Episode 1 - Echocardiogram. 

Deep visits Dr Ranj, who hears a funny noise when listening to Deep's heart. To make sure everything is okay, Dr Ranj gives Deep an echocardiogram, which lets him see inside Deep's chest and hear how his heart is working. Together, they discover that everything is fine with Deep's heart, and the funny sound Dr Ranj heard was just Deep's blood rushing around!

Episode 2 - Ng Tube. 

Dr Ranj visits Kiwa on one of the wards, who is going to be having an operation. Kiwa needs to have a naso-gastric tube fitted so the doctors can give her special food and medicine, which is placed up her nose and then down her throat to reach her tummy. Though it feels a bit funny at first, Dr Ranj explains that Kiwa will get used to the tube, and once it's fitted he gives her a special sticker for being so good!

Episode 3 - Ct Scan. 

Visiting the hospital is Jobi, who is having a CT scan to make sure everything is okay with his brain. Dr Ranj explains that the scan will allow him to take special photographs of inside Jobi's head, allowing him to make sure everything is working as it should be. When inside the machine - which Jobi thinks looks like a doughnut - Jobi must keep very still so Dr Ranj can perform the scan. Afterwards, Dr Ranj checks the scans to find that Jobi's brain is absolutely fine, before giving Jobi a special sticker for being so good during his visit.

Episode 4 - Plaster Cast. 

Visiting the hospital is Petal, who needs to have the cast on her fractured arm changed because it's dirty and is starting to fall apart. Petal is going to have her plaster cast replaced with a fibreglass one, but first she needs to have the old one cut off. Dr Ranj removes Petal's old cast and asks her what colour she wants her new cast to be. She picks her favourite colour - purple!

Episode 5 - Chest X-Ray. 

Visiting Dr Ranj at the hospital is Riz, who is having a chest x-ray to make sure his lungs are working properly. Riz is learning to play the recorder, so it's important for him to have plenty of puff! Dr Ranj explains how x-rays pass through Riz's body to take special photos that will show the inside of his chest.
