0:01:10 > 0:01:13Is he likely to try and run away when we get up there?

0:02:27 > 0:02:31we should be overhead at the scene at about 15:04.
0:02:31 > 0:02:34If we both go to the patient and just actually see what the story is.
0:02:34 > 0:02:37Yeah, definitely. Turn the appeal off and get some more information.
0:02:37 > 0:02:41Crewman John Legge from Merseyside is trying to find the motocross
0:02:41 > 0:02:46track where the accident's happened, and to identify a safe landing spot.
0:02:46 > 0:02:47OK, two miles to run.
0:02:49 > 0:02:51- I think it's probably this, mate. - Yeah.
0:02:51 > 0:02:55So the point that we're going for, that we were given, is over there on that crossroads.
0:02:55 > 0:02:58But this looks like a motocross track to me.
0:02:58 > 0:03:00- Yeah, straight off and over it. - Yeah.- Yeah.
0:03:02 > 0:03:06It's just 15 minutes since they were scrambled, but Dr Chris is down.
0:03:12 > 0:03:14Now he must hitch a ride to his patient.
0:03:18 > 0:03:19In the shed here?
0:03:19 > 0:03:22It's probably not a bad area for us to have a look at him,
0:03:22 > 0:03:24anyway, is it?
0:03:24 > 0:03:25Thanks, Dave.
0:03:27 > 0:03:29- How you doing, mate? - PATIENT GROANS
0:03:29 > 0:03:30All right.
0:03:30 > 0:03:34So this is Mitchell, he's um, come off his bike while doing motocross.
0:03:34 > 0:03:37Unknown speed, unknown height.
0:03:37 > 0:03:40Erm...doesn't know how he fell off or where he landed.
0:03:40 > 0:03:43I've got decreased breaths down to the right-hand side
0:03:43 > 0:03:45- and lower- left-hand side. OK.
0:03:45 > 0:03:47Not complaining of any neck pain.
0:03:47 > 0:03:51But they said when they took his helmet off it was twisted.
0:03:51 > 0:03:53- Right, OK.- Thank you.
0:03:53 > 0:03:56- So he's got surgical emphysema on...?- Yeah.- OK. On this side.
0:03:57 > 0:03:59So we'll do... We'll do a chest drain.
0:03:59 > 0:04:0416-year-old Mitchell came off his bike on a high-speed jump.
0:04:04 > 0:04:06He's badly hurt - he's struggling to breathe.
0:04:06 > 0:04:10So I'm just going to do a quick scan of your tummy, mate.
0:04:10 > 0:04:12MITCHELL GROANS
0:04:12 > 0:04:14So...Pneumothorax on that side.
0:04:14 > 0:04:19Dr Chris diagnoses a collapsed lung, or pneumothorax, and broken ribs.
0:04:19 > 0:04:21Another sting, Mitch, in your arm, OK?
0:04:21 > 0:04:23Mitchell's dad is by his side.
0:04:23 > 0:04:26All right, Dad, listen, he's got a punctured lung on this side.
0:04:26 > 0:04:30So I'm going to put a tube in the side of his chest, drain out that blood, there, OK?
0:04:30 > 0:04:32I'm just going to do that straight away here now,
0:04:32 > 0:04:35and then we'll probably take him to Liverpool Hospital.
0:04:35 > 0:04:39OK, mate. Listen, Mitch. You've got a punctured lung, OK?
0:04:39 > 0:04:42I'm going to give you some medicine which is going to put you to sleep
0:04:42 > 0:04:45a bit, a bit drowsy, and I'm going to put a tube in the side of this chest, OK?
0:04:45 > 0:04:50Dr Chris must act immediately to ease his patient's breathing.
0:04:50 > 0:04:53He'll have to perform surgery in this shed.
0:04:53 > 0:04:57It's a risky procedure even in a hospital.
0:04:57 > 0:04:59But Mitchell's life is at stake.
0:05:14 > 0:05:17Kurt Weedon used to patrol Kent.
0:05:17 > 0:05:20- Sarah Denny comes from Liverpool. - OK.
0:05:20 > 0:05:22Together, they are the police
0:05:22 > 0:05:27in an area bigger than the British counties in which they worked.
0:05:27 > 0:05:29They're based in the outback town of Laverton,
0:05:29 > 0:05:33500 miles from Perth in Western Australia.
0:05:33 > 0:05:35We're going out to the desert today.
0:05:35 > 0:05:37This is something I never had to do back home.
0:05:37 > 0:05:41The old factor 50 sport, I can't remember...
