0:00:22 > 0:00:24He's Dr Chris.
0:00:24 > 0:00:26He's Dr Xand.
0:00:26 > 0:00:27And, yes, he's still got his beard.
0:00:27 > 0:00:30And we're still identical twins.
0:00:30 > 0:00:33Your body's amazing, and we're going to show you why.
0:00:35 > 0:00:38We're head-to-head in Operation Takeover.
0:00:38 > 0:00:39BOTH: Man overboard!
0:00:39 > 0:00:41LOUD SIREN, THEY SCREAM
0:00:41 > 0:00:43Ouch And About hits the wards.
0:00:43 > 0:00:44What kind of ambulance did you get?
0:00:44 > 0:00:47I didn't get an ambulance, I got a helicopter.
0:00:47 > 0:00:48First Aid is back.
0:00:48 > 0:00:50We do need to get Xand to hospital.
0:00:50 > 0:00:52Meet our new, brilliant Ouch Patients.
0:00:52 > 0:00:53Hello!
0:00:55 > 0:00:57And our lab experiments..
0:00:57 > 0:00:58..will blow...
0:00:58 > 0:01:00..your...
0:01:00 > 0:01:01..mind!
0:01:01 > 0:01:02That is an amazing view.
0:01:02 > 0:01:04Are you ready to join us?
0:01:06 > 0:01:09It's lucky I was wearing my swimming trunks today.
0:01:11 > 0:01:13- Coming up today... - ..on Operation Ouch!
0:01:17 > 0:01:19Things are heating up...
0:01:19 > 0:01:21That is extremely stressful.
0:01:21 > 0:01:23We catch up with our Ouch Patients.
0:01:23 > 0:01:25Hey, guys, it's Bolu again.
0:01:25 > 0:01:26And I blow my own trumpet.
0:01:26 > 0:01:28PARP!
0:01:28 > 0:01:29But first...
0:01:29 > 0:01:32Luckily, the team in the emergency department are super skilled.
0:01:32 > 0:01:34Ooh, is it time for...
0:01:34 > 0:01:35..Super-Xand!
0:01:35 > 0:01:38No, it's never time for him.
0:01:38 > 0:01:41Well, they'll need all their super skills for this first case.
0:01:43 > 0:01:48Waiting in the emergency department with her mum is 12-year-old Jess.
0:01:48 > 0:01:52Looks serious. Jess is inhaling gas and air, what happened?
0:01:52 > 0:01:56My ankle, like, twisted and it really hurts.
0:01:56 > 0:01:59Yep, her ankle's facing the wrong way.
0:01:59 > 0:02:02That looks painful. Let's find out more.
0:02:02 > 0:02:05The sun was shining and Jess was with her friend, Kenzie.
0:02:05 > 0:02:08- What were they doing? - They were jumping.
0:02:08 > 0:02:09Jumping over buildings?
0:02:10 > 0:02:13It wasn't parkour, Xand.
0:02:13 > 0:02:15Oh. They could have been jumping in space.
0:02:15 > 0:02:17They weren't astronauts,
0:02:17 > 0:02:19they were jumping on two trampolines in Kenzie's garden.
0:02:21 > 0:02:23Oh. Did the trampolines have safety nets?
0:02:23 > 0:02:25Unfortunately not.
0:02:25 > 0:02:28Ah, I think I know what's coming.
0:02:28 > 0:02:32Yep, safety nets might have stopped Jess and Kenzie
0:02:32 > 0:02:35- climbing on top of a fence... - Oh, no!
0:02:35 > 0:02:38..and jumping onto the same trampoline at the same time!
0:02:38 > 0:02:40Uh-oh!
0:02:40 > 0:02:43With Jess landing awkwardly on her ankle.
0:02:43 > 0:02:44BOTH: Ouch!
0:02:44 > 0:02:45What do you reckon, Jess?
0:02:45 > 0:02:47Dislocated, I think.
0:02:47 > 0:02:49Let's see if she's right.
0:02:49 > 0:02:50Here to jump in is...
0:02:52 > 0:02:54Better look at this ankle, then.
0:02:54 > 0:02:56When she first came in, I could see it was dislocated.
0:02:56 > 0:02:58The ankle was twisted off to the side.
0:02:58 > 0:03:01You could see where the bone's pressing up against the skin.
0:03:01 > 0:03:03We're going to have to get this ankle back into position,
0:03:03 > 0:03:05so we've got the gas and air going now.
0:03:05 > 0:03:07We'll give you some sprays up the nose,
0:03:07 > 0:03:09try and get the pain under control.
0:03:09 > 0:03:13The nasal spray will help relieve the discomfort Jess is experiencing.
0:03:15 > 0:03:18Dr Tim cuts off Jess' leggings to manipulate her ankle
0:03:18 > 0:03:19back into position.
0:03:19 > 0:03:21Good girl. Big, deep breath.
0:03:21 > 0:03:24Superstar. All right, well done.
0:03:24 > 0:03:26Jess was pretty brave, she didn't complain at all.
0:03:26 > 0:03:29We got it back into position, she coped with it really well.
0:03:29 > 0:03:32Jess gets a temporary full-leg cast to make sure she can't
0:03:32 > 0:03:37move her ankle at all while the docs assess if she's got any breaks.
