0:00:10 > 0:00:11And you don't think I can do that?

0:00:11 > 0:00:14No, what I THINK is that he needs continuity of care

0:00:14 > 0:00:17and a clear sense of who is in charge and who's taking care of him.

0:00:17 > 0:00:20'I'm going to speak to your mother, arrange for you to stay with me.'

0:10:03 > 0:10:05- Oh, God.- What happened?

0:10:05 > 0:10:07I, erm, lost control. I think a cat or something ran out.

0:10:07 > 0:10:10- I can't remember.- Can you grab a spinal board, please?- No worries.

0:10:10 > 0:10:12Is he going to be OK?

0:12:17 > 0:12:19Right, how we doing?

0:12:19 > 0:12:25Not looking too good - tachycardic at 140, BP's 126 over 90.

0:12:25 > 0:12:26Airways are clear.

0:12:26 > 0:12:30Good bilateral chest expansion, but there is some bruising.

0:12:30 > 0:12:33Can you get a portable chest X-ray over, please?

0:12:33 > 0:12:36Let's get another line in. Can you do a venous blood gas, Cal?

0:12:45 > 0:12:48Can you hear me?

0:12:50 > 0:12:52I think we need to intubate.

0:12:52 > 0:12:55Can we set up for an RSI? Fast bleep the anaesthetist,

0:12:55 > 0:12:57and we'll need an immediate head CT.

0:12:57 > 0:12:58Erm, Zoe?

0:13:01 > 0:13:04Drugs could explain the tachycardia.

0:13:04 > 0:13:06Yeah, pupils are dilated.

0:13:06 > 0:13:10Well, his brother's here, do you want me to see if he knows anything?

0:13:10 > 0:13:11Yes, please.

0:13:28 > 0:13:30Any blurred vision at all?

0:13:30 > 0:13:32Any nausea? OK.

0:13:34 > 0:13:35Sorry.

0:13:36 > 0:13:39Yeah, that's definitely going to need suturing

0:13:39 > 0:13:42and then we're going to want to monitor you for a couple of hours.

0:13:44 > 0:13:48Listen, erm...has Sean taken any drugs?

0:13:48 > 0:13:51No. Definitely not. Doesn't touch them.

0:13:51 > 0:13:54- It's just that we found... - Whatever you found, it's not drugs.

0:13:54 > 0:13:56How is he?

0:13:56 > 0:13:59Well, he's being treated in our resuscitation room

0:13:59 > 0:14:01and then they're going to take him for a scan of his brain.

0:14:04 > 0:14:07PHONE RINGS

0:14:11 > 0:14:13- You going to answer that? - It's Sean's.

0:14:15 > 0:14:18- He needs to know. - Be my guest.

0:14:23 > 0:14:24Mr Starky?

0:14:24 > 0:14:27Hello, yeah, my name's Adrian Fletcher.

0:14:43 > 0:14:44You've got to be kidding me.

0:14:49 > 0:14:51Wakey-wakey!

0:14:55 > 0:14:56Kev?

0:14:58 > 0:15:01Kevin? Kevin?!

0:15:01 > 0:15:04Fletch? Give me your phone.

0:15:04 > 0:15:06This better be quick, cos I'm really busy.

0:15:06 > 0:15:09I've set up your account, OK? So FLETCH1.

0:15:09 > 0:15:11You can access it from this.

0:15:11 > 0:15:14Right, OK, listen, just tell me how it works again.

0:15:14 > 0:15:17Market rises a point, you make a pound.

0:15:17 > 0:15:18And if it goes down?

0:15:18 > 0:15:22It'll always go back up, eventually. Law of averages.

0:15:22 > 0:15:25Now all you have to do is deposit some funds.

0:15:27 > 0:15:32- How much?- What is it you London boys call it? A monkey?

0:15:32 > 0:15:35What? £500?! That's, like, a month's mortgage.

0:15:35 > 0:15:37I can't lose that, right? Nat'll kill me.

0:15:37 > 0:15:39Minimum deposit, I'm afraid.

0:15:41 > 0:15:42I don't know.

0:15:43 > 0:15:46Things are a bit tight right now, what with the baby and everything.

0:15:46 > 0:15:49Chill. OK, you don't have to put it all on at once.

0:15:49 > 0:15:51It's a kind of buffer.

0:15:51 > 0:15:55You can get out whenever you want and you always put on a stop loss.

0:15:55 > 0:15:59It's a safety net. So, if you're down, like, £50,

0:15:59 > 0:16:03then the system will cancel you out automatically.

0:16:03 > 0:16:05BEEPER GOES

0:16:05 > 0:16:07I've got to go. Good luck, all right.

0:16:09 > 0:16:10Yeah.

0:16:14 > 0:16:15So, if you take a seat,

0:16:15 > 0:16:18I'll get someone to show you exactly where it is.

0:16:20 > 0:16:23- My son - Sean. - OK, sir. What's his full name?

