0:01:01 > 0:01:05Hello, my name's Dr Ranj. Welcome to my surgery. Are you well?
0:01:05 > 0:01:06ALL: Yes!
0:01:06 > 0:01:09Oh, good, someone's not feeling well.
0:01:09 > 0:01:13I wonder who my next patient is. Who's come to visit me?
0:01:13 > 0:01:17Who will it be? Can you guess which friend it is? Let's see.
0:01:17 > 0:01:20It's...
0:01:20 > 0:01:21Riz.
0:01:22 > 0:01:24# The world's still full of what and why
0:01:24 > 0:01:27# I really have to know
0:01:27 > 0:01:31# How does it work and what is this?
0:01:31 > 0:01:33# And where does that thing go?
0:01:33 > 0:01:37# So much to know
0:01:37 > 0:01:40# So much to learn and do
0:01:40 > 0:01:47# When I find out something new I want to shout - woooh!
0:01:47 > 0:01:50# So much to know
0:01:50 > 0:01:53# So much to learn and do
0:01:53 > 0:01:57# When I find out something new
0:01:57 > 0:01:58# I want to shout
0:01:58 > 0:01:59# Woo-hoo! #
0:02:02 > 0:02:04Come on in, Riz.
0:02:04 > 0:02:06Hello, Doctor.
0:02:06 > 0:02:08Hello, Riz. How can I help?
0:02:08 > 0:02:10Ooh! Ow! Oh!
0:02:10 > 0:02:12- What on earth's the matter?- Look!
0:02:15 > 0:02:19There are rocks in the park, and I was climbing one
0:02:19 > 0:02:25to get a better look at a huge spider before it crawled into a crack.
0:02:25 > 0:02:28But I slipped, and cut my arm on a sharp bit.
0:02:28 > 0:02:32It was bleeding, and it really hurts.
0:02:32 > 0:02:35Oh, I'm sorry to hear that. Can I have a closer look?
0:02:35 > 0:02:40Well, not really, I've got a plaster on it and I can't take it off.
0:02:40 > 0:02:44So I see, did you clean that cut before you put the plaster on?
0:02:44 > 0:02:47No. Should I have?
0:02:47 > 0:02:50Yes, I need to take that plaster off so we can help you.
0:02:50 > 0:02:56Ah! The worst thing is I didn't even get a look at the spider.
0:02:56 > 0:02:58It scurried right off.
0:02:58 > 0:03:02Ohh! That's a shame. How about...
0:03:07 > 0:03:10..a balloon spider instead?!
0:03:10 > 0:03:12Wow! Thank you.
0:03:12 > 0:03:14I'll just clean my hands.
0:03:14 > 0:03:18Did you know that spiders don't have arms but they do have eight legs?
0:03:18 > 0:03:22So, if a spider cuts one of her legs she's OK,
0:03:22 > 0:03:25because she's got other legs to get about.
0:03:25 > 0:03:27Lucky spider.
0:03:27 > 0:03:30True, but imagine how many socks she'd need.
0:03:30 > 0:03:34- Ho-ho-ho.- You're funny. Right, let's get this plaster off.
0:03:36 > 0:03:40- Are you ready now?- Yes, I'm ready.
0:03:40 > 0:03:42Right.
0:03:42 > 0:03:44Ooooh! Puddles.
0:03:45 > 0:03:48- Very brave, Riz. - Ooh, what's that stuff in it?
0:03:48 > 0:03:51Dirt from the rock. Clean your cut as soon as possible
0:03:51 > 0:03:54because dirt can cause an infection.
0:03:54 > 0:03:55Infection?
0:03:55 > 0:03:59Bad germs that get inside the body and make the cut worse.
0:03:59 > 0:04:01How does it feel?
0:04:01 > 0:04:03Very stingy and itchy.
0:04:03 > 0:04:06It's OK, just a small cut, it should heal quickly
0:04:06 > 0:04:08once I've cleaned it.
0:04:08 > 0:04:10- Hmmm.- Something wrong, Riz?
