0:04:20 > 0:04:22- All right.- OK, son?

0:04:22 > 0:04:25Yeah. Yeah, just...erm, not what I was expecting, that's all.

0:06:25 > 0:06:26Ah, don't worry,

0:06:26 > 0:06:29I've still got one or two old farmer's tricks up my sleeve.

0:07:11 > 0:07:13- Bobby!- I'm stuck! Help!

0:07:13 > 0:07:15What are you playing at?

0:07:40 > 0:07:43I'll put these in the wash for you.

0:07:44 > 0:07:46Hello, Simon. How are we doing?

0:07:46 > 0:07:50- Sorry about this morning, Tess. - No worries. We can catch up later.

0:07:50 > 0:07:54Right, he's got abdominal tenderness, temperature 39. Erm...

0:07:54 > 0:07:56Could be an underlying infection.

0:07:56 > 0:07:59Simon, do you mind if I have a feel of your stomach?

0:07:59 > 0:08:01Thanks.

0:08:01 > 0:08:02OK.

0:08:04 > 0:08:07Have you been feeling any nausea?

0:08:07 > 0:08:08Vomiting?

0:08:08 > 0:08:12- Oh, and his ankles are very swollen.- OK.

0:08:12 > 0:08:15- Have you had any diarrhoea before today?- No.

0:08:15 > 0:08:17- Any tummy bugs at all?- No.

0:08:17 > 0:08:19OK, let's get Us and Es,

0:08:19 > 0:08:20full blood count, glucose,

0:08:20 > 0:08:23- a stool sample and an abdo CT. - Do you know how long that'll take?

0:08:23 > 0:08:25- Not long.- I need to get out of here.

0:08:25 > 0:08:28We just need to work out if there's any on-going reason

0:08:28 > 0:08:29why you fainted like this morning.

0:08:36 > 0:08:39You apply it when you need it, all right?

0:08:39 > 0:08:41- Let's get a wiggle on! - It's non-stop, Jeff.

0:08:41 > 0:08:43I'll catch up with you as soon as I can.

0:08:45 > 0:08:47Dad! Daddy!

0:08:47 > 0:08:48- Dad! Dad!- Ssh!

0:08:50 > 0:08:53Raggy! Raggy! Raggy!

0:08:53 > 0:08:54Can we stop?!

0:08:56 > 0:08:58- What's up?- I need his comforter.

0:08:58 > 0:09:02I think I dropped it on the factory floor when I fainted.

0:09:02 > 0:09:03Right, you wait here.

0:09:03 > 0:09:06I'll go and get it for you, OK? Don't worry.

0:09:11 > 0:09:13BOBBY SOBS

0:09:13 > 0:09:15Hey.

0:09:15 > 0:09:16Nice outfit.

0:09:16 > 0:09:19It's harvest festival today at school.

0:09:19 > 0:09:21I'm missing it.

0:09:21 > 0:09:24Harvest Festival? Do you sing the vegetable song?

0:09:24 > 0:09:26Cauliflowers fluffy?

0:09:26 > 0:09:29# And cabbages green!

0:09:29 > 0:09:31# Strawberries are sweeter

0:10:24 > 0:10:27Harvest Festival is a time to celebrate.

0:10:27 > 0:10:30It is a time to be thankful.

0:10:30 > 0:10:33Year One have all thought of things we are thankful for.

0:10:33 > 0:10:35I am thankful for my dad.

0:10:35 > 0:10:37He is my best friend.

0:10:37 > 0:10:39He looks after me and I look after him.

0:10:42 > 0:10:43Dad? Are you...?

0:10:45 > 0:10:46Tolly?

0:10:46 > 0:10:48Tolly.

0:10:49 > 0:10:52This is Bobby. He's been off school for a couple of days with a bug

0:10:52 > 0:10:55and then he got his fingers trapped at his dad's carrot plant

0:10:55 > 0:10:57- so we've given him a bit of Entonox for the pain.- OK.

0:10:57 > 0:10:59Straight through to cubicles.

0:10:59 > 0:11:01This is his mum, she's eight months pregnant.

0:11:01 > 0:11:04She fainted earlier and lost consciousness for a few seconds.

0:11:04 > 0:11:07- That was just the shock. - Also had abdominal pains.

0:11:07 > 0:11:10- It might be early signs of labour. - No, I've just got Bobby's bug.

0:11:10 > 0:11:12OK, Lloyd, I'm going to take the mum for an ultrasound.

0:11:12 > 0:11:14Will you look at Bobby's fingers please?

0:11:14 > 0:11:18Hey, let's not let Raggy get away again, eh? Bobby?

0:11:18 > 0:11:20- Zoe!- Yeah.

0:11:20 > 0:11:22Something's not right.

0:11:22 > 0:11:24OK, change of plan. Let's get him into Paeds.

0:11:24 > 0:11:27OK, he seems tachycardic and dehydrated.

0:11:27 > 0:11:30I want 500 mls of saline, LFTs, Us and Es,

0:11:30 > 0:11:32- glucose and a full blood count.- OK.

0:11:32 > 0:11:35- What's happening? - Did Bobby hit his head when he fell?

0:11:35 > 0:11:37Well, I... I don't think so. He might have done.

0:11:37 > 0:11:40I'm not sure. I passed out. I didn't see.

0:11:40 > 0:11:43- OK, I want to ask you a few questions when you're ready, OK?- OK.

0:11:43 > 0:11:45Tachycardic. BP is 90 over 60.

0:11:48 > 0:11:50OK, we've got a very distended abdomen.

0:11:50 > 0:11:53Rob? I need you at the hospital, as soon as you can.

0:11:54 > 0:11:56Yeah, high temperature.

0:11:58 > 0:12:01Guarding, rebound tenderness.

0:12:01 > 0:12:03- Appendicitis?- Yeah, it could be.

0:12:03 > 0:12:06OK, let's have an abdo CT as well as the CT head.

0:12:06 > 0:12:09You said that Bobby's been poorly for the last few days?

0:12:09 > 0:12:11Yeah, er...just a tummy bug.

0:12:11 > 0:12:14I took him to the GP but he wasn't that concerned.

0:12:14 > 0:12:16OK. Has he been eating and drinking?