0:16:23 > 0:16:26Sean Starky, he's been in a car crash.

0:16:26 > 0:16:29Right, I'll just get someone to come and see you.

0:16:29 > 0:16:31Fletch? Sean Starky's dad.

0:16:31 > 0:16:34Colin, I'm Nurse Fletcher, I spoke on the phone earlier.

0:16:34 > 0:16:35What's happening?

0:16:35 > 0:16:38As I said before, Sean suffered quite a severe head injury.

0:16:38 > 0:16:41He's sedated and on a ventilator, but stable.

0:16:41 > 0:16:44- We're running a scan on him now. - He's going to be all right?

0:16:44 > 0:16:45We'll have news pretty soon.

0:16:45 > 0:16:47But if you want to wait in the relatives' room...

0:16:47 > 0:16:50- Can you show him to the relatives' room, please?- Yeah, sure.

0:16:50 > 0:16:54Also, your other son's fine, by the way.

0:16:54 > 0:16:56What did you say?

0:16:56 > 0:16:59Preston. He's fine. He's just got a cut on his face.

0:16:59 > 0:17:01- Was he driving? - Yeah.

0:17:03 > 0:17:04He caused the crash.

0:17:04 > 0:17:07It was an accident. And he's not hurt.

0:17:07 > 0:17:09Do you want to go and see him?

0:17:09 > 0:17:10No.

0:17:20 > 0:17:22- Right, you're going to feel a sharp scratch.- No.

0:17:22 > 0:17:25- Sorry?- I don't want it.

0:17:25 > 0:17:28You're going to need something for the pain, trust me.

0:17:28 > 0:17:30Clean for nearly a year now.

0:17:30 > 0:17:31That's brilliant. Good for you.

0:17:31 > 0:17:33But this isn't an opiate.

0:17:33 > 0:17:36Doesn't matter. No drugs. Please.

0:17:36 > 0:17:37Right, you're the boss.

0:17:44 > 0:17:48- OK, well, this is going to hurt.- Yeah.

0:17:51 > 0:17:52That the best you got?

0:17:55 > 0:17:57Still no neuro ITU beds available.

0:17:57 > 0:17:59- Right, good thing we've got room then, isn't it?- Yeah.

0:17:59 > 0:18:01They want to put an ICP monitor in when he's on the unit.

0:18:01 > 0:18:04But, in the meantime, we'll just keep him under close obs.

0:18:04 > 0:18:06Yes, sure.

0:18:06 > 0:18:07This is Mr Starky.

0:18:07 > 0:18:09Hello, I'm Doctor Hanna.

0:18:09 > 0:18:12Is he going to be all right? Please, he has to be all right.

0:18:12 > 0:18:15Sean took a significant blow to his head.

0:18:15 > 0:18:19And I'm afraid the scan showed he suffered a major cerebral contusion.

0:18:19 > 0:18:23Which means that basically his brain is very badly bruised.

0:18:23 > 0:18:25Sorry, what are you saying?

0:18:25 > 0:18:27What I'm saying is we need to wait and see.

0:18:27 > 0:18:29The neurosurgeons will be down shortly.

0:18:29 > 0:18:31They'll give you some more information.

0:18:33 > 0:18:36Could he...could he die?

0:18:36 > 0:18:39I think it's best to wait and speak to the neurosurgeon.

0:18:39 > 0:18:40But it's a possibility?

0:18:42 > 0:18:45But wait and speak to the experts, yeah?

0:18:52 > 0:18:54And we're done.

0:18:54 > 0:18:59Do you know what? That's pretty good, even if I do say so myself.

0:18:59 > 0:19:04- You've got some bruising there, can I have a look? - It's an old injury, I'm fine.

0:19:04 > 0:19:05OK.

0:19:07 > 0:19:09My dad?

0:19:09 > 0:19:10He's in with your brother.

0:19:11 > 0:19:13Does he know I'm here?

0:19:19 > 0:19:22Look, he's pretty worried about Sean.

0:19:22 > 0:19:23Yeah.

0:19:25 > 0:19:27Why don't I see if I can get you an update, eh?

0:19:30 > 0:19:34PHONE BUZZES

0:19:40 > 0:19:42Oh, no, don't.

0:19:42 > 0:19:44Oh, please don't do it to me.

0:19:53 > 0:19:54Get in.

0:19:57 > 0:19:59OK, thank you.

0:19:59 > 0:20:02I think he's had an attack of some sort.

0:20:02 > 0:20:04OK. Did you see it?

0:20:04 > 0:20:06- I was in the bathroom.- Right.

0:20:07 > 0:20:10Hello, love. My name's Dixie, I'm a paramedic.

0:20:10 > 0:20:13Can you tell me your name?

0:20:13 > 0:20:15Ke... Ke...

0:20:15 > 0:20:17Kevin.

0:20:17 > 0:20:18All right.

0:20:19 > 0:20:23And how much has your boyfriend had to drink, love?