0:05:41 > 0:05:43how many times I had to use sunscreen back in England.
0:05:43 > 0:05:44I think once.
0:05:44 > 0:05:48Kurt and Sarah are partners on duty and off.
0:05:48 > 0:05:50- PHONE RINGS - That'll be the phone.
0:05:51 > 0:05:53Sarah!
0:05:54 > 0:05:55How can it take so long?
0:05:57 > 0:06:00Are you rushing me now? I need to make sure I've got everything.
0:06:00 > 0:06:02Why haven't I got any sunglasses?
0:06:03 > 0:06:05I don't know, I'm not your mother!
0:06:05 > 0:06:08Like all officers, they have their strengths and weaknesses,
0:06:08 > 0:06:10and she knows all about his.
0:06:10 > 0:06:13He's actually quite good as a police officer.
0:06:13 > 0:06:14I can't really, erm...
0:06:14 > 0:06:16bag him off too much.
0:06:16 > 0:06:18- Bag him off! - SHE CHUCKLES
0:06:18 > 0:06:19He does know what he's doing.
0:06:19 > 0:06:23- He's not very good with, erm... - Oh, here we go!- ..computer systems.
0:06:23 > 0:06:26Not good with admin, not good with paperwork.
0:06:26 > 0:06:28At home he is very lazy.
0:06:28 > 0:06:30Refuses to do any housework.
0:06:30 > 0:06:32Can be a little bit moody.
0:06:33 > 0:06:36- A little bit irritating. - That's cos I live with you!
0:06:37 > 0:06:39They're on their way to arrest a teenager
0:06:39 > 0:06:41who's failed to turn up for court.
0:06:41 > 0:06:45He lives in a hamlet 20 miles from Laverton.
0:06:45 > 0:06:49- Have you dealt with him before? - Yeah, he thinks himself a little tough nut.
0:06:49 > 0:06:53There was a call come in that he's smashed, er...
0:06:53 > 0:06:55his parents' house.
0:06:55 > 0:06:56Smashed the walls up or something,
0:06:56 > 0:06:59so he's obviously having a tantrum and lost his temper.
0:06:59 > 0:07:03Erm...and it turns out he's also got a warrant, anyway.
0:07:03 > 0:07:05So he's not turned up for court at some point.
0:07:05 > 0:07:08The community's quite small, so there's a chance we'll...
0:07:08 > 0:07:10We'll see him somewhere out there.
0:07:10 > 0:07:14So we're having to drive about 30Ks out of Laverton
0:07:14 > 0:07:18to one of the small communities called Mount Margaret.
0:07:18 > 0:07:21Er, our radio doesn't work out there, so...
0:07:21 > 0:07:23we found this out when us two went out last time.
0:07:23 > 0:07:27Something similar like this happened, a domestic, bloke who'd beaten his missus,
0:07:27 > 0:07:31and then when we got there he was hiding in the roof.
0:07:31 > 0:07:32She was calling for people.
0:07:32 > 0:07:35We had a foot chase with him, and eventually managed to...
0:07:35 > 0:07:36- I like the "we"!- ..detain him.
0:07:36 > 0:07:38- You what?- Well, I... - HE CHUCKLES
0:07:38 > 0:07:41..started the foot chase with you, and then I commandeered the...
0:07:41 > 0:07:45- Gave up after about 30 seconds. - I commandeered a lift from one of the...
0:07:45 > 0:07:46people in the community.
0:07:47 > 0:07:49So you were running, I was in a car.
0:07:51 > 0:07:52We got him.
0:07:53 > 0:07:56If he does a runner, Kurt knows who'll be doing the chasing.
0:07:59 > 0:08:02Just watch for anyone shooting off, like...
0:08:02 > 0:08:03seeing us and doing one.
0:08:04 > 0:08:06It's too hot to run in...
0:08:06 > 0:08:08Well, you don't run anyway!
0:08:08 > 0:08:10Can I just watch you?
0:08:10 > 0:08:13Give me the car keys and I'll drive, you can run.
0:08:13 > 0:08:14There you go.
0:08:14 > 0:08:16You can't beat having a bull in your front garden.
0:08:16 > 0:08:17SHE LAUGHS
0:08:17 > 0:08:21What the hell is going on? How the hell have they got that in there?
0:08:21 > 0:08:23- He's having a tinkle. - SHE LAUGHS
0:08:25 > 0:08:28There's no-one in at the house of the suspect.
0:08:28 > 0:08:30But the neighbours are happy to help.
