0:00:03 > 0:00:07Hospital beds in the NHS have never been under more pressure.
0:00:08 > 0:00:11It's just unrelenting at the moment.
0:00:11 > 0:00:13With more patients to care for than ever before,
0:00:13 > 0:00:17and only 150,000 beds to go round.
0:00:20 > 0:00:23It is a fast paced job. It's a nonstop conveyor belt.
0:00:24 > 0:00:27In this series, we use special cameras on beds in four
0:00:27 > 0:00:29very different hospitals...
0:00:35 > 0:00:36Comfy bed.
0:00:38 > 0:00:41..to see the world through the bed's eyes...
0:00:41 > 0:00:42Left at the lights.
0:00:43 > 0:00:45..as they share the most challenging...
0:00:46 > 0:00:47Oh, it's coming again.
0:00:49 > 0:00:50Ohhh...
0:00:50 > 0:00:53Don't get upset, we'll look after you, OK?
0:00:55 > 0:00:57Are you OK, pet?
0:00:57 > 0:00:59..most intimate,
0:00:59 > 0:01:03and most rewarding moments of our lives.
0:01:05 > 0:01:06So, so happy.
0:01:09 > 0:01:12Coming up on the hospital beds today,
0:01:12 > 0:01:15in Birmingham, on day surgery bed 81,
0:01:15 > 0:01:2031-year-old Matt faces an important procedure on his amputated leg.
0:01:20 > 0:01:23This is hopefully going to be a bit of a life changer.
0:01:24 > 0:01:26In Leicester, on maternity bed 5,
0:01:26 > 0:01:3126-year-old Keisha struggles to give birth to a big baby.
0:01:31 > 0:01:34Right, you've been pushing now nearly an hour, OK?
0:01:34 > 0:01:37I think it might mean getting the doctors to come down and see you.
0:01:40 > 0:01:42And in Barnsley, on A&E bed 12,
0:01:42 > 0:01:45there's devastating news for 18-year-old Alisha.
0:01:48 > 0:01:50I can't even hug you. Come on.
0:01:54 > 0:01:57Bed's like, an extra member of staff, almost.
0:01:57 > 0:02:00This is the secret life of the hospital bed.
0:02:10 > 0:02:13At Birmingham's Queen Elizabeth Hospital, the day surgery unit's
0:02:13 > 0:02:16medical team can care for up to 100 patients a day.
0:02:19 > 0:02:21It is a fast-paced job, it isn't easy,
0:02:21 > 0:02:24but our patients make it what it is.
0:02:24 > 0:02:26I'm actually petrified on the inside.
0:02:26 > 0:02:28Let me poke you in the ear.
0:02:28 > 0:02:29It will be all right.
0:02:30 > 0:02:32Oh, forget that.
0:02:33 > 0:02:35Ha-ha! I feel like Norah Batty.
0:02:37 > 0:02:40The 81 beds on this ward work 12-hour shifts,
0:02:40 > 0:02:43caring for patients before and after surgery.
0:02:49 > 0:02:53Day surgery bed 81 is on standby for its next patient.
0:02:54 > 0:02:59Former marine, 31-year-old Matt, has come in with his wife Amy.
0:02:59 > 0:03:02Comfy beds. They're actually amazing.
0:03:04 > 0:03:06There's actually cobwebs in this.
0:03:06 > 0:03:08- In these.- Yeah, there is.
0:03:08 > 0:03:10There's actually cobwebs in my slippers!
0:03:12 > 0:03:16I don't know if that conforms with NHS health regulations.
0:03:17 > 0:03:21Matt lost part of his lower leg whilst serving in Afghanistan.
0:03:21 > 0:03:24He's here today for a procedure to make exercising on his
0:03:24 > 0:03:26amputated leg more bearable.
0:03:27 > 0:03:322007 I took a gunshot wound to my ankle in Afghanistan.
0:03:32 > 0:03:37A round went through my ankle and took most of it out the other side,
0:03:37 > 0:03:40and a year later resulted in a below the knee amputation.
0:03:41 > 0:03:44It's still got Christmas decorations on it.
0:03:44 > 0:03:46So, my leg finishes about there,
0:03:46 > 0:03:49and then that's the prosthesis that you get given.
0:03:52 > 0:03:55It's a great bit of kit, you know, we get really well looked after
0:03:55 > 0:03:58so I'm very lucky to get the care that I get, I think.
0:03:58 > 0:04:02I always think about what guys got at the end of World War II compared
0:04:02 > 0:04:05to what we get now, and you've got to be grateful for it, really.
0:04:05 > 0:04:08Matt and wife Amy have been together for seven years.
0:04:09 > 0:04:13I met Matt a year or so after, and actually on a charity bike ride
0:04:13 > 0:04:16for Help For Heroes, so that was about seven years ago.
0:04:16 > 0:04:19- Yeah.- So yeah, I met Matt with a prosthetic so I don't know
0:04:19 > 0:04:21anything else. Didn't know the leg before.
0:04:21 > 0:04:24Yeah, you don't miss it.
0:04:24 > 0:04:26Not like you do!
0:04:26 > 0:04:30We've just cycled from San Diego to southern Florida,
0:04:30 > 0:04:35which was about 3,200 miles over a couple of months.
0:04:35 > 0:04:38Yeah, we obviously enjoy quite a lot of exercise
0:04:38 > 0:04:40- and stuff together... - Amy is a firefighter, so...
0:04:40 > 0:04:42Yeah, I'm a firefighter by trade.
0:04:44 > 0:04:46But the end of Matt's leg sweats excessively,
0:04:46 > 0:04:48making exercise difficult.
0:04:50 > 0:04:54On a hot day, you can literally take the liner that attaches
0:04:54 > 0:04:59your prosthesis to your leg, and you can pour sweat out of it.
0:04:59 > 0:05:00It's quite restrictive.
0:05:00 > 0:05:03Today he's having a special procedure,
0:05:03 > 0:05:05which the couple hope will stop the sweating.
0:05:06 > 0:05:08Staying physical is like...
0:05:08 > 0:05:11especially being ex-military, is quite an important thing,
0:05:11 > 0:05:14so this is hopefully going to be a bit of a life changer.
0:05:14 > 0:05:17It's exciting, but we don't know the outcome yet, obviously.
0:05:17 > 0:05:18This is the first time.
0:05:20 > 0:05:23Specialist registrar Mr Nizar will carry out the operation.
0:05:26 > 0:05:29My name is Bafiq, I work with Colonel Jeffery,
0:05:29 > 0:05:31so Prof Jeffery explained to you what we're doing?
0:05:31 > 0:05:32Yes.
0:05:33 > 0:05:36Matt's having botox injected into his leg,
0:05:36 > 0:05:38which will involve using 250 needles.
