Secret Life of the Hospital Bed - Season 2

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.

In Birmingham's Queen Elizabeth Hospital, bed 81 is with 31-year old former Marine Matt, who lost part of his lower leg while serving in Afghanistan. By his side is his wife Amy, and they are hoping that the procedure will make exercising on his leg more bearable. Over at Leeds Children's Hospital, six-year-old Eve has come in for an MRI scan on her brain to check a tumour that has been removed hasn't grown back. In Leicester Royal Infirmary's Maternity Unit, bed five is ready for 26-year-old Keisha, who is in an advanced stage of labour with her second child. Her first baby was larger than average and she needed help to deliver her, and her second baby is expected to be even bigger, so there is a greater risk of complications. At Barnsley Hospital, 18-year-old Alisha arrives having had a serious motorbike accident. Paramedics fear she has got multiple broken bones.

In Birmingham, 70-year-old Christine has come in for an operation on her finger. She developed complications when a splinter went septic, causing permanent damage and pain to her finger. Christine is hoping that she won't need her fingertip amputated. Over at Leeds Children's Hospital, paediatric bed three is looking after six-year-old Olivia, who has come in to have a biopsy on her bowel. Olivia is one of around 100,000 children in the UK who suffer from constipation, but hers is chronic. Surgeons will be testing for any serious underlying issues that would require invasive surgery. At Barnsley Hospital is 27-year-old Jordan, who has been rushed in with a potentially life-threatening collapsed lung. Back in Birmingham, 39-year-old Helen has a suspected heart condition which doctors are struggling to diagnose. Back in Barnsley, 83-year-old Lewis has been brought in by ambulance after collapsing at home.

At Barnsley Hospital, bed 12 meets 64-year-old Charles, who has been rushed in with severe pain in his abdomen. Doctors are concerned that he may have a potentially life-threatening bowel blockage. At Leeds Children's Hospital, bed three is looking after four-year-old Reuben. Due to a rare condition, Reuben needed a liver transplant when he was a baby. He has come in for extensive dental surgery because as well as damaging his front tooth, he has decay and staining caused by the liver disease. Back in Barnsley, resus bed two is transporting 16-year-old Lewis into the resuscitation room. The aspiring young footballer has dislocated his elbow during trials at Barnsley FC. Over in Leicester Royal Infirmary's Maternity Unit, bed five is ready for 41-year-old expectant mum Gillian. She is three days overdue and has come in for an induction to move her into labour.

In Barnsley Hospital's A&E department, resus bed two is being prepped for its next critically ill patient. 56-year-old Elaine has been rushed into hospital gasping for breath. She has a tube in her neck to allow her to breathe, but it has become blocked. Doctors must react quickly to clear her airway.

Over in Leeds Children's Hospital, paediatric day surgery bed three is looking after its first patient of the day. Five-year-old Edward has come in with his mum Steph. He is having an operation which will mark the end of his treatment for leukaemia.

In Leicester Royal Infirmary's maternity unit, first time mum, 25-year-old Marcell, has been admitted two weeks ahead of her due date.

She is in the early stages of labour and her baby is moving less than normal, which means the baby's health may be at risk.

Back in Barnsley Hospital's A&E department, bed 12 is with 72-year-old David. He has been rushed in by ambulance having fallen six feet off a ladder and at his side is his wife of 50 years, Di. There is concern that he may have fractured his spine.