0:20:23 > 0:20:25Some wine, couple of beers.

0:20:25 > 0:20:29But he's not my boyfriend - it's just our second date.

0:20:29 > 0:20:30Has this happened before?

0:20:33 > 0:20:36- Tell her!- Tell me what?

0:20:37 > 0:20:39He's got a brain tumour.

0:20:39 > 0:20:41He's dying.

0:20:52 > 0:20:55Is there anyone I can call for you? Your wife, maybe?

0:20:57 > 0:21:00Cancer. Three years ago.

0:21:00 > 0:21:02Sorry.

0:21:04 > 0:21:06I could get Preston, he's pretty upset.

0:21:06 > 0:21:09He doesn't come anywhere near him, right?

0:21:09 > 0:21:11This is all his doing.

0:21:11 > 0:21:14Cos I guarantee he'll have been on smack or something.

0:21:15 > 0:21:19I want him done for this. Locked up.

0:21:23 > 0:21:26- Toilets? - Yeah, out the door, turn left.

0:21:31 > 0:21:34Come on in. Standing room only, guys.

0:21:34 > 0:21:36Standing room only.

0:21:39 > 0:21:41DOORBELL RINGS

0:21:41 > 0:21:43You have got to be kidding me.

0:21:45 > 0:21:46Come on in!

0:21:55 > 0:21:57Feels good, yeah, babes?

0:22:13 > 0:22:16- Erm, your dad...he... - Doesn't want me in here.

0:22:19 > 0:22:23Preston...make it quick.

0:22:35 > 0:22:37You owe me a new car, you muppet.

0:22:40 > 0:22:43I thought you were driving?

0:22:43 > 0:22:45Don't know why I said that.

0:22:45 > 0:22:47Must be the painkillers.

0:22:47 > 0:22:49But you haven't had any.

0:22:49 > 0:22:52Right. I don't know. I'm just tired.

0:22:59 > 0:23:01- Dr Chao.- No. - OK, then.

0:23:01 > 0:23:03This is Kevin Robertson, 23,

0:23:03 > 0:23:06postictal after suffering a seizure during, shall we say,

0:23:06 > 0:23:08an intimate moment?

0:23:08 > 0:23:09About to have an intimate moment.

0:23:09 > 0:23:14His GCS is 15, his tachy at 110, it's now 98.

0:23:14 > 0:23:16Straight to cubicles.

0:23:16 > 0:23:19He's also got a brain tumour and there's some alcohol on board.

0:23:19 > 0:23:20He's out drinking?

0:23:20 > 0:23:23Drowning his sorrows, it's understandable.

0:23:23 > 0:23:25No, it's irresponsible in his condition.

0:23:29 > 0:23:31So you and your old man don't really get on then?

0:23:31 > 0:23:33That's an understatement.

0:23:37 > 0:23:40- Get out. - Mr Starky, it's his brother.

0:23:40 > 0:23:42And I'm his father!

0:23:42 > 0:23:45And I want him out!

0:23:45 > 0:23:47I'm warning you, pal.

0:23:47 > 0:23:48I've changed, Dad.

0:23:49 > 0:23:52Got a job in a call centre, flat, even a girlfriend.

0:23:52 > 0:23:56- How many times have I heard this? - It's true this time. I'm clean.

0:23:56 > 0:23:58Get...out.

0:23:59 > 0:24:01He's my brother, you can't stop me.

0:24:01 > 0:24:04Let go of him, or I'm going to have to call security.

0:24:04 > 0:24:07It's you who should be lying there. You!

0:24:12 > 0:24:15He didn't mean it. He's just upset.

0:24:24 > 0:24:25What's wrong?

0:24:25 > 0:24:28Sometimes, the pressure in the brain can increase if there's a tumour,

0:24:28 > 0:24:32and we can tell that by looking at the back of the eyes.

0:24:32 > 0:24:35But they look OK, as far as I can see.

0:24:35 > 0:24:38- So...? - Kevin, who is your specialist?

0:24:39 > 0:24:42Kev, tell her.

0:24:43 > 0:24:46- Erm, I haven't seen one yet. - What?

0:24:46 > 0:24:48You haven't been diagnosed?

0:24:48 > 0:24:51I looked the symptoms up on the net.

0:24:51 > 0:24:54- You lied!- No. - It was a line. To get me into bed.

0:24:54 > 0:24:56Are you even a stockbroker?

0:24:59 > 0:25:01Where do you really work?

0:25:03 > 0:25:06- Meaty Meats.- Sorry?

0:25:06 > 0:25:07It's a butcher's.

0:25:10 > 0:25:11I'm deputy manager, though!

0:25:11 > 0:25:13- Unbelievable.- Lucy!

0:25:20 > 0:25:21I paid for our hotel and everything.

0:25:23 > 0:25:25Do you think I'd get a refund?

0:25:28 > 0:25:30Why did you lie?

0:25:30 > 0:25:34Would you really date someone who stuffed sausages for a living?