0:05:40 > 0:05:44This should stop the sweat glands on the end of his leg from working.
0:05:44 > 0:05:48Is it one injection every square centimetre, something like that?
0:05:48 > 0:05:51Hopefully that will relieve your symptoms. All right?
0:05:51 > 0:05:52Yeah, nice to meet you.
0:05:59 > 0:06:05Nurse Draxlbauer is caring for Matt on the ward today.
0:06:05 > 0:06:06Hello.
0:06:06 > 0:06:07One thing I forgot to do...
0:06:07 > 0:06:09Anyone who's having a general anaesthetic,
0:06:09 > 0:06:11we give them knee-high compression stockings.
0:06:11 > 0:06:13So you get to wear knee-high stockings.
0:06:14 > 0:06:17It's not even the weekend!
0:06:17 > 0:06:18You now have a valid excuse.
0:06:18 > 0:06:20Not again. Not again!
0:06:20 > 0:06:22I'll just measure your ankle.
0:06:22 > 0:06:24You've still got tan marks.
0:06:24 > 0:06:26Have I? I'm a small.
0:06:26 > 0:06:27You are indeed a small.
0:06:27 > 0:06:28Oh!
0:06:28 > 0:06:30You need to get down the gym!
0:06:30 > 0:06:32Chicken legs.
0:06:33 > 0:06:34Chicken leg.
0:06:34 > 0:06:36Oh, yeah, thanks for reminding me(!)
0:06:36 > 0:06:38I'm sorry!
0:06:40 > 0:06:42All right.
0:06:42 > 0:06:44See, it don't get more beautiful than that.
0:06:44 > 0:06:45Wow.
0:06:47 > 0:06:50Matt's pretending that he's never worn tights
0:06:50 > 0:06:52or knee-high stockings before!
0:06:52 > 0:06:55As in... From his royal marine days!
0:06:55 > 0:06:57Standard issue.
0:06:57 > 0:07:00Yeah, and the dress, so it's all kind of...
0:07:00 > 0:07:01Yeah, it's all coming together.
0:07:01 > 0:07:04- And it's green. - Wow, that's actually like...
0:07:05 > 0:07:08No, don't - are you enjoying that?
0:07:08 > 0:07:09I don't know, it feels nice.
0:07:09 > 0:07:10OK!
0:07:12 > 0:07:17It's time for bed 81 to take Matt to the operating theatre.
0:07:17 > 0:07:18We'll rejoin him later
0:07:18 > 0:07:21as he has hundreds of potentially life-changing injections.
0:07:21 > 0:07:24All right, are you ready?
0:07:24 > 0:07:27GTG. Good to go.
0:07:27 > 0:07:30Right, I'll leave all this. See you later.
0:07:30 > 0:07:31See you in a bit.
0:07:31 > 0:07:34Fingers crossed! Sleep well.
0:07:38 > 0:07:40Bye. See you later.
0:07:43 > 0:07:47I know that it'll be a huge life changer.
0:07:47 > 0:07:50He's dealt with so many other sort of crazy stuff going on
0:07:50 > 0:07:53in his life that we just sort of go with the flow
0:07:53 > 0:07:56and fingers crossed, really, and we'll see him on the other side.
0:08:09 > 0:08:10At Leeds Children's Hospital,
0:08:10 > 0:08:15the day surgery unit's 26 beds meet up to 140 children every week.
0:08:23 > 0:08:26These beds are with children and parents both before,
0:08:26 > 0:08:27and after surgery.
0:08:33 > 0:08:37Today paediatric bed 3 is on standby for its next patient.
0:08:39 > 0:08:40Just in this bed here.
0:08:44 > 0:08:46Thank you.
0:08:46 > 0:08:50Six-year-old Eve has come in for an MRI scan on her brain
0:08:50 > 0:08:53to check a tumour that's been removed hasn't grown back.
0:08:55 > 0:08:56What colour are you going to do her?
0:08:56 > 0:08:58Blue.
0:08:58 > 0:08:59Blue.
0:08:59 > 0:09:04Shall I carry on? Do it really neat colouring.
0:09:04 > 0:09:06Oh, I did it out the lines!
0:09:06 > 0:09:08It's all right, we're going to cut it out, aren't we?
0:09:08 > 0:09:12She's here with parents Philippa and Lee.
0:09:12 > 0:09:14What other letters have we got?
0:09:14 > 0:09:16That can be three zig zags.
0:09:16 > 0:09:18- Three zig zags?- Can I colour that?
0:09:18 > 0:09:19Of course you can.
0:09:21 > 0:09:25When she first had her surgery, we just told her she had monkey brains,
0:09:25 > 0:09:29so they were getting rid of the monkeys in her brain.
0:09:29 > 0:09:33She's been our strength, she's just marched through it,
0:09:33 > 0:09:34just absolutely marched through it.
0:09:36 > 0:09:37Yeah.
0:09:37 > 0:09:41After her surgery, Eve needed chemotherapy.
0:09:41 > 0:09:44She had real long Rapunzel hair.
0:09:44 > 0:09:48The end of that first week, it fell out, it was that quick.
0:09:48 > 0:09:51I was so upset when she lost her hair,
0:09:51 > 0:09:54I didn't want her to feel lonely and isolated having no hair,
0:09:54 > 0:09:56so I did mine.
0:09:57 > 0:10:01For the MRI scan today, Eve needs a general anaesthetic
0:10:01 > 0:10:04to make sure she stays completely still.
0:10:04 > 0:10:06Whereabouts are they going to scan you? Do you know?
0:10:06 > 0:10:10For my eyes to get better.
0:10:10 > 0:10:14For your eyes to get better, yeah, that's right.
0:10:14 > 0:10:15And what are you going in?
0:10:15 > 0:10:19- You're going in a machine, aren't you?- Spaceship.- Spaceship.
0:10:19 > 0:10:23And are you going to be awake or asleep when you go in the spaceship?
0:10:23 > 0:10:25Awake.
0:10:25 > 0:10:27Awake? You're not, you're going to be asleep.
0:10:27 > 0:10:30I'm going to be awake!
0:10:31 > 0:10:33OK?
0:10:33 > 0:10:34All right then.
0:10:35 > 0:10:38Dr Elliott is treating Eve.
0:10:38 > 0:10:41Eve's having the MRI scan today to essentially check
0:10:41 > 0:10:45that there's no evidence of the tumour growing back.
0:10:45 > 0:10:47So it's really important that we know we've got
0:10:47 > 0:10:49a good control of the tumour.
0:10:49 > 0:10:52More than 80 MRI scans are carried out
0:10:52 > 0:10:54at Leeds Children's Hospital every week.
0:10:56 > 0:10:59Later, we'll rejoin Eve and bed 3...
