0:00:23 > 0:00:25He's Dr Chris.
0:00:25 > 0:00:26He's Dr Xand.
0:00:26 > 0:00:28And, yes, we're identical twins.
0:00:28 > 0:00:34Do you know, your body does heaps of amazing things every single day?
0:00:34 > 0:00:35That is incredible.
0:00:35 > 0:00:37And we're going to show you how.
0:00:37 > 0:00:39Ah! You've cut him in half.
0:00:39 > 0:00:42We've got incredible experiments...
0:00:42 > 0:00:43Whoa!
0:00:43 > 0:00:45..and real life medical emergencies.
0:00:45 > 0:00:47The doctor's going to make it all better.
0:00:47 > 0:00:49Ouch.
0:00:49 > 0:00:51We'll be turning our bodies inside out...
0:00:51 > 0:00:53Oh, yuck!
0:00:53 > 0:00:55..to show you what you're made of.
0:00:55 > 0:00:56FARTING
0:00:56 > 0:00:59- You should see a doctor. - Better go find one.
0:01:00 > 0:01:01HE CLEARS HIS THROAT
0:01:01 > 0:01:03Dr Xand. Hm?
0:01:07 > 0:01:09- Coming up on... BOTH:- Operation Ouch!
0:01:12 > 0:01:16Xand uses a special ingredient to make his own variety of cheese.
0:01:16 > 0:01:19Eugh! That is horrendous.
0:01:19 > 0:01:23We get our heads around your medical mysteries.
0:01:23 > 0:01:26Why do I bend so much and my friends don't?
0:01:26 > 0:01:30And I show you the incredible technology inside this man's head.
0:01:30 > 0:01:32That is just amazing, isn't it?
0:01:33 > 0:01:35But first...
0:01:35 > 0:01:38Let's see who's turned up in accident and emergency.
0:01:38 > 0:01:40And this is not for the squeamish.
0:01:40 > 0:01:41Ah!
0:01:41 > 0:01:45Aaarggh!
0:01:49 > 0:01:51This way to Alder Hey Hospital, in Liverpool,
0:01:51 > 0:01:54where 14-year-old Alex has hurt his arm.
0:01:54 > 0:01:57Ooh, it's bendy. What happened?
0:01:57 > 0:01:59Playing football, saved a goal and broke my arm.
0:01:59 > 0:02:01You broke your arm saving a goal?!
0:02:01 > 0:02:04That must have been some kick. Let's see what happened.
0:02:06 > 0:02:08Alex was playing in a five-a-side
0:02:08 > 0:02:10football match at school.
0:02:10 > 0:02:13Was he magic with the ball like Messi?
0:02:13 > 0:02:16No, Xand, he was saving the ball, like...
0:02:16 > 0:02:17Like?
0:02:17 > 0:02:20Like a brilliant goalkeeper, making lots of great saves,
0:02:20 > 0:02:22leaping left and right.
0:02:22 > 0:02:25Then one boy, the strongest kicker on the pitch, took a shot.
0:02:25 > 0:02:28Whoa! That ball's moving like a rocket.
0:02:28 > 0:02:31On a one-way mission to the back of the net.
0:02:31 > 0:02:32But Alex had other plans.
0:02:32 > 0:02:34He threw his hands out for a save,
0:02:34 > 0:02:36the ball crashed right into his arm and bent it.
0:02:36 > 0:02:38BOTH: Ouch.
0:02:38 > 0:02:41Alex is off to X-ray to check on the damage.
0:02:41 > 0:02:43Brilliant, you're doing really well.
0:02:43 > 0:02:45OK, all done.
0:02:45 > 0:02:48To deliver the results is bone specialist Dr Veenesh Selvaratnam.
0:02:49 > 0:02:53So what he has got, he's a got a fracture of both the bones.
0:02:53 > 0:02:55He certainly has.
0:02:55 > 0:02:56What we'll try and do,
0:02:56 > 0:02:59see whether we can give him something to sedate him,
0:02:59 > 0:03:02give it a pull and put a plaster, OK?
0:03:02 > 0:03:06If this is successful, Alex won't need an operation.
0:03:06 > 0:03:10When a bone breaks, sometimes it moves out of its normal position.
0:03:10 > 0:03:13With a double break like Alex's, your arm can look bendy
0:03:13 > 0:03:15because the bones have overlapped.
0:03:15 > 0:03:17When this happens, they need to be pulled apart
0:03:17 > 0:03:21and then slotted back together like a jigsaw so they heal nicely.
0:03:23 > 0:03:26That's the plan for Alex. Let's see how he gets on later.
0:03:32 > 0:03:33And now to our lab...
0:03:33 > 0:03:34Ouch!
0:03:34 > 0:03:37..for some amazing body experiments.
0:03:37 > 0:03:40Just don't try anything you see here at home.
0:03:40 > 0:03:43Today it's your friends and mine - body bacteria.
0:03:44 > 0:03:46Xand, you stink!
0:03:46 > 0:03:48I know. I haven't washed in three days.
0:03:48 > 0:03:51What? Why would you do that?