0:12:16 > 0:12:19He's been off his food. I've been trying to get him to drink, but...

0:12:19 > 0:12:21I can't remember.

0:12:21 > 0:12:24The last time I know he had a drink was yesterday before he went to bed

0:12:24 > 0:12:25and that was just a sip of water.

0:12:25 > 0:12:27Did the GP run any tests?

0:12:27 > 0:12:30Erm... He did a stool and a urine test.

0:12:30 > 0:12:32We're just waiting for the results.

0:12:32 > 0:12:34Right, well, they'll be here in our labs.

0:12:34 > 0:12:36I'll go and chase them up, yeah?

0:12:36 > 0:12:39- Lloyd, keep up with the fluids.- OK.

0:12:39 > 0:12:42Come on! Mind these doors! This is our new crop of junior doctors!

0:12:42 > 0:12:44Jeff! What's going on?

0:12:44 > 0:12:46Harvest Festival comes to hospital!

0:12:46 > 0:12:48These kids are at the same school as Bobby in Resus.

0:12:48 > 0:12:51Can you keep them together in cubicle two, please, Linda!

0:12:51 > 0:12:52It's tough out there.

0:12:52 > 0:12:55These are the nursery slopes, my old son! Wait until we hit a black run.

0:12:55 > 0:12:57OK, not Resus.

0:12:57 > 0:13:00Right, this is little Tolly, collapsed during a school assembly.

0:13:00 > 0:13:04BP's been 120, systolic throughout and GCS has been 14.

0:13:04 > 0:13:06And now he is a little bit floppy and uncommunicative.

0:13:06 > 0:13:08Are you his mum?

0:13:08 > 0:13:09Head teacher, Ann Dove.

0:13:09 > 0:13:12Dad's phone is not responding so I'm with Tolly until he gets here.

0:13:12 > 0:13:15- OK. Straight through.- Hello, I'm Dr Hanna, the clinical lead here.

0:13:15 > 0:13:18Can you tell me what symptoms the kids have had?

0:13:18 > 0:13:21Nothing that worrying. Slight temperature, vomiting, diarrhoea.

0:13:21 > 0:13:23There's a bug going around.

0:13:23 > 0:13:26- And we've had a lot of absences. Can I...?- Yeah, go ahead.

0:13:26 > 0:13:28Tom, Fletch,

0:13:28 > 0:13:30Us and Es, full blood counts,

0:13:30 > 0:13:33glucose and stool samples, off all of them, yeah?

0:13:33 > 0:13:36OK. Harvest Festival, follow me!

0:13:36 > 0:13:38Come on, kids. Come on!

0:13:40 > 0:13:43Louise? Can you get in touch with Paeds,

0:13:43 > 0:13:44let them know what's going on here?

0:13:44 > 0:13:48And call the lab, ask for the results for Bobby Arkwright's cultures.

0:13:48 > 0:13:49I need them ASAP.

0:13:49 > 0:13:52- They'll get that information via the GP.- So what are we thinking?

0:13:52 > 0:13:55It's got to be some kind of infectious diarrhoea.

0:13:55 > 0:13:58I'd better inform the local Health Protection Unit.

0:13:58 > 0:14:00Aren't you jumping the gun?

0:14:00 > 0:14:02No. Jeff said the kids are from the same school as Bobby in Resus.

0:14:02 > 0:14:04There's clearly a pattern.

0:14:04 > 0:14:06- It's got to be some kind of outbreak. - What about Simon King?

0:14:06 > 0:14:10He's not connected to the school and he's got the same symptoms.

0:14:11 > 0:14:14You're absolutely right.

0:14:15 > 0:14:18I don't know.

0:14:18 > 0:14:21- The paste I put on means it's not going to hurt you.- No!

0:14:21 > 0:14:24Come on, Tolly. It's just a needle.

0:14:24 > 0:14:27It's going to make you feel so much better. Promise.

0:14:27 > 0:14:30OK... We've got a choice here.

0:14:30 > 0:14:32He needs fluids, and soon

0:14:32 > 0:14:36so either we can give him some gas and air to calm him down.

0:14:36 > 0:14:37Failing that, we sedate him.

0:14:37 > 0:14:41Well, let's try gas and air.

0:14:41 > 0:14:45But I don't know if I can persuade him to take it.

0:14:45 > 0:14:47OK, Tolly, how about we play a game?

0:14:47 > 0:14:51All right? Now, it's going to make your pain go away

0:14:51 > 0:14:53and make everything a lot less scary.

0:14:53 > 0:14:57Now, I want you to take this, and I want you to take a big deep breath

0:14:57 > 0:15:00and I want you to imagine that you're a big deep sea diver.

0:15:00 > 0:15:02OK? All right.

0:15:04 > 0:15:06Come on, you can do it.

0:15:06 > 0:15:07Come on, mate.

0:15:07 > 0:15:09Go on...

0:15:09 > 0:15:11Deep sea diver. In your mouth. OK?

0:15:11 > 0:15:13And breathe in.

0:15:13 > 0:15:16- That's it. Breathe out. One more. - It might make him a bit giggly.

0:15:16 > 0:15:19That's it. There, you're a natural.

0:15:19 > 0:15:20Green like seaweed.

0:15:21 > 0:15:23Actually, I'm a vegetable.

0:15:24 > 0:15:27- What vegetable is that? - My dad's favourite vegetable.

0:15:27 > 0:15:29What's that, then? A bean?

0:15:29 > 0:15:31No. A lettuce, of course!

0:15:31 > 0:15:33What's "of course" about a lettuce?

0:15:33 > 0:15:36Because a lettuce has negative calories.

0:15:37 > 0:15:38I didn't know that.

0:15:46 > 0:15:49He hurt his fingers. How did he end up like this?

0:15:49 > 0:15:52- Mr Arkwright?- Yeah.- It's OK.

0:15:52 > 0:15:54We're trying to figure out that.

0:15:54 > 0:15:56Your son came in with an injured hand.

0:15:56 > 0:15:59- Yes, I know. I don't understand how...- He collapsed.

0:15:59 > 0:16:01That's what we're trying to investigate.

0:16:01 > 0:16:04We thought at first it might be appendicitis,

0:16:04 > 0:16:08- or maybe fine bleeding in the skull. - The scan ruled both of those out.