0:04:10 > 0:04:13It may be a small cut to you, Dr Ranj,
0:04:13 > 0:04:15but it's the biggest cut I've ever had.
0:04:15 > 0:04:18I'm sorry, it must be really sore.
0:04:18 > 0:04:23Oh, so, what if it was a ginormous cut, what would happen?
0:04:23 > 0:04:27If it's deep and bleeding show the person looking after you.
0:04:27 > 0:04:31- OK.- If it's really deep you might have to see a doctor or a nurse.
0:04:31 > 0:04:34The skin might need to be stitched or stuck together
0:04:34 > 0:04:37with wound glue, and some of these.
0:04:37 > 0:04:40Ooh, they're like sticky tape.
0:04:40 > 0:04:42Do they hold the cut together?
0:04:42 > 0:04:45Yes, but yours doesn't need any help, your body
0:04:45 > 0:04:47will make a scab over that.
0:04:47 > 0:04:49A scab?
0:04:49 > 0:04:51Oh, I've had scabs before.
0:04:51 > 0:04:54They're crusty, red-y and brown, aren't they?
0:04:54 > 0:04:57- That's right.- Why do we get scabs?
0:04:57 > 0:05:00Great question, let's ask Nurse Morag
0:05:00 > 0:05:03and the Healthy Helpers team to explain.
0:05:06 > 0:05:09- Hello, Nurse Morag. - Hiya, is that Riz?
0:05:09 > 0:05:12Yes, it's me, Nurse Morag.
0:05:12 > 0:05:14Why do we get scabs over a cut?
0:05:14 > 0:05:16Scabs! Now that's a good question.
0:05:16 > 0:05:22I think I need my Healthy Helpers to help me answer that one.
0:05:22 > 0:05:25# Catch that ball Yeah, it's your go
0:05:25 > 0:05:28# Give me questions Catch and throw
0:05:28 > 0:05:31# Healthy Helpers will show and tell How you can keep fit and well
0:05:31 > 0:05:32# Ask the nurse
0:05:32 > 0:05:34# Catch that ball Yeah, it's your go
0:05:34 > 0:05:37# Give me questions Catch and throw
0:05:37 > 0:05:39# Healthy Helpers will show and tell
0:05:39 > 0:05:42# How you can keep fit and well
0:05:42 > 0:05:45# Ask me what you need to know
0:05:45 > 0:05:48# Ask the nurse
0:05:48 > 0:05:50# Catch that ball Yeah, it's your go
0:05:50 > 0:05:52# Give me questions Catch and throw
0:05:52 > 0:05:54# Healthy Helpers will show and tell
0:05:54 > 0:05:57# How you can keep fit and well
0:05:57 > 0:06:01# Ask me what you need to know
0:06:01 > 0:06:05# Give me questions Catch and throw! #
0:06:05 > 0:06:09Today, I'm in Nottingham and my Healthy Helpers are...
0:06:09 > 0:06:12Hi, my name's Nod and I love pythons.
0:06:12 > 0:06:15Hello, my name's Cher and I like taekwondo.
0:06:15 > 0:06:19Hi, my name's Freddie and I like football.
0:06:19 > 0:06:24Hi, my name's Lilly and I love horses.
0:06:24 > 0:06:27Right, Healthy Helpers, have any of you ever
0:06:27 > 0:06:31cut yourself when you've fallen or bumped into something?
0:06:31 > 0:06:33Can you tell me about it?
0:06:33 > 0:06:37I was playing on a big climbing frame with my friends and then
0:06:37 > 0:06:45I saw some skin coming off and then I ran to Mummy and got some sweets...
0:06:45 > 0:06:50- Oh!- ..for being brave. - Oh, I bet you were very brave, yeah.
0:06:50 > 0:06:52So whenever you all cut yourself,
0:06:52 > 0:06:55did any of you get anything to put on your cuts?
0:06:55 > 0:06:58- Plaster.- That's right, excellent.
0:06:58 > 0:07:01Do you guys know your body is so clever
0:07:01 > 0:07:03it can make its own special plaster?
0:07:03 > 0:07:05Does anyone know what it's called?