0:03:51 > 0:03:54Well, Chris, while you have been washing as normal, I haven't
0:03:54 > 0:03:59and that's so I could collect samples of the bacteria on my body.
0:03:59 > 0:04:00And here they are.
0:04:02 > 0:04:05All over your body you have lots of lovely bacteria
0:04:05 > 0:04:07working hard to keep you healthy.
0:04:07 > 0:04:09That's right. Not all bacteria are bad.
0:04:09 > 0:04:11In fact, lots of them are good.
0:04:11 > 0:04:15They do things like eat dead skin cells and destroy bad bacteria,
0:04:15 > 0:04:17which could otherwise cause you infections.
0:04:17 > 0:04:20But that's not a reason for never washing, is it, Xand?
0:04:20 > 0:04:22Well, that's true, but I've only not washed for three days
0:04:22 > 0:04:25and you're about to find out why.
0:04:25 > 0:04:28Allow me to introduce my body bacteria.
0:04:28 > 0:04:29Meet the family.
0:04:29 > 0:04:32There's John and he's off to see Anita,
0:04:32 > 0:04:33who's over there.
0:04:33 > 0:04:35Hello, Anita. How do you even know their names?
0:04:35 > 0:04:37We live together.
0:04:37 > 0:04:38They actually feed off my sweat
0:04:38 > 0:04:39and as they gobble away,
0:04:39 > 0:04:42they release a nasty stink,
0:04:42 > 0:04:44so when I don't wash, more sweat
0:04:44 > 0:04:46equals more nasty smells.
0:04:46 > 0:04:48Now, speaking of smells...
0:04:48 > 0:04:49Smell this cheese.
0:04:51 > 0:04:53Cheesy. What are you doing now?
0:04:53 > 0:04:54Smell my foot.
0:04:55 > 0:04:57Eugh! That's even more cheesy.
0:04:57 > 0:04:58Exactly.
0:04:58 > 0:05:02Now, that's because some of the bacteria that live on your body
0:05:02 > 0:05:06are exactly the same kind of bacteria that are used to make cheese.
0:05:08 > 0:05:11Bacteria are a key part of producing cheese
0:05:11 > 0:05:15and actually give each variety of cheese its unique smell and flavour.
0:05:15 > 0:05:18Now, in these three jars we have bacteria on swabs
0:05:18 > 0:05:22that Xand's been collecting from different parts of his body.
0:05:22 > 0:05:25Now we're going to make three varieties of cheese.
0:05:25 > 0:05:28One from my toe bacteria, one from my armpit bacteria
0:05:28 > 0:05:31and one from my belly button bacteria.
0:05:31 > 0:05:35And what we want to know is, will the different kinds of cheese
0:05:35 > 0:05:37smell like the body part they came from?
0:05:37 > 0:05:40Actually, I'm quite peckish. I'm looking forward to this.
0:05:40 > 0:05:42What? Xand, you can't eat this cheese.
0:05:42 > 0:05:45We have no idea what sort of foul bacteria might be lurking
0:05:45 > 0:05:47in the crevices of your body.
0:05:47 > 0:05:49Some of them could be dangerous.
0:05:49 > 0:05:52Ugh! I suppose you're right.
0:05:52 > 0:05:53Now, don't worry,
0:05:53 > 0:05:57the bacteria used in the cheese you eat is perfectly safe.
0:05:57 > 0:05:59Let's get cheese making!
0:05:59 > 0:06:02And the most important ingredient for my body cheese
0:06:02 > 0:06:04is my unique body bacteria.
0:06:04 > 0:06:07Get in there and start making cheese.
0:06:08 > 0:06:12Because the mix of bacteria on my body is unique to me,
0:06:12 > 0:06:15my cheese should smell like my body and nobody else's.
0:06:17 > 0:06:21Like all cheese, Xand's body cheese takes a while to turn solid.
0:06:21 > 0:06:23Ta-da!
0:06:23 > 0:06:25Well, here we have it,
0:06:25 > 0:06:29Operation Ouch! Xand Brand Cheese.
0:06:29 > 0:06:32Let's see if Chris can guess which part of my body
0:06:32 > 0:06:33each cheese came from.
0:06:33 > 0:06:36Now, I'm going to let you in on which one's which, though.
0:06:36 > 0:06:37Are you ready?
0:06:37 > 0:06:40Chris can't see what's on the screen right now.
0:06:40 > 0:06:43Number one, belly button cheese.
0:06:43 > 0:06:45Number two is armpit cheese.
0:06:45 > 0:06:47And number three is toe cheese.
0:06:47 > 0:06:52OK, Chris, let your nose be your guide.
0:06:52 > 0:06:53Right, number one.
0:06:54 > 0:06:55Eugh!
0:06:56 > 0:06:59That's the nastiest cheese I have ever smelled.
0:06:59 > 0:07:01OK, let's have a go at number two.
0:07:01 > 0:07:02CHRIS SNIFFS
0:07:02 > 0:07:04It's less strong, that.
0:07:04 > 0:07:06I think that might be belly button.
0:07:06 > 0:07:07Do you want a little go?
