0:03:35 > 0:03:36I put stickers on it.
0:03:36 > 0:03:41And my friends drew pictures and wrote their names too, look.
0:03:41 > 0:03:42That's great!
0:03:42 > 0:03:47- How does your arm feel now? - It hurt a lot at first but not now.
0:03:47 > 0:03:51I think my plaster cast needs mending, Dr Ranj.
0:03:51 > 0:03:54Look, it's a bit crumbly here, and it's dirty.
0:03:54 > 0:03:58I wanted to wash it but they said I shouldn't get it wet.
0:03:58 > 0:04:00Don't worry about that, Petal,
0:04:00 > 0:04:03- because today we're going to replace it.- What do you mean?
0:04:03 > 0:04:06Your arm needs little longer to mend,
0:04:06 > 0:04:10- so it's time for a new one. - A new arm?- No, a new cast.
0:04:10 > 0:04:12Come over here.
0:04:12 > 0:04:15But what about all my stickers and pictures?
0:04:15 > 0:04:19- I think you're going to like the new one even more.- Really? Why?
0:04:19 > 0:04:24The cast you have now is made from something called plaster of Paris,
0:04:24 > 0:04:28- but your new one will be made from special fibreglass.- Fibreglass?
0:04:28 > 0:04:31- Won't that break really easily? - No, Petal.
0:04:31 > 0:04:35Fibreglass is a type of plastic. It's very tough.
0:04:35 > 0:04:39Your new cast will be lighter and you'll be able to wipe it clean.
0:04:39 > 0:04:44- Oh, good.- So first, we need to carefully remove your old cast.
0:04:44 > 0:04:47- How? It's really stuck on. - Don't worry.
0:04:47 > 0:04:51I've got a special tool that will cut it off very quickly and easily.
0:04:51 > 0:04:54- Oh. Will it hurt? - No, it won't hurt, Petal.
0:04:54 > 0:04:58The tool I'm going to use isn't sharp like a saw or scissors.
0:04:58 > 0:05:02- It cuts the plaster with lots of tiny vibrations.- What does that mean?
0:05:02 > 0:05:04That means it's very shaky.
0:05:04 > 0:05:05SHE LAUGHS
0:05:05 > 0:05:10- Will I feel anything, Dr Ranj? - It will feel tingly and ticklish
0:05:10 > 0:05:15and it'll make a little bit of noise but it definitely won't hurt.
0:05:15 > 0:05:17- Are you ready to give it a go?- OK.
0:05:28 > 0:05:32It feels funny.
0:05:40 > 0:05:45Right, and now we very carefully open up the cast and take it off your arm.
0:05:48 > 0:05:52- It tickles.- There we go.
0:05:54 > 0:05:56And let's take that off.
0:06:00 > 0:06:04I haven't seen my arm for ages. Oh, it's all pale and thin.
0:06:04 > 0:06:08That's because it's been inside the cast for a long time.
0:06:08 > 0:06:11Poo-wee! It's a bit smelly, too.
0:06:11 > 0:06:14You haven't had a chance to wash it for a while, have you?
0:06:14 > 0:06:18But don't worry, I'll give it a wash and a fresh sleeve.
0:06:18 > 0:06:20What's that for?
0:06:20 > 0:06:24The sleeve is a nice soft layer between your arm and the cast.
0:06:24 > 0:06:27We add some padding to, to keep your arm comfortable
0:06:27 > 0:06:30and to protect your skin.
0:06:30 > 0:06:34Right. There we go. Let's get it's nice and clean.
0:06:34 > 0:06:36That feels much better.
0:06:36 > 0:06:39Good. Now, let's add the sleeve.
0:06:41 > 0:06:43There we are.
0:06:44 > 0:06:47And then we add some padding.
0:06:47 > 0:06:50Round and round it goes.
0:06:54 > 0:07:01- Oh, I like it.- Good. And now you get to choose the colour of the cast.
0:07:01 > 0:07:03I can choose? Cool!
0:07:03 > 0:07:07OK, we have blue, pink, purple...
0:07:07 > 0:07:09- Purple!- Or orange?
0:07:09 > 0:07:13Purple, purple! Oh, it's my most best, favourite colour ever, ever!
0:07:13 > 0:07:19- Not blue?- Purple!- Not pink?- Purple! - OK, purple it is, then.- Woohoo!
0:07:19 > 0:07:22So, we'll dip the purple bandage in some water,
0:07:22 > 0:07:25and wrap it around your arm.
0:07:33 > 0:07:36- There we go. - Will it set hard like my last one?
0:07:36 > 0:07:41Yes, your arm will still be protected and able to mend.
0:07:41 > 0:07:43I love the colour.
0:07:43 > 0:07:45That's looking really pretty.
0:07:49 > 0:07:50Nearly there.
0:07:50 > 0:07:53And you're done.
0:07:53 > 0:07:56I love it!
0:07:56 > 0:07:59You see, Petal, bones help your body work properly.
0:07:59 > 0:08:04That's why it's important they're strong and healthy.
0:08:04 > 0:08:07# Respect for your bones just think for a while
0:08:07 > 0:08:10# If you didn't have your bones you'd be laying in a pile
0:08:10 > 0:08:13# Respect for your bones just think for a while
0:08:13 > 0:08:16# If you didn't have your bones, you'd be laying in a pile
0:08:16 > 0:08:19# You've got bones in your fingers toes, legs and hands
0:08:19 > 0:08:22- # It's bones that help your body sit down and stand.- And stand!
0:08:22 > 0:08:25# You've got bones in your ankle, your head and your feet
0:08:25 > 0:08:28# If it wasn't for your bones, well, you'd be incomplete
0:08:28 > 0:08:31# Respect for your bones just think for a while
0:08:31 > 0:08:34# If you didn't have your bones you'd be laying in a pile
0:08:34 > 0:08:37# Respect for your bones just think for a while
0:08:37 > 0:08:40# If you didn't have your bones you'd be laying in a pile
0:08:40 > 0:08:43# Take care of those bones your bones are made to last
0:08:43 > 0:08:46# And if you break a bone you have to wear a cast
0:08:46 > 0:08:49# Some are made fibreglass, some are made of plaster
0:08:49 > 0:08:52# But every cast will help your bones heal a little faster
0:08:52 > 0:08:55# Respect for your bones just think for a while
0:08:55 > 0:08:58# If you didn't have your bones you'd be laying in a pile
0:08:58 > 0:09:01# Respect for your bones just think for a while
0:09:01 > 0:09:05# If you didn't have your bones you'd be laying in a pile. #
0:09:06 > 0:09:09So there you go, Petal.
0:09:09 > 0:09:13My new cast will help my arm get strong, won't it, Dr Ranj?
0:09:13 > 0:09:14Yes, it will.
0:09:14 > 0:09:19- Purple power!- I think you deserve a sticker for coming along today.
0:09:19 > 0:09:22- Aww, thank you, Dr Ranj. - And we'll see you again
0:09:22 > 0:09:26in a couple of months, to check how you're getting on.
0:09:26 > 0:09:28- OK, bye, Dr Ranj!- Bye, Petal.
0:09:28 > 0:09:32It's time for me and everyone here at the Children's Hospital
0:09:32 > 0:09:35to say goodbye now. Thanks to coming to see us.
0:09:35 > 0:09:36See you next time.
0:09:36 > 0:09:40But until then, be happy, be healthy, and get well soon.
0:09:59 > 0:10:03If you're not feeling well, it's always best to go and see
0:10:03 > 0:10:06your own doctor, and get well soon!
