Tori is having a planned caesarean after a traumatic experience with her first child.

Documentary series telling the story of patients who enter four hospitals across the country. Hospital employee Antony is preparing for a double hand operation after an accident.

The Royal Victoria Infirmary A&E in Newcastle sees over 2,000 people a week. A&E bed nine has been busy all morning and is about to meet 79-year-old Maria. She has had a bad fall at home and may have broken her nose.

Over in the Queen's Hospital in Romford, bed seven in the maternity unit has welcomed 36-year-old Tori, who is having a planned caesarean section. The birth of her first child was very traumatic and lasted for three days, so she is hoping this one will go more smoothly.

Newcastle's Great North Children's Hospital is one of 14 specialist children's centres in the UK, and eight-year-old Mason is being looked after in one of the beds. He has been in and out of hospital over the last four years with a condition that causes pressure on his brain. This time the illness has resulted in him having a seizure.

In Birmingham's Queen Elizabeth Hospital's Day Surgery Unit, bed 32 is playing host to hospital employee Antony. He has come in to have a double hand operation after an accident. Usually patients opt to have only one hand done at a time, but Anthony is keen to get his life back to normal as soon as possible.