0:16:08 > 0:16:13Those kids outside. They're from Bobby's school, his class.

0:16:13 > 0:16:16It's that tummy bug Bobby's got. One of them collapsed.

0:16:16 > 0:16:19Um, Lloyd, could you phone the labs, please,

0:16:19 > 0:16:21and chase up those culture results?

0:16:21 > 0:16:25I knew I should have taken him back to the GP.

0:16:25 > 0:16:27These cultures.

0:16:27 > 0:16:31You think this could be some kind of serious bacteria, don't you, Doctor?

0:16:31 > 0:16:33Um...er...

0:16:33 > 0:16:35At the moment, it would be pointless to speculate.

0:16:35 > 0:16:37That's what it is though, isn't it?

0:16:37 > 0:16:39We don't want to jump to any conclusions yet.

0:16:39 > 0:16:42I'm a farmer. I distribute to supermarkets. This is my world.

0:16:42 > 0:16:44You can talk to me straight.

0:16:44 > 0:16:46I can't confirm anything until we get the results back.

0:16:46 > 0:16:50But you do think this could be an infectious bacteria, don't you?

0:16:54 > 0:16:57It's an E coli. It's VTEC 0157.

0:16:57 > 0:17:00We've got confirmation on a set of cultures from Bobby Arkwright.

0:17:00 > 0:17:04- These kids are from the same school. - We think it's linked to the source

0:17:04 > 0:17:06of the outbreak so we're informing the headmistress.

0:17:06 > 0:17:09Parental and public panic is as infectious and difficult to manage

0:17:09 > 0:17:13as any bacteria, so let's try and keep this as low key as possible?

0:17:13 > 0:17:16I don't want to have to close the department down over this.

0:17:16 > 0:17:19OK, so we're going to start strict barrier nursing.

0:17:19 > 0:17:21I want to keep them in cubicles one to six.

0:17:21 > 0:17:24- I'll alert the team and get Infection Control in. - Do you want me to head that up?

0:17:24 > 0:17:27- Yes. Thank you.- Great.

0:17:27 > 0:17:29Linda, would you chase up Simon King's results?

0:17:29 > 0:17:33- That incident in the ambulance could be E coli related, so medicate accordingly.- OK.

0:17:33 > 0:17:35And, Louise? Could you give this to Dylan?

0:17:35 > 0:17:38He's in resus with Bobby. It'll have an impact on his treatment.

0:17:38 > 0:17:41I'm going to get on to the CCDC at the HPU

0:17:41 > 0:17:44and let them start investigating. OK, thank you.

0:17:44 > 0:17:46- I've got his blood test results here.- Thank you.

0:17:46 > 0:17:49Can we know what's happening, please?

0:17:49 > 0:17:51Can we catheterise please?

0:17:51 > 0:17:55Erm, your son is very severely dehydrated.

0:17:55 > 0:17:57The fluids we're trying to push through

0:17:57 > 0:18:00aren't doing their job properly so I want to measure his urine output

0:18:00 > 0:18:02so we can test his kidney function.

0:18:02 > 0:18:05I've got the results from the lab cultures from Bobby's GP visit.

0:18:05 > 0:18:06Ah. Thank you.

0:18:07 > 0:18:10- What?- OK, can we get somebody from Paeds down here?

0:18:10 > 0:18:12- And call Paediatric Intensive Care. - Can I see those, please?

0:18:12 > 0:18:15Can you ask Dr Hanna to step in here, please?

0:18:18 > 0:18:21I knew it! When were you going to tell us?

0:18:21 > 0:18:25- I've only just found out myself. - Yeah, but...you knew. You guessed.

0:18:25 > 0:18:27I have to medicate based on fact, not conjecture.

0:18:27 > 0:18:29What is it? Will you tell me?!

0:18:29 > 0:18:32It's E coli! My wife is eight months pregnant.

0:18:32 > 0:18:36As far as I know, E coli should have no negative implications for mother or baby.

0:18:36 > 0:18:39Are you going to tell the other parents out there

0:18:39 > 0:18:41or are you going to leave them in the dark too?

0:18:41 > 0:18:42We will be doing everything we can

0:18:42 > 0:18:45as swiftly as we can, according to strict guidelines

0:18:45 > 0:18:48we have in place for dealing with situations like this.

0:18:48 > 0:18:49Bobby? Bobby?

0:18:49 > 0:18:51Draw up some lorazepam, please!

0:18:51 > 0:18:52What's happening to him?

0:18:52 > 0:18:54Get Zoe in here now!

0:18:57 > 0:19:00Look. I understand what you're saying

0:19:00 > 0:19:03but it's impossible to keep such information from patients,

0:19:03 > 0:19:05especially when you're diagnosing.

0:19:05 > 0:19:06No...

0:19:06 > 0:19:08No, hang on!

0:19:10 > 0:19:12She's on the phone to the local HPU.

0:19:12 > 0:19:15Yes, I understand you need some more time

0:19:15 > 0:19:19but we need someone here to speak to the patients!

0:19:19 > 0:19:23Fine! Fine. We'll just have to do our best, won't we?

0:19:23 > 0:19:27- Dr Hanna?- Not now. Listen to this. They're running tests on the school.

0:19:27 > 0:19:31They say it's too early to confirm it as an outbreak, they need more time.

0:19:31 > 0:19:35- It's a school community. They talk to each other anyway.- Exactly!

0:19:35 > 0:19:38Dr Hanna? You're needed in Resus urgently. It's Bobby.

0:19:38 > 0:19:40What?

0:19:41 > 0:19:45- Dylan?- We've just stopped him fitting. He's in renal failure.

0:19:45 > 0:19:48He may need dialysis. Have you called ITU?

0:19:48 > 0:19:51- BP's 100 over 60, he's tachycardic. - I don't understand. He was fine!

0:19:51 > 0:19:54This is Bobby Arkwright. He's VTEC 0157.

0:19:54 > 0:19:57I thought E coli was just bad diahorrea.

0:19:57 > 0:20:00- I think we're looking at Haemolytic Uremic Syndrome.- Is that serious?

0:20:00 > 0:20:04It's severe food poisoning. People die from it.

0:20:04 > 0:20:06Oh! OK. All right.

