0:00:23 > 0:00:24He's Dr Chris.
0:00:24 > 0:00:26He's Dr Xand.
0:00:26 > 0:00:29And we're identical twins.
0:00:29 > 0:00:31Well, we were until you grew your beard.
0:00:31 > 0:00:35In this series, we've taken over one of the biggest children's hospitals
0:00:35 > 0:00:39in Europe, the amazing Alder Hey in Liverpool.
0:00:39 > 0:00:41We've been going head-to-head,
0:00:41 > 0:00:43taking on the hospital's most important jobs.
0:00:43 > 0:00:46This isn't going well.
0:00:46 > 0:00:49Ouch & About has been hitting the wards for more medical mysteries.
0:00:49 > 0:00:53- That is a hole going inside your stomach.- Yes.
0:00:53 > 0:00:55And we've been meeting our brilliant ouch-patients,
0:00:55 > 0:00:57who come in for regular treatment.
0:00:57 > 0:00:58Hello.
0:00:58 > 0:01:02We've hidden in our lab in a top-secret location.
0:01:02 > 0:01:04And our experiments just...
0:01:04 > 0:01:08- Argh! ..got bigger.- Argh!
0:01:08 > 0:01:11You guys are crazy.
0:01:11 > 0:01:12So get ready to join us.
0:01:12 > 0:01:14It's going to be out of this world!
0:01:14 > 0:01:17- HE SPLUTTERS - What are you doing?!
0:01:17 > 0:01:19- Coming up today on... - ..Operation Ouch!
0:01:24 > 0:01:26We mess up in the kitchen.
0:01:27 > 0:01:28Ooh! Shouldn't have done that.
0:01:28 > 0:01:30We push it in the lab.
0:01:30 > 0:01:32Oh!
0:01:32 > 0:01:35And I show April something yucky.
0:01:35 > 0:01:38What were you expecting?
0:01:38 > 0:01:42But first, medical teams are trained to expect the unexpected.
0:01:42 > 0:01:44- Boo!- Told you so.
0:01:44 > 0:01:45OK, now try me.
0:01:45 > 0:01:47- Boo.- Argh!
0:01:50 > 0:01:53Waiting in Alder Hey's emergency department with her mum
0:01:53 > 0:01:55is 14-year-old Charlotte.
0:01:55 > 0:01:57- I was doing a tap dance.- 'Uh-huh.'
0:01:57 > 0:01:59We do loads of lifts and stuff.
0:01:59 > 0:02:01- 'Go on.' - And I just ended up falling.
0:02:01 > 0:02:03'Ooh, that doesn't sound good.'
0:02:03 > 0:02:05What I've been doing all day is, like,
0:02:05 > 0:02:07ow, ow, ow, like that, all day!
0:02:07 > 0:02:09OK. 'Ow' did it happen?
0:02:11 > 0:02:13Charlotte was at school in dance.
0:02:13 > 0:02:15Ooh, I love a good prance!
0:02:15 > 0:02:17She went to do a dance move.
0:02:17 > 0:02:21She's getting into her groove when she did a handstand.
0:02:21 > 0:02:23Where did she land?
0:02:23 > 0:02:25This is the worst rhyme ever, Xand.
0:02:25 > 0:02:27Anyway, it didn't go right.
0:02:27 > 0:02:30Oh, no. What a fright!
0:02:30 > 0:02:32She fell on her head on the floor.
0:02:32 > 0:02:34That sounds very sore.
0:02:34 > 0:02:35BOTH: Ouch!
0:02:35 > 0:02:37I'm supposed to do a dance tonight
0:02:37 > 0:02:39but I don't think I'll be able to do it.
0:02:39 > 0:02:41Oh, no!
0:02:41 > 0:02:45Tapping his way to save the day is Dr Johnny Wong.
0:02:45 > 0:02:48- I'll have a little examination of your neck. All right?- Yeah.- OK.
0:02:48 > 0:02:50I had a little feel down her spine
0:02:50 > 0:02:53to make sure there was no pain when I was touching with my finger.
0:02:53 > 0:02:54- That hurts.- Just a bit sore, is it?
0:02:54 > 0:02:57- Yeah.- I was making sure that her neck movement was OK,
0:02:57 > 0:02:58so she was a bit stiff.
0:02:58 > 0:03:00That really hurts.
0:03:00 > 0:03:03The worst-case scenario is, she could have injured her neck
0:03:03 > 0:03:05from the back of her head down her spine,
0:03:05 > 0:03:08which would give this tingling sensation in her neck.
0:03:08 > 0:03:11Dr Wong takes a look at some X-rays done earlier
0:03:11 > 0:03:13to check if anything is broken.
0:03:13 > 0:03:16After some careful examination, he gives Charlotte the news.
0:03:16 > 0:03:17You've got no broken bones.
0:03:17 > 0:03:20But what we've going to send for you is an MRI scan.
0:03:20 > 0:03:22So the X-ray is showing no bone damage
0:03:22 > 0:03:26but to check there's no injury to Charlotte's brain or soft tissue,
0:03:26 > 0:03:27they're doing an MRI.
0:03:27 > 0:03:30An MRI is a special kind of imaging scan.
0:03:30 > 0:03:35It uses powerful magnetic fields to produce detailed pictures
0:03:35 > 0:03:36of the inside of your body.