0:25:34 > 0:25:36I'll be back in a minute.

0:25:41 > 0:25:43Girlfriend did not look happy.

0:25:43 > 0:25:46I'm not surprised, he told her he had a tumour.

0:25:46 > 0:25:50- What, he doesn't?- It's unlikely. But he was postictal at the scene.

0:25:51 > 0:25:53Other symptoms?

0:25:53 > 0:25:56Headaches, nausea, blurred vision, weight loss,

0:25:56 > 0:25:57but no history of epilepsy.

0:26:00 > 0:26:02Could be a space-occupying lesion?

0:26:03 > 0:26:04I'll book a head CT.

0:26:13 > 0:26:15PHONE BEEPS

0:26:17 > 0:26:20Tox report, Fletch. Fletch?

0:26:20 > 0:26:22Cheers.

0:26:31 > 0:26:33Just want to check something.

0:26:40 > 0:26:44- You think I'm a bad father? - Not at all.

0:26:44 > 0:26:46The things Preston did to me and his mum.

0:26:46 > 0:26:49It's really none of my business.

0:26:49 > 0:26:53- Do you have kids? - Four.

0:26:53 > 0:26:58My only bit of advice - all they really need is your time.

0:26:58 > 0:27:01You give them that and they'll be all right.

0:27:02 > 0:27:05- Is that an army tat? - Yeah.

0:27:05 > 0:27:07Guessing you were away a lot.

0:27:08 > 0:27:12Picking them up from school, helping with their homework,

0:27:12 > 0:27:15footy in the park...

0:27:15 > 0:27:17Missed it all.

0:27:18 > 0:27:20Well, you've got to provide for your family, eh?

0:27:22 > 0:27:24Yeah.

0:27:33 > 0:27:34Is it Sean?

0:27:34 > 0:27:37No, there's no change.

0:27:37 > 0:27:41Preston, I don't think you were driving that car tonight.

0:27:41 > 0:27:43- Just leave it.- Why are you lying?

0:27:43 > 0:27:46- I'm not. - Right, the bruising on your shoulder,

0:27:46 > 0:27:50it looks like it's from the seat belt on the passenger side.

0:27:50 > 0:27:52Is it cos your little brother's on cocaine?

0:27:52 > 0:27:54Is that why you're covering for him?

0:27:56 > 0:27:59- Maybe I just have to talk to your dad then.- No.

0:27:59 > 0:28:01Sean's going to medical school.

0:28:01 > 0:28:04Would they still offer him a place with a drugs conviction?

0:28:04 > 0:28:06- A druggie doctor? - Well, even so...

0:28:06 > 0:28:08Dad's been slogging it 12 hours a day in a power plant,

0:28:08 > 0:28:10just to save the cash.

0:28:10 > 0:28:14If Sean didn't get a place, ended up like me, it'd destroy him.

0:28:14 > 0:28:17- He's been through too much - Mum, me.- Preston...

0:28:17 > 0:28:21Sean will get better, go back to college, lesson learnt.

0:28:21 > 0:28:23I'll get a slap on the wrist, everything stays the same.

0:28:23 > 0:28:26- No harm done.- You're not thinking this through, all right?

0:28:26 > 0:28:29You could go to prison for this.

0:28:29 > 0:28:32They could do you for dangerous driving, causing serious injury.

0:28:33 > 0:28:36You're getting your life back together.

0:28:36 > 0:28:38I mean, you've got a girlfriend now, a job.

0:28:40 > 0:28:43Maybe I don't deserve it. Any of it.

0:28:43 > 0:28:45What did you do that was so bad?

0:28:45 > 0:28:47I was driving. End of.

0:28:50 > 0:28:53Sorry, Preston, are you up to giving a statement?

0:28:53 > 0:28:55Yeah.

0:29:01 > 0:29:02It's Ella.

0:29:06 > 0:29:09Ella... Ella, sweetheart.

0:29:12 > 0:29:13She's got hives.

0:29:13 > 0:29:16- Has she taken something? - What's wrong with her?

0:29:16 > 0:29:18She's having an allergic reaction to something.

0:29:18 > 0:29:20If she's taken something, we need to know.

0:29:21 > 0:29:23She could die.

0:29:24 > 0:29:26Jase...

0:29:27 > 0:29:29- Ket.- Brilliant (!)

0:29:29 > 0:29:30We need to get her in.

0:29:30 > 0:29:34Yeah, cos then Ash can kill us. Slowly and painfully.

0:29:34 > 0:29:36Ella, can you open your mouth for me?

0:29:36 > 0:29:38She needs to go to a hospital.

0:29:38 > 0:29:40Well, can't we wait and see if she perks up a bit?

0:29:40 > 0:29:42No, she could be approaching anaphylaxis.

0:29:42 > 0:29:45- But Ash'll... - We don't have a choice.

0:29:46 > 0:29:48No tumour.

0:29:48 > 0:29:50And his obs are all fine.

