-First of all, a question.

-How many Welsh speaking surgeons

-from Barbados do you know?

-None? Well, let me introduce one.

-Mr Phillip Moore

-is an ENT surgeon at Ysbyty Gwynedd.

-IN WELSH

-IN WELSH

-

-Good morning, everyone.

-We have one or two children

-who need treatment.

-The first is Tomos,

-who needs a tonsillectomy.

-He had a lot of problems

-with tonsillitis.

-He experienced a lot

-of sore throats...

-..and high temperatures.

-He felt ill all day...

-..on a lot of occasions.

-So we're going to fix it.

-Hiya, Tomos. You OK?

-How is his throat?

-How is his throat?

-

-Alright at the moment.

-After seeing you,

-he's had tonsillitis once.

-Only once?

-Yes.

-OK.

-We're going to fix it.

-Today, we're taking the tonsils out.

-The operation

-only takes half an hour.

-Then, if he's alright...

-..he can go home this afternoon.

-We should be ready for him

-in about half an hour.

-Right, Tomos, see you soon.

-OK? High five!

-Great!

-Nice to see you again.

-Good morning, everyone.

-Hi, Mared, you OK?

-Hi, Mared, you OK?

-

-Yes, thanks.

-Hello Mam, I'm Mr Moore.

-Hello Mam, I'm Mr Moore.

-

-How are you?

-Not too bad, thanks. You?

-Not too bad, thanks. You?

-

-Fine, thanks.

-Lovely.

-How is your throat, Mared?

-Alright, thanks.

-Alright, thanks.

-

-OK.

-When did you last have tonsillitis?

-About four weeks ago.

-OK, that's fine.

-We'll take the tonsils out.

-We'll look in the ears too.

-If you have a bit of glue ear, we'll

-put a grommet in the ear again.

-Do you have any questions?

-No. Champion.

-Your Welsh is very good.

-It's not too bad!

-Unfortunately, I'm not fluent yet.

-But I'll keep going.

-What made you start learning Welsh?

-How do you learn Welsh?

-I've been studying at Bangor

-University for about five years.

-Next week...

-..I'm taking the A-level exam.

-Wow! Great.

-So no pressure!

-Is it difficult to learn Welsh?

-Sometimes...

-..especially mutations

-and feminine and masculine forms.

-But I studied French

-in secondary school.

-There are similarities

-between French and Welsh.

-Great.

-It's a good challenge.

-It's great to speak Welsh

-with patients, the elderly...

-..and in the pub too!

-LAUGHTER

-Good!

-I must run to theatre...

-..to prepare for surgery.

-I'll see you soon.

-Ta-ra!

-Did you know he spoke Welsh?

-Did you know he spoke Welsh?

-

-No, I didn't.

-Great.

-Which language will you

-speak with him now?

-Welsh, of course.

-It makes you smile and feel happier.

-Hurry, Mr Moore.

-You have a busy morning ahead.

-The first patient is on his way.

-What have you got on your pyjamas?

-Is it Tomos Y Tanc?

-When I do surgery,

-I have to clean my hands...

-..to prevent infection transferring

-from me to the patient.

-I have to clean all the nooks

-and crannies on the hands.

-Infection can hide...

-..behind fingernails...

-..and between fingers.

-I've finished.

-I just need to dry my hands.

-Then I get dressed.

-Then we'll be ready.

-Mr Moore is ready for you, Tomos.

-Hurry, now.

-Give Dad a kiss.

-See you later.

-It's alright.

-See you when you come out.

-See you later.

-He's happy.

-He's a darling.

-Take a seat. We'll be back up soon.

-Who is helping you today?

-Pat.

-This is Pat.

-She's excellent.

-We couldn't do

-the operation without Pat.

-Thanks!

-Welcome!

-Thanks.

-One operation is about to start.

-It's time to prepare

-for the next one.

-Shoes?

-This is the fourth time.

-We're old hands.

-Hopefully, she'll be fine this time.

-Does that go over the T-shirt?

-Yes, over the T-shirt, like a coat.

