Each one depends on the next. we are like a small work family take a member of that family and it doesn't work three two one continue with this search for a missing patient you take care of yourself from the surgeons to the sweepers just behave that's all I ask of you you did it well, these It's your

stories

, I just need to get it right, it's pretty intense, but it's what we do, morning boys, rise and shine, let's have some action here, put on your glasses so you can see the beauty you have taking care of you today.

As a new day begins, morning staff from 150 different professions in 105 departments are preparing for the next day. You're supposed to use water, boy, when you shower, not just stand there staring at your belly. Come on, then move because we want to. ends before Christmas, if possible go and get in that shower, most of the patients here have problems caused by alcohol, making this one of the most challenging warts in the hospital. Patients who have damaged livers from alcohol, we're giving them the opportunity to start the healing process by putting them on a detox. There are no crocodiles, honey, probably not, you're not going out yet, honey, try to stay safe, not sure, honey, every day.

Jane and her team help alcoholics cope with withdrawal symptoms. now in bed sometimes they get very agitated and aggressive because it's like quitting smoking at the end of the day now, if you fall, you fall on the floor and break your skull and then create a bunch of paperwork for us. I like taking care of patients like this. all for your own goals, I know it could happen to all of us, so come on, let me help you there, go and cuddle up at 11am. m, people start arriving from all over Derbyshire to visit their loved ones in hospital and everyone needs somewhere to park when you send someone to endless man, it's getting a huge man interested with up to 3000 visitors per day, the hospital depends on the parking lot team to keep traffic flowing.

Can you both return to the office? Please, can we freeze immediately. to the main road you have more people than spaces you have to go out eh, okay, okay, but sometimes the biggest problems are caused by the staff. I have a consultant. His car overturned on the bank in 6th. He touched the pedal, it goes straight, let's see if we can grab the tractor again, see if we can pull the rope a little, you have a giggle, don't walk while they look with it after parking. The team are not the only ones struggling to cope with the influx of people, with patient numbers increasing all the time.

The busiest part of the hospital is A. I've been drinking during the day today. He will come tonight. Consultant Dan is very agitated. in charge of recess where the most serious cases are treated part of the reason why I have done this job is because it is varied it is unpredictable and I think they have also chosen me because my attention span is short and I think most of my colleagues They would agree with that and most of my family would agree that I have a relatively short attention span. If he is fine, we have another patient who is very unwell.

We'll have to move you to a different area for a couple of minutes. I am happy that he is well and stable. I'll come see you very soon. We can regularly see between 30 and 35 patients per hour. Anything can happen, from a sprained finger to a car accident to multiple people dying, so it's a pressurized environment. if i said it wasn't scary then i would be lying, you could try waiting and just see, okay dan got an emergency call about a 20 year old patient who was on his way to recess, michael was unconscious and in 50 condition minutes, how are you?

Can you hear me near me? He is lying on the couch and has had around 6.30 he started having a partial seizure, yes, upon the arrival of the crew, which was around seven, he started having a full blown tonic. clonic seizure no trauma today he's literally just been on the couch michael get ready so let's get ready for the brain CT scan and check his b and make sure there's nothing else reversible. There may be something happening within the brain itself that is not allowing you to regain consciousness leaving the brain that is absolutely deadly and life changing, the other possibility is an infection, I think the longer it stays, the longer you stay unconscious, the more worried we are.

For him, Dan rushes Michael to get a CT scan of his brain. The fear for myself and the fear I have from day to day and going home at night is if I have missed something. Have I missed something that will cause that patient to have a bad outcome and that's a fear we all have and we'd be lying if we didn't so what happened last night? Oh, I was a little confused. I didn't have a drink, I swear on my mother's life. God killed me. I have a strong dead mother. I didn't drink anything, my brother last night, Sahir, 47, disappeared from the room for several hours to collect my clothes.

I have this truck suit. If you look at yourself now, you're like you've been in the flock. Now you would be safe, don't worry, this patient I don't know if he is yours. Zaire is yours. It's been ringing again in the night. Um and he's very sleepy. If Sahir has been drinking,

doctor

s may refuse to treat him further. he, where is my breathalyzer? We're here to help, so it's like a slap in the face when they know they've taken something. I'll try to outdo us, but I mean you have to get up early. To top me, you were acting strange, so what we're going to do is just give you this breathalyzer.