0:29:50 > 0:29:53- Symptoms? - We've got it thanks, Cal.

0:29:53 > 0:29:56Nausea, dizziness, seizures and some weight loss.

0:29:56 > 0:30:00He's faked the tumour and its treatment, right? Even his job.

0:30:00 > 0:30:04Maybe he's faked the whole thing, trying to get sympathy sex.

0:30:04 > 0:30:06Then why would he feign illness

0:30:06 > 0:30:08right before they did the jiggy-jiggy?

0:30:08 > 0:30:10Over to you, then, doctor.

0:30:10 > 0:30:13All right.

0:30:13 > 0:30:17TB, vasculitis?

0:30:17 > 0:30:19- That doesn't fit. - Well, then, run further tests.

0:30:19 > 0:30:21And waste more resources?

0:30:21 > 0:30:25He's a pathological liar, Cal. Nobody saw his seizure.

0:30:25 > 0:30:28His postictal state could have been the booze. He reeks of it.

0:30:28 > 0:30:31Before we waste any more money, we should get him a psych referral,

0:30:31 > 0:30:33- take it from there. - I concur.

0:30:37 > 0:30:41- Cal? I'm £280 up, mate! - Sell.

0:30:41 > 0:30:43- You sure?- Yeah.

0:30:43 > 0:30:45All right.

0:30:45 > 0:30:48The missus is going to love this - bit of extra cash in the bank.

0:30:48 > 0:30:51Do you know what? I could probably afford a little family break, now.

0:30:51 > 0:30:52Yeah, to Blackpool, maybe.

0:30:57 > 0:31:00Everything's going to be all right, son. I promise you.

0:31:06 > 0:31:08I've come to see Sean.

0:31:08 > 0:31:10They're taking me in for questioning.

0:31:10 > 0:31:12Two of you? That's a bit much, isn't it?

0:31:12 > 0:31:14Not if you're still on probation, it isn't.

0:31:14 > 0:31:17Well, even so, it was just an accident.

0:31:17 > 0:31:19They found drugs in the car.

0:31:19 > 0:31:21Well, maybe, now's the time you...

0:31:23 > 0:31:25Fair enough.

0:31:35 > 0:31:38I'll see you soon, yeah, mate? When you're all better.

0:31:41 > 0:31:42I'll see you soon.

0:31:44 > 0:31:47- You all right? - Just a bit hot.

0:31:54 > 0:31:56How long?

0:31:56 > 0:31:59How long has he been sneaking out to see you?

0:31:59 > 0:32:00A few months.

0:32:02 > 0:32:03He got in touch with me.

0:32:05 > 0:32:07Look what you've done.

0:32:08 > 0:32:10Look at him!

0:32:10 > 0:32:13OK, right, let's calm down a minute.

0:32:13 > 0:32:17He's lying there at death's door, brain smashed to pieces, and you...

0:32:17 > 0:32:21you just...you just walk away unhurt. How's that fair?

0:32:21 > 0:32:26- Colin...- Don't come back, right? Ever. Do you understand?

0:32:26 > 0:32:27You're not welcome!

0:32:30 > 0:32:33- Preston, you don't look well, let's have a look at you.- I'm fine.

0:32:33 > 0:32:36Preston... OK, give us a hand!

0:32:36 > 0:32:38Someone go get Zoe. I'll get him on the bed.

0:32:38 > 0:32:42It's just withdrawal, I've seen it all before.

0:32:42 > 0:32:44- This isn't withdrawal. - Fletch, what's going on?

0:32:44 > 0:32:47This is Preston Starky, Sean Starky's brother.

0:32:47 > 0:32:49He was involved in the crash earlier.

0:32:49 > 0:32:51I treated him for a head lac,

0:32:51 > 0:32:53but he's just doubled up with acute abdo pain.

0:32:53 > 0:32:56OK, let's get the monitoring on and can I have the FAST scanner, please?

0:32:56 > 0:32:57It's tachycardic.

0:32:57 > 0:33:00Let's get a line in and give him five of morphine.

0:33:00 > 0:33:03- No, no! - No, he's a recovering addict.

0:33:03 > 0:33:06Preston, stay with us. Come on, stay with us.

0:33:12 > 0:33:15There's free fluid in the abdomen. Why didn't you spot this earlier?

0:33:15 > 0:33:17Because he'd only let us treat the cut.

0:33:17 > 0:33:20OK, let's hang up two units of O neg, cross-match six units.

0:33:20 > 0:33:21Can we call the blood bank?

0:33:21 > 0:33:24Code red trauma, tell them it's a suspected active haemorrhage.

0:33:24 > 0:33:26And can we fast bleep the general surgeons, please?

0:33:26 > 0:33:29Preston, Preston, stay with us, come on.

0:33:38 > 0:33:42- Kevin?! Can I get some help here, please?!- Yeah.

0:33:44 > 0:33:47I'm just going to put some oxygen on you, Kevin, all right?