-OK.

-Shall I take that?

-Thanks.

-There are many ways

-to take tonsils out.

-Today, I'm using

-a special machine...

-..called a Coblator.

-It removes tonsils...

-..without getting too hot.

-It's better for the patient...

-..because it lessens

-pain after surgery.

-I'm using a guard in the mouth...

-..to open the mouth and make sure

-we see the tonsils well.

-I have to be careful with it.

-It's possible to cause

-an injury in the mouth...

-..or break teeth...

-..if we're too cack-handed

-with the mouth guard.

-I put a little local

-anaesthetic in the tonsils...

-..to reduce pain after surgery.

-Here's the tonsil.

-He had a lot of tonsil infections.

-He often missed school.

-Unfortunately, tonsillectomy

-isn't a spectator sport.

-It's hard to see anything.

-But here's the second tonsil.

-Everything is fine.

-Happy to dispose of the tissue?

-Happy to dispose of the tissue?

-

-Very happy, thanks.

-Another successful operation.

-But Mr Moore's work isn't over yet.

-Another young patient is on her way.

-Mared is going to have

-her tonsils taken out...

-..and have a grommet in her ear.

-In here.

-Welcome to anaesthetic room 5!

-Can you open and close

-your hand a few times for me?

-Think you're grabbing for sweeties.

-Brave.

-Say if it hurts.

-You alright, darling?

-You alright, darling?

-

-Yes.

-Good girl. You're doing very well.

-Well done.

-If you hold it there like that.

-Are you happy to hold it?

-Very good.

-A future in anaesthesia for you.

-This might feel a little

-bit cold in your arm.

-Don't worry if it does,

-it'll go very quickly.

-Good girl.

-Well done.

-Do you want to give her a kiss?

-Thank you very much.

-Thank you very much.

-

-Thanks.

-We'll take good care of her for you.

-We'll take good care of her for you.

-

-Thank you.

-Dr Jason Walker has done his work.

-It's time for Mr Moore

-to start his work.

-THEY GO THROUGH CHECKLIST

-With this patient, we start

-by repairing the right ear.

-We'll insert

-the grommet in the eardrum.

-We do this because...

-..she has problems

-with ear infections...

-..and reduced hearing

-in the right ear.

-I use a knife to cut

-the eardrum a bit.

-OK, grommet, please.

-The grommet stays

-for about six months.

-Then it falls by itself.

-The eardrum repairs itself.

-Often, everything is alright.

-There are no more problems.

-Back on Minffordd Ward...

-..Tomos has recovered enough

-to enjoy a cheese sandwich.

-He slept for an hour after

-coming back up, then he woke up.

-He's fine, I hope.

-He hasn't complained yet.

-We'll see. It's too early to tell.

-Has he had painkillers?

-Yes, in theatre,

-but not on the ward.

-Maybe later on.

-We'll see.

-OK.

-We'll start to take out the tonsils.

-It's almost out.

-We're removing the final

-bit of tissue.

-We've finished. Thank you.

-And now it's time

-for Pat to operate.

-I put labels on the toys

-for the children.

-It gives them something

-to think about...

-..other than what happens to them.

-This little teddy I believe

-is called Ellie.

-I'd like to hopefully

-make a little girl feel better.

-Another sticky on, and a bandage.

-Hopefully, Ted will be happy.

-I'll just put it here,

-ready for our little lady.

-This is Seren Medi.

-She has a sore throat.

-She had a sore throat

-and bad headache yesterday.

-Her temperature was 40.4 lunchtime.

-We phoned yesterday afternoon

-after she began to throw up.

-We brought her to A & E

-at 7.45pm last night.

-She was throwing up,

-had a sore throat and headache.

-They decided to keep her

-in because she was throwing up.

-She has tonsillitis. She has been

-in hospital before because of it.

-You have a sore throat.

-Seren will have the same operation

-as Tomos and Mared.

-Her body doesn't respond

-to Calpol or Ibuprofen...

-..because she has

-such a bad throat infection.

-We came in because of the vomiting.