0:03:37 > 0:03:39Off she goes for x-rays.
0:03:40 > 0:03:42OK, I think we're all finished, well done.
0:03:42 > 0:03:44Dr Tim checks out the results.
0:03:44 > 0:03:48When Jessica's dislocated her ankle, she's broken through the bone
0:03:48 > 0:03:50on the inside which holds the ankle joint in place.
0:03:50 > 0:03:53And that'll need an operation to fix it.
0:03:53 > 0:03:55Dr Tim has to break the bad news.
0:03:55 > 0:03:57Find out later how Jess gets on.
0:04:01 > 0:04:04Did you know that your brain produces enough electricity
0:04:04 > 0:04:08every hour of every day and night to power a light bulb?
0:04:13 > 0:04:15And now to our lab.
0:04:15 > 0:04:17It's time for some big body experiments.
0:04:18 > 0:04:20Some of them gory...
0:04:20 > 0:04:22This is a real pair of cows lungs.
0:04:22 > 0:04:23..some extreme.
0:04:23 > 0:04:25It's freezing!
0:04:25 > 0:04:26We're ready, are you?
0:04:27 > 0:04:30Just don't try anything you see here at home!
0:04:31 > 0:04:33FAINT TALKING, MOVEMENT AND GUITAR PLAYING
0:04:33 > 0:04:35Hi, Chris. You all right?
0:04:35 > 0:04:38Yes. There seems to be something going on with your cupboard.
0:04:38 > 0:04:42Get out of the way. I've got to get the samples for today's experiment.
0:04:42 > 0:04:44Right, dance sample, out you come.
0:04:44 > 0:04:46That's enough of that. Language sample, come on.
0:04:46 > 0:04:49- Hola, me llamo Charlie... - OK, all right, enough showing off.
0:04:49 > 0:04:50And now, music sample.
0:04:50 > 0:04:52LOUD CHORDS
0:04:54 > 0:04:56SOUND CUTS Enough of THAT.
0:04:56 > 0:04:58Xand, what is going on?
0:04:58 > 0:05:02I'm so sorry, I forgot my manners, introductions.
0:05:02 > 0:05:05Music sample, language sample and dance sample, meet Dr Chris.
0:05:05 > 0:05:07Hi, Abby, Charlie and Elias.
0:05:07 > 0:05:08- Hi, Chris.- Hi, Chris.
0:05:08 > 0:05:12My samples are all very talented at very different things,
0:05:12 > 0:05:13as you can see.
0:05:13 > 0:05:15But they do have one thing in common,
0:05:15 > 0:05:18and it's something they have in common with you as well.
0:05:18 > 0:05:20You just can't see it.
0:05:20 > 0:05:22It's called...
0:05:22 > 0:05:25And it's what enables you to learn everything you know.
0:05:25 > 0:05:29You're right, Xand. Your brain is made up of billions of nerve cells,
0:05:29 > 0:05:31or neurons, with billions of connections.
0:05:31 > 0:05:33A bit like this.
0:05:33 > 0:05:35You may have heard of your grey matter.
0:05:35 > 0:05:39That's the surface of the brain, and it's the bit that does the thinking.
0:05:39 > 0:05:40But parts of the grey matter
0:05:40 > 0:05:43need to be connected to other parts using the white matter,
0:05:43 > 0:05:47and that's represented by these fibre-optic cables here.
0:05:47 > 0:05:51The fast connections between different parts of your brain.
0:05:51 > 0:05:54And they allow you to do anything and everything.
0:05:54 > 0:05:56But they aren't all set in stone.
0:05:56 > 0:05:59In fact, every time you learn something like, say,
0:05:59 > 0:06:01how to say something in Spanish...
0:06:01 > 0:06:02Tengo 13 anos.
0:06:02 > 0:06:04Or how to do a new dance move...
0:06:07 > 0:06:10Your brain changes and makes new connections,
0:06:10 > 0:06:12and this is neuroplasticity.
0:06:12 > 0:06:15And it basically means your brain can kind of rewire itself.
0:06:15 > 0:06:18Uh, hello, what about me?
0:06:18 > 0:06:19I'm getting to you.
0:06:19 > 0:06:23In fact, every time you try and play a new piece of music...
0:06:23 > 0:06:26ROCKING GUITAR RIFF
0:06:26 > 0:06:27Xand!
0:06:27 > 0:06:29Ahem!
0:06:29 > 0:06:31Every time you practise a piece of music,
0:06:31 > 0:06:33your brain reinforces the connections
0:06:33 > 0:06:35and it becomes easier than the last time.
0:06:35 > 0:06:38And it's exactly the same as when I play my trumpet.
0:06:38 > 0:06:41I've been practising all morning, so I should be really good at it.
0:06:41 > 0:06:44TUNELESS PARPING
0:06:44 > 0:06:46Let's get out of here, guys.
0:06:48 > 0:06:49Xand.
0:06:49 > 0:06:53I don't understand, Chris, I've been practising for literally minutes.
0:06:53 > 0:06:55I mean, I should be pretty good, shouldn't I?
0:06:55 > 0:06:56It's not that simple.
0:06:56 > 0:06:59And to find out why it's not that simple, we need to go outside.
0:06:59 > 0:07:01Come on, Xand. And come on, you.
