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.
