-It's why we're here. We're here

-to help you at the end of the day.

0:00:000:00:04

-We're here to treat you

-but we're also here to lend an ear.

0:00:050:00:09

-For eight months, our cameras

-have followed students...

0:00:090:00:13

-..from Cardiff University.

0:00:130:00:15

-You're forced to grow up quickly.

0:00:160:00:18

-15 individuals on an unique course.

0:00:180:00:21

-We get the creme de la creme.

0:00:210:00:24

-I'm the most competitive.

-I'm itching for the responsibility.

0:00:240:00:28

-From the classroom

-to hospitals across Wales.

0:00:290:00:31

-It's going to be more challenging

-than anything they've done before.

0:00:320:00:37

-Entering the medical world

-for the first time.

0:00:380:00:42

-Young student doctors

-are like little chicks.

0:00:420:00:46

-Do you remember that?

-It was hilarious.

0:00:480:00:51

-Facing the greatest challenge

-of their young lives.

0:00:510:00:54

-This year was the first time

-I saw someone die.

0:00:550:00:58

-It really hit me

-because she's not going to recover.

0:00:590:01:02

-I feel like I'm drowning,

-that I'm not doing enough work.

0:01:030:01:07

-Medicine is hard.

-The course is going to be hard.

0:01:070:01:10

-As we chronicle every step

-to become tomorrow's doctors.

0:01:110:01:16

-We'll be the doctor on the scene.

-We'll be in charge.

0:01:160:01:19

-This is superb.

-What made me choose this path?

0:01:200:01:23

-This is not about elitism.

0:01:230:01:26

-You have been given a gift.

0:01:270:01:29

-You must use that gift to do good.

0:01:300:01:34

-For the majority of Cardiff's

-1,500 medical students...

0:01:420:01:46

-..the highlight of the course

-is the hospital placement.

0:01:460:01:51

-But before

-they deal with real patients...

0:01:510:01:55

-..they practise their skills

-in a classroom setting.

0:01:550:01:59

-Today, Elen and Mared

-learn how to insert a catheter...

0:02:010:02:05

-..into the male anatomy

-by practising on plastic dummies.

0:02:050:02:09

-We had a clinical skills session

-where we had to insert a catheter.

0:02:130:02:18

-Hello, Mr Roberts.

0:02:180:02:20

-Today I'm going to be...

0:02:200:02:24

-Scratch that.

0:02:260:02:28

-We shouldn't do it with friends.

-It just doesn't work.

0:02:280:02:33

-I'll apply some gel...

0:02:330:02:35

-..to soothe the pain...

0:02:350:02:38

-..and then

-I'll insert a tube up your...

0:02:380:02:41

-Don't laugh!

0:02:420:02:43

-In this situation, we had a partner

-sitting on the bed, legs apart...

0:02:440:02:49

-..with a block...

0:02:520:02:54

-..with a plastic penis

-attached to it between their legs.

0:02:540:02:59

-It'll be uncomfortable

-but it shouldn't hurt.

0:03:010:03:04

-It'll feel like a sharp sting

-and then it should go numb.

0:03:040:03:08

-It's good experience...

0:03:080:03:10

-..being able

-to practise clinical skills here...

0:03:110:03:14

-..but it's so different

-doing it on real patients.

0:03:140:03:17

-It's fiddlier than you think.

0:03:170:03:19

-Inserting catheters are tricky...

0:03:200:03:22

-..but everything went...

0:03:230:03:25

-Everything went wrong.

0:03:250:03:27

-I was quite confident.

-I thought, I've done this before.

0:03:270:03:31

-It'll be fine.

0:03:310:03:33

-But it wasn't.

-I found the bags really fiddly.

0:03:330:03:37

-There were so many points to follow.

0:03:380:03:40

-When someone's behind you,

-observing you, it's more difficult.

0:03:400:03:45

-Mared loved it.

-It made her laugh so much.

0:03:490:03:54

-It was hard this time,

-though I'd done it before...

0:03:540:03:57

-..on a real patient with no problem.

0:03:570:04:00

-I'm glad we got to practise, really.

0:04:000:04:03

-I hope I get a patient

-who goes in for an operation...