0:08:30 > 0:08:33So if there's no green car there, that means they've...
0:08:33 > 0:08:36- They're not there.- They've gone off somewhere.- Yeah, somewhere.
0:08:36 > 0:08:39- They might be at somebody's place. - You don't reckon they've gone out...
0:08:39 > 0:08:42- They wouldn't have gone bush or anything, would they?- Nah. - Hey, is this them?
0:08:42 > 0:08:43There they are, there.
0:08:43 > 0:08:44Lovely.
0:08:44 > 0:08:46The suspect's mum has turned up.
0:08:48 > 0:08:50How you going? All right.
0:08:51 > 0:08:52Where has he gone?
0:08:52 > 0:08:54- He's at his auntie's house, I think. - OK.
0:08:54 > 0:08:56So what has happened today, then?
0:09:01 > 0:09:04Is he drinking or sniffing or anything? No? OK.
0:09:04 > 0:09:06Cos obviously we want to go and see him.
0:09:06 > 0:09:08Do you want to come up there with us so you can get us... So you can
0:09:08 > 0:09:12ask her to let us in the house in case he doesn't want to come out?
0:09:13 > 0:09:15That'll be the easiest way, yeah.
0:09:15 > 0:09:18All right. Cos you do know that he's going to come away with us, don't you?
0:09:18 > 0:09:22- Cos he's got a warrant, so we'll be taking him away cos of that, cos he's not gone to court.- Yeah.
0:09:22 > 0:09:24So he'll get that dealt with today.
0:09:24 > 0:09:26Do you want to report the other damage,
0:09:26 > 0:09:28or do you want to leave it as him just going away for the warrant?
0:09:30 > 0:09:32Yeah? OK. All right, then.
0:09:33 > 0:09:36Now what's that, when... Is he likely to try and run away when we get up there?
0:09:36 > 0:09:39All right, no, I just want to get ready
0:09:39 > 0:09:42if I need to take me belt off and sprint after him.
0:09:46 > 0:09:50His mum has told them where he is, but he may not come quietly,
0:09:50 > 0:09:53and with backup at least an hour away,
0:09:53 > 0:09:55they need to be prepared for anything.
0:10:12 > 0:10:14On a rural motocross circuit,
0:10:14 > 0:10:19a teenage biker is about to undergo surgery in this shed.
0:10:19 > 0:10:21He came off on a jump and punctured a lung.
0:10:25 > 0:10:29British flying doctor Chris Cheeseman is making an incision
0:10:29 > 0:10:31in the side of 16-year-old Mitchell's chest.
0:10:34 > 0:10:37He's already anaesthetised the young rider.
0:10:37 > 0:10:40It's just... has a little bit of extra security.
0:10:40 > 0:10:43Draining blood and fluid that is crushing Mitchell's lungs
0:10:43 > 0:10:45will help his breathing.
0:10:45 > 0:10:48Yeah, he'll be nice and... He'll be nice and sleepy.
0:10:48 > 0:10:51So we've got good access, his head, his airway's OK.
0:10:51 > 0:10:56But Dr Chris also suspects more blood loss in his abdomen.
0:10:56 > 0:10:57It could kill him.
0:10:59 > 0:11:02He's certainly got a punctured lung.
0:11:02 > 0:11:05Erm...we could feel that even without our ultrasound.
0:11:05 > 0:11:07He had some air bubbling inside his chest.
0:11:07 > 0:11:09Lift, lift, lift.
0:11:09 > 0:11:12I'd say he's probably got, er... broken ribs as well.
0:11:12 > 0:11:14And I'm worried about his abdomen, as well.
0:11:14 > 0:11:16I think there's bleeding inside of his abdomen.
0:11:16 > 0:11:22Mitchell's in critical condition and hospital in Sydney is 40 miles away.
0:11:22 > 0:11:24By air, that's 20 minutes.
0:11:24 > 0:11:26But if their young patient deteriorates,
0:11:26 > 0:11:30the team knows it will be easier to treat him on the road.
0:11:30 > 0:11:34With loading him onto the aircraft and flying him and everything else,
0:11:34 > 0:11:36it works out roughly about the same time,
0:11:36 > 0:11:39so they may as well just have to... with the chest drain being in
0:11:39 > 0:11:41and everything else, just have the stability
0:11:41 > 0:11:44of being in the back of an ambo instead of the back of a chopper.
0:11:44 > 0:11:46Er...
0:11:46 > 0:11:47So you've got the drugs, got the blood.