0:33:51 > 0:33:56Right, Ella, nearly there, kid. OK, this is Ella Ashford.

0:33:56 > 0:33:59We think she's taken some ketamine and had an allergic reaction.

0:33:59 > 0:34:01OK, straight through to resus two, please.

0:34:01 > 0:34:03BP dropped to 90 systolic, but picked up again with fluids.

0:34:03 > 0:34:06She's developed a bit of a wheeze, but responded to salbutamol.

0:34:06 > 0:34:08Denies any throat tightness.

0:34:08 > 0:34:11She's had 0.5 of 1 in 1,000 adrenaline at the scene.

0:34:11 > 0:34:16- I want to go home.- OK. You need to call Ash, you need to let him know.

0:34:16 > 0:34:17I know, I will.

0:34:17 > 0:34:20Sorry, Ella, I'm afraid you've got a significant rash -

0:34:20 > 0:34:24- you're going to need more treatment. - Ella, we're going to get you to shifty over for us

0:34:24 > 0:34:25when you're ready, OK?

0:34:25 > 0:34:27Let me know when you're set, nice and slowly.

0:34:27 > 0:34:29That's it, well done.

0:34:29 > 0:34:32His name's Preston Starky, he's had five of morphine

0:34:32 > 0:34:35and two units of O neg.

0:34:35 > 0:34:37So, what happened?

0:34:37 > 0:34:40Preston's heart wasn't getting enough blood so it stopped for a minute,

0:34:40 > 0:34:42but we've sorted that out and his heartbeat's back.

0:34:42 > 0:34:44But he needs surgery urgently.

0:34:44 > 0:34:47Is he going to make it?

0:34:47 > 0:34:48I don't know.

0:34:50 > 0:34:52Look, why don't you go upstairs with him?

0:34:52 > 0:34:55I'll let you know if there's any change down here.

0:34:58 > 0:35:01No, no.

0:35:01 > 0:35:02Right, do you know what?

0:35:02 > 0:35:05- As their next of kin, you need to know the full picture.- Sorry?

0:35:05 > 0:35:08Sean was driving the car tonight, he caused the accident.

0:35:08 > 0:35:09What are you talking about?

0:35:09 > 0:35:12Preston said he was driving - he took the blame.

0:35:12 > 0:35:13I don't think so.

0:35:16 > 0:35:18Have a look at this.

0:35:18 > 0:35:21That is a seat belt mark on the driver's seat.

0:35:21 > 0:35:23I don't understand. Why would...?

0:35:23 > 0:35:25Sean had cocaine in his system.

0:35:27 > 0:35:29Right, the police are going to have a field day with him.

0:35:29 > 0:35:32No driver's licence, no insurance and driving on drugs.

0:35:32 > 0:35:34No, no, no, you've made a mistake.

0:35:34 > 0:35:36Sean doesn't do drugs.

0:35:39 > 0:35:42That's the bit you want to read.

0:35:42 > 0:35:45And, for what it's worth, I think Preston's clean.

0:35:45 > 0:35:47He refused pain relief, all right?

0:35:47 > 0:35:50And, in my experience, addicts, when they come in here,

0:35:50 > 0:35:53they will take whatever they can get their hands on.

0:36:05 > 0:36:07Mr Starky?!

0:36:07 > 0:36:10Look, Preston's in theatre, he's in a really bad way.

0:36:10 > 0:36:12You should be there for him.

0:36:12 > 0:36:14Well, if he pulls through, what do you want me to tell him?

0:36:14 > 0:36:16Who do you think you are, eh?

0:36:16 > 0:36:17You know nothing.

0:36:17 > 0:36:20Nothing at all. He stole from her.

0:36:21 > 0:36:23He stole from his own mother.

0:36:25 > 0:36:29She was dying...and she wanted him home.

0:36:29 > 0:36:32But Preston, he was a mess, he was a total mess.

0:36:35 > 0:36:38I told her it was a bad idea, but no. She...

0:36:40 > 0:36:43She wanted her boy back.

0:36:43 > 0:36:45Insisted.

0:36:45 > 0:36:49While he was there, he took her credit cards

0:36:49 > 0:36:52he took her bank cards, her cheque books - the lot.

0:36:52 > 0:36:56Cleared her out. Thousands.

0:36:57 > 0:36:59It broke Kerry's heart.

0:37:00 > 0:37:02It broke my heart.

0:37:04 > 0:37:10What kind of sick, twisted person could do that, eh?

0:37:12 > 0:37:15To his own dying mother?

0:37:15 > 0:37:16Someone addicted to heroin.

0:37:20 > 0:37:23He could die up there surrounded by total strangers.

0:37:33 > 0:37:36Look, picking him up from school and helping him with his homework,

0:37:36 > 0:37:38that's all in the past - forgotten.

0:37:40 > 0:37:43He needs his old man, right now. For this moment, right now.

0:37:45 > 0:37:47So don't leave him on his own.