0:07:07 > 0:07:09- CHRIS SNIFFS - Eugh!
0:07:11 > 0:07:12OK, number three.
0:07:12 > 0:07:14Eugh!
0:07:14 > 0:07:15That is horrendous!
0:07:15 > 0:07:17That was definitely the strongest,
0:07:17 > 0:07:19which makes me think three is foot,
0:07:19 > 0:07:22two is belly button and one is armpit.
0:07:22 > 0:07:25Well, Chris, it's the moment of truth.
0:07:25 > 0:07:29You said number one was armpit.
0:07:29 > 0:07:30- Are you feeling confident?- Yes.
0:07:30 > 0:07:33Oh, number one, Chris...
0:07:33 > 0:07:35was belly button cheese.
0:07:35 > 0:07:38How can your belly button smell that bad and so strong?
0:07:38 > 0:07:41You said number two was belly button.
0:07:41 > 0:07:44Oh! It's armpit.
0:07:44 > 0:07:47Finally, you said number three was toe, and...
0:07:47 > 0:07:51For the most powerful, smelliest, footiest cheese,
0:07:51 > 0:07:53he did get it exactly right.
0:07:53 > 0:07:57And this was the one you were most confident about -
0:07:57 > 0:07:58the toe cheese.
0:07:59 > 0:08:04It was overwhelmingly smelly and smelt exactly like your toes.
0:08:04 > 0:08:08Well, Chris did get the cheesiest one right - my toe cheese.
0:08:08 > 0:08:11So, we all have amazing bacteria on our bodies
0:08:11 > 0:08:14and some of it is similar to the bacteria used to make cheese.
0:08:14 > 0:08:17But this isn't how real cheese is made.
0:08:17 > 0:08:21Unlike Xand's Brand, the cheese you buy to eat is perfectly safe.
0:08:21 > 0:08:23So, we really can't eat my cheese, then?
0:08:23 > 0:08:24Not even a tiny bit?
0:08:24 > 0:08:26No, Xand, I've told you - no eating.
0:08:26 > 0:08:28Anyway, it's time to go, come on.
0:08:30 > 0:08:31Xand!
0:08:35 > 0:08:37Shh! Don't tell Chris.
0:08:37 > 0:08:40I mean, how dangerous can cheese really be?
0:08:40 > 0:08:42This is going to be delicious.
0:08:42 > 0:08:44What?! It's all gone!
0:08:44 > 0:08:45Monty!
0:08:45 > 0:08:47SQUEAKY GIGGLING
0:08:47 > 0:08:51Now we're getting Ouch & About with our mobile clinic.
0:08:53 > 0:08:57Today we're at a theme park to help you solve your medical mysteries.
0:08:57 > 0:08:59If you're anxious about an ailment...
0:08:59 > 0:09:00Or curious about a condition...
0:09:00 > 0:09:03..then the Ouch-Mobile is the place for you.
0:09:03 > 0:09:05That's brilliant, look at that.
0:09:05 > 0:09:08Xand is preparing the clinic ready for his patients.
0:09:08 > 0:09:12And later, he'll be out in the park to answer your burning questions.
0:09:12 > 0:09:15At the clinic, he's open for business.
0:09:15 > 0:09:17Can I have the next patient?
0:09:17 > 0:09:18First in is eight-year-old Zoe
0:09:18 > 0:09:21with a question about some bendy bits on her body.
0:09:23 > 0:09:26So, Zoe, why have you come to the Ouch-Mobile?
0:09:26 > 0:09:28Because I've got a really bendy body.
0:09:28 > 0:09:29What's the diagnosis, doc?
0:09:29 > 0:09:31This sounds like a case of...
0:09:33 > 0:09:35That's what I'd say.
0:09:35 > 0:09:37Can I have a look at what you can do?
0:09:37 > 0:09:39I can bend my elbow all the way around.
0:09:39 > 0:09:41Oh. Well, I think I can do that.
0:09:43 > 0:09:44Oh, wait a minute.
0:09:44 > 0:09:47- You're doing a thumbs up while I'm doing a thumbs down.- Yeah.
0:09:47 > 0:09:49Wow. That's amazing. What else can you do?
0:09:49 > 0:09:51Touch my elbows behind my back.
0:09:53 > 0:09:54OK, I can at least do this one.
0:09:56 > 0:09:59- Are they touching?- No. - Are they close?- No.- Aw.
0:09:59 > 0:10:02Why do I bend so much and my friends don't?
0:10:02 > 0:10:05What you've got is a thing called hyper mobility.
0:10:05 > 0:10:08Most of the time your joints are held in place by things
0:10:08 > 0:10:11called ligaments and they're like very tough elastic bands
0:10:11 > 0:10:13that keep the bones together.
0:10:13 > 0:10:16Now, those ligaments are mostly made of something called collagen,
0:10:16 > 0:10:17and in most people
0:10:17 > 0:10:18the collagen is quite tough
0:10:18 > 0:10:21but for you, it's a bit more flexible, a bit stretchier,
0:10:21 > 0:10:23which means your joints can move a little bit more.
