Over in Birmingham's Queen Elizabeth Hospital Day Surgery Unit, bed 41 is waiting for 25-year-old children's entertainer Sophie. She has come in to have reconstructive surgery on her fingertip after being attacked by a dog. Sophie is hoping that surgeons will be able to save as much of her finger as possible.

In Leeds Children's Hospital, 14-year-old Anna is having a frame removed, which doctors hope will have straightened the bone in her leg.
