- In the A&E Department at Newcastle's Royal Victoria Infirmary, 63-year-old Howard has been rushed in with a head trauma having fallen off a ladder. He lost consciousness, and doctors are also worried that he may have broken his back.
At Birmingham's Queen Elizabeth Hospital, Shirley has come in to have a stent put into her heart. She had the procedure done before over ten years ago but needs to have it again as she has been having chest pains.
In the Great North Children's Hospital in Newcastle, two-year-old Mason has arrived. He has woken up with a swollen and very red face, and staff think it might be a serious infection called cellulitis.
Twenty-nine-year-old Haylee has been in bed seven in Romford's Queen's Hospital Maternity Unit for 24 hours. Hayley is a week overdue and starting to feel impatient about the birth.
Secret Life of a Hospital Bed is a unique 20-part series where across the 60-minute episodes, fixed-rig cameras tell the story of patients who enter four different hospitals across the UK. The hospitals are The Royal Victoria Infirmary in Newcastle, The Queen's Hospital in Romford, The Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Birmingham and The Great Northern Childrens Hospital in Newcastle. The circumstances, the ailment, the treatment, the length of stay - everything is personal to the individual involved. But the one constant throughout is the bed.
An unprecedented look inside Britain's hospitals.
With over 150,000 currently in use across the NHS, hospital beds witness the most important moments of our lives. Filmed over five weeks, the series features four hospitals and one of the beds in their units including: A&E, Maternity, Day Surgery and Paediatrics.
Every patient who enters hospital has a different story to tell of how and why they are there. The unique nature of the access means that viewers see the ways in which patients and staff interact, shining a spotlight onto the vital work carried out by the hospitals dedicated staff members, and giving an intimate and heart-warming portrayal of life, death, and everything in-between inside Britain's hospitals.

Peter needs his own reality show! Love him
Awe Peter, that smile and wave when he was leaving, bless him.
Peter and daughter are absolutely wonderful. I too had a dad who just had many in hospital laughing and his family doctor was fantastic ❤yes he drank too excess but he lived to 90 😍😍😍😍
Parking should be ***FREE*** in all hospitals and casinos should NOT be free parking!
Where I live it can cost almost 20 dollars a day.
I agree! I live in the US and it's different everywhere, depending on what hospital, in what city, and in which state. The local hospital that I frequent, quite literally due to severe, and very difficult to treat asthma it costs almost $2/hr with a cap of $10/day last I looked. Patient or visitor, we all pay alike. It infuriates me that I'm there, in their facility being charged not only my doctor's fee, and supplies used, but also, there's a charge for the use of the facility! Oh! If you happen to be given a pill to swallow, insurance won't cover it as it was "self administered"! I nearly fell out the first time I found out about that one! So, if you happen to have driven your self to the hospital, which I usually do, you park outside the ED for free, if you're admitted to the hospital, THEY move your car to the hospital parking deck across the street. If your in the hospital for a week, you'll have to pay the $70 to drive out of the deck. If you don't have a way to pay, they take down the license plate number of your car and give you slip to sign with all of your info. Your supposed to pay it within a set period of time, if you fail to do so, for whatever reason, there's no attempt to contact you, nor do they send it to a collections agency, BUT the next time you file your taxes, the fees owed will be deducted from your refund if you get one. ...not sure how that works if you don't have a refund, but they (the state) probably send you a bill... You know, I mean, it's not like you came to visit someone you came because you were sick!
I couldent agree more!
I agree, hospital is necessary to go to, casino is a luxary
I agree
Sending Peter and everyone else who's battling Cancer a prayer of healing ,strength and love, laughter and healing warmth and light 😇❤👊
Peter is awesome! I hope he is still doing well.
So do I .✝️💟☮️
In my state in the U.S.--and probably in others--we have Urgent Care Clinics which are for more serious problems than ones you'd go to your family doctor for but not serious enough to go to an Emergency room for. It frees up a lot of E.R. beds. If the doctor at the Urgent Care Clinic feels like your condition is serious enough to go for emergency treatment he tell you to go.