0:20:06 > 0:20:08- There you go.- Can we get a deep clean over here immediately?

0:20:08 > 0:20:10I'd appreciate you taking a look.

0:20:10 > 0:20:11Yeah, thanks.

0:20:11 > 0:20:13All the results point to E coli.

0:20:13 > 0:20:16But I don't understand why his immune system's not fighting it.

0:20:16 > 0:20:18Maybe there's some underlying problem.

0:20:21 > 0:20:24Great(!) Gone walkabout with an infectious bacteria.

0:20:24 > 0:20:26If we'd known there was E coli about

0:20:26 > 0:20:28we would have pushed the GP for a diagnosis.

0:20:28 > 0:20:31Don't blame yourself. It's nobody's fault, is it?

0:20:31 > 0:20:35It is someone's fault. The public need to know.

0:20:35 > 0:20:37We should go to the press, Doctor.

0:20:37 > 0:20:40That would be a very bad idea. It'd be scaremongering.

0:20:40 > 0:20:43It never helps. OK, OK.

0:20:43 > 0:20:46Would you speak on our behalf, to the press?

0:20:46 > 0:20:50We've already spoken to the local HPU and they'd like us to contain the information within the hospital

0:20:50 > 0:20:53just until they can confirm where the outbreak is coming from.

0:20:53 > 0:20:56It's coming from the school, it's obvious!

0:20:56 > 0:21:00Why don't you go with your son? You'll need to leave your apron.

0:21:04 > 0:21:09Your duty of care is to the public, not the health authorities, isn't it?

0:21:09 > 0:21:12Get your priorities right.

0:21:16 > 0:21:19He's angry and he's informed. You need to watch him.

0:21:19 > 0:21:20I see his point though.

0:21:20 > 0:21:22So, we're doctors, we're not politicians.

0:21:22 > 0:21:26We've informed the relevant authorities and that's where we leave it.

0:21:34 > 0:21:38- TANNOY:- Could Simon King please come to the barrier nursing zone?

0:21:38 > 0:21:41Simon King, please come to the barrier nursing zone.

0:21:41 > 0:21:44- Where's he gone?- Don't know.

0:21:44 > 0:21:47He can't have gone far, he's still in his gown.

0:21:47 > 0:21:50Rob? How is he? What did they say?

0:21:50 > 0:21:52- It's E coli. - CROWD:- E coli?

0:21:52 > 0:21:58Haemolytic-uremic syndrome. His kidneys are failing. Look. It could happen to your kids.

0:21:58 > 0:22:00This is what happens with E coli. Ask the doctor.

0:22:00 > 0:22:03They're keeping information from you.

0:22:03 > 0:22:05- RAISED VOICES - Excuse me, Dr Hanna?

0:22:05 > 0:22:08THEY ALL SPEAK AT ONCE

0:22:08 > 0:22:12I understand that you're all worried about your children, I do,

0:22:12 > 0:22:14but please let me reassure you that it is

0:22:14 > 0:22:16extremely rare for E coli to develop

0:22:16 > 0:22:19into the more serious haemolytic-uremic syndrome.

0:22:19 > 0:22:22- Is it life-threatening? - It has with Bobby.

0:22:22 > 0:22:24We're working hand-in-hand with the Health Protection Unit

0:22:24 > 0:22:27at the moment to find out exactly where the source of the outbreak is.

0:22:27 > 0:22:29We need to know.

0:22:29 > 0:22:31I know, I know, and I understand this is difficult.

0:22:31 > 0:22:34You know, don't wear this aprons outside of the zone.

0:22:34 > 0:22:38The bacteria is extremely infectious, it can spread it.

0:22:38 > 0:22:41So, stick to the regulations, for the safety of your children

0:22:41 > 0:22:43and for the rest of the hospital. Thank you.

0:22:46 > 0:22:48STEADY RHYTHMIC BEEPING

0:23:23 > 0:23:26So go on then. How am I doing?

0:23:27 > 0:23:29You're definitely not well!

0:23:30 > 0:23:32Doctor Tolly?

0:23:32 > 0:23:35Can you be the first person to put your name to this?

0:23:35 > 0:23:39- We're all signing it for Bobby. - Well, looks like most of our reception.

0:23:39 > 0:23:42Mmm. We went on a trip to Bobby's father's carrot farm.

0:23:42 > 0:23:45- Didn't we, Tolly? - Great, actually. Really informative.

0:23:45 > 0:23:46Good.

0:23:50 > 0:23:53What's up mate? Oh, you need the toilet?

0:23:53 > 0:23:55- Maybe we could use the big one. - Sure.

0:23:55 > 0:23:58OK, right, off you get.

0:23:58 > 0:24:04Got your slippers. There's one, there's two and off we go.

0:24:12 > 0:24:13Round we go.

0:24:13 > 0:24:17- And I'll just be outside, all right? - Yeah.

0:24:19 > 0:24:23- Dad! Dad! Dad! - Can I have some help in here?

0:24:23 > 0:24:27Now, listen to me. I want you to stand there, all right? Stay there. Mac!

0:24:27 > 0:24:30- Can you get him out of here? It's his son.- OK, there's a good boy.

0:24:30 > 0:24:32GURGLES AND GASPS

0:24:32 > 0:24:33What's going on?

0:24:33 > 0:24:38- Right, we need to get him up. - All right. Ready, one, two, three.

0:24:39 > 0:24:42- All right.- Yeah.

0:24:43 > 0:24:45You'll have to go again.

0:24:45 > 0:24:48- HE RETCHES AND GASPS - That's it.

0:24:48 > 0:24:53- All right. OK.- OK, try and relax, just breathe.

0:24:53 > 0:24:58Thanks. Airway's clear. OK.

0:25:01 > 0:25:03- Give them up, before you give up. - I'm not in the mood.

0:25:03 > 0:25:06If it happened to Big Mac, it could happen to you.

0:25:12 > 0:25:14CRUNCH OF GEARS

0:25:14 > 0:25:16ERRATIC REVVING

0:25:20 > 0:25:23What the hell do you think you're doing!? Are you mad?

0:25:23 > 0:25:26Oh! I'm so sorry, erm. Is this parking?

0:25:26 > 0:25:29Only we're looking for the hospital. My wife's a bit under the weather.