0:04:030:04:07

-..and I have to insert a catheter

-when they're under anaesthetic!

0:04:070:04:12

-That'd be a step up

-before having to go on the wards.

0:04:120:04:16

-Many patients will come

-from multicultural backgrounds.

0:04:210:04:25

-Doctors will have to treat patients

-who speak a variety of languages.

0:04:260:04:31

-Elen's on placement, dealing with

-a challenging situation...

0:04:310:04:36

-..at the A&E department in Newport.

0:04:370:04:39

-I'm Elen,

-third-year medical student.

0:04:400:04:42

-If you could tell me

-what's brought you into hospital.

0:04:430:04:46

-My grandmother's got a bad eye.

-She can't see through it properly.

0:04:460:04:51

-One of the patients

-couldn't speak English.

0:04:510:04:55

-I think she understood more than she

-let on but she couldn't converse...

0:04:550:05:00

-..so her granddaughter

-had to interpret for her.

0:05:010:05:04

-We went to the doctor's and

-they said she's got a damaged nerve.

0:05:040:05:09

-SHE SPEAKS NATIVE LANGUAGE

0:05:090:05:11

-They put

-a drip on her as well today.

0:05:160:05:19

-I have sick tablets. Sick medicine.

0:05:190:05:22

-She's had sick medicine

-because she kept throwing up.

0:05:220:05:26

-It was hard knowing which questions

-to ask, how to ask them.

0:05:270:05:31

-I felt as though I spoke more to

-the granddaughter than the patient.

0:05:310:05:36

-It's an easy thing to do but it's

-something I shouldn't do either.

0:05:370:05:41

-That was hard.

0:05:420:05:43

-Do you have a family history of...

0:05:440:05:47

-..headaches, any strokes?

0:05:480:05:50

-Anything like that?

0:05:500:05:52

-Yes, my granddad...

0:05:520:05:54

-..he had a few strokes, he did.

0:05:550:05:58

-I was enquiring

-about her medical history...

0:05:580:06:01

-..or if there were any problems

-she was aware of...

0:06:020:06:05

-..and I was told that a few family

-members had suffered strokes.

0:06:050:06:09

-He did have one

-which was on the left side...

0:06:090:06:12

-..but he recovered from that.

0:06:120:06:15

-He had a long history of illnesses

-for the past couple of years.

0:06:150:06:20

-After reading through her notes...

0:06:200:06:23

-..there was no evidence of stroke

-in the family.

0:06:230:06:27

-SHE SPEAKS NATIVE LANGUAGE

0:06:270:06:29

-No stroke in the history?

-He's never had a stroke?

0:06:320:06:36

-Oh, OK, scratch that.

0:06:360:06:38

-I enquired if she had

-other medical problems...

0:06:390:06:42

-..but she said no.

0:06:420:06:44

-I checked the notes and there were

-lots of entries saying she'd had...

0:06:440:06:49

-..investigations for TB.

0:06:490:06:52

-AFB is acid-fast bacilli

-and is code for TB.

0:06:520:06:55

-If she's got TB and I give her

-steroids, what'll happen?

0:06:550:06:59

-That's bad.

0:06:590:07:00

-Translating is hard.

0:07:010:07:02

-I'm not surprised

-the granddaughter had trouble...

0:07:030:07:06

-..because I don't think she fully

-understood the native language...

0:07:060:07:11

-..which created

-a language barrier...

0:07:120:07:15

-..between the two of them as well

-as between the patient and myself.

0:07:150:07:19

-What we're concerned about

-is temporal arteritis...

0:07:190:07:23

-..which is inflammation of

-the temporal artery behind the eye.

0:07:230:07:27

-It's a disease of older people.

0:07:270:07:30

-It causes significant headache...

0:07:300:07:32

-..and if untreated

-can cause blindness in that eye.

0:07:330:07:36

-It responds very well to treatment.

0:07:370:07:39

-The difficulty she's got

-is the treatment she needs...

0:07:390:07:43

-..which is a steroid tablet which

-will knock her diabetes control.

0:07:430:07:47

-You give with one hand

-and take with the other.

0:07:480:07:51

-The patient

-will be monitored in hospital...

0:07:510:07:54

-..to prevent the medication doing

-long-term damage to her sight.