0:37:47 > 0:37:50You'll hate yourself if you do.

0:38:02 > 0:38:04Have you seen Lucy?

0:38:04 > 0:38:06Sorry, buddy, I think she's gone.

0:38:06 > 0:38:08Your GP notes have just arrived.

0:38:08 > 0:38:11Three years ago, you received a set of vaccinations

0:38:11 > 0:38:14and you were prescribed malaria tablets?

0:38:14 > 0:38:17- Where did you go? - Travelling round Vietnam.- Right.

0:38:17 > 0:38:20- You think this is malaria? - No. No, it's not malaria.

0:38:20 > 0:38:22What then?

0:38:22 > 0:38:25Can you remember if you ate pork whilst you were there?

0:38:25 > 0:38:29Yeah. Yeah, I did, we had barbecues, street food, that sort of thing.

0:38:29 > 0:38:32- And I'm guessing the...the hygiene wasn't top notch?- No.

0:38:35 > 0:38:37Right, back in a minute.

0:38:37 > 0:38:38But what's wrong with me?

0:38:40 > 0:38:43- It's a parasite. - Sorry?

0:38:43 > 0:38:47Three years ago, he went travelling around Vietnam. And he ate pork.

0:38:47 > 0:38:48What are you talking about?

0:38:48 > 0:38:51OK, where there's pork, there's neurocysticercosis.

0:38:51 > 0:38:55- Tapeworm.- Yeah.- That is a bit of a stab in the dark, if you ask me.

0:38:55 > 0:38:57No, I had a similar case in my last hospital.

0:38:57 > 0:38:59Actually, almost identical.

0:38:59 > 0:39:0144-year-old woman, recently back from an aid mission.

0:39:01 > 0:39:05- Nearly killed her.- It is extremely rare and his CT scan didn't show it.

0:39:05 > 0:39:07Yes, but you were looking for a tumour.

0:39:07 > 0:39:09A tapeworm cyst could be tiny, much harder to spot.

0:39:09 > 0:39:11OK, let's have a look.

0:39:13 > 0:39:16OK. Right, enhance it.

0:39:18 > 0:39:21Yeah, see there, that dark area with the white edge.

0:39:21 > 0:39:23Hydatid cyst.

0:39:23 > 0:39:25Tapeworm.

0:39:33 > 0:39:36Hey, trouble. How you feeling?

0:39:36 > 0:39:39Like I've got the world's worst hangover.

0:39:39 > 0:39:40You gave us some fright.

0:39:40 > 0:39:43- I'm sorry. - Why on earth did you take it?

0:39:44 > 0:39:47Where's Jason?

0:39:47 > 0:39:50He didn't come. He bolted.

0:39:50 > 0:39:53Ella, he's a coward. You can do so much better.

0:39:53 > 0:39:56Hey, you all right, princess?

0:39:56 > 0:39:59Yeah. Thank you for, you know...

0:39:59 > 0:40:03It's all right. What I'm paid for.

0:40:03 > 0:40:05So your dad on his way then?

0:40:07 > 0:40:09You haven't told him, have you?

0:40:09 > 0:40:13No. She didn't want me to and she is a patient.

0:40:13 > 0:40:17I've just moved in. He'll go nuts, kick me out. Please.

0:40:17 > 0:40:19No, he's your dad, Ella, he needs to know.

0:40:19 > 0:40:21You were young once, weren't you?

0:40:21 > 0:40:24- You did stupid things, things you regret.- Yeah, but...

0:40:24 > 0:40:27If he finds out I've taken drugs...

0:40:27 > 0:40:29he'll be so disappointed.

0:40:29 > 0:40:33Seriously, why hurt him?

0:40:33 > 0:40:35I swear, I won't do it again.

0:40:35 > 0:40:38I've learnt my lesson. I really, really have.

0:40:43 > 0:40:45- OK.- Thank you.

0:41:39 > 0:41:41I can't do it on my own, Kez.

0:41:44 > 0:41:47I just can't.

0:41:47 > 0:41:48I just can't do it.

0:41:53 > 0:41:54OK, you seem nice and stable.

0:41:54 > 0:41:57- So, I think you're fine to be discharged.- Great.

0:41:57 > 0:42:00And your dad's on his way. BOTH: What?

0:42:00 > 0:42:03- Dr Ashford's on his way to collect you.- You called him?

0:42:03 > 0:42:06Well, a nurse did.

0:42:06 > 0:42:08So fired.

0:42:08 > 0:42:10- He's your next of kin. - Yeah, I said not to call him.

0:42:12 > 0:42:15Not to me you didn't, sorry.

0:42:15 > 0:42:18So, so fired.

0:42:32 > 0:42:34OK, lovely, mind how you go.

0:42:42 > 0:42:43She's still here.

0:42:44 > 0:42:47Yes, for some reason, it would appear so.

0:42:47 > 0:42:49Please don't tell her I've got worms. She'll run a mile.

0:42:49 > 0:42:52It's, erm, I don't know, migraines or something.