0:03:36 > 0:03:38MRI images of Charlotte's head
0:03:38 > 0:03:41will give the doctors vital information about her brain
0:03:41 > 0:03:42and the soft tissue around it,
0:03:42 > 0:03:44to make sure everything is working properly.
0:03:46 > 0:03:49I do feel like I'm in Holby City or something.
0:03:49 > 0:03:51No, you're not, you're on Operation Ouch!
0:03:51 > 0:03:54Yes, Charlotte, and it's time for your MRI scan.
0:03:54 > 0:03:58There's definitely no dancing for this, Charlotte.
0:03:58 > 0:04:00To get sharp images, patients have to lie very still.
0:04:02 > 0:04:05All finished, Charlotte heads back to the ward.
0:04:05 > 0:04:06Argh!
0:04:09 > 0:04:12- My hair! - What's going on with that barnet?!
0:04:12 > 0:04:15- I needed to take my baubles out. - Of course.
0:04:15 > 0:04:18Now my hair is all messy and not as nice.
0:04:18 > 0:04:19BOTH: Well, we like it!
0:04:19 > 0:04:24Find out later how Charlotte gets on with her MRI results.
0:04:27 > 0:04:29Did you know you're more likely to chew your food
0:04:29 > 0:04:32on the right side of your mouth if you're right-handed...
0:04:32 > 0:04:35And on the left side if you're left-handed?
0:04:35 > 0:04:39What side do you like to chew your food on?
0:04:42 > 0:04:44And now to our lab,
0:04:44 > 0:04:47but this time we've hidden it in a top-secret location.
0:04:47 > 0:04:51So secret that even Xand doesn't know where it is.
0:04:51 > 0:04:54It's time for our last experiment of the series.
0:04:54 > 0:04:57Just don't try anything you see here at home.
0:04:57 > 0:05:00Today we're finding out about a surprisingly strong muscle
0:05:00 > 0:05:02in your body.
0:05:02 > 0:05:04Oh! 502.
0:05:04 > 0:05:06Wow, Xand! 502. That is really impressive.
0:05:06 > 0:05:09Well, I've got to keep my muscles big and strong.
0:05:09 > 0:05:12- That is a good idea. Here, let me have a go.- No!
0:05:12 > 0:05:13Xand!
0:05:13 > 0:05:16Do you know what the strongest muscle in your body is?
0:05:16 > 0:05:17Well, we're going to show you.
0:05:17 > 0:05:19Now, what we're going to need for this, Xand,
0:05:19 > 0:05:21is someone really, really strong.
0:05:21 > 0:05:24- Have you got anyone in the cupboard?- Let me think.
0:05:24 > 0:05:26Oh, I've got the perfect person.
0:05:26 > 0:05:28Tiny!
0:05:30 > 0:05:32Sideways, Tiny, I've told you. Sideways.
0:05:32 > 0:05:35- All right, Doc.- Oh, hi, Tiny.
0:05:35 > 0:05:38Now, you might remember Tiny from series one.
0:05:38 > 0:05:39He lifted me above his head.
0:05:39 > 0:05:42Meet Tiny from Tottenham.
0:05:42 > 0:05:43Yeah. We've already met.
0:05:43 > 0:05:45Now, as you can see,
0:05:45 > 0:05:48Tiny has lots of big muscles all over his body,
0:05:48 > 0:05:52but which of his muscles do you think is the strongest?
0:05:52 > 0:05:54- The bicep. - That's a good guess, Xand.
0:05:54 > 0:05:56They're some of the biggest biceps in Britain,
0:05:56 > 0:05:58but they're not the strongest muscles in his body.
0:05:58 > 0:06:00How about the gluteus maximus?
0:06:00 > 0:06:02That is strong, but for its size,
0:06:02 > 0:06:04it's actually his jaw muscle,
0:06:04 > 0:06:07or to use its proper name, the masseter.
0:06:07 > 0:06:11Your jaw has four main muscles that help it move up and down.
0:06:11 > 0:06:14All four work together to move the jaw down,
0:06:14 > 0:06:17but it's just the mighty masseter that pulls it back up.
0:06:17 > 0:06:20It allows your jaw to exert enough power to chew through
0:06:20 > 0:06:22super-tough foods, and so for its small size,
0:06:22 > 0:06:24it's the strongest muscle in your body.
0:06:24 > 0:06:27Now, you can feel your masseter at home
0:06:27 > 0:06:29if you touch the side of your face here like this
0:06:29 > 0:06:33and slowly clench and open your teeth.
0:06:33 > 0:06:35You should feel it popping out the side of your jaw.
0:06:35 > 0:06:37Can you feel it, Xand? Tiny?
0:06:37 > 0:06:39What are you up to?!
0:06:39 > 0:06:41I'm almost there! Argh! Oh!
0:06:41 > 0:06:44Well, that was closer than it looked.
0:06:44 > 0:06:47We'll have a rematch soon, Tiny. Thanks for coming in.
0:06:47 > 0:06:49- I'll be off home, then.- All right.
0:06:49 > 0:06:51Thanks, Tiny.
0:06:51 > 0:06:54So, now we know what the strongest muscle is,
0:06:54 > 0:06:56but why don't we put it to the test
0:06:56 > 0:06:57to find out just how powerful it really is?