0:07:07 > 0:07:10Xand, this is my brain.
0:07:10 > 0:07:12Looks more like a giant pile of sand.
0:07:12 > 0:07:13Bear with me on this, Xand.
0:07:13 > 0:07:15These channels that I've made
0:07:15 > 0:07:17represent the connections in my brain.
0:07:18 > 0:07:20And you are wearing a bottle
0:07:20 > 0:07:23of information on your back, right there.
0:07:23 > 0:07:26Now, why don't you pour the information
0:07:26 > 0:07:27into the top of the brain?
0:07:27 > 0:07:30And what you'll see is the information flows
0:07:30 > 0:07:34through the existing channel in my pile-of-sand brain.
0:07:34 > 0:07:37So what's happening is the channel gets deeper,
0:07:37 > 0:07:40the water finds it easier to make its way through the sand.
0:07:40 > 0:07:42This is just like information in your brain.
0:07:42 > 0:07:45When you do something you've done before,
0:07:45 > 0:07:48the information uses the same connections it's used in the past.
0:07:48 > 0:07:51It picks the quickest and most effective route.
0:07:51 > 0:07:53A bit like the channels in the sand.
0:07:53 > 0:07:56So what would happen if you tried to learn a brand-new skill?
0:07:56 > 0:07:59Well, Xand, why don't you start pouring information
0:07:59 > 0:08:00into the top of the brain?
0:08:00 > 0:08:03But this is new information, and it needs to take a new path.
0:08:03 > 0:08:06So the information gradually starts to flow through,
0:08:06 > 0:08:09but there's no good channel initially, it has to find a path.
0:08:09 > 0:08:11And you can see, a channel is forming,
0:08:11 > 0:08:14as Xand does more and more practice, but it's not very deep,
0:08:14 > 0:08:17and information is taking a long time to get through.
0:08:17 > 0:08:21And as Xand practices this new skill, the channel becomes deeper,
0:08:21 > 0:08:24and the information can flow more efficiently.
0:08:24 > 0:08:27So is this why I wasn't very good at the trumpet
0:08:27 > 0:08:30after literally minutes of practice?
0:08:30 > 0:08:33That's right, Xand, because it takes longer than a few minutes to improve
0:08:33 > 0:08:36the speed of the connections between different parts of your brain.
0:08:36 > 0:08:39In fact, it can take months or even years
0:08:39 > 0:08:41to reach your full skill level.
0:08:42 > 0:08:44But there's one more thing I can show you
0:08:44 > 0:08:46on my amazing model brain made of sand.
0:08:46 > 0:08:47Wow, what's that?
0:08:47 > 0:08:50I can show you what would happen if your brain got an injury.
0:08:52 > 0:08:55Put the shovel in there, the information now can't get through.
0:08:55 > 0:08:57Xand, pour some information in the top of the brain.
0:08:58 > 0:09:02That's amazing, what you can see now is the information gets stopped at
0:09:02 > 0:09:04the site of injury and can't get past the shovel.
0:09:04 > 0:09:07But this is where your brain is amazing.
0:09:07 > 0:09:10As the information flows toward the shovel, gradually,
0:09:10 > 0:09:14your brain is able to make new connections and find new pathways.
0:09:14 > 0:09:17And sometimes this means your brain
0:09:17 > 0:09:21can recover and regain function after even quite a severe injury.
0:09:22 > 0:09:24So, we've shown you all about the connections in your brain
0:09:24 > 0:09:27which enable you to do...everything!
0:09:27 > 0:09:29It's called neuroplasticity.
0:09:29 > 0:09:33And we've shown you that your brain is constantly making new connections
0:09:33 > 0:09:35every time you learn something new.
0:09:35 > 0:09:37It can even rewire itself if it gets damaged.
0:09:37 > 0:09:39FLUENT TRUMPETING
0:09:39 > 0:09:41I must say, Xand, that is sounding a lot better.
0:09:41 > 0:09:44You must have really strengthened up those neural connections.
0:09:44 > 0:09:45I'll let you get on with it.
0:09:47 > 0:09:49TRUMPETING CONTINUES
0:09:53 > 0:09:56Meet Kaden, Maisie, Bolu and Millie.
0:09:56 > 0:09:59We're following them across the series as they let us know
0:09:59 > 0:10:02what it's like to be a regular hospital outpatient.
0:10:02 > 0:10:07They invite us into their lives, at home and as they undergo treatment.
0:10:07 > 0:10:09Meet 12-year-old Bolu.
0:10:09 > 0:10:11Hey, guys, it's Bolu again.
0:10:11 > 0:10:12Bolu has a condition called...
0:10:14 > 0:10:17This is where the body produces unusually shaped red blood cells,
0:10:17 > 0:10:20which aren't very good at carrying oxygen.
0:10:20 > 0:10:24This causes problems such as pain, tiredness and blood clots.
0:10:24 > 0:10:27To make sure Bolu's blood is carrying enough oxygen,
0:10:27 > 0:10:29she has to have it regularly tested at hospital.
0:10:29 > 0:10:33- This is Debbie, she's taking my bloods today.- Hi.
0:10:33 > 0:10:35Hopefully, she'll be giving me loads.
0:10:35 > 0:10:37No.