I went to the Urgent Care Clinic the day after I'd broken a bone in my foot the evening before. It didn't even cross my mind to go to an E.R. to have it looked at. There have been other, very serious problems that I've gone to the E.R. for at the suggestion of my family physician. (I almost died twice.)
Poor Peter!..... so unfair having to wait that long for such an important test only to get sent back home ! Feel like elderly people get overlooked too often, they deserve much more attention and care. To my eyes they are our memories, our history and the ones who pass on traditions and wisdom and many of them have fought for us to have the freedom we have today! Peter is so polite and a real sweetheart and full of dignity, he's scared but he won't show it. For such a life changing diagnosis he shouldn't be waiting and worrying so much.
They had 2 emergency surgeries come in. They only have so many Drs
@@amandahudson431
sure I get it......
But how many people out there want to work,
getting paid to build hospitals (and hospital beds)
getting training and payment to be doctors, nurses and surgeons?
They should have medical teams on standby.
Because we know, for sure, emergencies and accidents happen every day.
I really don't think there is an excuse for an underfunded and inadequate healthcare infrastructure.
We should be building for 110% future capacity,
instead of 80-85% or MORE under capacity.
We can go to war, we can go to space
And we can have so much over the top STUFF.
But we can't adequately care for the people
that brought us into this world and worked their whole lives
and paid their taxes?
Sorry, there is no excuse, for what happened to Peter and his daughter
who had to miss a day at HER job,
in my opinion.
sometimes you have to prioritize, even when you would not like to do it.
@@skylineXpert our priorities are in the wrong places in my opinion
All the best peter, and your beautiful daughter aswell
Excellent health care from the medical staff
Peters situation happens all over the world my father went through the same many a times . It just depend how many emergencies that come in , being from accidents ... not enough doctors , not enough time ... it’s a fact of life . Dad use to get so frustrated , so joking around helped him through it . In Australia we have a problem with people clogging up ED , when they could of gone to the local Dr . They huff and puff when people go ahead of them .
A bump on the elbow? Really? Ice and Tylenol. Done. Can't hurt to much. She is moving it and not even flinching
She had a metal insert, in the same elbow, when she was 2, perhaps that was the worry.
I have walked on a severly broken ankle. Breaks sometimes are less painful than sprains.
Peter is so lovely!!
It really annoys me that others clog up ER with something that could be handled by their GP or themselves!!
I agree. my husband and I are both disabled with many health issues. We only use the ER/A and E when it definitely can not wait. We use our primary care doctor and urgent care facility appropriately and only after trying to handle it at home first. If only more people would do that then the wait times at the ER would not be so bad. We check hospital wait times and go to the one that isn't so full.
@@shyone968 Same. With my heart condition, when I get tachycardia and pass out I am supposed to go to the ER for obsrrvation and tests but 98% of the time I do not. Don't want to be a bother. Then I see people going for a bruise, and I get so angry. A person can rupture a bowel, a appendix, or get a heart attack while Martha takes her son for a scrape on the knee.
Dee Fredericks He’s funny, for sure. I tried drinking a Guinness one time and 🤮. It was like drinking mud!!
@@shyone968 i too have many health problems. I havent been to an ER for myself in 13+ years. Ive had very serious health problems too but thats what a GP is for then they send u to where u need to go for tests etc.
Mr. Peter ..wishing you better health soon ..your daughter is a gem..moi, canada 🇨🇦 🤗
My ex gave the excuse " I've been but forgot to save it ", then hours after we got home, he was full and in pain. We got to the hospital and it was a few hours more before they could find a guy to cath him. Then they had to leave a foley in until the swelling went down. It was really a mess.
For the first time in my life, I got on an ambulance.
I think it was annoying because it was night.
Work at night is very important and I am saved because I am involved in medical care.
Thank you again.
