Episode 11

Documentary series following patients who enter hospitals across Britain. Andy, who has hurt his hip while kayaking and is in serious pain, visits Newcastle's A&E department.

In Romford's Queen's Hospital Maternity Unit, bed seven is looking after 29-year-old Lauren. When Lauren gave birth to her first son she had to have a caesarean section as the birth was considered high risk. This time she wants to have as natural a birth as possible.

At Birmingham's Queen Elizabeth Hospital Day Surgery Unit, 54-year-old Julie has arrived as she has discovered a cancerous patch on her left leg. This will be the second operation she has had after the first one didn't take all of the cancerous skin cells away.

At Newcastle's A&E department at the Royal Victoria Infirmary are 47-year-old action man Andy and his wife Allison. Andy has come in because he hurt his hip while kayaking, and he is in serious pain. He has been to A&E 20 times throughout his life, so he is no stranger to the hospital beds.