0:10:37 > 0:10:39Debbie is going to collect a sample of Bolu's blood
0:10:39 > 0:10:42using a finger-prick test.
0:10:42 > 0:10:44It's not painful, but it's OK,
0:10:44 > 0:10:48because I've been getting it every day of my life, really.
0:10:48 > 0:10:51So it's kind of just a normal thing for me.
0:10:51 > 0:10:53And how's Bolu's finger doing, Debbie?
0:10:53 > 0:10:54Ten out of ten.
0:10:54 > 0:10:57Ten out of ten, oh, yeah.
0:10:57 > 0:10:59Yay, well done, Bolu's finger.
0:10:59 > 0:11:01So we've got all them bloods off her today.
0:11:01 > 0:11:03I'm so proud of my finger.
0:11:03 > 0:11:05Look at my finger.
0:11:05 > 0:11:07It's so cool.
0:11:07 > 0:11:09These blood samples will be sent to the lab to be tested.
0:11:09 > 0:11:12The doctors will then look at the results,
0:11:12 > 0:11:15and if there's anything that they don't like,
0:11:15 > 0:11:18then Bolu will be called in to speak to the doctor.
0:11:18 > 0:11:20So now you know who's taking my bloods
0:11:20 > 0:11:22and now you know where I take my bloods.
0:11:22 > 0:11:25See you next time, guys, on Operation Ouch!
0:11:28 > 0:11:30Back in the emergency department,
0:11:30 > 0:11:32Jess needs surgery for her broken ankle.
0:11:32 > 0:11:36If only there was some way we could find out what they're going to do.
0:11:36 > 0:11:38There is, Xand! Come with me.
0:11:40 > 0:11:45Earlier in the emergency department, Jess came in with an ankle in agony.
0:11:45 > 0:11:46Jess and her friend Kenzie
0:11:46 > 0:11:49were playing on trampolines in the garden.
0:11:49 > 0:11:50They both climbed a fence,
0:11:50 > 0:11:53jumped onto a trampoline at the same time...
0:11:53 > 0:11:57- And Jess landed awkwardly on her ankle.- BOTH: Ouch!
0:11:57 > 0:11:58What's going on, Jess?
0:11:58 > 0:12:00I've been here overnight,
0:12:00 > 0:12:02and I'm waiting for my operation on my ankle.
0:12:02 > 0:12:05Looks like Mum's been making her a balloon buddy.
0:12:05 > 0:12:07Herbert the giraffe dog.
0:12:07 > 0:12:09All right, Herbert? Smile for the camera.
0:12:09 > 0:12:11I just love Herbert the dog.
0:12:11 > 0:12:13So do I.
0:12:13 > 0:12:17Jess leaves Herbert behind while she has a CT scan before her surgery.
0:12:17 > 0:12:20This will give the doctors more detailed images of her ankle,
0:12:20 > 0:12:23which they will use during the operation.
0:12:23 > 0:12:24She heads off to theatre.
0:12:24 > 0:12:27And, look, Herbert's gone along for the ride.
0:12:29 > 0:12:31In charge of the operation is consultant...
0:12:34 > 0:12:39First, he looks at the detailed CT scan, a 3-D picture of Jess' ankle.
0:12:39 > 0:12:42He can see exactly where the breaks occurred.
0:12:42 > 0:12:46He also notices a piece of cartilage has come loose.
0:12:46 > 0:12:47That needs removing too.
0:12:47 > 0:12:50In the operating theatre, we made a hole in the joint,
0:12:50 > 0:12:54cleaned the loose fragments of bone and cartilage, which were removed.
0:12:55 > 0:12:59Mr Cashman uses an x-ray camera to help guide him as he drills a hole.
0:12:59 > 0:13:01And he sticks in a screw
0:13:01 > 0:13:04which will hold Jess' broken ankle bone back together.
0:13:04 > 0:13:08With Jess sewn up and surgery over, she has a new plaster cast fitted.
0:13:08 > 0:13:11This will be on for four weeks.
0:13:11 > 0:13:12What have you learned, Jess?
0:13:12 > 0:13:15Do not jump on trampolines off of fences.
0:13:15 > 0:13:17Good idea. And a net on the trampoline, please.
0:13:17 > 0:13:20Time for Jess to head home.
0:13:20 > 0:13:22Go on, then, off you go.
0:13:22 > 0:13:23Oh! Oh, no!
0:13:25 > 0:13:26There she goes.
0:13:26 > 0:13:28- Bye.- BOTH: Bye!
0:13:29 > 0:13:31Still to come...
0:13:31 > 0:13:33Ouch Patient Millie is back.
0:13:33 > 0:13:34Hello!
0:13:34 > 0:13:36And Cassidy spots wildlife.
0:13:36 > 0:13:38So, is there a mummy giraffe?
0:13:40 > 0:13:44Amazing people do lots of important jobs inside and outside hospitals
0:13:44 > 0:13:46that help to keep you safe.
0:13:46 > 0:13:49But what will happen when we have a go?
0:13:49 > 0:13:51I feel a bit silly.
0:13:51 > 0:13:53This is Operation Takeover.
0:13:54 > 0:13:55Can you guess who today's hero is?
0:13:55 > 0:13:58Well, I'll give you a clue - they like to wear these at work...
0:14:00 > 0:14:02They sometimes use one of these...