0:10:59 > 0:11:02HE SNORES
0:11:02 > 0:11:04..as she has this important MRI scan.
0:11:16 > 0:11:20In Leicester, the Royal Infirmary's maternity unit delivers
0:11:20 > 0:11:22almost 6,000 babies a year.
0:11:26 > 0:11:29Fantastic, congratulations!
0:11:30 > 0:11:31Well done.
0:11:33 > 0:11:37Its 16 maternity beds are with mums as they give birth.
0:11:42 > 0:11:44But with the average labour lasting eight hours,
0:11:44 > 0:11:49at times there just aren't enough beds for expectant mums.
0:11:49 > 0:11:50Hello, it's the delivery suite.
0:11:50 > 0:11:51She's mobilising now...
0:11:53 > 0:11:56Ward manager Douglas is in charge of the beds today.
0:11:56 > 0:11:58We've got no beds on the wards at the moment,
0:11:58 > 0:12:01so what we will be planning to do is get discharges through as quick as
0:12:01 > 0:12:04we possibly can to free up some space in the hospital.
0:12:07 > 0:12:09Do you want to pop up onto this bed?
0:12:09 > 0:12:15Maternity bed 5 is freed up just in time for 26-year-old Keisha,
0:12:15 > 0:12:18who's in an advanced stage of labour with her second child.
0:12:18 > 0:12:21Can I just get you to move up the bed a little bit, sweetheart,
0:12:21 > 0:12:23just so that I can have a feel of your tummy?
0:12:23 > 0:12:27Midwife Hewitt has been assigned to look after Keisha.
0:12:27 > 0:12:30Pain-wise, I've offered her the Entonox, brilliant pain relief,
0:12:30 > 0:12:33she's used it in her last pregnancy and her last labour.
0:12:34 > 0:12:36OK, lift your head. Just go with it.
0:12:36 > 0:12:38MUFFLED SPEECH
0:12:38 > 0:12:42Put the blue bit back on that hole! Quick! Go for it!
0:12:49 > 0:12:51Today Keisha has her gran Sheila,
0:12:51 > 0:12:53and sister Shannon with her for support.
0:12:54 > 0:12:58She's four days over, so her waters broke this morning.
0:12:58 > 0:13:00We came this morning and were sent back home.
0:13:00 > 0:13:04I'm OK, I'm thirsty, but I'm OK.
0:13:04 > 0:13:06Can you move that cup, please?
0:13:12 > 0:13:15You're doing fab because you're fully dilated.
0:13:15 > 0:13:17Ohhh! Ow!
0:13:17 > 0:13:20Keisha's first baby was larger than average,
0:13:20 > 0:13:23and she needed help with the delivery.
0:13:25 > 0:13:28Amari was 8lb 13oz, which is quite big for a first baby, I'm told,
0:13:28 > 0:13:32so I had to have a ventouse delivery, where they cut you and
0:13:32 > 0:13:36attach, like, a suction to the back of the head to help you deliver.
0:13:37 > 0:13:41And her second baby is predicted to be even bigger.
0:13:41 > 0:13:43Women giving birth to large babies face
0:13:43 > 0:13:45a greater risk of complications.
0:13:45 > 0:13:50The baby's shoulder is more likely to get stuck during delivery.
0:13:50 > 0:13:53I knew he was going to be big from day one, to be fair,
0:13:53 > 0:13:57because he was always off the charts on the scans and things like that.
0:13:57 > 0:14:01Keisha seems to struggle when she's passing the baby.
0:14:01 > 0:14:03It's just the head, you know.
0:14:03 > 0:14:07She's OK with the rest, but it's just the head,
0:14:07 > 0:14:11so I think she'd be more calm and comfortable
0:14:11 > 0:14:13if somebody gives her some help.
0:14:13 > 0:14:17More women than ever in the UK are giving birth to babies
0:14:17 > 0:14:19weighing 10 pounds or more.
0:14:19 > 0:14:21They said that you had trouble getting your baby out with
0:14:21 > 0:14:24your last labour, is that right?
0:14:24 > 0:14:26The head, yeah, yeah.
0:14:26 > 0:14:30So we think that you're not suitable for the birth centre.
0:14:30 > 0:14:31OK.
0:14:31 > 0:14:33So we need to get you down to delivery suite.
0:14:35 > 0:14:38Maternity bed 5 and Keisha need to be moved
0:14:38 > 0:14:40to a room in the delivery unit.
0:14:40 > 0:14:43There, specialist doctors are on hand with equipment to deal
0:14:43 > 0:14:44with any complications.
0:14:46 > 0:14:49She's got quite a significant amount of water around baby.
0:14:49 > 0:14:51Baby feels quite big too, and like she said before,
0:14:51 > 0:14:54her last baby was quite big, and she said she had a bit of a problem
0:14:54 > 0:14:56delivering before.
0:14:56 > 0:14:58Now, we're just getting the notes reviewed.
0:14:58 > 0:15:00Change of plan, we're staying here.
0:15:00 > 0:15:01OK.
0:15:01 > 0:15:03We'll pop you on the monitor here.
0:15:03 > 0:15:05The delivery unit is full.
0:15:06 > 0:15:08This is more of a high-risk situation now,
0:15:08 > 0:15:10this woman should be on the delivery suite.
0:15:10 > 0:15:13At the moment there isn't room and there's not the midwife there
0:15:13 > 0:15:16to care for her, so I'm now with Keisha all the time.
0:15:16 > 0:15:20For now, maternity bed 5 and Keisha will have to stay
0:15:20 > 0:15:22in the birth centre.
0:15:22 > 0:15:24We'll return to her later as she goes through the final stages
0:15:24 > 0:15:26of this high-risk delivery.
0:15:38 > 0:15:42Back in Birmingham, at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital,
0:15:42 > 0:15:45Bed 81 is taking ex-marine Matt to theatre.
0:15:47 > 0:15:50He's having 250 botox injections into his leg
0:15:50 > 0:15:53to stop his amputation from sweating excessively.
0:15:57 > 0:15:59Right then, so this is the anaesthetic room,
0:15:59 > 0:16:02and what I'm going to do first is attach you to our monitors
0:16:02 > 0:16:03if that's all right.
0:16:03 > 0:16:04Yep.
0:16:04 > 0:16:07It's the fourth procedure Matt's had to have,
0:16:07 > 0:16:09since he was wounded in Afghanistan.
0:16:09 > 0:16:11Oh, it's you two again.
0:16:11 > 0:16:16Surgeon Lieutenant Colonel Professor Jeffery is overseeing the procedure.
0:16:17 > 0:16:19Morning.
0:16:19 > 0:16:21- Hello there. How are you getting on? - I'm good, how are you?
0:16:21 > 0:16:22- Fine, thanks. - Nice to see you again.
0:16:22 > 0:16:25It hasn't changed since last time I saw you, has it?