0:10:23 > 0:10:25It doesn't do you any harm,
0:10:25 > 0:10:28but it does mean you're a bit more bendy than other people.
0:10:28 > 0:10:30It's a busy day for Xand.
0:10:31 > 0:10:34He's leaving the clinic to go Ouch & About in the park
0:10:34 > 0:10:36to solve your medical mysteries.
0:10:36 > 0:10:38Why do you get heat rash when it's hot?
0:10:38 > 0:10:39Normally, what you try to do
0:10:39 > 0:10:42when you're hot is send all the blood to the surface of your skin
0:10:42 > 0:10:45and then as your sweat evaporates, it cools the blood down. You get colder.
0:10:45 > 0:10:47But when you get a heat rash,
0:10:47 > 0:10:50all the blood going to your skin irritates it and it gets itchy
0:10:50 > 0:10:54and it gets red, so what you need to do is cool down some other way,
0:10:54 > 0:10:57like cold water or a cold T-shirt or just get in the shade.
0:10:57 > 0:10:59Why do you shiver after you've been on a wet ride?
0:10:59 > 0:11:02Shivering is your body's attempt to warm up.
0:11:02 > 0:11:06You get all your muscles working. It's very hard work, shivering.
0:11:06 > 0:11:08It's a bit like going for a run without having to go for the run.
0:11:08 > 0:11:12You get your muscles shaking, that generates heat and you feel warmer.
0:11:12 > 0:11:14The best thing to do is dry off, though.
0:11:14 > 0:11:18Back at the Ouch-Mobile, there's a new case in the waiting room.
0:11:18 > 0:11:20Can I have the next patient?
0:11:20 > 0:11:23It's nine-year-old Beth with a nuisance on her knee.
0:11:25 > 0:11:28So, Beth, what's brought you to the Ouch-Mobile today?
0:11:28 > 0:11:30I've got two things going on on my knee.
0:11:30 > 0:11:32What's the diagnosis, doc?
0:11:32 > 0:11:33Sounds like a case of...
0:11:36 > 0:11:39Two for the price of one.
0:11:39 > 0:11:40Oh, wow, that's interesting.
0:11:40 > 0:11:43What we can see there is you've clearly got a scab
0:11:43 > 0:11:45and around it, you can see the skin's raised,
0:11:45 > 0:11:46it's quite hard,
0:11:46 > 0:11:48it's dried out and it's rough.
0:11:48 > 0:11:51That's a condition called psoriasis.
0:11:51 > 0:11:54What's happening in psoriasis is the cells in your skin
0:11:54 > 0:11:57that make the tough outer layer of your skin,
0:11:57 > 0:11:59it's called keratin, they overgrow,
0:11:59 > 0:12:00they're more active,
0:12:00 > 0:12:02they're making more keratin.
0:12:02 > 0:12:05That's what's making that bit of skin rough and thick and hard.
0:12:05 > 0:12:07Why won't my psoriasis heal?
0:12:07 > 0:12:10It's been like that since I was around four or five.
0:12:10 > 0:12:14Sometimes it goes away over time and sometimes it doesn't.
0:12:14 > 0:12:17I'd say, for the moment, the best you can do is leave it alone.
0:12:17 > 0:12:19If it doesn't go away or it gets worse,
0:12:19 > 0:12:20it's worth going to see your doctor.
0:12:20 > 0:12:23There are drugs they can use to treat it,
0:12:23 > 0:12:25but hopefully it'll die down of its own accord.
0:12:25 > 0:12:27Job done for today. Clinic closed.
0:12:28 > 0:12:30Still to come...
0:12:30 > 0:12:33Xand is on the road with the UK's emergency services...
0:12:33 > 0:12:36We're going to see someone who's got a very severe cut on the head.
0:12:37 > 0:12:40..we show you how to cope with a medical mishap...
0:12:40 > 0:12:42Ow! Ouch! My leg!
0:12:42 > 0:12:44I think it's broken!
0:12:44 > 0:12:48..and I get an exclusive look at some life-changing technology.
0:12:48 > 0:12:50That is just amazing, isn't it?
0:12:52 > 0:12:55Earlier we met Alex with his bent arm.
0:12:55 > 0:12:57Let's head back to accident and emergency
0:12:57 > 0:12:59to see how they straightened him out.
0:13:02 > 0:13:05Back in Liverpool, Alex is in with a broken arm.
0:13:05 > 0:13:07Really, it really does hurt.
0:13:07 > 0:13:09And it's bent like a banana.
0:13:09 > 0:13:11Alex was playing football at school.
0:13:11 > 0:13:15He was in goal and making lots of great saves, leaping left and right.
0:13:15 > 0:13:19Then one boy, the strongest kicker on the pitch, took a shot.
0:13:21 > 0:13:23Alex threw his hands out for a save
0:13:23 > 0:13:26and the ball crashed right into his arm and injured it.
0:13:26 > 0:13:27Ouch!
0:13:28 > 0:13:32So Alex is having a procedure to fix that bendy arm.
0:13:32 > 0:13:34If it's successful, he won't need an operation.