0:14:03 > 0:14:06And they get to work using one of these!
0:14:06 > 0:14:09Actually, Xand, I was going to say they use a lot of this.
0:14:09 > 0:14:10What?!
0:14:10 > 0:14:12Brrrr!
0:14:12 > 0:14:13Yep, you guessed it -
0:14:13 > 0:14:16we're about to take over the jobs of today's heroes,
0:14:16 > 0:14:18firefighters Andy and Gemma.
0:14:21 > 0:14:26Fires can destroy homes and even lives if not attended to quickly.
0:14:26 > 0:14:29Firefighters aren't just qualified to put out fires,
0:14:29 > 0:14:32they're also medically trained to treat any casualties.
0:14:32 > 0:14:35What sort of emergencies are you trained to respond to?
0:14:35 > 0:14:37We go to small fires, big fires like buildings,
0:14:37 > 0:14:39then we go to lots of car crashes.
0:14:39 > 0:14:43We go to spillages of hazardous substances, floods,
0:14:43 > 0:14:47all sorts of things where people need our help in the Fire Service.
0:14:47 > 0:14:50Firefighters often treat people before the paramedics arrive.
0:14:50 > 0:14:52This is Andy's medical kit.
0:14:52 > 0:14:54This is what we call our trauma pack.
0:14:54 > 0:14:56We have an AED, for people who have an heart attack.
0:14:56 > 0:14:58It gives them an electric shock to hopefully
0:14:58 > 0:15:00get their heart back into a normal rhythm.
0:15:00 > 0:15:01We carry oxygen and masks in here
0:15:01 > 0:15:04for people that have breathed in smoke.
0:15:04 > 0:15:06In here is cling film, which is a perfect dressing
0:15:06 > 0:15:08for somebody who has been burned.
0:15:08 > 0:15:11And then bandages and tourniquets for bleeding.
0:15:11 > 0:15:13Let's take on the challenge!
0:15:13 > 0:15:15Are you ready, Xand?
0:15:15 > 0:15:17I can't see a thing.
0:15:17 > 0:15:20It's time for us to take over as firefighters.
0:15:23 > 0:15:25So, behind you, you've got a burning building.
0:15:25 > 0:15:27Your challenge is to get off the fire engine,
0:15:27 > 0:15:29to get the correct equipment on,
0:15:29 > 0:15:31get into that building, search for a casualty,
0:15:31 > 0:15:32bring them out and treat them
0:15:32 > 0:15:35using your first aid skills as appropriate.
0:15:35 > 0:15:36I'm feeling a little nervous.
0:15:36 > 0:15:37Before we get going,
0:15:37 > 0:15:41firefighter Gemma reminds us what we're getting judged on.
0:15:41 > 0:15:43First will be our arrival at the scene.
0:15:43 > 0:15:45We anticipate that we will get to every house fire
0:15:45 > 0:15:47within the West Midlands within five minutes.
0:15:47 > 0:15:49So we have to get dressed,
0:15:49 > 0:15:52get the vehicle to the house fire and be dressed and ready to go.
0:15:52 > 0:15:55Second, how quickly we find the casualty.
0:15:55 > 0:15:58It's really important when we go in that we stick together as a team.
0:15:58 > 0:16:01Communication is an absolute must.
0:16:01 > 0:16:03And never go any further than an arm's length away from each other.
0:16:03 > 0:16:05It's dark and it's smoky,
0:16:05 > 0:16:07and it could be really hot if there's a fire in there.
0:16:07 > 0:16:09- So we may not be able to see.- No.
0:16:09 > 0:16:12And finally, how we treat the patient.
0:16:12 > 0:16:15If somebody takes two breaths of smoke in a fire,
0:16:15 > 0:16:16then they could become unconscious,
0:16:16 > 0:16:18so it's a really, really dangerous environment.
0:16:18 > 0:16:22Rescue of life is the most important.
0:16:22 > 0:16:24Gear on, and the challenge starts.
0:16:24 > 0:16:27Right, Xand, the most important thing about being a firefighter
0:16:27 > 0:16:30is staying cool, calm and collected. Have you got that?
0:16:30 > 0:16:31LOUD SIREN, THEY SCREAM
0:16:33 > 0:16:36Time to go in, Chris. Let's see what you're made of.
0:16:36 > 0:16:37I'm all over it, Xandy!
0:16:38 > 0:16:40Good work. Chris arrives at the scene
0:16:40 > 0:16:42and is out of the fire engine quickly.
0:16:42 > 0:16:45Is that a house fire? Quickly as you can, now.
0:16:45 > 0:16:47You've got it, Andy. Fireman Chris to the rescue.
0:16:47 > 0:16:49There's a casualty in there, OK?
0:16:49 > 0:16:51Stay low if it's hot.
0:16:51 > 0:16:53Gemma leads Chris into the burning building,
0:16:53 > 0:16:56and there's thermal infrared imaging to bring you the action.
0:16:59 > 0:17:01Chris, are you listening to instructions?
0:17:01 > 0:17:04Xand, I can't see anything in all this smoke.
0:17:08 > 0:17:10You're not communicating much, Chris.
0:17:15 > 0:17:18- Can you walk?- Yeah, thank you.