0:11:47 > 0:11:49SIREN WAILS
0:11:49 > 0:11:53This journey will take half an hour or more.
0:11:53 > 0:11:55Hey, Mitchell, how you doing?
0:11:58 > 0:12:00But there's a problem.
0:12:00 > 0:12:02Mitchell's blood pressure has crashed.
0:12:03 > 0:12:05Is that a real blood pressure, do you think?
0:12:05 > 0:12:06I'm doing it one more time.
0:12:08 > 0:12:10If you're not happy, just feel the radial whilst...
0:12:10 > 0:12:11Whilst we're going.
0:12:14 > 0:12:17Dr Chris suspects his internal bleeding is getting worse.
0:12:17 > 0:12:20- Yeah, so he's got a diminished cap refill there.- Yeah.
0:12:20 > 0:12:26He needs a transfusion immediately, or his life may be in danger.
0:12:26 > 0:12:30- Yeah, you pass the code three, and I'll do the blood. - Yeah, OK, righto.
0:12:30 > 0:12:31HE SIGHS
0:12:34 > 0:12:36B negative.
0:12:36 > 0:12:42Er... Date 28th of October 2015, expiry date 9th of December 2015.
0:12:42 > 0:12:44Thank you.
0:12:44 > 0:12:48Trauma surgeons at the Liverpool Hospital are being put on standby.
0:12:49 > 0:12:53Liverpool, we are just about to commence a blood transfusion,
0:12:53 > 0:12:57and we will be with you in approximately 15 minutes.
0:13:02 > 0:13:06- So it has an expiry, 11-2017. - Thank you.
0:13:07 > 0:13:11Let's get a bit more tape on there to, erm...so we don't lose that.
0:13:11 > 0:13:15Dr Chris is injecting a drug to help Mitchell's blood clot.
0:13:15 > 0:13:17It'll help stem the bleeding.
0:13:19 > 0:13:21TX 80's going in now, mate.
0:13:23 > 0:13:25Well, that's worked well, that's OK.
0:13:27 > 0:13:29Hey, Mitchell, how you doing, eh?
0:13:29 > 0:13:31Mitchell?
0:13:31 > 0:13:32Hey, mate, how you doing?
0:13:32 > 0:13:34Poke your tongue out for me.
0:13:34 > 0:13:36Mitchell, poke your tongue out.
0:13:37 > 0:13:40Mitchell is now minutes from hospital.
0:13:40 > 0:13:42He needs emergency surgery.
0:13:42 > 0:13:44So he's got some fluid in his abdomen,
0:13:44 > 0:13:49so what I mentioned to you about the possibility of him bleeding
0:13:49 > 0:13:52into his tummy seems to be the case, OK, that's what I'm worried about.
0:13:52 > 0:13:56We had a couple of low blood pressures, so...
0:13:56 > 0:13:57I'm assuming that he's...
0:13:57 > 0:14:00That's because he's losing blood into his abdomen, OK?
0:14:00 > 0:14:03This is why we're giving him a blood transfusion here, OK?
0:14:03 > 0:14:08And it turned out Mitchell was lucky to survive his accident.
0:14:08 > 0:14:10Over several days in hospital in Sydney,
0:14:10 > 0:14:13surgeons were forced to remove his spleen,
0:14:13 > 0:14:16and he will be on antibiotics for three years.
0:14:16 > 0:14:19Eventually, he makes a full recovery.
0:14:19 > 0:14:22He hopes to be back in the saddle soon.
0:14:33 > 0:14:38In an outback hamlet 500 miles from Perth in Western Australia,
0:14:38 > 0:14:41British police officers Kurt and Sarah are on their way
0:14:41 > 0:14:44to arrest a teenage suspect.
0:14:44 > 0:14:46He's failed to turn up for court,
0:14:46 > 0:14:48and he's just smashed up his mum's house.
0:14:48 > 0:14:50She's told the police where he is.
0:14:50 > 0:14:52She's telling us now he's in the auntie's house,
0:14:52 > 0:14:55so I've said to her it's better if she comes up with us.
0:14:55 > 0:14:58Erm...to see if he wants to, you know...come,
0:14:58 > 0:15:02or if the... If the auntie doesn't want to let us in, she can...
0:15:02 > 0:15:04ask the auntie to let us in.
0:15:04 > 0:15:07And then obviously I'm going to be there in case he plays up
0:15:07 > 0:15:09or if he decides to run off when he sees the police,
0:15:09 > 0:15:10which is a possibility.
0:15:15 > 0:15:18The teenager is inside.