0:13:35 > 0:13:38First he's given an anaesthetic to make him sleepy
0:13:38 > 0:13:40so he won't feel a thing.
0:13:40 > 0:13:43And the team begin the process of straightening Alex's arm.
0:13:43 > 0:13:46Dr Veenesh needs to pull the bones apart,
0:13:46 > 0:13:51then let them join back up again in a perfect fit, just like a jigsaw.
0:13:51 > 0:13:53First, there's a lot of pulling.
0:13:53 > 0:13:55We just give a bit of traction.
0:13:55 > 0:13:57Someone pulls the arm the other side
0:13:57 > 0:13:59and I pull it away from the fracture
0:13:59 > 0:14:01to try and align it together to make it straight.
0:14:01 > 0:14:04Once they're happy the bones are correctly fitted,
0:14:04 > 0:14:08the team need to make sure that they stay that way until they heal,
0:14:08 > 0:14:10so Dr Veenesh fits a plaster cast.
0:14:10 > 0:14:12Move your fingers. Beautiful.
0:14:14 > 0:14:16After that's done,
0:14:16 > 0:14:19Alex is sent to X-ray again to check up on those broken bones.
0:14:21 > 0:14:24New pictures are taken of Alex's hopefully fixed arm.
0:14:25 > 0:14:28Hey! It doesn't look like a banana any more.
0:14:28 > 0:14:31But is it straight enough to avoid an operation?
0:14:31 > 0:14:34Just spoken to orthopaedics. They're happy with the X-ray.
0:14:34 > 0:14:36You can go home and they'll review you in fracture clinic
0:14:36 > 0:14:37in a few days.
0:14:37 > 0:14:39Great news!
0:14:39 > 0:14:42I don't need an operation now. I'm really happy about it.
0:14:42 > 0:14:46And on his check up it's still straight. A brilliant result.
0:14:46 > 0:14:48- BOTH:- Bye, Alex.
0:14:51 > 0:14:55All over the UK there are emergency teams standing by ready to help you.
0:14:55 > 0:14:58And they need to get to the scene of an accident fast.
0:15:00 > 0:15:03We're on call with the UK emergency services,
0:15:03 > 0:15:07showing you what it's really like on the front line saving lives.
0:15:12 > 0:15:14This is a rapid response vehicle.
0:15:14 > 0:15:19It's on standby 24/7 to respond to whatever emergency calls come in.
0:15:19 > 0:15:22Today I'm going along for the ride and you're coming with me.
0:15:24 > 0:15:26On call with me is paramedic Jan Vann.
0:15:28 > 0:15:31She can do 20 emergency call-outs in a day.
0:15:32 > 0:15:34And a new case is just in.
0:15:34 > 0:15:38We're going to see someone who's got a very severe cut on the head
0:15:38 > 0:15:40and is refusing to go to hospital.
0:15:40 > 0:15:42The reason we don't have the sirens on or the blue lights on
0:15:42 > 0:15:45is because they're with an ambulance crew at the moment.
0:15:45 > 0:15:48But Jan is the only person on call at the moment
0:15:48 > 0:15:49who can glue his head together,
0:15:49 > 0:15:51which is what we're going to try and do.
0:15:51 > 0:15:54At the house, the man, Paul, is in good spirits
0:15:54 > 0:15:56despite the nasty gash to his head.
0:15:56 > 0:15:59Thanks for coming out at such short notice.
0:15:59 > 0:16:00It's all right.
0:16:00 > 0:16:03As a paramedic with ten years' experience,
0:16:03 > 0:16:06Jan has the expert training needed to use special glue
0:16:06 > 0:16:08to join Paul's wound together.
0:16:08 > 0:16:11Right, this glue might sting a little bit, OK?
0:16:11 > 0:16:13How's that feel, Paul?
0:16:13 > 0:16:15- Can't feel anything.- Not stinging?
0:16:15 > 0:16:16- No.- Good.
0:16:17 > 0:16:21The superglue that Jan's using now will hold that wound closed.
0:16:21 > 0:16:24It doesn't need stitches and it stops the bleeding.
0:16:24 > 0:16:27It'll stop infection getting in and it gives a nice result.
0:16:27 > 0:16:28It gives a tidy scar.
0:16:28 > 0:16:31All large head wounds should be seen at a hospital,
0:16:31 > 0:16:34but Paul has refused to go so Jan gives him some advice.
0:16:34 > 0:16:37Any headaches that aren't controlled with painkillers
0:16:37 > 0:16:39will need to be assessed at the hospital.
0:16:39 > 0:16:41Vomiting more than twice will need to be assessed at the hospital.
0:16:41 > 0:16:43- We have got a slight issue.- What?
0:16:43 > 0:16:45My fingers are stuck to your head.
0:16:45 > 0:16:46Not really.
0:16:47 > 0:16:51Jan has done all she can for Paul and it's up to him now
0:16:51 > 0:16:53to be vigilant and spot any side effects.
0:16:53 > 0:16:55- See you then. - Take care, see you later. Bye.
0:16:55 > 0:16:56- Bye.- See you.