0:06:57 > 0:06:59And for this, I need...
0:06:59 > 0:07:02- ..the bite force meter. - XAND GASPS
0:07:02 > 0:07:04Its job is to measure the power of force applied to it
0:07:04 > 0:07:07so we can test the strength of my jaw.
0:07:07 > 0:07:09Xand, how strong do you think your jaw is?
0:07:09 > 0:07:10Strong.
0:07:10 > 0:07:13Not as strong as my hands, but still strong.
0:07:13 > 0:07:16OK, Xand, well, let's put that to the test.
0:07:16 > 0:07:17It's time for...
0:07:20 > 0:07:24Now, Xand, squeeze that as hard as you can between your hands.
0:07:24 > 0:07:26Squeeze!
0:07:26 > 0:07:28'The force is being measured in pressure
0:07:28 > 0:07:31'equivalent to kilograms applied to the sensor.'
0:07:31 > 0:07:34- 3.8. 4.2. 4.7.- Argh!
0:07:34 > 0:07:36Must be some kind of world record, I would think.
0:07:36 > 0:07:38Well, let's see.
0:07:38 > 0:07:40Now I'm going to put it in my mouth and you can read off the number.
0:07:40 > 0:07:43'Don't you try this dangerous scientific experiment.
0:07:43 > 0:07:45'We can because we're doctors.'
0:07:45 > 0:07:47Bite!
0:07:47 > 0:07:4928! 30.5!
0:07:49 > 0:07:51That is amazing!
0:07:51 > 0:07:54'Wow! Chris's jaw is six times stronger
0:07:54 > 0:07:57'than my entire upper body.'
0:07:57 > 0:08:00And in fact, Xand, my jaw is even stronger than that.
0:08:00 > 0:08:03If my teeth were made of steel and wouldn't break,
0:08:03 > 0:08:05I could squeeze up to 55kg.
0:08:05 > 0:08:08To demonstrate how strong your jaw is,
0:08:08 > 0:08:10we're going to show you what its strength could do
0:08:10 > 0:08:11to everyday objects.
0:08:13 > 0:08:14So, we're going to need these -
0:08:14 > 0:08:18a can of pop, a glass and a mobile phone.
0:08:18 > 0:08:21That looks just like my mobile phone.
0:08:21 > 0:08:24But we can't test the strength of our jaws using our teeth,
0:08:24 > 0:08:26so for this we're going to need a special machine.
0:08:26 > 0:08:30This is a hydraulic industrial crushing machine.
0:08:30 > 0:08:34We're going to use it to crush things with the force of 55kg,
0:08:34 > 0:08:36the strength of a human jaw.
0:08:38 > 0:08:42'So, let's start with Xand's... I mean a mobile phone.
0:08:42 > 0:08:46'I'm pumping the machine up to 55kg of pressure.'
0:08:46 > 0:08:48It's not looking good for that phone.
0:08:48 > 0:08:52'Two metal prongs are crushing the mobile phone.'
0:08:52 > 0:08:55There you go. A phone crushed with 55kg.
0:08:55 > 0:08:58'Now for a can of fizzy pop.'
0:08:58 > 0:09:00- We're squeezing. - The pressure is rising.
0:09:00 > 0:09:02Come on, bitey. You can do it.
0:09:02 > 0:09:03Argh!
0:09:05 > 0:09:08And that's why I never bite my fizzy drinks.
0:09:08 > 0:09:10That was amazing.
0:09:10 > 0:09:13'So, we've seen what our jaw strength can do to a mobile phone
0:09:13 > 0:09:15'and a metal can.
0:09:15 > 0:09:16'Now let's try a glass.'
0:09:16 > 0:09:19Here we go.
0:09:19 > 0:09:23'Chris gets the machine up to 55kg of pressure again.'
0:09:23 > 0:09:25Oh!
0:09:30 > 0:09:35There we go. A force of 55kg applied to a glass.
0:09:35 > 0:09:36All I can say is it's very lucky
0:09:36 > 0:09:39we were wearing the safety equipment.
0:09:39 > 0:09:41So, we've shown you that the strongest muscle in your body
0:09:41 > 0:09:46for its size is the masseter muscle which squeezes your jaw closed.
0:09:46 > 0:09:49In fact, your masseter is so strong that, under laboratory conditions,
0:09:49 > 0:09:52we've been able to show you what it would be capable of.
0:09:52 > 0:09:55But obviously this would be a stupid thing to do with your mouth
0:09:55 > 0:09:58as you'd break all your teeth.
0:09:58 > 0:09:59That was so amazing.
0:09:59 > 0:10:02I'm going to phone Mum and tell her about it.
0:10:02 > 0:10:04Now, where's my mobile phone?
0:10:06 > 0:10:08BEEPING
0:10:12 > 0:10:14Now I'm hitting the wards with my Ouch-bleeper
0:10:14 > 0:10:17because we've brought Ouch & About inside the hospital.
0:10:17 > 0:10:19Wow!
0:10:19 > 0:10:20- Dr Xand!- Ah!
0:10:20 > 0:10:23And I'm hitting the streets to answer your medical mysteries.
0:10:25 > 0:10:27In the hospital, Chris is in a right pickle.
0:10:27 > 0:10:30- BEEPING - Ah! A question!