0:16:25 > 0:16:26- No.- OK. Do you know what's happening?
0:16:26 > 0:16:28- Yes.- OK, very good.
0:16:28 > 0:16:30See you later.
0:16:30 > 0:16:33Matt's wife Amy is waiting in the empty bay.
0:16:34 > 0:16:37The stump in itself is very, very sensitive anyway on the skin,
0:16:37 > 0:16:42so having needles placed into that area,
0:16:42 > 0:16:45I imagine is quite a bit of a scary prospect.
0:16:48 > 0:16:49I love this bit.
0:16:50 > 0:16:52The going under part, yeah.
0:16:52 > 0:16:54There's nothing better than falling asleep.
0:16:56 > 0:16:59The operation will take around an hour.
0:17:00 > 0:17:04Fingers crossed this is a success. See him on the other side.
0:17:06 > 0:17:08Think of something nice and pleasant.
0:17:08 > 0:17:11I'm going to take good care of you, sir, OK?
0:17:11 > 0:17:14Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah.
0:17:16 > 0:17:21With Matt sedated, the medical team prepare his leg for the injections.
0:17:21 > 0:17:24People are more familiar with botox being used in the cosmetic industry
0:17:24 > 0:17:29because it paralyses muscles, but it also paralyses your sweat glands,
0:17:29 > 0:17:31so we're utilising that in this chap today.
0:17:34 > 0:17:40So we want 25mls, 0.1ml in each square.
0:17:41 > 0:17:46It will only last six months and then he'll have to have it repeated.
0:17:46 > 0:17:48If you've had it repeated several times,
0:17:48 > 0:17:51often the effect will then persist.
0:17:53 > 0:17:56He won't ever complain or moan about the situation he's in,
0:17:56 > 0:18:00it's testament to all the lads, especially in the marines.
0:18:00 > 0:18:01I mean, I've met some of his friends,
0:18:01 > 0:18:03they all have that kind of attitude.
0:18:03 > 0:18:06It will be a massive step forward if this does help
0:18:06 > 0:18:09and we can possibly go running together.
0:18:10 > 0:18:13We want him to have as normal a life as possible,
0:18:13 > 0:18:15and this is going to hopefully be part of that.
0:18:18 > 0:18:21You want to inject it into the skin,
0:18:21 > 0:18:24and then obviously, you're putting in your 0.1 of a ml.
0:18:25 > 0:18:27There you go.
0:18:30 > 0:18:33Later, we return to bed 81 and Matt,
0:18:33 > 0:18:37as he's reunited with his wife after this life-changing procedure.
0:18:50 > 0:18:54Coming up on The Secret Life of the Hospital Bed -
0:18:54 > 0:18:59in Leeds, on paediatric bed 3, Eve faces a crucial MRI scan.
0:18:59 > 0:19:01And Helen wants to take you downstairs
0:19:01 > 0:19:03so we can take some special pictures.
0:19:03 > 0:19:05Is it the space ship?
0:19:05 > 0:19:06Yeah.
0:19:06 > 0:19:07It is, yeah.
0:19:07 > 0:19:10In Leicester, on maternity bed 5,
0:19:10 > 0:19:14the pressure is on for Keisha to push her big baby out.
0:19:14 > 0:19:17Oh, it's coming again!
0:19:17 > 0:19:19Ohhhh!
0:19:19 > 0:19:22And in Barnsley, on A&E bed 12,
0:19:22 > 0:19:2618-year-old Alisha sustains multiple injuries
0:19:26 > 0:19:28after coming off a motorbike.
0:19:28 > 0:19:31- Can you feel me touching your little fingers?- Yes!
0:19:39 > 0:19:42Back at Leeds Children's Hospital, on the day surgery ward,
0:19:42 > 0:19:45paediatric bed 3 has been looking after six-year-old Eve
0:19:45 > 0:19:46for three hours now.
0:19:48 > 0:19:51What do you like to do when you're in hospital?
0:19:51 > 0:19:53Go home.
0:19:55 > 0:19:56That's what I like to do.
0:19:56 > 0:19:59What other things do you do? We watch some DVDs, don't we?
0:19:59 > 0:20:01Go home. Yeah, go home.
0:20:01 > 0:20:03It's boring.
0:20:04 > 0:20:07Eve's here for an MRI scan on her brain to check a tumour
0:20:07 > 0:20:10she's had surgically removed isn't starting to grow back.
0:20:11 > 0:20:15Sister Nuttall has been caring for Eve on the ward.
0:20:15 > 0:20:17Eve, hello.
0:20:17 > 0:20:21This is my friend Helen, and Helen wants to take you downstairs
0:20:21 > 0:20:23so we can take some special pictures.
0:20:23 > 0:20:24Do you think that'd be OK?
0:20:24 > 0:20:26- Are you ready? - Is it the space ship?
0:20:26 > 0:20:28- Yeah.- It is, yeah.
0:20:28 > 0:20:30Ha, mine's bigger than yours!
0:20:30 > 0:20:34Oh! You won! Somebody's been doing good building, eh?
0:20:34 > 0:20:35Come on then.
0:20:35 > 0:20:39Eve must now leave the comfort of paediatric bed 3,
0:20:39 > 0:20:41for the more mobile surgical bed 6.
0:20:44 > 0:20:46Because Eve must be completely still for the scan,
0:20:46 > 0:20:48she's been given a general anaesthetic.
0:20:51 > 0:20:55Operating the MRI scanner is radiologist Ms Clapham.
0:20:55 > 0:20:58She's having her head and her spine scanned,
0:20:58 > 0:21:01and then they'll compare it to all the scans that she's had before
0:21:01 > 0:21:04to see if the tumour's gone, or whether anything's come back.
0:21:09 > 0:21:12Parents Philippa and Lee have to wait outside.
0:21:12 > 0:21:16You're not allowed anywhere near when they're under anaesthetic,
0:21:16 > 0:21:20so that bit's quite hard but the more times she has it,
0:21:20 > 0:21:23the more I think we get... Well, it's less painful, isn't it?
0:21:23 > 0:21:25Yeah. And then when they come around
0:21:25 > 0:21:28you want to know all the answers straight away.
0:21:28 > 0:21:30And you don't always get them straight away.
0:21:30 > 0:21:32That's the hardest part.
0:21:32 > 0:21:34They know that any re-growth of the tumour
0:21:34 > 0:21:36would be a major setback to Eve's recovery.
0:21:37 > 0:21:38I hope she's OK.
0:21:40 > 0:21:43Yeah, she will be. She's in good hands, isn't she?
0:21:43 > 0:21:44Course she is.
0:21:48 > 0:21:52Eve's scan is complete, and as she begins to stir,
0:21:52 > 0:21:55she's reunited with her parents.