0:25:29 > 0:25:32OK, you've had a nasty shock. Just stay in the car, OK?

0:25:32 > 0:25:34- Jeff!?- Aggie?- Can I have some help over here please?

0:25:34 > 0:25:39Hang in there Aggie, we're here now. We're here.

0:25:39 > 0:25:41Stay calm, I work here at the hospital.

0:25:41 > 0:25:47- You all right, mate? What's her name?- Agnes.

0:25:47 > 0:25:50Agnes? Can you hear me? Can you hear me?

0:25:50 > 0:25:54Squeeze my hand if you can. That's a good girl.

0:25:54 > 0:25:58Does it hurt? Yeah, where does it hurt?

0:25:58 > 0:26:02- OK, how long's she been like this? - This morning.

0:26:02 > 0:26:03Here.

0:26:03 > 0:26:07It's-it's all right, darling, I've got it if we need it.

0:26:07 > 0:26:08- Shall we get her in?- Yeah.

0:26:08 > 0:26:11All right, princess, we're going to move you now, OK? Nice and slowly.

0:26:11 > 0:26:14You've done really well getting her here.

0:26:20 > 0:26:22Thanks, Jeff.

0:26:23 > 0:26:25SATS are 97, she's tachycardic.

0:26:25 > 0:26:29OK. I want a full blood count, Us and Es, LFTs, glucose,

0:26:29 > 0:26:32C-reactive protein, a urine dipstick and a MSU.

0:26:32 > 0:26:36She's very dehydrated, Lloyd, so make sure you run a bag of fluids in.

0:26:36 > 0:26:40Agnes, can you tell me when you last had something to drink?

0:26:40 > 0:26:44No? OK. Mr Hearn, can you tell me the last time your wife had something to drink?

0:26:44 > 0:26:49Oh. Well, I-I don't know about drinking but she's been off her food ever since the party.

0:26:49 > 0:26:50Erm, what party was that?

0:26:50 > 0:26:55Oh, we celebrated our 60th wedding anniversary last week.

0:26:55 > 0:26:58Congratulations. 60, that's diamond, isn't it?

0:26:58 > 0:27:01- MUTTERS: Yeah. - Absolutely no idea how you do it.

0:27:01 > 0:27:03You just, what, managed to paper, didn't you?

0:27:03 > 0:27:05Ha(!) At least I tied the knot.

0:27:05 > 0:27:09Agnes, I'm going to feel your belly. You will feel a little pressure.

0:27:09 > 0:27:13- Oh.- Yes, it's tender. Very, very hot.

0:27:13 > 0:27:15OK, Mr Hearn?

0:27:15 > 0:27:17Has your wife been having any problems

0:27:17 > 0:27:20- with her bowel movements recently? - Um, a bit of a funny tummy.

0:27:20 > 0:27:22Any blood in the stool?

0:27:22 > 0:27:26The reason we ask this is because Agnes's tummy

0:27:26 > 0:27:28is very swollen and painful and we just want to find out if

0:27:28 > 0:27:31there's any infection, has she been passing any blood?

0:27:31 > 0:27:34Well, she hasn't mentioned anything like that, no.

0:27:34 > 0:27:36- SHE GASPS - Hmm? My darling.

0:27:38 > 0:27:40SHE WHISPERS

0:27:40 > 0:27:44Oh, Aggie. You should have told me.

0:27:44 > 0:27:50- Is there anything your wife would like us to know? - She has been passing blood.

0:27:50 > 0:27:54OK. Thank you Agnes. That's really important that you tell us that.

0:27:54 > 0:27:57Can you tell me how many days has this been going on for?

0:27:57 > 0:28:00Three days? Yeah?

0:28:03 > 0:28:05Looks like more of the same, doesn't it?

0:28:05 > 0:28:08Yeah but it means that it's not just isolated to the school.

0:28:08 > 0:28:11- I'll have to call the HPU again. Great(!) Lloyd?- Mmm?

0:28:11 > 0:28:13- Could you call ITU, please?- Yeah.

0:28:15 > 0:28:18Mr Hearn, we're going to get the surgical team down here

0:28:18 > 0:28:21to assess Agnes and they'll be able to monitor her more carefully.

0:28:21 > 0:28:23Give her the specialist treatment she needs.

0:28:23 > 0:28:25Oh, isn't that marvellous, Agnes?

0:28:25 > 0:28:29- (Thank you.) - Thank you so much, Nurse.

0:28:29 > 0:28:33Actually, I'm a doctor. In fact I'm a consultant here.

0:28:33 > 0:28:37Oh! Congratulations, I'm so sorry.

0:28:37 > 0:28:42You know in our day we rarely saw a lady doctor let alone a consultant.

0:28:42 > 0:28:44Don't worry. It's not a problem.

0:28:44 > 0:28:47Don't.

0:28:48 > 0:28:51Can we get her into a gown, please?

0:28:53 > 0:28:57I'd like to run a few more tests. You've obviously caught the E coli bacteria off your son.

0:28:57 > 0:29:00No, he didn't. I caught it off him.

0:29:00 > 0:29:03He's had it for a long, long time.

0:29:03 > 0:29:06What's he had for a long, long time, Tolly?

0:29:06 > 0:29:09- His sick bug. - What are you talking about?

0:29:09 > 0:29:13Go on, Tolly. Go on. It'll help me help Dad.

0:29:13 > 0:29:15After supper he always goes to the loo.

0:29:15 > 0:29:16Too much information!

0:29:16 > 0:29:20And then he's sick. I stand by the door and I hear him.

0:29:20 > 0:29:21Inappropriate.

0:29:21 > 0:29:23But true?

0:29:28 > 0:29:30HE SOBS

0:29:33 > 0:29:35I'm sorry, dude.

0:29:40 > 0:29:42Will we be seeing you again, Doctor?

0:29:42 > 0:29:46Oh, um... ITU have their own team.

0:29:46 > 0:29:50I mean, I have been known to check up on a patient on occasion but...

0:29:50 > 0:29:54in this case, not unless I was specifically asked for.

0:29:54 > 0:29:57In that case I'd just like to thank you. Thank you for everything you've done.

0:29:57 > 0:29:59- She's arrested.- OK.