0:15:18 > 0:15:20Kurt's keeping it low-key.
0:15:25 > 0:15:27Yeah, he's here. How you going?
0:15:27 > 0:15:31You know you've got a warrant, don't you, so you've not been turning up for court, all right?
0:15:31 > 0:15:32What's been going on with earlier on?
0:15:32 > 0:15:35Do you want to talk about it or not? No?
0:15:35 > 0:15:37Look, it's your mum, OK? Your mum's told us about it.
0:15:37 > 0:15:41But your mum's... You know, she doesn't want all this sort of stress, but she's...
0:15:41 > 0:15:43She doesn't want anything done about what's happened, all right?
0:15:43 > 0:15:46But you obviously know you can't do that sort of stuff, all right?
0:15:46 > 0:15:48He's in there - we're just going to bring him out now.
0:15:48 > 0:15:51I'm just going to open the back of the car.
0:15:52 > 0:15:55The suspect's accused of burglary and theft,
0:15:55 > 0:15:58but the police are concerned for his wellbeing.
0:15:58 > 0:15:59He seems depressed.
0:15:59 > 0:16:02Have you been drinking anything?
0:16:02 > 0:16:03Any drugs or anything, no?
0:16:03 > 0:16:05He's quite calm, erm...
0:16:05 > 0:16:08Looks a little bit fed up, really.
0:16:08 > 0:16:10But, yeah, he knows what's happening.
0:16:10 > 0:16:12He knows that we're going to bring him in,
0:16:12 > 0:16:15try and get him put before the court this afternoon.
0:16:16 > 0:16:19You look fed up, mate - what's the matter?
0:16:19 > 0:16:23You been having any problems out here, any issues or anything?
0:16:23 > 0:16:25Don't want to talk to us?
0:16:27 > 0:16:30No issues at all. Erm, I got in the house quite quick cos he's a young lad, he's...
0:16:30 > 0:16:33He's known to run, he's... but the mum was talking to him, he was fine,
0:16:33 > 0:16:36he was calm when we got in the house. So he's fine with that.
0:16:36 > 0:16:38He just seems a little bit down, that's all, so...
0:16:38 > 0:16:41it might've been doing him a favour, getting him out of the community for a few hours,
0:16:41 > 0:16:45and, you know, he'll get his problems sorted out, get the issues sorted out.
0:16:46 > 0:16:51Kurt and Sarah sympathise with young people growing up in the outback.
0:16:51 > 0:16:54I'm not being a soft touch, but there's definitely,
0:16:54 > 0:16:57definitely underlying reasons, you know, why they're doing it.
0:16:57 > 0:16:59It's...you know, the...
0:16:59 > 0:17:02- A lot of it's to do with boredom as well.- Boredom.
0:17:02 > 0:17:05- It's pretty sad, innit, with some of the kids out here, cos they're not...- Yeah.
0:17:05 > 0:17:10They're just not bad kids. They've just got no real parental guidance or support,
0:17:10 > 0:17:13no direction, no role models.
0:17:13 > 0:17:16And as she said, they're just bored. I mean, it's just a...
0:17:16 > 0:17:18They're in the middle of a desert, there's nothing to do.
0:17:18 > 0:17:22It's a vicious cycle of, you know...
0:17:22 > 0:17:24Their boredom gets them into substances,
0:17:24 > 0:17:27paint and, you know, alcohol.
0:17:27 > 0:17:30Then they obviously have no way of working or earning money
0:17:30 > 0:17:32when they've dropped out of the school system,
0:17:32 > 0:17:35so they break into houses for that sort of stuff.
0:17:37 > 0:17:40They want to avoid locking up the teenager overnight.
0:17:42 > 0:17:44Laverton mobile to Laverton base.
0:17:46 > 0:17:49'Yeah, base receiving.'
0:17:49 > 0:17:53Would somebody be able to give the court a call so that we can try
0:17:53 > 0:17:57and get him listed this afternoon so we don't have to keep him overnight?
0:17:57 > 0:18:00- 'Yeah, Roger, we'll give them a call now.'- Yeah, cheers, thanks.
0:18:04 > 0:18:06Ohh!
0:18:06 > 0:18:07Jump out.
0:18:08 > 0:18:12The teenager will be held until he can appear before a magistrate
0:18:12 > 0:18:14on closed-circuit television.
0:18:18 > 0:18:19DOOR SLAMS
0:18:19 > 0:18:23What do you want to do - do you want to sit in the cell or do you want to sit outside? It's up to you.
0:18:23 > 0:18:26It's warm, but... You want to sit outside for a bit? OK.