0:21:55 > 0:21:57She's fine, she's sleeping.
0:21:57 > 0:22:01Hey diddle. You have a nice sleep?
0:22:03 > 0:22:05Are you hungry?
0:22:05 > 0:22:07Hello, darling.
0:22:08 > 0:22:11You OK? Do you want to go back to sleep?
0:22:11 > 0:22:15Surgical bed 6 takes Eve back to the ward to rejoin the more
0:22:15 > 0:22:17comfortable paediatric bed 3...
0:22:20 > 0:22:22..and await the results.
0:22:22 > 0:22:24Is that OK, darling?
0:22:24 > 0:22:26How are you feeling? Are you good?
0:22:26 > 0:22:28Ready for some breakfast?
0:22:29 > 0:22:34After a full day of fasting, it's time for a long overdue snack.
0:22:34 > 0:22:38She's quite nice and alert already, eating her picnic
0:22:38 > 0:22:42that Mum's brought, so she just needs to do an hour with us
0:22:42 > 0:22:44basically, before she goes home.
0:22:44 > 0:22:46Come on, sausage roll girl.
0:22:46 > 0:22:50So did you manage to eat everything that your mum brought for you?
0:22:50 > 0:22:53Look at those crumbs on my bed!
0:22:53 > 0:22:56I know, she ate everything but her cheese sandwich.
0:22:56 > 0:23:02Dr Elliot has the results of the MRI scan.
0:23:02 > 0:23:05This is the large tumour that Eve had before she had her operation,
0:23:05 > 0:23:08and then if you compare that with the latest scan that she's had,
0:23:08 > 0:23:11you can see that there is a hole where she had the operation
0:23:11 > 0:23:15but there is no evidence of the original tumour there.
0:23:15 > 0:23:18Obviously we are pleased with that because we didn't want to see
0:23:18 > 0:23:21any tumour coming back, and I'm sure that the family will be pleased
0:23:21 > 0:23:25when we see them soon to talk about the results of this scan.
0:23:25 > 0:23:28It's a big step for Eve and her parents.
0:23:28 > 0:23:29Come on then.
0:23:29 > 0:23:32The tumour is showing no signs of returning.
0:23:32 > 0:23:35It's time to say goodbye to paediatric bed 3,
0:23:35 > 0:23:36and Sister Nuttall.
0:23:36 > 0:23:39Hopefully, we'll see you at some point whenever you find out
0:23:39 > 0:23:40what scans are next.
0:23:40 > 0:23:42Yeah, you will, I'm sure you will.
0:23:42 > 0:23:44Can I have a high five, Eve? Do you want a sticker before you go?
0:23:44 > 0:23:46Yes!
0:23:46 > 0:23:49I've got some nice stickers. Which one do you think you might like?
0:23:49 > 0:23:50- DAD:- Smiley face.
0:23:50 > 0:23:52- MUM:- Ahh, definitely. That's Mummy's favourite colour.
0:23:52 > 0:23:54So let's put that there.
0:23:54 > 0:23:56- DAD:- There you go.
0:23:56 > 0:24:00Eve still faces further treatment, so there's no big celebration
0:24:00 > 0:24:04just yet, but the news is extremely positive.
0:24:04 > 0:24:07After a long day, the family can leave paediatric bed 3 behind,
0:24:07 > 0:24:08and head home.
0:24:19 > 0:24:22South Yorkshire, Barnsley Hospital.
0:24:22 > 0:24:26Here in the A&E department, the 40 beds rarely get a break.
0:24:26 > 0:24:28I think we really need to move them outright,
0:24:28 > 0:24:33to go down to 29, they would then give a bed for the lady in A&E.
0:24:35 > 0:24:37These beds work around the clock.
0:24:37 > 0:24:39Today, the department is heaving.
0:24:39 > 0:24:42As a last resort, it's patients on trolleys down here
0:24:42 > 0:24:44unfortunately, which, you know, we never want to see,
0:24:44 > 0:24:46but it's just unrelenting at the moment.
0:24:46 > 0:24:48It's all about flow, and if it slows down...
0:24:51 > 0:24:52Busy, busy.
0:24:54 > 0:24:57Emergency department, with the doctors.
0:24:59 > 0:25:01There's no let up.
0:25:01 > 0:25:03An ambulance arrives with an emergency.
0:25:06 > 0:25:09A&E bed 12 brings in 18-year-old Alisha,
0:25:09 > 0:25:12who's had a serious motorbike accident.
0:25:12 > 0:25:14Paramedics fear she's got multiple broken bones.
0:25:17 > 0:25:19Basically, the back of my motorbike slid out,
0:25:19 > 0:25:21and I've gone flying across the road.
0:25:22 > 0:25:25Motorcyclists make up 1% of all road users,
0:25:25 > 0:25:29but account for over 20% of all road deaths.
0:25:29 > 0:25:33Left shoulder, I'm unable to move it cos it's dropped,
0:25:33 > 0:25:37and my right wrist, it's a funny shape.
0:25:37 > 0:25:41Police came, and then I ended up in the back of an ambulance.
0:25:41 > 0:25:44End up in there for about half hour, trying to figure out
0:25:44 > 0:25:45what were wrong with me.
0:25:47 > 0:25:50They're full round there next door, they've got no beds.
0:25:50 > 0:25:54But Alisha can't be examined by a doctor until a cubicle becomes free.
0:25:55 > 0:25:58Unfortunately we have run out of rooms.
0:25:58 > 0:26:02We can take a history on the corridor, with a patient's consent.
0:26:02 > 0:26:05What we can't do is obviously examine somebody in a corridor
0:26:05 > 0:26:08because it would be entirely inappropriate.
0:26:08 > 0:26:12Alisha's mum Paula received a call and rushed straight in.
0:26:12 > 0:26:15This lady told me that Alisha had had an accident,
0:26:15 > 0:26:17and that she was going to go to hospital.
0:26:17 > 0:26:19That's all I knew, I didn't know anything.
0:26:19 > 0:26:22I'm getting a doctor to come and see me and she's putting
0:26:22 > 0:26:26a thing in my arm for pain relief.
0:26:31 > 0:26:33I don't like motorbikes in the first place.
0:26:33 > 0:26:35You must feel like murdering me.
0:26:35 > 0:26:37I do, yeah, I'd rather her be in a car.
0:26:39 > 0:26:41As a priority, a cubicle is freed up.
0:26:44 > 0:26:46A&E bed 12 moves Alisha.
0:26:46 > 0:26:50She'll be examined by emergency registrar Dr Griffiths.
0:26:52 > 0:26:54How fast were you going?
0:26:54 > 0:26:56- Probably about 10, not even that. - 10 miles an hour.
0:26:56 > 0:26:58Literally just the slowest possible going round a roundabout.
