Secret Life of the Hospital Bed S01E14 - Episode 14

Documentary series following patients who enter hospitals across Britain. At the Great North Children's Hospital in Newcastle, bed 27 is looking after 12-year-old Patrick, who has come in with lower back pain as a result of a collision during rugby practice. At the Day Surgery Unit in Birmingham's Queen Elizabeth Hospital, Carl has arrived to have an operation on his nose. He has been having problems with it for the last year and has already had two investigative operations to find out what is going on. The surgery will involve the bone being broken and moved to the side. In the A&E Department at Newcastle's Royal Victoria Infirmary, bed nine is looking after 22-year-old Ellen. She is in a lot of pain and is worried that she might have kidney stones. Ellen already has a condition that heavily affects her life called hyperparathyroid, and she is often in intense pain.