0:29:59 > 0:30:00Oh, w-what's happening?

0:30:00 > 0:30:02- Get the defib.- She's gone into cardiac arrest.- Oh!

0:30:02 > 0:30:06We'll do everything we can to bring her back, OK?

0:30:06 > 0:30:08OK. Lloyd? Take one of those please.

0:30:08 > 0:30:09- Stand back.- Everybody away.

0:30:09 > 0:30:13No, I need to ask you to stand back there while we resuscitate.

0:30:13 > 0:30:16- No. Please, Doctor!- Oxygen away. Everyone away.- Mr Hearn.

0:30:16 > 0:30:18She's DNR!

0:30:18 > 0:30:19OK. Continue CPR.

0:30:19 > 0:30:23- Do you have the documents? - Err, yes.- Right, I need to see them.

0:30:23 > 0:30:29- I'm her husband. We've been married for 60 years. I know my wife!- Yeah, I need to see the documentation,

0:30:29 > 0:30:31- otherwise we have to continue. - They're in the car.

0:30:31 > 0:30:34- All right. I'll go with you. - You can't, you're not senior enough. I'll go.

0:30:34 > 0:30:38- OK, Zoe, continue, please.- Yeah, OK. Let's carry on from where we were.

0:30:38 > 0:30:41- In the glove compartment.- OK.

0:30:42 > 0:30:45OK, just one sec, one sec.

0:30:50 > 0:30:51Yeah, Zoe, it's all here.

0:30:51 > 0:30:54We had to shock her again, Dylan. She's back.

0:30:56 > 0:31:01Right, OK. Erm... Well, what do we do now? I don't really know.

0:31:01 > 0:31:03Well, she hasn't regained consciousness. She's intubated.

0:31:03 > 0:31:06- She's going up to ITU. - OK, thanks.

0:31:06 > 0:31:07HANGS UP

0:31:08 > 0:31:10Has she gone?

0:31:10 > 0:31:13Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no. No, she's still with us.

0:31:13 > 0:31:14How is she?

0:31:14 > 0:31:17They're taking her up to Intensive Care.

0:31:17 > 0:31:22- She's unconscious at the moment. - Oh.- OK?- Yeah.

0:31:22 > 0:31:24- Shall we...shall we go back? - Yes, yes.

0:31:30 > 0:31:32How are you? What did they say?

0:31:32 > 0:31:35Everything's fine.

0:31:35 > 0:31:37How's Bobby?

0:31:38 > 0:31:42They're putting him on dialysis and keeping him in Intensive Care.

0:31:45 > 0:31:46TEXT MESSAGE ALERT TONE

0:31:50 > 0:31:52Back in a sec.

0:31:52 > 0:31:56Where are you going? What are you doing, Rob?

0:31:59 > 0:32:02Come with me. The press are downstairs.

0:32:02 > 0:32:05What, you're not going to talk to them?

0:32:05 > 0:32:09People need to know what's happened. People need to be informed.

0:32:09 > 0:32:14You called them, didn't you? I do not want Bobby to be news.

0:32:14 > 0:32:16He needs us here by his side, not selling his story.

0:32:16 > 0:32:21I'm not selling his story! What do you take me for!?

0:32:21 > 0:32:24Stay here with us. Please.

0:32:27 > 0:32:29OK, Tess, how are these two getting on?

0:32:29 > 0:32:31Much better. Rehydrated, improving.

0:32:31 > 0:32:36Good, thanks. Tom? Can you fill me in on these?

0:32:37 > 0:32:41Zoe? He throws up after dinner.

0:32:41 > 0:32:43Loves lettuce for its negative calories.

0:32:43 > 0:32:46Fluid retention, mouth ulcers and eroded tooth enamel.

0:32:46 > 0:32:50- Bulimia?- Yeah.- Ah. - He's severely weakened his system.

0:32:50 > 0:32:52Catching the E coli from his son was the tipping point.

0:32:52 > 0:32:55I'll try and persuade him to see a clinic, get some support.

0:32:55 > 0:32:58- Great, keep me posted, yeah?- OK.

0:33:01 > 0:33:03Mr Hearn? Are you all right?

0:33:03 > 0:33:07- Oh. I'm a bit out of my depth actually, Doctor.- Oh.

0:33:08 > 0:33:12Ah, Mr Hearn. I think maybe if you stepped her into Resus,

0:33:12 > 0:33:14I'm afraid your wife's arrested, again.

0:33:15 > 0:33:20- Why don't you go and sit with her? - OK. Yeah.

0:33:23 > 0:33:27Never let the sun go down on an argument.

0:33:27 > 0:33:29That's the answer to your question.

0:33:29 > 0:33:32We never let the sun go down on an argument.

0:33:47 > 0:33:50OK, they've removed the breathing tube now

0:33:50 > 0:33:53so it should be...fairly quick.

0:33:53 > 0:33:57She shouldn't be in any distress but she will know that you're here. OK?

0:34:01 > 0:34:04- I'll call ICU and let them know we won't be needing a bed.- Yeah.

0:34:04 > 0:34:06SLOW STEADY BEEPING

0:34:27 > 0:34:28Hello, darling.

0:34:30 > 0:34:31It's Ray here.

0:34:36 > 0:34:37I've come to say goodbye.

0:34:44 > 0:34:47You were always one to go out on a high, weren't you?

0:34:49 > 0:34:56Apart from our wedding...last week...

0:34:56 > 0:34:58was the happiest day of my life.

0:35:00 > 0:35:02They don't come any better than that.

0:35:05 > 0:35:07We had some smashing times, didn't we?

0:35:13 > 0:35:16And you're my smashing girl.

0:35:28 > 0:35:32- BEEPING CHANGES TO STEADY TONE - I'm going to miss you, Agnes.

0:35:50 > 0:35:53Dr Hanna. This is the Lead Consultant.

0:35:53 > 0:35:55This is the doctor who diagnosed my son.

0:35:55 > 0:35:58- Dr Hanna, could you say a few words about the E coli outbreak?- No.

0:35:58 > 0:36:02Do you think the local Health Protection Unit should have alerted the public to this outbreak?

0:36:02 > 0:36:08- No comment.- Is the hospital colluding with the HPU in hiding this outbreak from the public?