0:18:26 > 0:18:30We've got... You can see our cell area, but cos a lot of people don't like being confined in there,
0:18:30 > 0:18:34what we've got here is an outside... Like an exercise yard so they can sit in the exercise yard.
0:18:34 > 0:18:39It's all monitored on the CCTV. Erm...so it just gives them a bit of fresh air to sit outside.
0:18:39 > 0:18:42So I've put him outside, just giving him some water.
0:18:42 > 0:18:45Do you want something to eat in a bit, yeah? Get you a... Do you want a pie?
0:18:46 > 0:18:48- Eh?- Yes, please.
0:18:48 > 0:18:49Yeah, a pie, yeah? All right, cool.
0:18:49 > 0:18:51See you in a minute.
0:18:51 > 0:18:54I'm just waiting for the court to give us a call back
0:18:54 > 0:18:57to say that they're ready to hear the matter.
0:18:57 > 0:19:00Erm...hopefully it should be in the next few minutes, and then once
0:19:00 > 0:19:04they call, I can get him through and put him on videolink.
0:19:08 > 0:19:09- They're ready?- Yeah.
0:19:09 > 0:19:15At last, the magistrate is on the line from a court 250 miles away.
0:19:15 > 0:19:19'Hi, Laverton. I'm just connecting through to Kalgoorlie,
0:19:19 > 0:19:22'and then the magistrate will come in.'
0:19:22 > 0:19:24OK, thank you.
0:19:33 > 0:19:35The teenager is given another chance.
0:19:35 > 0:19:39He can go home, but if he fails to turn up for court next time,
0:19:39 > 0:19:42he's off to detention.
0:19:42 > 0:19:44In Laverton, the people here are so much more respectful.
0:19:44 > 0:19:46They know we've got a job to do.
0:19:46 > 0:19:50Erm, they know if they make mistakes sometimes, a crime's committed or...
0:19:50 > 0:19:53They understand when we come and do our job, and it's all very amicable.
0:19:53 > 0:19:55Occasionally there's alcohol involved,
0:19:55 > 0:19:58and people behave differently, but as soon as it's out of their system,
0:19:58 > 0:20:02we meet up the next day, you know, there's no... There's never any bad feeling.
0:20:02 > 0:20:05It's a really good working relationship with the people here.
0:20:05 > 0:20:06It's so much better than the UK.
0:20:06 > 0:20:10You know, it does make work, coming to work, a hell of a lot easier.
0:20:25 > 0:20:28'Nick Larusso here with an M4 breakdown.'
0:20:28 > 0:20:31'James Ruse Drive westbound, we've got Sydney-bound traffic
0:20:31 > 0:20:34'very slow going now from the Cumberland Highway.'
0:20:34 > 0:20:39It's rush hour, and the traffic into Australia's biggest city
0:20:39 > 0:20:40is about to become a problem
0:20:40 > 0:20:44for Scottish flying doctor Caroline Macari.
0:20:44 > 0:20:46She's on her way to rescue a patient
0:20:46 > 0:20:48with a rare but terrifying heart condition.
0:20:48 > 0:20:52INDISTINCT RADIO CHATTER
0:20:54 > 0:20:5620 miles away in the suburb of Nepean,
0:20:56 > 0:20:59nine-year-old Caleb is under observation
0:20:59 > 0:21:02after his heart stopped beating without warning.
0:21:02 > 0:21:05It only restarted after he suffered a seizure.
0:21:05 > 0:21:07What we're heading to is a nine-year-old boy
0:21:07 > 0:21:10in a hospital out by the Blue Mountains.
0:21:10 > 0:21:12He has a thing called complete heart block,
0:21:12 > 0:21:16which means the electricity is not really working in his heart,
0:21:16 > 0:21:19and it's causing his heart to go much slower than it should be going.
0:21:19 > 0:21:21So, erm...
0:21:21 > 0:21:23obviously, that can be very dangerous
0:21:23 > 0:21:25if his blood pressure drops.
0:21:25 > 0:21:27It can cause you to pass out.
0:21:27 > 0:21:29The reason we're going is that we're going to go and get him
0:21:29 > 0:21:32to take him to the paediatric specialist hospital
0:21:32 > 0:21:34where they'll have heart specialists
0:21:34 > 0:21:35that can help deal with this problem.
0:21:35 > 0:21:37OK.
0:21:39 > 0:21:42You've had a bad day, I hear.