-The medicine doesn't stay down.

-They'll keep an eye on her.

-We hope they take her tonsils out.

-She already has a grommet.

-She started having a sore throat

-after the grommet.

-We hope they take her tonsils out.

-What's wrong?

-Kiss?

-Hopefully, Mared won't have

-another sore throat.

-She's in a bad mood.

-You'll be better soon.

-Won't you?

-What have they done?

-What have they done?

-

-They removed her tonsils.

-They inserted a grommet

-in her right ear.

-She's doing well.

-She'll be fine after a bite to eat.

-How are you?

-How are you?

-

-Better now, thanks.

-Yes!

-What's wrong?

-What's wrong?

-

-Nerves.

-She has had it done four times.

-It still makes me cry!

-She said in the corridor,

-"Don't cry, Mam."

-But I did.

-Thank you.

-Good girl.

-There we are.

-Can you put that on the side?

-Do you want more?

-Are you OK?

-Have you seen Teddy?

-Look.

-Snap.

-Look what the nice nurse did.

-"Ellie has been a good girl."

-Isn't that good?

-Do you want to sleep?

-OK.

-Go to bye-byes.

-You don't have to be ill

-to gain entry to Dewi Ward.

-I'm from the Awyr Las

-fundraising team.

-I'm meeting Moli.

-She sold cakes to raise money

-for the children's unit.

-I'm here to take a photograph

-to put on Facebook...

-..and to thank her

-for her hard work.

-You've been very kind.

-Did you make the cakes?

-Chloe and her mother

-made the cakes for Her Bac...

-..to collect money

-for a local charity.

-How much did you raise?

-136.65.

-That was hard work.

-That was hard work.

-

-Yes.

-You made a lot of people fat!

-Yes!

-We sold out before lunchtime.

-The coffee morning

-was supposed to last all day.

-We only had 20 cakes left

-by the time Year 9 pupils arrived.

-They sold out in five minutes.

-The money will be spent

-on painting the walls...

-..to make it nicer for the children.

-Thank you very much.

-Seren Medi is better

-after a night in hospital.

-Mam is happy to see her tucking

-in to sausage, egg and beans.

-She had anti-sickness tablets,

-and they said she can go home.

-We're waiting for antibiotics.

-She likes her food.

-She likes her food.

-

-She likes sausages!

-Before the ward turns in

-for the night...

-..a final visitor appears.

-This is Max.

-He's a Samoyed from West Siberia.

-Sneak in, Max,

-before the doctors spot you.

-He's a patient therapy dog.

-We haven't had him here before.

-He only started two months ago.

-He's white, fluffy

-and everyone loves him.

-He can't go round the wards,

-in case children have asthma.

-They can see him in the play room.

-He loves being here.

-He's gorgeous.

-He's thinking you're going

-to pull his tail.

-If you get the comb stuck

-in his tail, he'll have a problem.

-He's turning his tail away. He won't

-shout at you if you comb it.

-He's not quite as keen

-on having that done.

-What are you doing?

-I'm combing the dog.

-What his name?

-Um...

-..Max.

-Have you got another dog?

-I have two dogs.

-What are their names?

-What are their names?

-

-Bela and Celt.

-Do you prefer Max?

-Do you prefer Max?

-

-No.

-I had a cat

-when I was a little girl.

-When I take my dogs for a walk,

-someone always comes to chat to me.

-Dogs break the ice.

-Max is so pretty and fluffy.

-Everyone wants to cuddle him.

-The owner talks to the patients.

-They often tell him what's wrong

-and we can sort something out.

-If they're worried

-about an operation...

-..or a test...

-..Max takes their minds off it.

-The time they spend here

-is more pleasurable.

-If I had my way,

-he'd be here all day, every day!

-He only comes on Wednesdays.

-He's gorgeous.

-Since having his tonsils taken out,

-Tomos has had a new brother!

-Mared hears and sleeps

-better after her operation.

-Seren Medi still has problems

-with her throat.

-She's waiting for an operation.

-Max is a regular visitor

-to Dewi Ward.
