Description for Couchtuner Hospital S4E2: The Walton Centre is the UK’s only dedicated spine, brain and pain management centre and sits adjacent to the major trauma hospital, Aintree University Hospital. All brain injury patients go straight from the Aintree to The Walton. 20 per cent more people have come through the Walton Centre’s doors in the last five years and with constant emergency cases, it too, like any other hospital, is struggling with pressure on bed numbers and a full Intensive Therapy Unit (ITU).
22-year-old Sophie has been in ITU for almost 12 months. After what seemed, at first, to be just a common cold Sophie suffered serious inflammation of the brain stem. It damaged the part of the brain that tells her to breathe, controls eye movement and the muscles around her throat that affect swallowing and speaking. Between January and August, Sophie had to be resuscitated 20 times. Now, despite fully recovering in most ways and looking well, she still needs to be on a ventilator at night with it on standby during the day. She could stop breathing at any time. Sophie wants to go home but until funding and round the clock care can be organised there is nowhere for her to go. It is care she may need for the rest of her life. Until that happens, she is stuck living in ITU that, so far, has cost the hospital an estimated half a million pounds.