0:07:540:07:59

-In Bridgend, Ainsley and David

-are back in the surgical theatre.

0:08:010:08:07

-The female patient

-had surgery two years ago.

0:08:080:08:12

-She was very ill.

-Part of her colon had burst.

0:08:130:08:18

-That part

-was removed two years ago...

0:08:180:08:21

-..and she was given a colostomy bag.

0:08:210:08:24

-We intend to get rid

-of the colostomy bag today...

0:08:250:08:28

-..and reattach the colon

-to the rectum.

0:08:290:08:32

-We'll try to get her back

-as close as we can to normal.

0:08:330:08:36

-It can be a lengthy procedure...

0:08:420:08:45

-..if that part of the colon

-we need...

0:08:460:08:49

-..is loose or stuck

-to whatever's surrounding it.

0:08:490:08:53

-It may take two hours or six.

-We won't know until we start.

0:08:530:08:57

-How do students fare

-with long surgeries?

0:08:570:09:00

-Depends if they've eaten breakfast.

0:09:000:09:04

-Have you eaten breakfast?

0:09:040:09:06

-Sorry?

0:09:060:09:07

-Sorry?

-

-Have you eaten breakfast?

0:09:070:09:09

-Hopefully they'll be alright, then.

0:09:100:09:12

-Otherwise, one or two become wobbly

-and some might faint.

0:09:120:09:16

-It's a good idea to eat breakfast.

0:09:160:09:19

-I've never done it

-on a woman before.

0:09:210:09:23

-It's alright, it's alright,

-I'll help you.

0:09:240:09:26

-I've just inserted

-my first catheter.

0:09:270:09:30

-I was nervous to do it because

-I've never done it on a person.

0:09:310:09:34

-And also with a female, there's

-the risk of UTIs and infections.

0:09:350:09:39

-I was quite nervous but the aseptic

-technique was OK, wasn't it?

0:09:390:09:44

-Yes. You understand what you need

-to do and you're aware of the risks.

0:09:440:09:49

-You just need to practise.

0:09:490:09:51

-Exactly. It was good, though.

0:09:520:09:54

-More than an hour

-into the surgery...

0:09:560:09:58

-..and Miss Dafydd is still cutting

-through scars to get to the colon.

0:09:590:10:03

-Sometimes these things can take time

-because of internal scars.

0:10:030:10:09

-That's exactly

-what we're finding here.

0:10:090:10:12

-It's slow...

0:10:120:10:15

-..but we're making progress.

0:10:150:10:17

-There's no better opportunity...

0:10:180:10:20

-..for the students

-to learn about anatomy.

0:10:200:10:23

-Surgery is an opportunity to see and

-touch what they've been studying.

0:10:230:10:29

-Can you feel a pulse?

0:10:290:10:31

-Oh, my god, yeah!

0:10:310:10:34

-Oh, that's so cool!

0:10:340:10:36

-Surgery can be both exciting...

0:10:370:10:39

-..and challenging.

0:10:400:10:41

-It requires hours of concentration.

0:10:420:10:45

-What they're doing now...

0:10:450:10:48

-..is reattaching

-the large bowel to the rectum.

0:10:480:10:51

-They're using

-a stapler thing at the moment...

0:10:520:10:55

-..but it's a really long operation.

0:10:580:11:01

-I'm starving at the moment.

-I literally need a cup of tea.

0:11:010:11:05

-But they're fine, keep on going.

0:11:050:11:08

-I think David's good as well.

0:11:080:11:10

-No.

0:11:120:11:13

-Catrin is also

-on a third-year placement.

0:11:180:11:21

-She catches up with a patient...

0:11:220:11:24

-..who's undergone

-a life-changing operation.

0:11:240:11:28

-I met Mr Phillips on my

-first day of placement in Newport.

0:11:290:11:34

-He was unconscious and was about

-to go into theatre for surgery.

0:11:350:11:39

-That's when I saw you.

0:11:390:11:41

-That's when it all started

-to go horribly pear shaped.

0:11:410:11:45

-Having already lost one leg...

0:11:470:11:49

-..Mr Phillips is now having

-problems with his other leg.