0:36:08 > 0:36:09No. We work closely together

0:36:09 > 0:36:12and we support each other in the interest of the public.

0:36:12 > 0:36:14To hide the E coli outbreak?

0:36:14 > 0:36:17I don't think you understand the complexity of an outbreak like this.

0:36:17 > 0:36:18We're doing everything we can.

0:36:18 > 0:36:22- So you think it's right to keep this information from the public? - We're doing everything we can.

0:36:22 > 0:36:24Information that could save lives!

0:36:24 > 0:36:27There is nothing more this hospital could do for your son.

0:36:27 > 0:36:30They could have stopped him developing this.

0:36:30 > 0:36:32Haemolytic-uremic syndrome can only be prevented

0:36:32 > 0:36:35if the E coli is treated early.

0:36:35 > 0:36:38Unfortunately Bobby came to the hospital too late.

0:36:38 > 0:36:43The HUS had already taken hold. Will you stop filming please?

0:36:43 > 0:36:47- We would've brought him in sooner if we'd known. - SHE SIGHS

0:36:47 > 0:36:50Someone is responsible for what has happened to my son.

0:37:00 > 0:37:02I thought you might need these.

0:37:02 > 0:37:07Ah, thanks. Isn't that Rob Arkwright's?

0:37:07 > 0:37:11- Small world.- Yeah he's a right one, isn't he?- Isn't he just.

0:37:11 > 0:37:14Nick would've known how to handle him.

0:37:14 > 0:37:18Nick who? You're in charge now. Stop comparing yourself.

0:37:18 > 0:37:21Just trust your instincts, Zoe. You'll be fine.

0:37:21 > 0:37:26- Is that all your having for lunch? - Do you know, I can't even eat it. I'm going out.

0:37:31 > 0:37:33Excuse me.

0:37:33 > 0:37:36I'm looking for the paramedic that brought me and my son in.

0:37:36 > 0:37:40He's black, upbeat, young-ish.

0:37:40 > 0:37:44Noel. He's actually 44, and he's a receptionist, not a paramedic.

0:37:44 > 0:37:49- But, I guess he's upbeat though. - Ah! I'm flattered.

0:37:49 > 0:37:50You're not going to believe this,

0:37:50 > 0:37:53but we've managed to mislay my son's comforter. Again.

0:37:53 > 0:37:58Right. That'll be in the ambulance station. In my paramedic jacket.

0:37:58 > 0:38:01If you wait right here, I'll be right back.

0:38:01 > 0:38:02Is it far? I could do with some air.

0:38:02 > 0:38:04Just through there.

0:38:04 > 0:38:07- I was meant to take this over for Dixie. Would you mind?- Busy!

0:38:07 > 0:38:11- Look, you've got carrots on your hair.- Oh, no, how embarrassing!

0:38:11 > 0:38:14Dr Hanna, can you come and have a look at this, please? Sorry, do you mind if I borrow this?

0:38:14 > 0:38:20- Sure.- Thanks. So, this was just a Year One field trip, was it?- Yep.

0:38:20 > 0:38:24- And it's just the Year One kids that have come down with the E coli bug? - Yeah.

0:38:24 > 0:38:26It is, just Year One.

0:38:27 > 0:38:34- Thank you. Thanks.- There you go. Ta.

0:38:34 > 0:38:39It's me. Look. I thought you'd forgotten.

0:38:39 > 0:38:41I'd never forget. You know that.

0:38:43 > 0:38:45You must've had Tolly very young.

0:38:45 > 0:38:47He was 16. I wasn't planned.

0:38:48 > 0:38:52You were the best surprise I've ever had.

0:38:52 > 0:38:55Simon. Your collapse this morning was from the same bug as Tolly.

0:38:55 > 0:38:57This worries us because adults

0:38:57 > 0:39:02- are normally strong enough to withstand it.- Yeah. And, er...

0:39:02 > 0:39:05Well, we know that you've been having trouble

0:39:05 > 0:39:09keeping your food down. And that has weakened your system.

0:39:09 > 0:39:11Now, if you were to carry on with that,

0:39:11 > 0:39:15then you would be putting yourself at risk of becoming seriously ill.

0:39:15 > 0:39:16Give him some medicine then.

0:39:16 > 0:39:21Well, mate, we can't really give Daddy medicine for it, but...

0:39:21 > 0:39:24Well, we could send Daddy somewhere.

0:39:24 > 0:39:28Just to give you some support? Would you like us to organise that for you?

0:39:29 > 0:39:35Look. It's really tough being a parent.

0:39:35 > 0:39:37And he needs you fit and well.

0:39:40 > 0:39:43Please go. Please?

0:39:49 > 0:39:51- Please.- OK.

0:39:52 > 0:39:54Thank you.

0:39:58 > 0:40:02- Right, I'll be back in a sec.- OK.

0:40:04 > 0:40:07- I saw a box of veg in the back of his car.- Why don't we just ask him outright?

0:40:07 > 0:40:11I don't want to ask him any probing questions. It's the last thing that he needs.

0:40:16 > 0:40:20- Da-nah!- Oh, brilliant. Thank you.

0:40:20 > 0:40:24- TRICKLING - Oh, no. I'm so sorry.

0:40:24 > 0:40:26- What's she doing?- I think my waters might be breaking.

0:40:26 > 0:40:31- Right, erm, we need to call someone. I think she's having a baby.- Oh.

0:40:31 > 0:40:35It's coming. I can feel it. I'm pushing. I want to push.

0:40:35 > 0:40:41Oh, no, no. Listen, you can't push here! Look, we'll get you back to hospital. Louise, help me!

0:40:41 > 0:40:43All right. Come on, lean on me. Let's go.

0:40:43 > 0:40:46No, no, no, I can't. Get off me. Get off me. Get off, let go!

0:40:46 > 0:40:50Ohhhhh! Help me, it's coming!

0:40:50 > 0:40:51Call someone, quick!

0:40:51 > 0:40:54- What, 999?- Just call the hospital, get a doctor!

0:40:54 > 0:40:55Arrghhh!

0:40:55 > 0:40:57What are you doing?

0:40:57 > 0:41:00It's coming. I think it's coming.

0:41:00 > 0:41:04- When's it due?- When is it due!? It's coming!- Not yet. Not for another month.