0:26:58 > 0:27:00Which way did you go down?
0:27:00 > 0:27:02I've, well, my body's twisted on the motorbike,
0:27:02 > 0:27:06the motorbike's come flying over me from the left-hand side.
0:27:06 > 0:27:07Were you wearing a helmet?
0:27:07 > 0:27:09Yeah. That's destroyed.
0:27:09 > 0:27:10What hurts now?
0:27:10 > 0:27:14It's the left shoulder and my right wrist.
0:27:14 > 0:27:17OK. No pain in your hips at all?
0:27:17 > 0:27:18Nothing, no.
0:27:18 > 0:27:21So it's sore there, yeah? Sore there?
0:27:21 > 0:27:22Uh-huh! All the way down.
0:27:22 > 0:27:23What about here?
0:27:23 > 0:27:26It all hurts. And that definitely hurts.
0:27:26 > 0:27:29OK, but compared to there, is that worse?
0:27:30 > 0:27:32So if that's number one...
0:27:32 > 0:27:34- No. - That's number two...
0:27:34 > 0:27:36- Definitely!- And that's number three, which is worse?
0:27:36 > 0:27:37Number two.
0:27:37 > 0:27:40Can you feel me touching your little fingers?
0:27:40 > 0:27:42Yes!
0:27:42 > 0:27:44You can feel me touching you both sides, can you?
0:27:44 > 0:27:47You didn't hit anything when you slid down the road?
0:27:47 > 0:27:48I hit the kerb.
0:27:50 > 0:27:52If I just try and bring it up?
0:27:54 > 0:27:55SHE MOANS IN PAIN
0:27:55 > 0:27:58Right, we'll get you some painkillers,
0:27:58 > 0:28:00we'll get a gown on you and get you round for X-ray, OK?
0:28:00 > 0:28:01Yeah.
0:28:02 > 0:28:05But definitely nothing else hurting anywhere?
0:28:10 > 0:28:11I feel like I'm going to be sick.
0:28:16 > 0:28:20Alisha is suddenly hit by the reality of the situation,
0:28:20 > 0:28:22and by the pain.
0:28:27 > 0:28:28Hiya, she's crying, she's in agony.
0:28:28 > 0:28:29We're just getting -
0:28:29 > 0:28:32Vicky's just getting the painkillers at the moment, yep.
0:28:34 > 0:28:36I'm quite a sensible driver, to be honest.
0:28:38 > 0:28:40She is, aren't you?
0:28:41 > 0:28:46She's telling people off, aren't you, to slow down.
0:28:46 > 0:28:48I just don't like them, motorbikes, full stop,
0:28:48 > 0:28:50and I didn't want her getting this bike.
0:28:50 > 0:28:52It was £5,000,
0:28:52 > 0:28:56it's just come straight from Shoreham, hasn't it, on finance.
0:28:59 > 0:29:02Alisha's trying to build a career as a swimming coach,
0:29:02 > 0:29:03and has a job interview tomorrow.
0:29:06 > 0:29:10How am I going to attend my interview tomorrow?
0:29:10 > 0:29:13I'm meant to be having an interview for a permanent position.
0:29:13 > 0:29:15I've got to be honest and say I'm worried about it.
0:29:15 > 0:29:17I obviously need my arms to teach.
0:29:18 > 0:29:23So, I'd rather it have been a broken foot than two arms.
0:29:23 > 0:29:27If it's owt worse, I'm looking at months to recover.
0:29:29 > 0:29:32It's time for A&E bed 12 to take Alisha to X-ray.
0:29:33 > 0:29:37Later, we'll return to find out if her injuries are as serious
0:29:37 > 0:29:38as she fears.
0:29:50 > 0:29:52At Birmingham's Queen Elizabeth Hospital,
0:29:52 > 0:29:57day surgery bed 81 is transporting ex-marine Matt back to the ward.
0:30:00 > 0:30:04He's just had 250 botox injections to stop the end of his leg
0:30:04 > 0:30:05from sweating.
0:30:07 > 0:30:08Thanks, guys.
0:30:13 > 0:30:15Hi, hello.
0:30:15 > 0:30:16Hello. Mmm, transformation!
0:30:16 > 0:30:18I know! Are you all right?
0:30:18 > 0:30:20I'm good. Are you all right?
0:30:20 > 0:30:22You were quicker than I thought. How are you doing?
0:30:22 > 0:30:24Good.
0:30:24 > 0:30:25Feel all right?
0:30:25 > 0:30:26Feel great!
0:30:26 > 0:30:29Cool, not hurting, then?
0:30:29 > 0:30:30No.
0:30:32 > 0:30:33Oh, there are pin pricks.
0:30:34 > 0:30:35Little pin pricks.
0:30:37 > 0:30:39Two hundred and something-or-other.
0:30:39 > 0:30:41250?
0:30:41 > 0:30:46That's a pretty boring job for a world-class surgeon,
0:30:46 > 0:30:49to just jab you for half an hour.
0:30:51 > 0:30:56So this might mean I might sweat more elsewhere.
0:30:56 > 0:30:58You might sweat as much as me.
0:30:58 > 0:30:59Top lip.
0:31:02 > 0:31:07Apparently your body has to sweat the same amount that it does,
0:31:07 > 0:31:09everybody sweats differently.
0:31:09 > 0:31:13So, because it doesn't now have that much surface area
0:31:13 > 0:31:16instead of, you know, it used to have all that but now
0:31:16 > 0:31:21it's that, it will go elsewhere or something? I don't know.
0:31:22 > 0:31:25But nowadays it's quite a trendy thing to do, isn't it,
0:31:25 > 0:31:28to prevent, like... Famous people have it in their feet,
0:31:28 > 0:31:33and their armpits, so that when they're on TV they don't have, like,
0:31:33 > 0:31:37sweat marks or they don't slip out of their shoes on the red carpet
0:31:37 > 0:31:38and what have you.
0:31:38 > 0:31:40- If you're into that sort of thing. - Yeah, you're just so vain!
0:31:40 > 0:31:42My stump's going to look so good!
0:31:45 > 0:31:48An hour later, Matt is discharged.
0:31:48 > 0:31:50All right?
0:31:50 > 0:31:53Yeah, great. Looking forward to tomorrow.
0:31:53 > 0:31:56I think everything went really well.
0:31:56 > 0:31:59Everyone works so hard here, so - in all of the NHS.
0:31:59 > 0:32:01Getting back from America and comparing that to this,
0:32:01 > 0:32:06we should be really grateful with what we've got in the UK, so, yeah.
0:32:09 > 0:32:12Bed 81 is on standby for its next patient.
0:32:26 > 0:32:28Back at Barnsley Hospital,
0:32:28 > 0:32:3318-year-old Alisha is on A&E Bed 12 waiting for an X-ray.