0:11:490:11:53

-I saw the operation

-to remove the clot...

0:11:540:11:57

-..which started from the heart

-while he was having arrhythmia.

0:11:570:12:01

-Quite a bit came out because my

-partner and I were quite shocked.

0:12:020:12:06

-I thought his leg

-would be better after that...

0:12:060:12:09

-..as the blood was squirting out

-of the artery when it was removed.

0:12:100:12:14

-I then saw him in critical care

-and he seemed to be improving...

0:12:140:12:18

-..but the blood flow to the foot

-wasn't very good.

0:12:190:12:22

-They operated on the leg

-to try and save it.

0:12:220:12:25

-Unfortunately, they couldn't.

0:12:250:12:27

-Unfortunately, they couldn't.

-

-He went back into surgery...

0:12:270:12:30

-..to amputate the leg

-beneath the knee.

0:12:300:12:33

-My leg didn't seem to be

-resolving itself...

0:12:340:12:37

-..so they just came down and...

0:12:370:12:40

-So there you go, that's it.

0:12:430:12:45

-Amputating one leg

-becomes an awful disability...

0:12:460:12:51

-..but once

-you amputate both legs...

0:12:510:12:54

-It changes your life.

0:12:540:12:56

-It changes your life.

-

-..it changes the person's life.

0:12:560:12:58

-This leg has nearly healed,

-so this will become my good leg.

0:12:590:13:03

-My real leg, if you like.

0:13:030:13:05

-I'll be able to pivot on it,

-stand on it, jig on it, whatever.

0:13:050:13:10

-Once this leg

-has been manufactured...

0:13:110:13:16

-..I'll be able to...

0:13:160:13:18

-..bring the two into line.

0:13:190:13:22

-He took it remarkably well.

0:13:220:13:24

-He was a retired soldier.

0:13:240:13:27

-He'd served in the army and so on.

0:13:270:13:29

-He was very stern...

0:13:290:13:32

-..and completely accepted

-everything the doctors told him.

0:13:320:13:36

-He had endless faith in the doctors

-and in their advice.

0:13:370:13:40

-That scar's looking really good.

0:13:410:13:43

-Want to have a butcher's

-on that side?

0:13:430:13:45

-This is in the process, isn't it?

0:13:460:13:48

-This one

-is definitely in the process.

0:13:480:13:51

-Look at this.

0:13:510:13:53

-It's amazing.

0:13:550:13:57

-You'll be back on your feet

-in no time, won't you?

0:13:570:14:01

-Yes. Oh, yes.

0:14:010:14:04

-How is your wife coping?

-Is she coming to see you?

0:14:040:14:07

-Yes, she comes in

-and gives me a hard time.

0:14:070:14:10

-Wants to know when I'm coming out

-because the gutters need cleaning.

0:14:100:14:15

-His cup was always half full.

0:14:180:14:21

-He was never negative,

-he didn't feel sorry for himself.

0:14:210:14:25

-He never complained.

0:14:250:14:27

-He was great.

-I really liked Mr Phillips.

-On her placement in Newport,

-Catrin visits patients...

0:14:430:14:47

-..who undergo dialysis

-in the renal unit.

0:14:470:14:50

-For most, they receive

-four hours of dialysis...

0:14:500:14:54

-..to clean the blood

-several times a week...

0:14:540:14:58

-..whilst awaiting a transplant.

0:14:580:15:00

-Sahiba, who's 22 years old,

-is a familiar face on the ward.

0:15:010:15:05

-I was born with one kidney anyway.

0:15:050:15:08

-That failed in 2007...

0:15:080:15:12

-..and then I was on dialysis here...

0:15:120:15:15

-..and then

-I had a transplant in 2010...

0:15:150:15:19

-..and that lasted only up to a year.

0:15:200:15:22

-So since then,

-everything stopped, really.

0:15:250:15:28

-I can't do nothing.

0:15:280:15:30

-When I went up to her in bed,

-she had a notebook...

0:15:310:15:35

-..in which she wrote poetry

-in a different language.

0:15:360:15:39

-I tried to imagine how I'd feel

-if I had to have dialysis...

0:15:400:15:45

-..and I was miles from home...

0:15:450:15:47

-..with no-one around me,

-no mother or father.