0:07:05 > 0:07:09- Scab.- That's right. It's called a scab.
0:07:09 > 0:07:12And what are scabs good at doing?
0:07:12 > 0:07:14Erm...
0:07:14 > 0:07:16protecting your skin.
0:07:16 > 0:07:20Absolutely, Lilly, because scabs cover the cut
0:07:20 > 0:07:25just like a plaster does and they keep it nice and clean, don't they?
0:07:25 > 0:07:28A scab stops more blood coming out,
0:07:28 > 0:07:31but it also stops something else getting in.
0:07:31 > 0:07:34- Germs.- That's right. You guys are really clever.
0:07:34 > 0:07:37A scab stops germs and dirt getting in.
0:07:37 > 0:07:41So, shall we play a game to find out more about why we get scabs on cuts?
0:07:41 > 0:07:43ALL: Yeah!
0:07:43 > 0:07:45Yeah? OK, guys, let's go.
0:07:45 > 0:07:47Right, Healthy Helpers.
0:07:47 > 0:07:51Let's pretend that someone's fallen over and cut their arm.
0:07:51 > 0:07:55This can be our cut, just like the cut in poor Riz's arm.
0:07:55 > 0:07:59And we're going to cover the cut with the scab.
0:07:59 > 0:08:01Right, so we've got one,
0:08:01 > 0:08:03two,
0:08:03 > 0:08:05three
0:08:05 > 0:08:07and four.
0:08:07 > 0:08:11If you all come over here, OK.
0:08:11 > 0:08:14We've got two buckets.
0:08:14 > 0:08:19In this bucket we have our green balloons which is dirt. Urgh!
0:08:19 > 0:08:23And over here we have the yellow one which is germs.
0:08:23 > 0:08:27And what you need to do is you need to throw the dirt
0:08:27 > 0:08:30and germs at the scab and see what happens.
0:08:30 > 0:08:32Will any dirt or germs get into the cut?
0:08:32 > 0:08:34ALL: No!
0:08:34 > 0:08:38- Why not?- Because the scab's protecting it.- Oh!
0:08:38 > 0:08:39Will we find out?
0:08:39 > 0:08:41ALL: Yeah!
0:08:41 > 0:08:43OK, then, go.
0:08:43 > 0:08:47That's it. As hard as you can.
0:08:47 > 0:08:51Keep throwing guys, harder. Ooooh!
0:08:51 > 0:08:54And again, ooohh!
0:08:58 > 0:09:02Excellent. Do you know what, Healthy Helpers? You were right.
0:09:02 > 0:09:08No dirt or germs got into the cut because the scab... What did it do?
0:09:08 > 0:09:11- It's protected it.- That's right.
0:09:11 > 0:09:15While the scab's over the cut, new skin grows underneath.
0:09:15 > 0:09:19- Did you know that?- Yes.- Yes.- And I think our scab's ready to come off.
0:09:19 > 0:09:23- Will we have a look and see? - ALL: Yeah!
0:09:23 > 0:09:26OK.
0:09:26 > 0:09:29CHILDREN MURMUR
0:09:29 > 0:09:33Yes, it's all healed.
0:09:33 > 0:09:36Right, Healthy Helpers, our cut's healed,
0:09:36 > 0:09:40and the scab's fallen off because new skin underneath was ready.
0:09:40 > 0:09:43And you'll soon have a scab, Riz, which is amazing
0:09:43 > 0:09:45because scabs are like plasters.
0:09:45 > 0:09:49They stop the bleeding and keep out the dirt and germs.
0:09:49 > 0:09:52And soon the scab will fall off
0:09:52 > 0:09:57because you'll have lovely new skin underneath.
0:09:57 > 0:10:00ALL: Bye, Riz. Get well soon.
0:10:00 > 0:10:05- Bye, thank you.- Bye, Healthy Helpers. Bye, Nurse Morag.
0:10:05 > 0:10:07Scabs are awesome.
0:10:07 > 0:10:11Yes, so let's make sure your body makes a really good scab
0:10:11 > 0:10:14by cleaning your cut and keeping it dry.