0:10:30 > 0:10:32Someone's hungry for answers.
0:10:32 > 0:10:35It's from Ben, who's had a leg operation.
0:10:35 > 0:10:38- Hi, Ben. How are you? - Fine.- What's your question?
0:10:38 > 0:10:41Why do they put orange stuff on your leg before an operation?
0:10:41 > 0:10:43What's the diagnosis, Doc?
0:10:43 > 0:10:44Sounds like a case of...
0:10:46 > 0:10:49It's a sterilising paint,
0:10:49 > 0:10:53so it kills all the bacteria on your skin,
0:10:53 > 0:10:56and that means when they do the operation,
0:10:56 > 0:10:58no bacteria get in your body to cause infections.
0:10:58 > 0:11:00But the reason it's orange
0:11:00 > 0:11:03is because that tells the surgical team
0:11:03 > 0:11:05where has been cleaned and where hasn't.
0:11:05 > 0:11:07So, if you're doing an operation and suddenly you notice
0:11:07 > 0:11:10there's a bit of skin that isn't orange,
0:11:10 > 0:11:12you know that bit of skin is dirty and it needs to be sterilized.
0:11:12 > 0:11:14- Does that answer your question? - Yes.
0:11:14 > 0:11:17- There you go, Ben. Have a sticker. - Thank you.
0:11:17 > 0:11:19- I'll see you soon.- Bye.
0:11:20 > 0:11:22I'm Ouch & About on the street,
0:11:22 > 0:11:24and there's someone waiting to see me.
0:11:24 > 0:11:26It's Rodas, who has an allergy to nuts.
0:11:26 > 0:11:30How does an EpiPen help you when you have a nut allergy?
0:11:30 > 0:11:32Well, nut allergies are very common.
0:11:32 > 0:11:34They're one of the most common allergies there are,
0:11:34 > 0:11:35and they can be very severe.
0:11:35 > 0:11:39Basically, your immune system recognises the nut as something bad
0:11:39 > 0:11:42and you get swelling all over your body.
0:11:42 > 0:11:44Swelling is very dangerous if it's happening in your mouth
0:11:44 > 0:11:46or in your throat because it stops you breathing.
0:11:46 > 0:11:50Now, the EpiPen is full of a hormone called adrenaline.
0:11:50 > 0:11:53When you inject it, it will tighten up your blood vessels
0:11:53 > 0:11:57and decrease the swelling and allow you to breathe again.
0:11:57 > 0:11:58So, if you're carrying an EpiPen,
0:11:58 > 0:12:00you are safe, which is really important.
0:12:00 > 0:12:02Keep your EpiPen with you, all right?
0:12:05 > 0:12:06Back on the ward,
0:12:06 > 0:12:08- the bleeper is bleeping. - BEEPING
0:12:08 > 0:12:11It's a question from Jamie-Lee, who's just had a chest X-ray.
0:12:11 > 0:12:15- So, what's your question? - Why are bones white on an X-ray?
0:12:15 > 0:12:16What's the diagnosis, Doc?
0:12:16 > 0:12:18Sounds like a case of...
0:12:21 > 0:12:23Make it snappy, Chris.
0:12:23 > 0:12:25I'm going to try and answer that, but first I need to explain
0:12:25 > 0:12:27how X-rays worked in the past.
0:12:27 > 0:12:31We put a piece of film behind Jamie's chest,
0:12:31 > 0:12:33and the piece of film is white.
0:12:33 > 0:12:37And if we shine X-rays, which is like very powerful light,
0:12:37 > 0:12:38through your chest,
0:12:38 > 0:12:41the X-rays would pass through soft tissue
0:12:41 > 0:12:44like your lungs and hit the film, turning it black.
0:12:44 > 0:12:47But your bones, because your bones are made of hard stuff
0:12:47 > 0:12:51a bit like rock, the bones absorb the X-rays,
0:12:51 > 0:12:55which stops them from reaching the film, so it stays white.
0:12:55 > 0:12:59The truth is now we take X-rays using digital film,
0:12:59 > 0:13:01so we can actually colour them how we want to,
0:13:01 > 0:13:04but doctors got used to seeing them the old way in black and white,
0:13:04 > 0:13:06so that's how we've left it.
0:13:06 > 0:13:08- Does that answer your question? - Yes.- Good.
0:13:08 > 0:13:11I think you have earned yourself an Operation Ouch sticker.
0:13:11 > 0:13:13Do you want to stick that on your chest?
0:13:14 > 0:13:18- Thank you, Jamie. Excellent question.- Thank you, Dr Chris.
0:13:18 > 0:13:20- It's a pleasure. Bye.- Bye.
0:13:20 > 0:13:24Job done for today. Clinic closed.
0:13:27 > 0:13:29Chris, I wonder how our patient
0:13:29 > 0:13:31is getting on in the accident and emergency department.
0:13:31 > 0:13:35We don't have to wonder, Xand. We could just find out.
0:13:36 > 0:13:39Charlotte came to the Alder Hey Emergency Department
0:13:39 > 0:13:41with a bashed bonce.
0:13:41 > 0:13:44Charlotte was in dance class when she did a handstand.
0:13:44 > 0:13:47It went wrong! She fell and landed on her head.