0:15:470:15:51

-She had no-one in the dialysis

-unit, she was on her own.

0:15:510:15:56

-Are you

-a bit anxious about this, or...?

0:15:560:15:58

-No, if I didn't have this...

0:15:580:16:00

-..I wouldn't be here...

0:16:010:16:03

-..so, really, this is

-a life-saving opportunity for me...

0:16:030:16:07

-..while I get a transplant.

0:16:080:16:10

-Sahiba's had

-lots of problems with access.

0:16:100:16:13

-She's so young and all these veins

-are being used...

0:16:130:16:17

-..and you run out of places

-to insert the lines.

0:16:170:16:20

-Can they get

-any more lines in your neck?

0:16:200:16:23

-I don't know.

0:16:230:16:24

-I don't know.

-

-That was tricky.

0:16:240:16:26

-This is a very precious fistula.

-We need to look after it.

0:16:260:16:30

-So what happens is,

-there's two needles that go in...

0:16:310:16:34

-..so this one takes blood out

-through the machine, blood pumped.

0:16:350:16:40

-This is the actual dialyser.

-See those tiny tubes?

0:16:400:16:44

-They're capillary tubes and inside

-every one of those is membrane.

0:16:440:16:50

-The blood goes through tubes on

-that side and back to the patient.

0:16:500:16:54

-But what you have

-going the other way is the dialysis.

0:16:550:16:58

-So the clean blood

-goes back to Sahiba.

0:16:590:17:02

-There's always a way.

0:17:090:17:11

-I asked her, "What do you

-worry about for the future?"

0:17:110:17:15

-She could've listed

-100 things to worry about.

0:17:150:17:18

-Worried about dying,

-worried about her kidneys.

0:17:180:17:21

-I think about the things

-I worry about from day to day.

0:17:220:17:26

-Work pressures and this and that.

0:17:270:17:29

-It's silly because

-when you compare yourself to her...

0:17:310:17:34

-..who says, "It'll be fine,

-there's always a way"...

0:17:350:17:38

-..it makes you think you should

-take a leaf out of her book.

0:17:390:17:44

-You shouldn't waste your time

-worrying about things.

0:17:450:17:48

-It doesn't look likely that

-she'll be able to go to Pakistan.

0:17:510:17:56

-She's only 22, poor thing.

0:17:560:18:00

-But that's her wish.

0:18:000:18:02

-She wants to go to college and

-go to Pakistan to see her family.

0:18:020:18:06

-That's what she wants. She's not

-saying, "I want two kidneys now."

0:18:060:18:10

-She's making the most

-of what she's got.

0:18:110:18:13

-Back at university,

-exams are looming.

0:18:170:18:21

-Once a term, all medical students

-sit exams on the same day.

0:18:210:18:27

-For first-year Manon...

0:18:290:18:32

-..pressure is mounting.

0:18:320:18:34

-I have four days, and counting,

-until the first exam.

0:18:340:18:38

-I've worked really hard but

-I've still got so much more to do.

0:18:390:18:44

-It's slight panics at the moment.

0:18:440:18:47

-I'll have to get up earlier

-and go to bed later.

0:18:470:18:50

-That's how I revise every year.

0:18:510:18:53

-I've just finished

-the second exam of three.

0:18:580:19:02

-I think it went OK, on the whole.

0:19:020:19:05

-There were

-a few difficult questions...

0:19:050:19:08

-..which made me scratch my head.

0:19:080:19:11

-I'm just glad it's over now.

0:19:110:19:14

-I'm going back to North Wales.

0:19:160:19:19

-I have a long journey ahead of me.

0:19:190:19:21

-I'm tired.

0:19:230:19:25

-It was a three-hour exam,

-140 questions.

0:19:250:19:30

-I find it hard stopping myself

-thinking about it...

0:19:330:19:38

-..about the questions.

0:19:380:19:40

-Back in theatre, hours later...

0:19:430:19:47

-..Ainsley and David

-are still in the middle of surgery.

0:19:470:19:51

-They studied dissection

-in the first year...

0:19:540:19:58

-..but seeing it performed

-on a live person is very different.

0:19:580:20:02

-As a student, it's nice

-seeing and touching things...