0:10:14 > 0:10:20- I'm going to use some cool water and a clean piece of cloth.- OK.
0:10:20 > 0:10:24My friend had a big scab on her knee.
0:10:24 > 0:10:25It was big and crusty
0:10:25 > 0:10:28and she was waving it around on the end of her finger.
0:10:28 > 0:10:32- Disgusting.- Well, I hope you don't pick your scabs.- Why?
0:10:32 > 0:10:36Because it'll take longer for your cut to heal and maybe leave a scar.
0:10:38 > 0:10:42- What is that?- Antiseptic cream. - Ant-eye septic?
0:10:42 > 0:10:45Sounds like a medicine for ants, not children. Ho-ho!
0:10:45 > 0:10:49Antiseptic just means it stops infection.
0:10:49 > 0:10:52It gets rid of any germs that are lurking around.
0:10:52 > 0:10:55It's not necessary for small cuts but let's just be sure.
0:10:55 > 0:10:59- So my cut is super clean?- Absolutely.
0:10:59 > 0:11:04Dr Ranj, my cut is drying already.
0:11:04 > 0:11:06Great, it'll be a lovely scab soon.
0:11:06 > 0:11:08Can I have my old plaster back now, please?
0:11:08 > 0:11:13- Oh, no, I've thrown it away, it was dirty.- Oh.
0:11:13 > 0:11:17Hang on, let's see if I've got something over here for you.
0:11:17 > 0:11:18Pick a hand, Riz.
0:11:18 > 0:11:20Um, that one.
0:11:20 > 0:11:25Ah, a plaster. With dinosaurs on it!
0:11:25 > 0:11:27Ha-ha, yeah, let me put it on for you.
0:11:27 > 0:11:32- How did you know I like dinosaurs? - Ah, I guessed you would.
0:11:32 > 0:11:35Thank you. Oh, it's great.
0:11:35 > 0:11:38And you know, you don't have to come to me
0:11:38 > 0:11:41for a cut this size, your dad could do this at home.
0:11:41 > 0:11:46- He can pop on a plaster!- Indeed.
0:11:46 > 0:11:50Wow, Dr Ranj, my plaster is the most amazing thing ever!
0:11:50 > 0:11:53Thank you so much.
0:11:53 > 0:11:57# When you've cut yourself somehow
0:11:57 > 0:12:00# And you shout out, ow-ow-ow
0:12:00 > 0:12:01# Ow!

0:12:17 > 0:12:20# Pop on a plaster to keep the germs away
0:12:20 > 0:12:22# Away! #
0:12:22 > 0:12:28Dr Ranj, I bet you wish you had a plaster like mine. You do, I know it.
0:12:28 > 0:12:32# When your cut is clean and dry
0:12:32 > 0:12:36- # The germs will say bye-bye-bye - Goodbye!
0:12:36 > 0:12:39# Then you can run outside and play again
0:12:39 > 0:12:43# If you pop on a plaster Your cut will heal OK

0:13:03 > 0:13:07# Pop on a plaster Your cut will heal OK
0:13:07 > 0:13:11# Pop on a plaster to keep the germs away. #
0:13:11 > 0:13:12I've been so brave.
0:13:15 > 0:13:20A plaster will protect the cut and keep it clean if you're playing.
0:13:20 > 0:13:22When can I climb rocks again?
0:13:22 > 0:13:25Well, your arm might be sore for a bit
0:13:25 > 0:13:27but it won't stop you exploring, will it?
0:13:27 > 0:13:32No way. Erm, Doctor. Can I have my badge now, please?
0:13:32 > 0:13:34Of course.
0:13:34 > 0:13:38There you go. Just remember to be more careful next time.
0:13:38 > 0:13:41You've only got two arms and legs, not like a spider.
0:13:41 > 0:13:45- Ho-ho, I will. Bye.- Bye, Riz.
0:13:46 > 0:13:49And you be careful, too. See you next time.
0:13:49 > 0:13:52Till then, be happy, be healthy.