0:13:48 > 0:13:50Earlier, X-rays showed there were no broken bones,
0:13:50 > 0:13:53but she had to have an MRI scan to check nothing more serious
0:13:53 > 0:13:55had happened to that knocked head.
0:13:55 > 0:13:59Dr Johnny takes a look at the results.
0:13:59 > 0:14:01I can't see any swelling or anything that would suggest
0:14:01 > 0:14:05there's any broken bones that we saw on the X-ray as well, which is good,
0:14:05 > 0:14:07so with the X-ray and the MRI scan,
0:14:07 > 0:14:09we now know that there's no nerve issues,
0:14:09 > 0:14:11there's no broken bones.
0:14:11 > 0:14:14We can clearly say that this is most likely to be a muscle injury,
0:14:14 > 0:14:16which means she can't move her neck as well.
0:14:16 > 0:14:18She will get better in probably a week or two with rest
0:14:18 > 0:14:21and some good ice on the actual neck itself.
0:14:21 > 0:14:24Good news! But what does it mean for Charlotte?
0:14:24 > 0:14:27Just need to do exercises. Ten every hour...
0:14:27 > 0:14:28That's a lot.
0:14:28 > 0:14:30..so it doesn't go stiff and sore again.
0:14:30 > 0:14:34But I can't dance or do anything for two weeks.
0:14:34 > 0:14:35What will you do?
0:14:35 > 0:14:39I'll just have to do singing instead of dancing for a while.
0:14:39 > 0:14:41Hmm. Good plan.
0:14:41 > 0:14:42BOTH: Bye!
0:14:43 > 0:14:45Still to come...
0:14:45 > 0:14:48It's our treats for the ward.
0:14:48 > 0:14:50These are going to be the best biscuits ever.
0:14:50 > 0:14:51Bogey cleaning.
0:14:51 > 0:14:54The most thorough nose-picking you could ever have, right?
0:14:54 > 0:14:56Yes, that's right.
0:14:56 > 0:15:00And strange things are AFOOT in the emergency department.
0:15:00 > 0:15:02- Dogs eating soup?- Yeah.
0:15:04 > 0:15:07In hospital, it's not just the doctors and nurses
0:15:07 > 0:15:08who help to get you fixed.
0:15:08 > 0:15:12There are lots of other heroes working behind-the-scenes.
0:15:12 > 0:15:13Ah, yes!
0:15:13 > 0:15:16What will happen when we have a go at their amazing jobs?
0:15:16 > 0:15:19- Welcome to the Dr Chris Show. - BOTH: Useless!
0:15:19 > 0:15:21This is Operation Takeover.
0:15:23 > 0:15:26Today's takeover hero is ward chef Damian.
0:15:26 > 0:15:29Every ward has its own chef and he's one of the incredible team
0:15:29 > 0:15:31cooking all the healthy, tasty meals in the hospital
0:15:31 > 0:15:34that help patients to get better.
0:15:34 > 0:15:39This idea is all about making sure we serve the kids
0:15:39 > 0:15:41food as a part of the medicine,
0:15:41 > 0:15:45and making sure the kids eat breakfast, dinner and lunch.
0:15:45 > 0:15:46Damian is spot-on.
0:15:46 > 0:15:49Eating well and enjoying your food can really help people
0:15:49 > 0:15:51to get well quicker, so on the wards,
0:15:51 > 0:15:54it's the children who choose what they eat from a healthy menu.
0:15:54 > 0:15:56Bon appetit!
0:15:56 > 0:15:58Bon appetit, Ruby.
0:15:58 > 0:16:01So what do the patients think of the ward chefs' food?
0:16:01 > 0:16:03- How has the food been?- Nice.
0:16:03 > 0:16:05- Has it been really nice?- Yeah.
0:16:05 > 0:16:08- Do you feel like you're getting well-fed in the hospital?- Sure.
0:16:08 > 0:16:10And what do you think you're going to have for dinner?
0:16:10 > 0:16:12Sausages and mash.
0:16:12 > 0:16:14- Do you think they're cooking it right now?- Yeah.
0:16:14 > 0:16:16'No sausages for you, Xand!'
0:16:16 > 0:16:18'Aw, Chris!'
0:16:18 > 0:16:20So, we found out just how important the ward chef is
0:16:20 > 0:16:22to the running of a hospital.
0:16:22 > 0:16:26But have we got what it takes to step up to the PLATE?
0:16:26 > 0:16:27Get it? Plate!
0:16:27 > 0:16:31The chefs make treats every afternoon to cheer up their patients
0:16:31 > 0:16:33and today, that job is falling to us.
0:16:33 > 0:16:37It's time for us to take over as hospital ward chefs.
0:16:37 > 0:16:39You're going to make cookies.
0:16:39 > 0:16:41Cookies? Yum!
0:16:41 > 0:16:44Yes, Xand, we've both got identical ingredients
0:16:44 > 0:16:46and decorations to make our cookies.
0:16:46 > 0:16:48We'll be judged on how good they are by Damian
0:16:48 > 0:16:50and then Jacob and Dominique.
0:16:50 > 0:16:53But before we start, we need some advice from someone
0:16:53 > 0:16:56who knows all about cookie making - Tilly Ramsay!
0:16:56 > 0:16:58Hello, Dr Chris and Dr Xand.
0:16:58 > 0:16:59Hi, Tilly.