0:32:34 > 0:32:37Doctors believe she may have multiple fractures after
0:32:37 > 0:32:39coming off her motorbike.
0:32:39 > 0:32:40Didn't want me to be on a motorbike,
0:32:40 > 0:32:43she just thinks that it's a death trap.
0:32:43 > 0:32:46The accident is bringing back painful memories for Alisha.
0:32:47 > 0:32:49My dad were always...
0:32:49 > 0:32:53loved the motorbikes, and back in 2009
0:32:53 > 0:32:55it just went speeding off the road.
0:32:55 > 0:32:59Ended up into concrete boulders. Instant death.
0:32:59 > 0:33:01Obviously, that's why my mum don't like me on a motorbike.
0:33:04 > 0:33:08Alisha's mum Paula is struggling to deal with what's happened.
0:33:08 > 0:33:14Her brother's had accidents, her dad died in a motorbike accident,
0:33:14 > 0:33:17so it is really worrying, isn't it?
0:33:17 > 0:33:20I'm broken hearted because she's my little baby, isn't she?
0:33:20 > 0:33:23This bike's like a death trap to me for her.
0:33:23 > 0:33:24Nice and still there, please.
0:33:36 > 0:33:39A&E bed 12 takes Alisha back to her cubicle.
0:33:41 > 0:33:46I'll be very surprised if these come back clear. Very surprised.
0:33:46 > 0:33:49Alisha fears any fractures might affect her planned career
0:33:49 > 0:33:52as a swimming instructor.
0:33:52 > 0:33:55Dr Griffiths has the results of Alisha's X-rays.
0:33:55 > 0:34:00She's bust her right wrist and bust her left shoulder.
0:34:01 > 0:34:05You've done a good job, so you've got a break in your right wrist,
0:34:05 > 0:34:08and your left shoulder, it's that bone there, it's your humerus,
0:34:08 > 0:34:11and it's the head of that which has got a fracture through it.
0:34:11 > 0:34:14So I don't think there's anything we're going to do
0:34:14 > 0:34:16in the department, but the orthopaedic doctors are going to
0:34:16 > 0:34:19come and see you, and I don't know whether or not they're going to need
0:34:19 > 0:34:22to do an operation on one or both of them.
0:34:22 > 0:34:25They'll let you know. Any questions for me?
0:34:25 > 0:34:27How long does it take to recover?
0:34:27 > 0:34:30Er, that you'll have to speak to them about.
0:34:30 > 0:34:33You're not going to be swimming any time soon, I don't think.
0:34:33 > 0:34:35Alisha's due to attend an interview
0:34:35 > 0:34:38for a permanent job as a swimming instructor tomorrow.
0:34:38 > 0:34:41Let's just hope that it's not surgery, cos if it is,
0:34:41 > 0:34:44there's no point in me going to that interview tomorrow.
0:34:45 > 0:34:50Orthopaedic surgeon Mr Kalaf has studied Alisha's X-rays.
0:34:51 > 0:34:54It will probably take about six months for you to be able to
0:34:54 > 0:34:55function with that shoulder.
0:34:55 > 0:34:58That means no working?
0:34:58 > 0:34:59Well, that depends on what you do.
0:34:59 > 0:35:01I'm a lifeguard and teacher.
0:35:02 > 0:35:04Yes, it's going to be a while.
0:35:04 > 0:35:07With regards to your wrist, the injury's also nasty.
0:35:07 > 0:35:10You'll probably need a plate on that.
0:35:10 > 0:35:11Well, I expected that.
0:35:12 > 0:35:14We'll do this tomorrow morning.
0:35:14 > 0:35:16And how long will that take to heal, then?
0:35:16 > 0:35:18She'll be in a cast for about six weeks,
0:35:18 > 0:35:21physiotherapy about another six weeks.
0:35:21 > 0:35:22That's less than my arm.
0:35:26 > 0:35:31Alisha won't be able to teach swimming for at least six months.
0:35:31 > 0:35:33I'm going to have to cancel my interview.
0:35:35 > 0:35:36Come on.
0:35:38 > 0:35:40Come on.
0:35:40 > 0:35:41Can't even hug you!
0:35:41 > 0:35:43Come on. I know, come on.
0:35:48 > 0:35:49Do you want me to ring Daneside up?
0:35:49 > 0:35:52You're going to have to ring Hoyland and Daneside
0:35:52 > 0:35:54and tell them I can't work.
0:35:57 > 0:35:59Alisha's broken her right wrist,
0:35:59 > 0:36:01and her upper arm close to the shoulder joint.
0:36:02 > 0:36:04Does that feel OK? Yep?
0:36:05 > 0:36:07She'll have surgery on her wrist tomorrow.
0:36:12 > 0:36:15A&E bed 12 takes Alisha to the surgical ward.
0:36:18 > 0:36:19I feel a bit better.
0:36:19 > 0:36:22I hope she gets shot of the bike and gets a car.
0:36:22 > 0:36:25A&E bed 12 is released.
0:36:33 > 0:36:36Back at Leicester's Royal Infirmary, on maternity bed 5,
0:36:36 > 0:36:41Keisha is in labour with her second child.
0:36:41 > 0:36:44We need to move the bed just in case we need to get her
0:36:44 > 0:36:46in a different position.
0:36:46 > 0:36:48She's considered high risk.
0:36:48 > 0:36:53Her scans have indicated that she's having a big baby.
0:36:53 > 0:36:55Yep, just in case.
0:36:55 > 0:36:57The room is lacking the equipment that we need now for
0:36:57 > 0:36:58a high risk lady.
0:36:58 > 0:37:00Keisha's labour's moving really fast,
0:37:00 > 0:37:04so we need to make sure that we've got all this equipment in there,
0:37:04 > 0:37:07and the staff, and the coordinator, and the other staff within the unit
0:37:07 > 0:37:09know what's actually happening, which can be really quite difficult
0:37:09 > 0:37:13in a situation when you're really overrun with women,
0:37:13 > 0:37:15who are lacking staff.
0:37:15 > 0:37:17It's just busy on the shop floor, basically.
0:37:20 > 0:37:22Keisha's been in the birthing room
0:37:22 > 0:37:26for only 30 minutes and is fully dilated.
0:37:26 > 0:37:29I just want to get it over and done with.
0:37:29 > 0:37:30Oh, it's coming again.
0:37:31 > 0:37:32Ohhhh!
0:37:34 > 0:37:35I can see some pressure there.
0:37:35 > 0:37:37Ohh! Ohh!
0:37:41 > 0:37:43She's doing very well.
0:37:43 > 0:37:47Bit nervous but just saw the baby's head coming through.
0:37:47 > 0:37:52Only a little bit but, you know, it's there, it's coming.