0:17:18 > 0:17:19There's the casualty,
0:17:19 > 0:17:21time to get him out safely and treat his injuries.
0:17:27 > 0:17:30- How are you feeling? - I think I've broken my arm.
0:17:30 > 0:17:31You think you've broken your arm?
0:17:33 > 0:17:34- Do you know what day it is?- Monday.
0:17:36 > 0:17:38- Is it Monday?- I think so.
0:17:38 > 0:17:41You're more orientated than I am, anyway.
0:17:41 > 0:17:42Come on, Chris, get with it.
0:17:43 > 0:17:46All right, all right. Anyway, it's your turn.
0:17:46 > 0:17:47Let's see how good you are.
0:17:51 > 0:17:52Come on, hurry up, get off the fire engine.
0:17:55 > 0:17:59Seriously, Xand, you've lost loads of time trying to find the door.
0:18:00 > 0:18:01Follow Gemma in there.
0:18:01 > 0:18:04Find that casualty for me and bring him or her out.
0:18:06 > 0:18:09It's really difficult to see anything in the smoke.
0:18:09 > 0:18:10You're not kidding, Xand.
0:18:20 > 0:18:22Good communication skills, Xand.
0:18:22 > 0:18:23All right, we've got you.
0:18:23 > 0:18:26And you located the casualty quickly, well done.
0:18:26 > 0:18:30OK, take him over to the casualty area, he'll need treatment.
0:18:32 > 0:18:34Now, let's see how you treat his injuries.
0:18:36 > 0:18:38The casualty has got burns on his hands.
0:18:38 > 0:18:41Let's have a look at his sats first of all.
0:18:41 > 0:18:43Oh, I didn't turn it on.
0:18:43 > 0:18:44How's your hand feeling now?
0:18:44 > 0:18:47Shall we get some cling film on that as well, then?
0:18:47 > 0:18:49That is extremely stressful.
0:18:49 > 0:18:53Challenge complete. It's time for the verdict.
0:18:53 > 0:18:56First up, Andy judges our arrival at the scene.
0:18:56 > 0:18:58Xand, there was a little bit of a delay
0:18:58 > 0:19:00because you couldn't open the fire engine door.
0:19:03 > 0:19:07- How long was that? Ten, 15 minutes? - It was fine, I got out.
0:19:07 > 0:19:10Gemma judges us on how quickly we found the casualty.
0:19:10 > 0:19:11Chris, when we went inside,
0:19:11 > 0:19:13you were a little bit rabbit in the headlights.
0:19:13 > 0:19:16You were quite nervous, weren't sure what instructions to follow.
0:19:19 > 0:19:22Rabbit in the headlights is never a good thing.
0:19:22 > 0:19:25Finally, Andy judges us on how we treated the patient.
0:19:25 > 0:19:26Once the casualty was out,
0:19:26 > 0:19:29you were both equally good treating the casualty.
0:19:29 > 0:19:30You'd make good doctors.
0:19:30 > 0:19:32Well, that's relief, given we ARE doctors.
0:19:32 > 0:19:34But who was the best firefighter?
0:19:34 > 0:19:37- What's the verdict?- The winner is...
0:19:37 > 0:19:40- Chris.- Chris, well done.- Oh...
0:19:40 > 0:19:43- What let Xand down?- Not being able to get out of the fire engine.
0:19:43 > 0:19:45- Right.- Kind of like a basic firefighter skill,
0:19:45 > 0:19:46to be able to open the door.
0:19:46 > 0:19:48Well done. I may have beaten you,
0:19:48 > 0:19:52but I think we've both learned that being a firefighter is not easy,
0:19:52 > 0:19:54and I think it's probably best left to the professionals.
0:19:54 > 0:19:57- We should hand back our helmets. - Thank you very much.
0:19:57 > 0:20:00It's time to visit our next Ouch Patient.
0:20:00 > 0:20:02Hello.
0:20:02 > 0:20:03Remember Millie? She has...
0:20:06 > 0:20:10Millie's condition means she experiences pain in her joints.
0:20:10 > 0:20:14Arthritis also makes my joints really stiff.
0:20:14 > 0:20:17To help strengthen the muscles around her joints,
0:20:17 > 0:20:19she has to do exercises at home.
0:20:19 > 0:20:22I do this to strengthen my ankle.
0:20:22 > 0:20:25She also has to go for regular physiotherapy lessons.
0:20:25 > 0:20:29- This is my physiotherapist, Leona. - Hi!
0:20:29 > 0:20:32She gives me lots of exercises to help my joints,
0:20:32 > 0:20:33and she makes me giggle.
0:20:36 > 0:20:39Because Millie's arthritis affects different parts of her body,
0:20:39 > 0:20:42Leona has lots of exercises for her to practice.
0:20:42 > 0:20:44This strengthens the muscles around her joints,
0:20:44 > 0:20:47so she can be more active and have less pain.
0:20:47 > 0:20:48Wow, that looks fun!
0:20:49 > 0:20:52When I'm older, I want to be a physio
0:20:52 > 0:20:55so I can help other children that
0:20:55 > 0:20:57have arthritis and other problems.
0:20:59 > 0:21:00I love cycling.
0:21:00 > 0:21:06Physio was really good, and I'm looking forward to coming next time.
0:21:06 > 0:21:08How do you think Millie did, Leona?