0:16:56 > 0:16:59Even though Paul didn't want to go to hospital,
0:16:59 > 0:17:01we were still able to glue his head together.
0:17:01 > 0:17:04That stopped the bleeding, it reduces pain,
0:17:04 > 0:17:07it reduces the chances of infection and we've given him
0:17:07 > 0:17:10some really clear advice about what to do if he gets worse
0:17:10 > 0:17:13and he does need to go to hospital, and that's all thanks to Jan.
0:17:14 > 0:17:17With hundreds of rapid response crews in the UK,
0:17:17 > 0:17:22if you have an accident, an emergency service like this won't be far away.
0:17:29 > 0:17:32So be sure to look after those legs of yours.
0:17:34 > 0:17:38The school playground, a great place to play, blow off steam
0:17:38 > 0:17:40and relax with your friends.
0:17:40 > 0:17:45But with so much going on, it can also be a place of danger.
0:17:47 > 0:17:50You could fall off the climbing frame.
0:17:50 > 0:17:53Or bash your head playing hide and seek.
0:17:53 > 0:17:56With so many different ways to hurt yourself,
0:17:56 > 0:17:58- you can never be too careful. - Absolutely, Chris.
0:17:58 > 0:18:00Oh! Ow!
0:18:00 > 0:18:02Ouch, my leg! I think it's broken!
0:18:02 > 0:18:05Oh, dear. Looks like an injury alert.
0:18:05 > 0:18:06Ouch.
0:18:13 > 0:18:17A - ask your mum if she'll carry you around the house for six months.
0:18:19 > 0:18:23B - support the injured leg to keep it still and call 999.
0:18:23 > 0:18:26C - chop the leg off, it's no use now it's broken.
0:18:28 > 0:18:31I recommend B because doctors can heal it
0:18:31 > 0:18:36instead of C, chopping your leg off and you don't have no leg.
0:18:36 > 0:18:38Aya is right.
0:18:38 > 0:18:41The correct answer is B. Now, check this out.
0:18:42 > 0:18:44- Aargh!- OK, so the first thing we're going to do
0:18:44 > 0:18:46is support Xand's broken leg.
0:18:46 > 0:18:48You don't need anything fancy for this.
0:18:48 > 0:18:50We can just use whatever is around.
0:18:50 > 0:18:53'Remember, we're showing you what to do in an emergency,
0:18:53 > 0:18:55'but it's always best to find an adult.'
0:18:55 > 0:18:57So, Xand, how does your leg still feel?
0:18:57 > 0:18:59Aargh!
0:18:59 > 0:19:01OK, I think we do need to call 999.
0:19:01 > 0:19:02999. Ring, ring.
0:19:02 > 0:19:06- Which service do you require? - I want an ambulance, please.
0:19:06 > 0:19:07And what's your location?
0:19:07 > 0:19:11I'm at the Operation Ouch! School in Children's BCC.
0:19:11 > 0:19:13Dr Xand has broken his leg.
0:19:13 > 0:19:16Stay with the patient and we'll send an ambulance.
0:19:16 > 0:19:18Great, thank you very much. Bye.
0:19:18 > 0:19:21Now we'll sit with Dr Xand, provided he doesn't shout too loudly,
0:19:21 > 0:19:24and make sure he's OK until the ambulance gets here.
0:19:24 > 0:19:26'Time for this lot to have a go.'
0:19:26 > 0:19:29Argh! Ah, my leg! Oh!
0:19:29 > 0:19:31- Argh! Ah!- Come on, let's go.
0:19:33 > 0:19:34Let me help you.
0:19:34 > 0:19:36That's really good. It looks nice.
0:19:36 > 0:19:38You don't want to move that leg at all.
0:19:38 > 0:19:39You just want to support it.
0:19:39 > 0:19:42- What are you going to do?- Call 999.
0:19:42 > 0:19:43Go for it.
0:19:43 > 0:19:45- What service do you require? - Ambulance, please.
0:19:45 > 0:19:48My friend Robert's broken his leg and he needs help.
0:19:48 > 0:19:51Staying calm, knowing everything's going to be OK
0:19:51 > 0:19:53and that they will send an ambulance is really important.
0:19:53 > 0:19:57So, if you think you might have broken your leg,
0:19:57 > 0:20:00support it to stop it moving using anything that's handy
0:20:00 > 0:20:03and tell an adult or call 999.
0:20:03 > 0:20:06Luckily, mine was only a sprain.
0:20:06 > 0:20:08Good. We can keep on playing, then.
0:20:11 > 0:20:13Come on, Xand. Make an effort.
0:20:19 > 0:20:21Ah, Chris, there you are.
0:20:21 > 0:20:24I wanted to show you some really cool medical gadgets
0:20:24 > 0:20:27- I've invented to help fix people's bodies.- Mm-hm?
0:20:27 > 0:20:31How brilliant is this for listening to people's hearts or chests?
0:20:31 > 0:20:33Xand, it's a Victorian ear trumpet.
0:20:33 > 0:20:37We already have a perfectly good stethoscope for that.
0:20:37 > 0:20:40Well, you're really going to love my next invention.