0:21:42 > 0:21:45- SHE CHUCKLES - I'm Caroline, I'm a doctor
0:21:45 > 0:21:48that's come to take you to another hospital.
0:21:48 > 0:21:51Do you feel unwell at all just now?
0:21:51 > 0:21:53No.
0:21:53 > 0:21:56Can you feel it when your heart goes funny?
0:21:56 > 0:21:58Do you feel a bit yuck? Yeah.
0:21:58 > 0:22:01His family are understandably concerned.
0:22:01 > 0:22:04Caleb's had seizures, a series of seizures,
0:22:04 > 0:22:06and this morning he had one early on,
0:22:06 > 0:22:08so we brought him down in an ambulance
0:22:08 > 0:22:10to try to see what was going on.
0:22:11 > 0:22:13The big white sticker on his chest
0:22:13 > 0:22:16will allow doctors to shock his heart back into rhythm
0:22:16 > 0:22:17if it happens again.
0:22:17 > 0:22:21He experiences nausea, will vomit,
0:22:21 > 0:22:24and then he will become quite lethargic, drowsy,
0:22:24 > 0:22:28and on a couple of occasions seems to have lost consciousness
0:22:28 > 0:22:30and then progressed into a seizure.
0:22:30 > 0:22:32OK, A little... OK, right.
0:22:32 > 0:22:35And there's nothing funny that's happened in the past few days,
0:22:35 > 0:22:38you haven't had anything funny like taken any little tablets that
0:22:38 > 0:22:40you found or anything like that?
0:22:40 > 0:22:43No? And there's nothing at home that...
0:22:43 > 0:22:48Dr Caroline's bedside manner is reassuring Caleb and his family.
0:22:48 > 0:22:50- There's the heart block.- Yeah.
0:22:50 > 0:22:53- First degree heart block with a normal QT. - So that's his baseline.
0:22:53 > 0:22:56So I guess it must just be something he's potentially always had,
0:22:56 > 0:22:59- and it's just come out today a bit more so.- Yeah.
0:22:59 > 0:23:01But it's good that they've caught it, finally, isn't it?
0:23:01 > 0:23:05So what we'll do is just have a quick look at you. Make sure everything looks OK.
0:23:05 > 0:23:08These guys have done a brilliant job so far, done everything perfectly,
0:23:08 > 0:23:10but we'll just make sure everything's fine.
0:23:10 > 0:23:13Now I'm going to have a listen with my horribly cold stethoscope.
0:23:15 > 0:23:18Caroline's job is to monitor Caleb during his transfer,
0:23:18 > 0:23:21and restart his heart if necessary.
0:23:21 > 0:23:23Mmm, so what are we doing just now?
0:23:23 > 0:23:26Your heart's perfect right now, isn't it?
0:23:26 > 0:23:30Everything's perfect right now, but that's the problem is that he's perfect in the meantime,
0:23:30 > 0:23:34and then he just suddenly will have an episode where that pulse just drops away.
0:23:34 > 0:23:37We obviously don't want this to carry on.
0:23:37 > 0:23:39He's doing really well just now, but the more it happens,
0:23:39 > 0:23:42then you can imagine he'll feel more and more unwell with it.
0:23:42 > 0:23:46And so when they get there, they'll fully discuss the options,
0:23:46 > 0:23:49but it most likely is that they'll try this infusion,
0:23:49 > 0:23:52if that stops things happening, then they have a bit of time
0:23:52 > 0:23:54to sort of think about what the next step is.
0:23:54 > 0:23:55But if that doesn't help,
0:23:55 > 0:23:59they'll probably end up having to look at a thing called pacing.
0:23:59 > 0:24:02- You might have heart of old people that have pacemakers in.- Yeah.
0:24:02 > 0:24:05Well, they can do a more temporary form in people that's...
0:24:05 > 0:24:07Just to try and figure out what's happening,
0:24:07 > 0:24:11if this is something that is just going to resolve itself or, etc...
0:24:11 > 0:24:14They just can do a different type in the meantime, just to bide him
0:24:14 > 0:24:18over this time while they decide what the outcome needs to be.
0:24:21 > 0:24:24If Caleb's heart stops again in the back of the ambulance,
0:24:24 > 0:24:27Dr Caroline will have seconds to react.
0:24:33 > 0:24:35Very expensive bed.
0:24:35 > 0:24:38The most expensive bed you'll ever lie in!
0:24:38 > 0:24:42The journey should take 30 minutes, depending on traffic.
0:24:42 > 0:24:46He's had about five-plus episodes today where he suddenly vomits.