0:41:04 > 0:41:05All right, I'll be right back!

0:41:05 > 0:41:08Where are you going?

0:41:08 > 0:41:11Ohhhh, aaaaaagghhhh!

0:41:13 > 0:41:15Right, let's see. Blankets.

0:41:21 > 0:41:24MOBILE PHONE RINGS Hello?

0:41:24 > 0:41:28- Dixie?- Louise? What are you doing ringing me on this number?

0:41:28 > 0:41:32- I'll explain later, but I'm here with a woman who...- Aaaaggghhhh!

0:41:32 > 0:41:37OK, OK, just calm down, and try and tell me simply what's happening.

0:41:37 > 0:41:41- There's blood and I don't know what she's doing.- I'm having a baby!

0:41:41 > 0:41:45- Who else is with you, Louise? Who else is there?- Just me. And Noel.

0:41:45 > 0:41:48Right. Get her to lie down on the floor.

0:41:48 > 0:41:51Prop her up on her back, so she's half-sitting. I'm on my way.

0:41:51 > 0:41:55- Can you lie on the floor, please? - I can't. There's no way. I can't.

0:41:55 > 0:41:57- She won't.- No, I heard. Just try and persuade her again.

0:41:57 > 0:42:01It'll slow down the process and give you chance to sort yourselves out.

0:42:01 > 0:42:05- I'm on my way.- Don't go. You can't leave us. We don't know what we're doing.

0:42:05 > 0:42:08Get her to lie on the floor. She said it might slow things.

0:42:08 > 0:42:13- Well, come here and help me then! - Right, put me on loudspeaker. I'll keep talking.- Aaaarghhhh!

0:42:13 > 0:42:17- Noel, can you hear me love? - Yes. Yeah, I'm here.

0:42:17 > 0:42:20OK, put some cushions and some blankets on the floor.

0:42:20 > 0:42:22'Get her to lie down'

0:42:22 > 0:42:26- and cut her underwear off. - Take her underwear...?

0:42:26 > 0:42:30Right, listen, we need you to lie down. We've got help coming. OK?

0:42:30 > 0:42:33- OK, OK.- So please, just lie down.

0:42:33 > 0:42:36Oh, agghhhh, aaargh!

0:42:36 > 0:42:39SHE PANTS HEAVILY

0:42:39 > 0:42:41Aaaaarrgghhhhh!

0:42:41 > 0:42:46- NEWSREADER:- Three days ago, Bobby was an ordinary, little, healthy boy. Today he lies in Intensive Care

0:42:46 > 0:42:51after being exposed to the E coli bacteria which is sweeping Holby.

0:42:51 > 0:42:54The lethal bacteria has struck down several pupils

0:42:54 > 0:42:57from St Mary's School which has had to close.

0:42:57 > 0:42:59The public need to be informed.

0:42:59 > 0:43:04If my wife and I had been aware we would have brought Bobby in sooner.

0:43:04 > 0:43:05This could have been avoided.

0:43:05 > 0:43:09Dr Zoe Hanna, Holby ED'S lead consultant confirmed the outbreak.

0:43:10 > 0:43:13Haemolytic-uremic syndrome can only be prevented

0:43:13 > 0:43:16if the E coli is treated early.

0:43:16 > 0:43:21Unfortunately Bobby came to the hospital too late. The HUS had already taken hold.

0:43:21 > 0:43:24Bobby's parents have criticised the Health Protection Unit,

0:43:24 > 0:43:25who've apparently...

0:43:25 > 0:43:29- Why would she say that? - She knows the repercussions for going public like this.

0:43:29 > 0:43:31- I think she did well. - I didn't say it like that.

0:43:31 > 0:43:36- That's out of context, it's been manipulated and twisted. - Oh thank God for that.- Oh, hang on!

0:43:36 > 0:43:40But if I had been allowed to make an official statement, I would have.

0:43:40 > 0:43:43Yes, I was caught off-guard but I stand by what I said.

0:43:43 > 0:43:46I was protecting the hospital's integrity.

0:43:46 > 0:43:49So if I'm in trouble with the board, or the chair, or the HPU

0:43:49 > 0:43:53or any other government body that I've never heard of - so what?

0:43:53 > 0:43:56I stood by my principles and I defended our practice.

0:44:00 > 0:44:03Now, I need you to look up between her legs. Can you see the head?

0:44:03 > 0:44:05SHE PANTS HEAVILY

0:44:05 > 0:44:07Hello? Can anyone hear me?

0:44:07 > 0:44:08I'm just looking!

0:44:08 > 0:44:11- Aaaaaaaggghhhhhhh! - There's something there.

0:44:11 > 0:44:13- I'm going to push. - OK, OK, what's Mum's name?

0:44:13 > 0:44:14Erm, Jenny!

0:44:14 > 0:44:19Jenny? You're doing really well, sweetheart. Sounds as if you're crowning.

0:44:19 > 0:44:21Now, I need you to put your hand on the head,

0:44:21 > 0:44:24- over the entrance to the vagina Noel. - Sorry!- As she pushes,

0:44:24 > 0:44:28apply a little pressure, just a little, OK?

0:44:28 > 0:44:30- Just support the head.- Uh-huh.

0:44:30 > 0:44:34Louise? You stand by with a towel, ready to wrap up baby when it comes.

0:44:34 > 0:44:39- Aaaaaggghh!- OK.

0:44:40 > 0:44:44- OK.- That's it.- OK.- That's it! - Aaaaggghhhh!- OK.

0:44:44 > 0:44:46- Oh, my God! Oh, My God!- OK.

0:44:46 > 0:44:49- Aaarrrggghhh!- Oh, yes!- Oh!- Oooh! - SCREAMING STOPS

0:44:49 > 0:44:52- BABY CRIES - It's a baby!

0:44:52 > 0:44:54- Towel!- We had a baby.

0:44:55 > 0:44:58Hello! Mind the cord, sweetheart.

0:44:58 > 0:45:01Is it OK? Can I hold it?

0:45:01 > 0:45:04Yeah, just give us a minute, Mum. Give us a minute.

0:45:05 > 0:45:09- There we go!- Awww!- Awww!

0:45:09 > 0:45:14- Oh, Tiny! Hello!- There, there!