0:16:59 > 0:17:01Number one. Don't rush.
0:17:01 > 0:17:04And number two, make sure that all your ingredients are ready
0:17:04 > 0:17:08and laid out before you start and most of all, have fun!
0:17:08 > 0:17:10Thanks, Tilly. Bye.
0:17:10 > 0:17:12Your time starts now.
0:17:13 > 0:17:14'Let's get cracking.'
0:17:14 > 0:17:17- Just need the egg yolk. - I'm just doing this quite roughly.
0:17:17 > 0:17:19I'm not overly concerned with getting everything right
0:17:19 > 0:17:21to the nearest gram.
0:17:21 > 0:17:22'Winging it, eh, Chris?
0:17:22 > 0:17:24'I'm going for a more measured approach.'
0:17:26 > 0:17:28'Ahem! Fingers, Xand.'
0:17:28 > 0:17:30Oh, shouldn't have done that!
0:17:30 > 0:17:32'I may be in trouble here.'
0:17:32 > 0:17:34I've just seen you licking your fingers,
0:17:34 > 0:17:36- which is not a good practice. - Is that illegal?- Oh...!
0:17:36 > 0:17:39'I'd better wash my hands again.'
0:17:39 > 0:17:41'I've got some nice blue food colour.'
0:17:41 > 0:17:45'I'll just have to make my own green by mixing yellow and blue.
0:17:45 > 0:17:46'Perfect!'
0:17:48 > 0:17:50'Oh, no. Xand's using his hands again.'
0:17:50 > 0:17:52'So are you, Chris.'
0:17:52 > 0:17:54'Luckily, we've with both washed them.'
0:17:54 > 0:17:57I'm going to make one big biscuit.
0:17:57 > 0:18:00'My attention to detail will win in the end.'
0:18:00 > 0:18:03These are going to be the best biscuits ever.
0:18:03 > 0:18:06There is my blue C, ready to go in the oven.
0:18:06 > 0:18:08'Tilly would be proud.
0:18:08 > 0:18:10'In they go!'
0:18:10 > 0:18:11'And out they come.'
0:18:11 > 0:18:14'And now for a few finishing touches.'
0:18:14 > 0:18:16'It'll take more than that, Chris, to beat me.'
0:18:16 > 0:18:18I ran out of icing.
0:18:18 > 0:18:20Oh, now it says Dr Chric!
0:18:20 > 0:18:24'Hah! Well, now I've definitely won with the these beautiful...
0:18:24 > 0:18:27'Argh! They're burnt!' Oh, dear.
0:18:27 > 0:18:30'Well, that's nothing a bit more decoration won't fix.
0:18:32 > 0:18:34'Et voila!
0:18:34 > 0:18:36'Time to see what chef Damian thinks.'
0:18:36 > 0:18:39Looks burnt and... Oh!
0:18:39 > 0:18:41It's even raw inside.
0:18:41 > 0:18:44'Hah! Xand's is burnt and raw. I'm going to win.'
0:18:44 > 0:18:46- Sorry, Chef.- What about mine?
0:18:46 > 0:18:48Yours is still raw inside.
0:18:48 > 0:18:50'Ha-ha! Raw as well. Touche, mate.'
0:18:50 > 0:18:53By the look of it, it's not safe to eat.
0:18:53 > 0:18:55That's bad.
0:18:55 > 0:18:57We have to judge them on appearance alone.
0:18:57 > 0:18:59'We certainly blew that one!'
0:18:59 > 0:19:03'Yes, we did, utterly failing in our task by making cookies
0:19:03 > 0:19:05'the patients can't even eat.'
0:19:05 > 0:19:06'Don't tell Tilly!'
0:19:08 > 0:19:12'So after our failure, the verdict will be based on decoration alone,
0:19:12 > 0:19:15'to be decided by the most important judges in the hospital.'
0:19:15 > 0:19:16Ta-da!
0:19:16 > 0:19:20Wow! You decorated it.
0:19:20 > 0:19:21That's amazing!
0:19:21 > 0:19:23'Impressing already!'
0:19:23 > 0:19:25- Right.- Yours is beautiful.
0:19:25 > 0:19:27- What?- You think mine is beautiful?
0:19:27 > 0:19:30Jacob, you're not a sprinkles man.
0:19:30 > 0:19:31'Time for the result.'
0:19:31 > 0:19:35Which plate of biscuits do you think looks best?
0:19:36 > 0:19:38One for me. Oh, no. And two for Dr Xand.
0:19:38 > 0:19:40Hey!
0:19:40 > 0:19:41His is burnt!
0:19:42 > 0:19:46So, we've seen that Damian and all the chefs here work really hard
0:19:46 > 0:19:50to make sure the patients get the right and most delicious food
0:19:50 > 0:19:51to make them well.
0:19:51 > 0:19:53I think we should leave it to the experts.
0:19:53 > 0:19:55There you go, Damian.
0:20:00 > 0:20:04Your body is amazing but sometimes it needs fixing.
0:20:04 > 0:20:07All over the UK, there are special teams of professionals
0:20:07 > 0:20:10trained to help tackle medical mysteries.
0:20:10 > 0:20:14And today we are in the ear, nose and throat department, or ENT.