0:20:42 > 0:20:48I invented this to help me look at really...
0:20:48 > 0:20:49tall patients.
0:20:49 > 0:20:51Xand, it's a step ladder.
0:20:53 > 0:20:55They're ridiculous.
0:20:55 > 0:20:59We have much smaller and cooler gadgets for fixing people's bodies.
0:20:59 > 0:21:01It's time for Investigation Ouch!
0:21:02 > 0:21:05Can you guess what this is?
0:21:05 > 0:21:08- Is it the inside of a monster's stomach?- No, Xand.
0:21:08 > 0:21:11OK, is it a peeled grape?
0:21:11 > 0:21:15No, Xand, it's the inside of an eye, and your eyes are amazing.
0:21:15 > 0:21:19They process billions of pieces of information every second.
0:21:19 > 0:21:22Even now, your eyes are processing loads of different things
0:21:22 > 0:21:24all at the same time.
0:21:24 > 0:21:26Me on the TV, the room you're in, and your dad,
0:21:26 > 0:21:29sitting on the sofa, picking his nose.
0:21:29 > 0:21:30Eugh.
0:21:30 > 0:21:33So, how do your eyes do this?
0:21:33 > 0:21:35Well, light bounces off whatever you're looking at
0:21:35 > 0:21:37and travels into your eye.
0:21:37 > 0:21:40Because your lens is curved and light is straight,
0:21:40 > 0:21:42the image gets turned upside down.
0:21:42 > 0:21:45It's then transported to your brain through an important nerve
0:21:45 > 0:21:47called the optic nerve.
0:21:47 > 0:21:49Your clever brain then flips the image
0:21:49 > 0:21:53so that you see what you're looking at the right way up.
0:21:53 > 0:21:56This complex process is happening all the time.
0:21:56 > 0:22:00But sometimes people's eyes don't work properly and they can't see.
0:22:00 > 0:22:03This is Tim Reddish, a Paralympic athlete
0:22:03 > 0:22:08with 40 medals for Team GB to his name, and he's blind.
0:22:08 > 0:22:09But check this out -
0:22:09 > 0:22:11Tim was given a chance to see again
0:22:11 > 0:22:14thanks to this incredible device - the bionic eye.
0:22:14 > 0:22:18Last year, Tim became one of the first people in the world
0:22:18 > 0:22:20to try one of these bionic eyes
0:22:20 > 0:22:24and it meant he could see something for the first time in years.
0:22:24 > 0:22:27I was fascinated in the first place to see how it would work
0:22:27 > 0:22:31and if it would work, and secondly, to help others in the future.
0:22:31 > 0:22:33This is the moment where Tim's
0:22:33 > 0:22:35bionic eye was switched on.
0:22:37 > 0:22:41He was able to read a clock for the first time in 20 years.
0:22:46 > 0:22:49What was it like when it was first turned on?
0:22:49 > 0:22:52It was unbelievable. The only way to describe it really
0:22:52 > 0:22:54is if ever you've put your head under the duvet
0:22:54 > 0:22:58and you switch on that torch and you see that massive bright light,
0:22:58 > 0:23:01that's what it was like for me the first time it was switched on.
0:23:01 > 0:23:04Once you'd learned to see with it,
0:23:04 > 0:23:06what other things could you make out?
0:23:06 > 0:23:08What was really good for me,
0:23:08 > 0:23:10because I've been honoured and privileged
0:23:10 > 0:23:13to win international medals, I was able to see the shape
0:23:13 > 0:23:17of those medals visually, which I've never been able to do before.
0:23:17 > 0:23:19It's not working any more, is it,
0:23:19 > 0:23:23because this was just a first prototype?
0:23:23 > 0:23:25Yes, this one has broke down at the moment,
0:23:25 > 0:23:27but because of all the work we've done
0:23:27 > 0:23:30they've made some changes to the next one
0:23:30 > 0:23:34that will hopefully work longer and last longer and work better.
0:23:34 > 0:23:38Working on this new bionic eye is Professor Robert MacLaren.
0:23:38 > 0:23:41He's also one of the inventors of Tim's first eye.
0:23:41 > 0:23:43Remember the X-ray of Tim's skull?
0:23:43 > 0:23:47This is what the bionic eye looks like when it's not in his head.
0:23:47 > 0:23:50This bit here, this gold bit, is the bit that goes inside the eye.
0:23:50 > 0:23:56At the very tip here, we've got the light sensing part of the device,
0:23:56 > 0:23:59on which there are 1,500 light-sensing pixels.
0:23:59 > 0:24:03When someone's blind, often their eye's no longer sensitive
0:24:03 > 0:24:05to the light entering it.
0:24:05 > 0:24:07This is where the bionic eye comes in.
0:24:07 > 0:24:10New sensors detect the light coming into the eye
0:24:10 > 0:24:12and a power pack helps the signal
0:24:12 > 0:24:14go from the eye to the brain.
0:24:14 > 0:24:16What we're doing with this technology
0:24:16 > 0:24:19is we're connecting an electronic retina to the nerve,
0:24:19 > 0:24:22so the nerve is now working again, only it's an electronic signal
0:24:22 > 0:24:25rather than the normal signal they had earlier in life.