0:21:08 > 0:21:09I think that Millie's definitely...
0:21:09 > 0:21:12You're definitely getting stronger, aren't you?
0:21:12 > 0:21:15So, what we do need to do is add a few more to your next programme now
0:21:15 > 0:21:18- to make it a bit harder.- No!
0:21:18 > 0:21:19Aw, never mind, Millie.
0:21:19 > 0:21:21Come and see how I'm doing next time. Bye!
0:21:21 > 0:21:22BOTH: Bye!
0:21:27 > 0:21:31Your body is amazing, but sometimes it needs help.
0:21:31 > 0:21:33All over the UK, there are special teams of professionals
0:21:33 > 0:21:35trained to tackle medical mysteries.
0:21:36 > 0:21:39We use our eyes all the time to see the world around us.
0:21:39 > 0:21:43So when something goes wrong and you can't see properly,
0:21:43 > 0:21:44it can be quite scary.
0:21:45 > 0:21:48But don't worry, whatever your eye issue,
0:21:48 > 0:21:50there are special types of doctors on hand
0:21:50 > 0:21:52to help you see more clearly.
0:21:53 > 0:21:56Chris, I think you'd better find out some more.
0:21:56 > 0:21:57I'm on it, Xand.
0:21:57 > 0:21:59I'm in the ophthalmology department,
0:21:59 > 0:22:02and this is where you'll find...
0:22:07 > 0:22:09Now, you don't have to be able to pronounce all that,
0:22:09 > 0:22:11but you should know that they all work as a team, here,
0:22:11 > 0:22:14so that if you have a problem with your eyes,
0:22:14 > 0:22:16they can diagnose it and help to fix it.
0:22:16 > 0:22:17This is...
0:22:19 > 0:22:22And it's her job to help fix people's eyes.
0:22:22 > 0:22:25Can you explain to me what an orthoptist is?
0:22:25 > 0:22:27An orthoptist is part of the eye clinic,
0:22:27 > 0:22:32and orthoptics deals with what we call disorders of binocular vision.
0:22:32 > 0:22:34And that means, obviously, most of us,
0:22:34 > 0:22:38our eyes move together and try and create the same picture.
0:22:38 > 0:22:43But if one eye has a problem with it,
0:22:43 > 0:22:45then it won't be seeing the same thing as the other.
0:22:45 > 0:22:49And that's the whole basis behind it.
0:22:49 > 0:22:53So, a common thing that you might see is a child,
0:22:53 > 0:22:56where one eye is pointing in a different direction to the other.
0:22:56 > 0:22:58- Yep.- And rather than have double vision,
0:22:58 > 0:23:02- the brain would just turn off the one eye.- It does.
0:23:02 > 0:23:04Your eyes work like a camera.
0:23:04 > 0:23:07Light passes through the lens to the back of the eye, called the retina.
0:23:07 > 0:23:10But because your lens is curved and light is straight,
0:23:10 > 0:23:12the image gets turned upside down.
0:23:14 > 0:23:17It's then transported to your brain through the optic nerve,
0:23:17 > 0:23:19where it's flipped the right way up again.
0:23:19 > 0:23:22Your brain combines these signals from each eye together
0:23:22 > 0:23:23to create a 3-D image.
0:23:23 > 0:23:26But when these signals aren't working properly,
0:23:26 > 0:23:29you can get what's called a lazy eye.
0:23:29 > 0:23:31Having a lazy eye is actually really common,
0:23:31 > 0:23:34around one in 40 children will have one at some point.
0:23:34 > 0:23:37And the main way of treating a lazy eye is using glasses,
0:23:37 > 0:23:38and sometimes a patch.
0:23:38 > 0:23:40And you put the patch over the good eye,
0:23:40 > 0:23:44which forces the lazy eye to do a bit more work.
0:23:44 > 0:23:45Hello, Cassidy.
0:23:45 > 0:23:49Five-year-old Cassidy has had a lazy eye since she was one.
0:23:49 > 0:23:51Well done.
0:23:51 > 0:23:53She's had glasses and patches to treat it,
0:23:53 > 0:23:57and has come in today to see Maureen for a check on her progress.
0:23:57 > 0:24:00So, shall we see how clever this eye is and how clever this one is?
0:24:00 > 0:24:03Yeah? Can I just pop a little cover over one eye, just for a minute?
0:24:03 > 0:24:05Maureen does some quick tests to check if Cassidy's
0:24:05 > 0:24:08using both her eyes equally.
0:24:08 > 0:24:10I like your glasses, Cassidy.
0:24:10 > 0:24:13Can you look hard and tell me what this shape is here?
0:24:13 > 0:24:16Clever girl. And what's this one?
0:24:16 > 0:24:17Wonderful.
0:24:18 > 0:24:20Well done.
0:24:20 > 0:24:23The strength of Cassidy's right eye acts as a guide for Maureen to
0:24:23 > 0:24:26determine whether her lazy left eye has got any stronger.
0:24:26 > 0:24:29Oops, I nearly ate him then!
0:24:29 > 0:24:30So, is there a mummy giraffe?
0:24:32 > 0:24:34And is there a baby giraffe?
0:24:34 > 0:24:37- Yeah.- And can you see the baby giraffe's eyelashes?