0:42:53 > 0:42:54I'm sorry, Kevin.

0:42:56 > 0:42:59Lucy, I thought you'd gone.

0:42:59 > 0:43:03- Ever tried to get a taxi on a Saturday night?- That was hours ago.

0:43:03 > 0:43:05Yeah.

0:43:05 > 0:43:08You stayed for me, right? To see how I was.

0:43:08 > 0:43:10- No.- Right.

0:43:12 > 0:43:14So, erm...

0:43:14 > 0:43:18it turns out I am properly ill.

0:43:18 > 0:43:20Tapeworm.

0:43:20 > 0:43:21In my brain.

0:43:23 > 0:43:25It's really serious. It could be fatal.

0:43:25 > 0:43:27But it's not a tumour.

0:43:27 > 0:43:30No. I'm sorry, OK?

0:43:31 > 0:43:35I liked you, Kevin. Just you.

0:43:35 > 0:43:37- Really?- Really.

0:43:39 > 0:43:42Forget it ever happened.

0:43:42 > 0:43:44Just me and you, yeah?

0:43:45 > 0:43:46No.

0:43:46 > 0:43:49PHONE BEEPS

0:43:49 > 0:43:51Finally.

0:43:51 > 0:43:54Good luck, Kevin Robertson.

0:43:54 > 0:43:58Next girl you meet, be yourself.

0:43:58 > 0:43:59Yeah.

0:44:13 > 0:44:15Very impressive, Dr Knight.

0:44:15 > 0:44:17Thank you, Dr Chao.

0:44:17 > 0:44:21So, erm, how about that drink?

0:44:21 > 0:44:24Hmm.

0:44:24 > 0:44:25No.

0:44:28 > 0:44:31Close, but no cigar.

0:45:28 > 0:45:30- Sean? - No change.

0:45:34 > 0:45:37They're taking him for more tests, so I better go.

0:45:37 > 0:45:38Yeah.

0:46:00 > 0:46:02Thanks.

0:46:05 > 0:46:06You told him.

0:46:10 > 0:46:12Look, if you want to make a complaint, I'll go get you a form.

0:46:15 > 0:46:17Thank you.

0:46:17 > 0:46:19Get some rest.

0:46:24 > 0:46:26Don't worry about it, you look fine.

0:46:31 > 0:46:32- Go.- What?

0:46:32 > 0:46:35I won't say I was with you tonight. He'll never know.

0:46:35 > 0:46:38I can't - I'm a terrible liar. My face goes all red.

0:46:38 > 0:46:41It's not a lie - it's just not telling him.

0:46:41 > 0:46:43He'll make your life a misery.

0:46:43 > 0:46:45- Are you sure? - Positive.- OK, cheers.

0:46:54 > 0:46:57- Are you OK?- Yeah, just too much to drink...again.

0:46:57 > 0:46:59I need to speak to the doctor who treated you.

0:46:59 > 0:47:02- Can I just go home? I'm fine. - It'll only take a minute.

0:47:02 > 0:47:06Dad, please, can we just go home?

0:47:06 > 0:47:08It's really busy, it'll take ages.

0:47:08 > 0:47:11- I'm really tired. - OK.

0:47:14 > 0:47:16When are you going to learn, Ella?

0:47:18 > 0:47:21OK, let's refund your deposit and get your winnings back.

0:47:21 > 0:47:23Mrs Fletch is really excited about this.

0:47:23 > 0:47:26Especially after all the fun and games in the last 12 months.

0:47:26 > 0:47:29A family break is exactly what we need.

0:47:29 > 0:47:31Yeah, little caravan on the beach during the day,

0:47:31 > 0:47:34few beers in the evening when the kids are asleep.

0:47:36 > 0:47:40- Fletch?- I'm going to have to ask Tess about some time off.- Mate...

0:47:40 > 0:47:43the market collapsed just before the close,

0:47:43 > 0:47:45you've lost the lot.

0:47:46 > 0:47:48No, I sold it.

0:47:48 > 0:47:50Did you wait for the confirmation price?

0:47:50 > 0:47:53It takes about half a minute after you have sold.

0:47:53 > 0:47:54Well, I didn't know about that.

0:47:54 > 0:47:57You didn't tell me about that, did you?

0:47:57 > 0:48:00Look, you win some, you lose some, OK?

0:48:00 > 0:48:04It was only a monkey. It's not like someone's died, huh?

0:48:06 > 0:48:07No...

0:48:09 > 0:48:10..not yet.

0:48:10 > 0:48:12PHONE BEEPS

0:48:16 > 0:48:18Got another RTC coming in, Fletch.

0:48:18 > 0:48:20This is Sonia Murray. She's 48.

0:48:20 > 0:48:23She's a rear seat passenger involved in an RTC about 30mph.

0:48:23 > 0:48:26She got a dislocated right shoulder...

0:48:36 > 0:48:38- Fletch?- Yeah, coming.