If you are clear, fine, we will continue with your treatment, but if it shows that you have consumed some alcohol, there may be alcohol involved. there's a chance that the

doctor

s will say yes, keep throwing your rock out of the room, so are you happy for us to go ahead and do the breathalyzer test? Yes, they are as clear as possible. Yes, thanks. Now we think if it's good for an incredible we won't move we'll let you go I'm concentrating now I'm going straight I'm going to do a job and I'm going to get a woman oh just stick with the job because if you start playing with women you'll come back here again Maybe it's okay with alcohol for most people a visit to the hospital is a one time event this afternoon we'll have you out walking but patients who need regular treatment come here Week after week I saw this Porsche advertised and thought I'd buy it so It makes me laugh.

Put it like this every time you go with your keys, every time you are in the chemotherapy room, Caroline treats up to 16 types of cancer. Patients in each shift. This environment is unique. It is the only place where you can get to know your patients very well. You can really chat and have a chance with them. I can't wear a wig, no, because I had one the first time. I had chemo and it looked absolutely ridiculous when I had the wig on, if I turned my head the wooden wig would stop, it goes with it, yeah you know what I mean, it's like the wig is there, now take me off of loose clothing.

The wig honestly I look absolutely ridiculous Six years ago Zoe was diagnosed with ovarian cancer This is her third cycle of chemotherapy When I finish my chemotherapy I always treat myself I bought a blackberry bag Can we ask how much your bag cost a thousand pounds? no a thousand pounds it was a thousand pounds you had things like that in the derby oh yeah yeah that's amazing zoe only has one more chemo session left before we find out if the treatment is working i have plans for my next treatment when uh it's over so i'm going to have some dewberry boots yes, I think it increases uh it's giving you pleasure and another focus because their time may be shorter than ours we live a full life the best they can is that michael raise your arm For me, Michael, raise your arm for me in a Michael has returned from his CT scan.

You can talk with me? He's already been unconscious for two hours. You can talk with me? There are no major signs of infection. He has no bleeding around his brain. and there are no fractures in his skull, the combination we have to give him a medication comes to Michael's family and after talking to them, Dan has the answer: he is 20 years old and has some kind of history of excessive alcohol and cannabis consumption during the day. today he has drunk a good liter of liquor and a little bit of beer too obviously he is drinking quite a lot he is getting older he can't save much yes 70 CEO eats a bottle of Bacardi alone, really Michael, can you hear it?

I raise my hands, even listen to me, he raises his hand if you can hear me, good man, and now it will take him a little time to wake up and turn around. He's going to spend the night there, okay, yeah, there were definitely a variety of possible life-threatening diagnoses and part of our thinking is to start ruling them out early on and work our way up to a level where we're happy and that took quite a while. time, yes. apparently he's um, I just found out that he's been, he's drunk, uh, about a liter of imported Polish vodka with um, homemade in Poland, which there are a lot of warning signs not to drink, um, because it's Potentially quite dangerous, okay, then you might have some learning to do. points, alcohol is a major cause of presentation to the emergency department, it is very available and it is very, very addictive and it is very, very difficult to get out of it.

Both the health and social complications of alcohol are enormous. See you tomorrow, ten percent of all patients in the hospital are here for an illness or injury caused by alcohol oh oh it's a whiskey sour who is this roommate who brought it in I think they just found it in his luggage what is this young man? I know you haven't touched it and we'll take this away from you now because we can't have this kind of thing in the room. Can we less abort in the live award? Jane is doing drugs at the moment guys let's get to work today is your birthday oh congratulations today 51 Imagine I'm only 30 Three days ago James was taken to the hospital when he collapsed after drinking heavily , there we go, so chicken, thanks honey, we'll take you to that shower again because your feet are buzzing a little, right?

Yeah, you walk out here looking like a movie star, you're done, so birthday boy, is anyone coming to see you today? No, I do not have any person. I have always liked shaving and that's why I always said I would love it. Try a cutthroat, you know, James was pretty bad when he came in, he hadn't showered or anything for weeks, that's what you have to do is try to stay on top of things. Don't know what kind of dog you have? So he is a colleague. Yes, I have a Carly Croft, this one is 15. Yes, keep in mind that this is about 12 and a half, so I think since you're about to go.