0:24:37 > 0:24:39- Yeah.- OK.
0:24:39 > 0:24:41The difference between the two eyes now is negligible.
0:24:41 > 0:24:45So Cassidy hasn't got a lazy eye now, she's fine.
0:24:45 > 0:24:47That's great news!
0:24:47 > 0:24:49We've seen how orthoptists can use glasses
0:24:49 > 0:24:51to fix the vision in a lazy eye.
0:24:51 > 0:24:53But if you have an eye problem, there are loads
0:24:53 > 0:24:56of other eye specialists out there who can help you too.
0:24:59 > 0:25:02I'm here in the studio with Dr Chris.
0:25:02 > 0:25:04And, Dr Chris, I'm going to start the question
0:25:04 > 0:25:06that is on everyone's mind today -
0:25:06 > 0:25:09who is the next patient in A&E?
0:25:09 > 0:25:11Well, Xand, I'm very glad you asked me that.
0:25:11 > 0:25:12Let's go find out!
0:25:12 > 0:25:13Yes, let's!
0:25:17 > 0:25:18In the emergency department,
0:25:18 > 0:25:21eight-year-old Chris is waiting with his mum and dad.
0:25:21 > 0:25:23What's happened, fella?
0:25:23 > 0:25:25My leg started hurting.
0:25:25 > 0:25:27Oh, dear! Lets find out more.
0:25:28 > 0:25:30It was a beautiful sunny day,
0:25:30 > 0:25:33and Chris was in the playground, playing tag.
0:25:33 > 0:25:34He was playing with bags?
0:25:34 > 0:25:36He was playing tag, Xand.
0:25:36 > 0:25:38Oh, right, flags.
0:25:38 > 0:25:40Xand, he was playing tag!
0:25:40 > 0:25:42Stags, right. Got it.
0:25:42 > 0:25:44That does sound dangerous.
0:25:44 > 0:25:47No, Xand, he was with his friends, playing tag!
0:25:47 > 0:25:48OK, keep your hair on.
0:25:48 > 0:25:51Righto, Chris was playing tag.
0:25:51 > 0:25:54Yes! He was running really fast, when all of a sudden,
0:25:54 > 0:25:56his knee twinged with pain and he had to stop.
0:25:57 > 0:25:59BOTH: Ouch!
0:25:59 > 0:26:01It hurts right there.
0:26:01 > 0:26:02Under the kneecap.
0:26:02 > 0:26:05Well, Chris, we'd better get that leg seen pronto.
0:26:08 > 0:26:12Here's Dr Sarah Edwards to check out that painful pin.
0:26:13 > 0:26:15Anywhere else hurting at all?
0:26:15 > 0:26:18- No.- So it's just your knee. - Yeah.- Fantastic.
0:26:18 > 0:26:19Can you bend it for me?
0:26:20 > 0:26:22Knee-sy does it, doc!
0:26:22 > 0:26:24Now, can you straighten it for me?
0:26:24 > 0:26:25- With pain.- It hurts.
0:26:25 > 0:26:28- And it's hurting just at the back, here?- Yeah.
0:26:28 > 0:26:30We'll get an x-ray of that knee area,
0:26:30 > 0:26:32just to have a look, all right?
0:26:32 > 0:26:34Chris hops off to x-ray,
0:26:34 > 0:26:37where radiographer Catherine Barnett checks for breaks in that knee.
0:26:37 > 0:26:40Keep that one nice and straight. That's it.
0:26:40 > 0:26:41Done.
0:26:41 > 0:26:44Oh, good old Dad's on hand to carry Chris.
0:26:44 > 0:26:46Thanks, Dad!
0:26:46 > 0:26:47What's the verdict, doc?
0:26:47 > 0:26:48Looking at the x-ray,
0:26:48 > 0:26:52there's no obvious breaks or anything that we can see.
0:26:52 > 0:26:56It does look very swollen, that knee, though.
0:26:56 > 0:26:59As the joint is enflamed, Chris will have to take painkillers.
0:26:59 > 0:27:01High five? Awesome, thank you.
0:27:01 > 0:27:05Have you got any advice for when I next play tag, Chris?
0:27:05 > 0:27:08Be a bit careful and don't run that fast.
0:27:08 > 0:27:09Sounds good. See you, fella.
0:27:09 > 0:27:11Bye!
0:27:11 > 0:27:13Next time on Operation Ouch!...
0:27:14 > 0:27:16We're not so clever.
0:27:17 > 0:27:18I've got some good advice...
0:27:18 > 0:27:20You can blame it on Dr Xand.
0:27:20 > 0:27:22And Xand put his feet up.
0:27:22 > 0:27:23Wah!
0:27:26 > 0:27:30So, we'll see you next time for more Operation Ouch!
0:27:32 > 0:27:34Chris! Chris!
0:27:34 > 0:27:37I missed the ending! Chris!
0:27:37 > 0:27:40Actually, Xand, I was going to say they like to use a lot of this!
0:27:43 > 0:27:45You didn't get any of it on me at all.
0:27:45 > 0:27:46You'd be a terrible firefighter.
0:27:46 > 0:27:49Sorry, that was really bad. I soaked the wall.
0:27:49 > 0:27:50What are you doing?
0:27:50 > 0:27:52You complete idiot!