0:20:14 > 0:20:17I know what you're thinking - that department probably deals
0:20:17 > 0:20:18with people's arms and legs.
0:20:18 > 0:20:22Well, you're wrong. They deal with ears, noses and throats.
0:20:22 > 0:20:25The ENT doctors here have to treat a wide range of
0:20:25 > 0:20:27ear, nose and throat problems.
0:20:27 > 0:20:29These doctors specialise in all three,
0:20:29 > 0:20:31because they're all connected,
0:20:31 > 0:20:34so problems in one can often affect the other.
0:20:34 > 0:20:35Now, ear, nose and throat surgery
0:20:35 > 0:20:37you can imagine might be kind of easy.
0:20:37 > 0:20:39You can get to the throat through your mouth.
0:20:39 > 0:20:40You can look up people's noses
0:20:40 > 0:20:43and you can get into theirs ears through the ear hole.
0:20:43 > 0:20:46But it's difficult doing surgery through a small hole
0:20:46 > 0:20:48and that's what I'm going to show you.
0:20:48 > 0:20:51First up in the ENT department today is Michael.
0:20:51 > 0:20:54He has a recurring infection in his ear.
0:20:54 > 0:20:58So he's EAR, I mean here, to let the doctors have a look.
0:20:58 > 0:20:59Is there any bit you're nervous about?
0:20:59 > 0:21:01- No.- Well, that's good.
0:21:01 > 0:21:04To look around Michael's ear today is surgeon Mr Ian Street.
0:21:06 > 0:21:08Mr Street uses a special microscope
0:21:08 > 0:21:11that allows him to see deep into Michael's ear canal.
0:21:11 > 0:21:13He soon finds the problem.
0:21:13 > 0:21:18What you can see is a lump of rubbery pink tissue that's being
0:21:18 > 0:21:21produced probably because there's still a bit of infection there.
0:21:21 > 0:21:24So that needs to be removed so it all clears up.
0:21:24 > 0:21:28If I can't get all of it out, it at least tells me there's still
0:21:28 > 0:21:31something grumbling on in the background there
0:21:31 > 0:21:32that needs to be dealt with again.
0:21:32 > 0:21:36With the aid of biopsy forceps, Mr Street removes a tiny piece
0:21:36 > 0:21:39of the problem tissue for further tests,
0:21:39 > 0:21:40so for now, Michael's all done.
0:21:40 > 0:21:43Soon he's awake and back to his normal self.
0:21:43 > 0:21:45How's your ears feeling?
0:21:45 > 0:21:47Good job.
0:21:47 > 0:21:48Next up is April.
0:21:48 > 0:21:51She's here to have her tonsils out.
0:21:51 > 0:21:52Can we have a look?
0:21:52 > 0:21:55'April's tonsils have to go because they've become enlarged and
0:21:55 > 0:21:57'are making it difficult for her to breathe.
0:21:57 > 0:22:01'This keeps her awake at night, and once they're out, she has a plan.'
0:22:01 > 0:22:05- I really want to keep my tonsils. - What, like in a jar?
0:22:05 > 0:22:07What are you going to do with them?
0:22:07 > 0:22:09I wanted to show the class.
0:22:09 > 0:22:12'I'm sure that would be a popular lesson, April.
0:22:12 > 0:22:13'So, she's off to surgery.
0:22:15 > 0:22:18'First, Mr Street has to snip them out using a special cutter.
0:22:18 > 0:22:21'Without her tonsils, April will be able to breathe
0:22:21 > 0:22:24'much better at night, which means she'll get a good sleep,
0:22:24 > 0:22:27'and that will make a really big difference to her life.
0:22:27 > 0:22:28'And here they are.
0:22:28 > 0:22:29'They're not only massive,
0:22:29 > 0:22:31'they're also infected, which means
0:22:31 > 0:22:32'that April won't be able
0:22:32 > 0:22:34'to take them home after all.
0:22:34 > 0:22:36'But I've got the next best thing.'
0:22:36 > 0:22:38Do you want to see a photo of what happened?
0:22:38 > 0:22:39So that is the first tonsil.
0:22:39 > 0:22:41HE LAUGHS
0:22:41 > 0:22:43What were you expecting?
0:22:43 > 0:22:46'From that reaction, I think she's happy not to keep them.'
0:22:47 > 0:22:50'Our next patient is Lola and she has nose issues.'
0:22:50 > 0:22:53What is wrong with your nose?
0:22:53 > 0:22:54Nosebleeds.
0:22:54 > 0:22:56And how many nosebleeds have you had?
0:22:56 > 0:22:58Millions and millions.
0:22:58 > 0:23:00That's a lot.
0:23:00 > 0:23:04Here to check out Lola's bleeding nose is surgeon Miss Anne Markey.
0:23:05 > 0:23:08She's looking up her nose with a special camera to find out
0:23:08 > 0:23:10where the bleeding is coming from.
0:23:10 > 0:23:13But she encounters a few obstacles along the way.
0:23:13 > 0:23:16- And that's a bit of snot there, is it?- It is a bit of snot.
0:23:16 > 0:23:18So we'll suck that snot away.
0:23:18 > 0:23:20This is, like, the most thorough nose-picking
0:23:20 > 0:23:22- you could ever have, right? - Yes, that's right.