0:24:46 > 0:24:49And the electricity pretty much stops going through the heart
0:24:49 > 0:24:51for quite a prolonged period.
0:24:51 > 0:24:53In that time he had a little seizure,
0:24:53 > 0:24:56which is basically that not enough blood's getting to his brain.
0:24:56 > 0:24:59And then it all kicks back into action again.
0:24:59 > 0:25:02Caleb's been given a drug called atropine.
0:25:02 > 0:25:04It speeds up the heartbeat.
0:25:09 > 0:25:10After 30 minutes on the road,
0:25:10 > 0:25:14destination is the Westmead Children's Hospital in Sydney.
0:25:18 > 0:25:21Caleb spent a week in hospital.
0:25:21 > 0:25:26Doctors discovered his heart problem was caused by a nerve in his chest.
0:25:26 > 0:25:30It could happen again, but he's been well since his release.
0:25:40 > 0:25:44In the spectacular Blue Mountains an hour west of Sydney,
0:25:44 > 0:25:48British vet Lucy King handles the canine emergencies
0:25:48 > 0:25:52at the veterinary clinic in the tourist town of Katoomba.
0:25:52 > 0:25:56British people are renowned for being crazy about their animals,
0:25:56 > 0:25:58and going over and above for everything.
0:25:58 > 0:26:00But a lot of Aussies love their animals too,
0:26:00 > 0:26:03and they'll do a lot for their pets.
0:26:03 > 0:26:05There's still referral centres and specialists and people will
0:26:05 > 0:26:09still pay a lot of money to get their special friend fixed up.
0:26:09 > 0:26:12And today she's examining a mum-to-be.
0:26:12 > 0:26:17When Laya got home, she was really tired and just laying around,
0:26:17 > 0:26:20- and...- Yeah.- ..then about 8 o'clock,
0:26:20 > 0:26:23she was panting and just laying there, really, sort of...
0:26:23 > 0:26:26Laya the Labrador is carrying pups,
0:26:26 > 0:26:29and her worried owners think she's in distress.
0:26:29 > 0:26:31She's been in labour for a little while,
0:26:31 > 0:26:33and it's a long time for a dog to be pushing.
0:26:33 > 0:26:35So although I can't feel anything stuck,
0:26:35 > 0:26:37it could be that something just keeps butting up
0:26:37 > 0:26:40against the pelvic canal and can't actually get in there.
0:26:40 > 0:26:43She's quite a big dog for me to feel as well,
0:26:43 > 0:26:45so I can't feel the entire length of the birth canal.
0:26:45 > 0:26:48- Bye-bye!- Bye, thank you, bye!
0:26:48 > 0:26:51Lucy, who moved down under from Bristol this year,
0:26:51 > 0:26:55has decided Laya should have an emergency caesarean.
0:26:59 > 0:27:00Ooh!
0:27:02 > 0:27:04Ooh!
0:27:04 > 0:27:06- INDISTINCT - Yeah, please.
0:27:07 > 0:27:09These guys are ginormous!
0:27:09 > 0:27:15And in less than five minutes, Lucy delivers two perfect black labs.
0:27:15 > 0:27:16Her job's done,
0:27:16 > 0:27:20but her nurses now need to deliver some canine resuscitation.
0:27:20 > 0:27:24When we get the puppies out of the uterus, we need to rub them.
0:27:24 > 0:27:25It's kind of like CPR -
0:27:25 > 0:27:29because they don't have the usual squeezing out of the birth canal,
0:27:29 > 0:27:32they don't get stimulated to breathe, so we need to stimulate them to breathe.
0:27:32 > 0:27:36And that involves vigorous rubbing, which is quite hard.
0:27:36 > 0:27:39You have to be quite rough with them, and they're these tiny little puppies,
0:27:39 > 0:27:42and you have to rub them quite hard to stimulate them to breathe.
0:27:42 > 0:27:44But once they're going and squeaking,
0:27:44 > 0:27:46you know you've done a good job.
0:27:47 > 0:27:49Ah, girls. They're both girls!
0:27:49 > 0:27:50PUPPIES SQUEAL
0:27:50 > 0:27:54They are noisy, it's a good sign! Hungry little guys.
0:27:58 > 0:28:01It's time for Laya and her pups to meet the family.
0:28:04 > 0:28:06Goodness gracious me!
0:28:06 > 0:28:09There's a lot of baby slobber in there.
0:28:11 > 0:28:14- This little puppy needs to be careful...- They're very... They move around a lot.
0:28:14 > 0:28:16OK, thank you.