I love the father and daughter I am in tears
Peter … what a total delight
I’ve met one of those beds at least a dozen to two dozen times due to several serious preexisting conditions that I’m dealing with. Add a few visits to the operating table as well.
Zariaamber Thank you so much. That means a lot to me. I am doing pretty well. I just have to be very very careful. Thank you again!!
Take care, Niklas! I really hope everything goes well.
Some people have overreacted. one of these kids didn't need to be in the emergency department. So many people waste everybody's time!
Interruption at about 20.20:
I've got a feeling that Sonny's red hair has something to do with it!
My son Thomas, also red haired, was a walking 'disaster zone'😊
You name it from bike riding to football, there was always an accident waiting to happen!
He's now 39, and has a wife and 2 children, and has not had a 'silly' accident in over a decade!😊
Omgoodness, it's taken so long😂😂😂❤
Thanks for the upload 😘 watching from South Korea 🇰🇷
@Miso Funne ..Greetings from Canada 🇨🇦 ..moi 🤗
😊😊😊 bless them
I absolutely agree with Peter I too have stage 4 Cancer and still like to drink cause it helps by keeping myself from thinking about it, but I have cut down from drinking everyday
It costs 14 dollars to park at our hospital and it's not for over night . This is in Kitchener Ontario Canada 😮😂😂❤
I wonder why I watch these.
Minty Mischief Me too!
2 hours in the waiting room is considered long, where I live you can easily wait 12 hours in the waiting room. Although my town is a bit faster with 5 hours wait times normally. Wow they hand out meds in the Er to take home like nothing. In Canada you may take home one dose if your not able to get to the pharmacy but usually you just get a script. Most hospitals in my area don't even give out crutches, instead you rent them from the pharmacy.
I'm in Ontario Canada and this is not how it works here(what u said).
It's always the coffee I miss. What I don't like is when they don't seem to have the time to get me any coffee when I can have it and I am never fed like this fella was. I go home to eat my own food.
160 guiness a week??? Blimey, these Brits. More than I've had my entire life lol might as well continue now ;)
yikes, I drank 6 a week and thought I was drinking too much!!!
@@kitchfacepalm not that I would tell an irish person this but ummm yeah its ALL Britain my dear. Even ireland, Scotland, whales and england. All Brits
He’s Irish, can never keep up with him
And his blood pressure was perfect!
1:07 “we’ll see the world through the bed’s eyes.” the bed has eyes?
I'm still waiting for Howard's broken back.
The descriptions are not accurate.
These kids with all these sports injuries.
Why do so many of the patients hold their heads up away from the bed when they are lying down? Just curious.
Better eye contact and keeps you more engaged.
How does someone drink 23 Guinness a day. What size are they? The UK has smaller portion sizes then the US...
The British pint is actually bigger than the US. It's 20oz compared to 16oz
I think men don’t go to Dr/hospital because they don’t want to look “weak”.
Pause it at 29:15, and check out the headline on the newspaper in the bag that Mr. "160 Guiness a week" is holding.
Nathan Byrum I couldn’t read it
@@warialdasue '---- hits the drink'
Is that tim off corrie narrating?
Sure does sound like him. Guess he is taking a break from Streetcars 😜
I live in the US I can't believe you have to pay for parking when you're there for help .But to get the help they get over in the UK I would pay for it .Are health care system is so bad it's sad . Doctors just don't care .😞Peter bless your heart ☮️💜✝️
Many hospitals in the US charge for parking, usually a flat fee not hourly though
@@emmajh45 Yes in the bigger hospital's they do charge you.
Neezas mother is so annoying, and controlling. She can't let her daughter answer herself.
The lad has broken lots of bones....is something deeper going on?
He plays sports and probably too hard not taking care. I broke several fingers and an ankle Sprain my ankles and a couple of concussions. By not taking care while playing sports
No. He plays football(not american or Canadian football-much more damage) and he plays rugby as well. He's clearly a very active boy. Thats all.
These things happen when children dont sit in front of the computer and game systems all day :)