0:37:52 > 0:37:54Baby's coming, we can see a part of baby's head.
0:37:54 > 0:37:56So hopefully not too long,
0:37:56 > 0:37:59this little boy's going to make an appearance.
0:37:59 > 0:38:03When my daughter was pregnant with Keisha, I was there helping
0:38:03 > 0:38:08when she was born, so I'll be seeing my great grandson born now.
0:38:08 > 0:38:10Yes, very excited, really.
0:38:13 > 0:38:16You know what, I actually think if we could get you changed position
0:38:16 > 0:38:18a little bit, I think it would help this baby's head come down.
0:38:18 > 0:38:20OK.
0:38:25 > 0:38:29OK, fab. Do you feel better now you're on your knees?
0:38:29 > 0:38:30Yeah, I do.
0:38:30 > 0:38:31Yeah?
0:38:33 > 0:38:35'I've just changed position'
0:38:35 > 0:38:36because my legs feel a bit heavy
0:38:36 > 0:38:38and I wasn't able to give him the room,
0:38:38 > 0:38:43so, I'm trying... I'm trying this way instead.
0:38:43 > 0:38:44Is he not coming now?
0:38:44 > 0:38:48Yeah, he's coming. There's no going back now!
0:38:53 > 0:38:57Six years ago, Keisha had complications with her first birth.
0:38:57 > 0:39:00She needed special medical assistance to deliver
0:39:00 > 0:39:02her larger than average baby.
0:39:02 > 0:39:06Right, you've been pushing now nearly an hour, OK?
0:39:06 > 0:39:09I'm just going to have a chat with Jo the midwife and it might mean
0:39:09 > 0:39:11getting the doctors to come down and see you.
0:39:11 > 0:39:14We'll see what sort of plan they want to do. Yeah?
0:39:19 > 0:39:21I think it's time now that Keisha had that extra support
0:39:21 > 0:39:25from the doctors just to make the decision on where we're going with this.
0:39:25 > 0:39:27Ahhh!
0:39:28 > 0:39:32Consultant Dr Agawal is drafted in from the delivery unit.
0:39:35 > 0:39:37OK, you just push against that pain.
0:39:38 > 0:39:42Ohhh! Ohhh!
0:39:42 > 0:39:44I'm trying so hard!
0:39:44 > 0:39:46You're doing really well.
0:39:48 > 0:39:51You are going to deliver this baby yourself, OK?
0:39:51 > 0:39:54You are doing so well, I'm going to give you a little bit more time.
0:39:54 > 0:39:55OK.
0:39:56 > 0:39:59So the doctor is happy that we can carry on pushing for at least
0:39:59 > 0:40:01another 15 minutes.
0:40:01 > 0:40:05Her last pregnancy, her last labour has made such an impact on
0:40:05 > 0:40:07this one now, I'm kind of having to sort of,
0:40:07 > 0:40:10encourage her and make her believe that she can do this.
0:40:12 > 0:40:16Keisha, Keisha, your little boy's head's sitting there, OK?
0:40:16 > 0:40:19The next few pushes, the baby's head's coming out.
0:40:19 > 0:40:21I need you to listen to what I'm going to say,
0:40:21 > 0:40:23because I'm going to tell you little pushes and blows.
0:40:23 > 0:40:25Really control this baby's head out.
0:40:25 > 0:40:27You are doing amazing, yeah?
0:40:27 > 0:40:29I'm just so hot.
0:40:29 > 0:40:31- I know.- I'm too hot.
0:40:31 > 0:40:33Little pushes, really controlled pushes.
0:40:33 > 0:40:34Come on, you can do this.
0:40:34 > 0:40:37Well done, that - little one, blow, blow, blow, blow, blow, blow.
0:40:39 > 0:40:40That's it, just keep blowing.
0:40:40 > 0:40:41It's so hard.
0:40:41 > 0:40:44Right, I need you to give me the littlest push.
0:40:44 > 0:40:45That's it.
0:40:45 > 0:40:47With some coaching from Midwife Hewitt,
0:40:47 > 0:40:50Keisha finally gives birth, naturally.
0:40:56 > 0:40:58Thank you so much.
0:41:05 > 0:41:07- You did it, yeah?- Thank you.
0:41:07 > 0:41:08I told you, didn't I?
0:41:08 > 0:41:09You're amazing. Thank you.
0:41:09 > 0:41:11Why is he so huge?
0:41:11 > 0:41:13I don't know, you grew him!
0:41:13 > 0:41:14I know!
0:41:16 > 0:41:19Nan, are you OK? Are you crying?
0:41:19 > 0:41:22Oh, no, I've stopped crying now that you've had him.
0:41:26 > 0:41:32Keep him nice and warm, Keisha. He's got such massive hands.
0:41:32 > 0:41:34Well done, you did really well.
0:41:34 > 0:41:36Can I have a glass of wine now?
0:41:39 > 0:41:41He's gorgeous, he's gorgeous.
0:41:41 > 0:41:42Mummy's here.
0:41:42 > 0:41:45I feel great. I'm on cloud nine.
0:41:46 > 0:41:48I can't believe how big he is.
0:41:48 > 0:41:50He's quite heavy.
0:41:50 > 0:41:51Yeah, he's chunky.
0:41:51 > 0:41:54- How big do you think the baby was? - 4.5?
0:41:54 > 0:42:005.04 kilos, 11 pound 2. Small second degree tear.
0:42:00 > 0:42:02Amazing.
0:42:02 > 0:42:04Mummy's here.
0:42:04 > 0:42:06My biggest baby I've ever delivered.
0:42:10 > 0:42:12His name's Arlo. He's lovely.
0:42:14 > 0:42:17She done amazing, she was so good. I'm so proud of her.
0:42:19 > 0:42:23Maternity bed 5 will stay with Keisha and baby Arlo
0:42:23 > 0:42:24on the ward for observations.
0:42:27 > 0:42:33Mummy's here. Mummy's here. It's OK, baby.
0:42:33 > 0:42:36It's OK, your sister can't wait to see you.
0:42:44 > 0:42:48Our hospital beds have given us intimate access to the work of the NHS.
0:42:48 > 0:42:52Matt was able to go for a run with wife Amy
0:42:52 > 0:42:54the day after his botox op.
0:42:54 > 0:42:56He says it really has been life-changing.
0:42:57 > 0:43:00Alisha's had a pin and plate fitted to her wrist.
0:43:00 > 0:43:03She's also waiting to hear if she will need an operation
0:43:03 > 0:43:04on her shoulder.
0:43:04 > 0:43:07And Keisha's back at home with baby Arlo,
0:43:07 > 0:43:09who's growing bigger by the day.
0:43:10 > 0:43:12The beds are now back on their wards,
0:43:12 > 0:43:15ready and waiting for their next round of patients.