0:20:030:20:06

-..instead of just observing.

0:20:060:20:08

-I always try and find

-an opportunity for them.

0:20:090:20:11

-This is the ureter - the white tube.

0:20:120:20:15

-When Mr Rawat squeezes it,

-watch out, it does...

0:20:150:20:18

-Oh, yes, like a little worm.

0:20:190:20:20

-The lower part, the rectum,

-is loose and ready.

0:20:210:20:25

-We've pulled the stoma

-and loosened the colon...

0:20:250:20:29

-..so I can reattach it.

0:20:290:20:32

-We're ready

-to put the colon back together.

0:20:330:20:36

-This is the longest operation

-Ainsley has ever observed.

0:20:370:20:42

-The strain of the situation

-is starting to show.

0:20:420:20:45

-Thank you so much. Thank you.

0:20:460:20:48

-I'll sit down. I don't mind

-just sitting down like that.

0:20:480:20:52

-Would you like some water?

0:20:520:20:54

-No, I'm fine. I just feel

-a bit claustrophobic, a bit warm.

0:20:540:20:58

-I'll be OK.

0:20:580:20:59

-Don't do anything.

0:21:030:21:05

-I'm tired now.

0:21:070:21:09

-I'm feeling weak.

-I haven't eaten since 7.30am.

0:21:090:21:13

-It's taken ages, hasn't it?

0:21:140:21:17

-It's really taken a long time.

0:21:170:21:19

-I've never observed for this long.

0:21:200:21:22

-Despite the challenge, Ainsley is

-still enthusiastic about surgery.

0:21:250:21:30

-It's gone well. It's been a success.

0:21:300:21:33

-It's my first time

-in a lengthy procedure.

0:21:330:21:36

-It's been really interesting...

0:21:360:21:39

-..but really draining

-at the same time.

0:21:390:21:41

-I've still enjoyed it.

0:21:420:21:44

-When you're on placement

-for eight weeks...

0:21:470:21:49

-..you can't follow up on patients.

0:21:500:21:52

-I have no idea what's happened

-to half the patients I've seen.

0:21:530:21:56

-I hope they're all happy and well...

0:21:570:21:59

-But they're not, are they?

0:21:590:22:01

-Some faces stay in my mind.

0:22:020:22:05

-Sometimes you think,

-I wonder what happened to her?

0:22:070:22:11

-Or, that scan didn't look very

-good. How did she take the news?

0:22:110:22:16

-Thank goodness

-it wasn't me who had to tell her.

0:22:160:22:19

-But one day it's going to be us.

0:22:200:22:23

-A girl the same age as me

-was admitted this morning.

0:22:250:22:29

-She was 20 years old and she'd

-taken an overdose of paracetamol.

0:22:290:22:33

-It made me think

-how different her life was...

0:22:330:22:36

-..when she woke up this morning

-and took those tablets...

0:22:370:22:40

-..compared to mine,

-when I rolled out of bed.

0:22:400:22:43

-We're here to help you,

-at the end of the day.

0:22:430:22:46

-We're here to treat you and

-we're also here to lend an ear.

0:22:470:22:51

-If you listen to the patient,

-even if they're talking nonsense...

0:22:530:22:57

-..usually there's a solution.

0:22:570:22:59

-80% of the diagnosis

-is in the listening.

0:22:590:23:02

-Sit down - the patient thinks

-you're paying more attention...

0:23:030:23:07

-..when you sit beside them.

0:23:070:23:09

-This week we've focused

-on listening to patients...

0:23:090:23:13

-..even if they have mental issues...

0:23:130:23:15

-..to make sure

-they don't feel lonely...

0:23:150:23:18

-..because when you're

-in a very busy department...

0:23:180:23:22

-..you can still feel lonely

-among 1,000 people.

0:23:220:23:26

-Sometimes

-we forget how privileged we are...

0:23:260:23:29

-..because it's only when

-you sit down and reflect...

0:23:290:23:33

-..and remember the things you've

-seen and the people you've met...

0:23:330:23:37

-..that you realize

-how lucky we are...

0:23:380:23:40

-..to be doing a job we'll hopefully

-enjoy for the rest of our lives.
