Secret Life of the Hospital Bed: Season 1, Episode 15

1 - 15: Episode 15

Documentary series following patients who enter hospitals across Britain. In bed nine at Newcastle's A&E Department in the Royal Victoria Infirmary, 19-year-old chef Michael has arrived having fallen off his bike the day before and injured his shoulder. Birmingham's Day Surgery Unit at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital has just welcomed 67-year-old Janet, who is going to have an endoscopic procedure that will allow her to be fed straight into her stomach. While having a routine check-up at her dentist, Janet found out she had a large tumour in her mouth and neck, which turned out to be a rare form of cancer. Over in Romford's Queen's Hospital Maternity Unit, bed seven is looking after 28-year-old Shirley, who is being assessed after her waters broke in the cafe downstairs. She is keen on having a water birth, but she has an infection which needs treatment.
