Great North Children's Hospital | S01 E15 | Medical Documentary | All Documentary

At the Great North Children's Hospital in Newcastle, 13-year-old Harvey has been shown to bed 27. He was playing badminton at school and, after landing at a funny angle on his right leg, he felt his knee lock and hasn't been able to bend his leg again. He also happens to be double-jointed and extremely flexible, which may be part of the problem.
Over at the Day Surgery Unit in Birmingham's Queen Elizabeth Hospital Susan has arrived to have some surgery carried out on her hand. Whilst on holiday she fell and broke her wrist, so now she needs to have an operation that will implant a metal plate in her wrist. She has had to rely a lot on husband Brian since she fell and is desperate to regain her independence.

Secret Life of the Hospital Bed is a unique 20-part series where across the 60-minute episodes, fixed-rig cameras tell the story of patients who enter four different hospitals across the UK. The hospitals are The Royal Victoria Infirmary in Newcastle, The Queen's Hospital in Romford, The Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Birmingham and The Great Northern Children’s Hospital in Newcastle. The circumstances, the ailment, the treatment, the length of stay - everything is personal to the individual involved. But the one constant throughout is the bed.