0:23:22 > 0:23:26With the nose clean, surgeon Anne finds the source of the problem -
0:23:26 > 0:23:27a damaged blood vessel.
0:23:27 > 0:23:29And you're pretty sure that's causing the trouble?
0:23:29 > 0:23:31Yes, I haven't seen anything else that's made me think
0:23:31 > 0:23:34there's bleeding coming from anywhere else.
0:23:34 > 0:23:36Now the damaged blood vessel can be sealed or cauterised
0:23:36 > 0:23:38to stop it bleeding.
0:23:38 > 0:23:41Presumably she's just not allowed to pick her nose for a while.
0:23:41 > 0:23:44Well, ideally, she won't ever pick her nose again, but I think...
0:23:44 > 0:23:47- What, I mean...- ..that's optimistic for all of us, I think.
0:23:47 > 0:23:50Nosebleeds can be serious, but in only about ten minutes Anne
0:23:50 > 0:23:55has taken Lola from having a big risk of nosebleeds to really
0:23:55 > 0:23:56not having any problem at all.
0:23:56 > 0:23:59And that should make little Lola very happy indeed.
0:23:59 > 0:24:02So now you can see that it wasn't just a random decision
0:24:02 > 0:24:04to call it the Ear, Nose & Throat Department,
0:24:04 > 0:24:06that's exactly what they do here!
0:24:08 > 0:24:09And they're really good at it.
0:24:12 > 0:24:16Our next patient's day has taken an unexpected turn.
0:24:16 > 0:24:19- Like that?- No, Xand.
0:24:19 > 0:24:21Luckily, they've ended up in the right place.
0:24:23 > 0:24:28In accident and emergency with his mum and dad is ten-year-old Francis.
0:24:28 > 0:24:29What have you done, fella?
0:24:29 > 0:24:34I've stood on something sharp and it stabbed deep in.
0:24:34 > 0:24:37That sounds nasty. Let's find out more.
0:24:37 > 0:24:39Francis was at home playing
0:24:39 > 0:24:42- with his brother and their Labrador Roxy.- ROXY:- Ruff!
0:24:42 > 0:24:45Don't worry, I speak dog. Ruff-ruff!
0:24:45 > 0:24:46Ruff-ruff! Ruff!
0:24:46 > 0:24:50Right, OK, anyway, his brother had a great idea to go and play footy
0:24:50 > 0:24:53outside so Francis made a quick dash for his kit.
0:24:54 > 0:24:55Ruff-ruff-ruff!
0:24:55 > 0:24:58Hold on, Chris, Roxy's not sure about this.
0:24:58 > 0:25:00- She says there's a...- Ugh!
0:25:00 > 0:25:02Don't be silly, Xand, football's brilliant.
0:25:02 > 0:25:04No, Roxy's not happy.
0:25:04 > 0:25:07- She says...- Ooh!- ..stop!
0:25:07 > 0:25:11- What's on? What? - There's ten kids wearing flares.
0:25:11 > 0:25:13- What?- Ruff-ruff! - Oh, no, sorry, wait.
0:25:13 > 0:25:15There's a tin lid on the stairs.
0:25:15 > 0:25:18Too late, he's stood on it and cut his foot.
0:25:18 > 0:25:20Ouch!
0:25:20 > 0:25:22Here to find out why there was a can on the stairs,
0:25:22 > 0:25:26amongst other things, is nurse practitioner Julia Maxted.
0:25:26 > 0:25:28Can you tell me what happened?
0:25:28 > 0:25:33I stood on a lid, a vegetable soup can.
0:25:33 > 0:25:35Ooh, I love vegetable soup.
0:25:35 > 0:25:37And so it was the actual lid bit that you stood on...
0:25:37 > 0:25:38- Yes.- ..and it cut your foot.
0:25:38 > 0:25:42- Where did this can come from? - Who left it there?
0:25:42 > 0:25:43- DAD: The dog.- The dog?!
0:25:43 > 0:25:45The dog's eating soup?
0:25:45 > 0:25:49So Roxy's a soup-eating dog? Now I've heard it all.
0:25:49 > 0:25:51Nurse Julia takes off Francis' bandage...
0:25:51 > 0:25:53Gross Alert.
0:25:53 > 0:25:55Look away now, if you want.
0:25:55 > 0:25:58..and gives the wound a clean so she can see what's going on.
0:25:58 > 0:26:01Nurse Julia checks the feeling and movement to make sure
0:26:01 > 0:26:03he hasn't done any damage deeper in his foot.
0:26:03 > 0:26:05It's actually really quite superficial.
0:26:05 > 0:26:07I'll close it with some Steristrips
0:26:07 > 0:26:11just to help keep it clean and stop it from oozing.
0:26:11 > 0:26:15- Sounds like he's had a lucky escape. - But what about the dog?
0:26:15 > 0:26:18I hope he's going to be gentle with the vegetable soup now.
0:26:18 > 0:26:21Yeah, maybe just soup from a packet from now on.
0:26:21 > 0:26:24With the wound all closed up it's time for Francis to head home.
0:26:24 > 0:26:26And what's today's lesson been?
0:26:26 > 0:26:32To make sure that I'm looking where I'm going cos at the time
0:26:32 > 0:26:36I weren't paying attention whatsoever what I was stepping on.
0:26:36 > 0:26:37Good plan. Bye!