Yeah, yeah, I think he feels very alone and I think this is the problem with a lot of our patients, when someone shows them that kindness, it affects them because that's the real person you're talking to. Yeah, Carol, look at this, oh. My word, hey she, it's okay, I don't recognize myself when you come home, you might think, "Oh my God, I look like Keith Lemon." About a year ago my mother died so it obviously affected me quite a bit, I couldn't take care of myself or my dog ​​sees it, I'm in a dilemma right now whether to give up or try again and I hope they are trying to force me to try again, this is nothing you need to worry about while you're here with us, hey, you.

We're among friends, I mean, that's where you don't think you're going, sugar. Caring for patients does not depend only on nurses. One of the most important departments in the hospital has nothing to do with medicine. Did you take a look at your menu? of what you would like for his roast potato, okay, thank you very much. Lunch orders from the hospital's 45 wards are sent to the basement where a catering team prepares the meals. Today we have fish and chips. sandwiches, we have the puddings, that's great, Paul has worked at the hospital for four years, every lunchtime he and his team prepare and distribute hundreds of hot meals, salads and sandwiches, the hospital has hallways that stretch like a marathon so you're talking 28 miles I can't tell you how many miles I personally do because I never had a pedometer during chemo.

Today's sandwiches get mixed reviews when you've had kimbo. Everything tastes horrible, but they are honorable. the problem with your own doorstop there was like door

stops

no butter it's just red maybe the person who did it this morning was having a bad day yeah it's monday probably every night last night god help him for friday then, but I will, I will feed it Back to the lovelystuck together like velcro thank you and I'll see you in three months yeah fabulous you learn that cancer patients feel privileged to be alive every day and that we should be too.

I have started looking at the sunsets in the sky, the trees and the seasons, appreciating the little things in life. I'm 54 years old. September and then next year I will retire at 55 and start having a wonderful life tonight the hospital is holding an awards ceremony to celebrate staff who have worked in the NHS for 40 years. I remember when I started in the health service. The people who qualified for long service awards were older and now they're not, are you going to go? Come on, why not because take my scene? Oh come on, the thing is Carl, you don't need a plumbing certificate just to say you've been working for the NHS for 40 years.

I can draw my own flowering certificate, I don't need it. a certificate, although it's nonsense, even if she won the lottery, I didn't think she would retire, this is Jane's life, this is her baby, she lives here, she might as well move her bed, other than that, you'll be some age . football guys and I know I'm old too, but I look nothing like some of them. He is in room 7, yes, where is room 7? Up here, oh, thank you, thank you very much, in cardiology, Dan has come to see Eric. He resuscitated the patient in an e Hello, how are you okay?

I got a bottom up pacemaker and uh getting a proper pacemaker tomorrow is a bit of a shock yeah oh yeah I don't understand why someone was on my chest today well it's funny. In fact, I saw you, I saw you, you had signs of life and I could see you thinking what is he doing to me, what is that complete weirdo doing in the middle of the hospital, what is going on there, um, don't underestimate the kind of a little psychological of what happened so you can know that kind of consciousness and mortality that can make you feel a little weird for a little bit of content, I really think that once you understand what happened and you're back in Home, you're going to need to go back to the life as fast as you can, isn't it necessary?

It's a normality for you and trying to change the things you are doing really he promises that if it can disappear during the holidays, he will treat me thanks to you hey a pleasure, yes, take care of yourself, don't cause any problems, thank you very much for your help , it's a pleasure to meet you, I'm sorry, take care of yourself, thank you, goodbye from a minute, half of where I could have, with luck, 20 or 30 years of life and a lot to see the gratitude of family and friends and most importantly of That's why I do the work.

I think that if you find a job it's almost a vocation more than a career and that you leave every day thinking that if you've done a good job, then you've wasted half your life. I think a lot of people say, Oh, it's sad. You know I spend a lot of time here. I don't think it's sad. I enjoy the company. I enjoy laughing and yes, I mean, it can be lonely at home sometimes it's like a family god it's like a big blooming central station here today, isn't it my lord, but Jane's team has a surprise in store for her, but we think. um it should be celebrated because four years is a long time to give it yourself and you deserve it, you do it right, yes well done, yes I'm proud of my 40s but I'm not ready to be gradually spoiled yet.

I'll get to that stage where I think you know what I've done and now I'll die.
