Secret Life of the Hospital Bed

In Barnsley Hospital's A&E department, 42-year-old Michelle has been rushed in by ambulance having suffered her second stroke, and doctors must react quickly to limit the damage caused to her brain. Over in Birmingham's Queen Elizabeth Hospital, bed 41 is waiting for 25-year-old Sophie, who is in for reconstructive surgery on her fingertip after being attacked by a dog. Sophie is hoping that surgeons will be able to save as much of her finger as possible. In Leeds Children's Hospital, paediatric bed three is waiting for 14-year-old Anna, who is having a frame removed which doctors hope will have straightened the bone in her leg. She has a very rare genetic disorder called acrodysostosis, which causes abnormalities in her bones. Back in Barnsley, resus bed two is prepped and on standby for 76-year-old Molly, who has been admitted with suspected sepsis.