0:24:25 > 0:24:27That is just amazing, isn't it?
0:24:27 > 0:24:30It's brilliant that scientists and doctors have been able to give
0:24:30 > 0:24:34some vision back to people with no sight at all.
0:24:34 > 0:24:37But this is just the prototype. It's just the first model.
0:24:37 > 0:24:39Imagine what people are going to be able to see
0:24:39 > 0:24:42as the technology and the surgery get even better.
0:24:46 > 0:24:47In accident and emergency,
0:24:47 > 0:24:50there's another patient in need of some help.
0:24:50 > 0:24:51- Well, let's meet her!- All right.
0:24:54 > 0:24:57In Liverpool, eight-year-old Lauren is in accident and emergency
0:24:57 > 0:25:01with her mum, nan and a serious fit of the giggles.
0:25:04 > 0:25:05I'm assuming a fit of the giggles
0:25:05 > 0:25:08isn't the reason she's come to hospital, Chris.
0:25:08 > 0:25:13No, Xand, it's to do with the sling holding up her right arm.
0:25:13 > 0:25:17Yeah, it's swollen and my fingers are all sweaty.
0:25:17 > 0:25:21But how did her arm get swollen, sweaty and in a sling?
0:25:23 > 0:25:26Well, Xand, it was the final of the Handstand Olympics.
0:25:26 > 0:25:29What? Handstands are in the Olympics?
0:25:29 > 0:25:31Don't be ridiculous, I'm joking.
0:25:31 > 0:25:33Lauren was at school, but she was
0:25:33 > 0:25:35doing a perfect handstand.
0:25:35 > 0:25:37Huh. It really was, wasn't it?
0:25:37 > 0:25:39I know. But out of nowhere,
0:25:39 > 0:25:42one of her classmates accidentally bumped into her...
0:25:44 > 0:25:46- ..toppling Lauren over!- And...
0:25:46 > 0:25:48- She bent her wrist.- Ouch.
0:25:50 > 0:25:52It must be really sore.
0:25:52 > 0:25:53I deal with it.
0:25:53 > 0:25:55She's one tough lady.
0:25:55 > 0:25:58But what do you think you've done to your arm, Lauren?
0:25:58 > 0:25:59I've broke it.
0:25:59 > 0:26:01Painful.
0:26:01 > 0:26:05Time for an X-ray to see if Lauren's diagnosis is right.
0:26:07 > 0:26:08That OK? All finished.
0:26:08 > 0:26:10Photo shoot over.
0:26:10 > 0:26:12Time for an examination with...
0:26:14 > 0:26:18OK, can you try and straighten your right elbow out for me?
0:26:18 > 0:26:20- LAUREN WHIMPERS - Good girl.
0:26:20 > 0:26:22Lauren's arm is clearly causing her some pain
0:26:22 > 0:26:25and the X-rays reveal why.
0:26:25 > 0:26:27She's got two fractures in her wrist.
0:26:27 > 0:26:30I've got my first broken bone.
0:26:30 > 0:26:34- Two broken bones. - First two broken bones, then.
0:26:34 > 0:26:37To keep Lauren's wrist straight and help it heal,
0:26:37 > 0:26:39she'll wear a temporary arm splint
0:26:39 > 0:26:42until she comes back to have a plaster cast applied.
0:26:42 > 0:26:44Does that feel OK?
0:26:44 > 0:26:47And quicker than you can say Olympic gold medal handstand champion,
0:26:47 > 0:26:49Lauren's back.
0:26:51 > 0:26:54The plaster is moulded to Lauren's arm,
0:26:54 > 0:26:57and once it sets, will hold it in place to allow the fracture to heal.
0:26:57 > 0:27:00That's your cast on. I just need to give you a sling now.
0:27:00 > 0:27:01I'll get you a sling.
0:27:01 > 0:27:04Good thing about these, you can wear these as a bandana as well.
0:27:04 > 0:27:05Looking good!
0:27:07 > 0:27:10Lauren will need to keep the cast on her arm for two weeks.
0:27:10 > 0:27:11Bye.
0:27:11 > 0:27:14Then she can get back to her handstands. But will she?
0:27:14 > 0:27:18I think so, because I like doing handstands.
0:27:18 > 0:27:21Well, be careful, Lauren. Mind that arm.
0:27:21 > 0:27:23BOTH: Bye!
0:27:25 > 0:27:27Next time, these biscuits go up in flames,
0:27:27 > 0:27:29all in the name of science...

0:27:37 > 0:27:41..and we're on call with the UK's paramedics.
0:27:41 > 0:27:44And at the moment the suspected diagnosis is a stroke,
0:27:44 > 0:27:45so we need to get there fast.
0:27:47 > 0:27:50- BOTH:- We'll see you next time for more Operation Ouch!
0:27:52 > 0:27:54Good, we can keep on playing, then.
0:27:56 > 0:27:58Come on, Xand, make an effort.
0:27:58 > 0:28:00Oh, and do feel free to sniff the body part if it helps.
