0:22:11 > 0:22:16So, they might have to remove the bad skin and graft new on top?
0:22:16 > 0:22:19No, the doctors will try and save everything they can
0:22:19 > 0:22:21that's worth saving.
0:22:21 > 0:22:23Personal taste aside.
0:22:23 > 0:22:25Yeah, but what if someone was to
0:22:25 > 0:22:27give the A&E docs a nudge... to do it?
0:22:28 > 0:22:33I mean, if you knew someone at St Phil's, or Heston did,
0:22:33 > 0:22:35you could put in a good word.
0:22:35 > 0:22:37I'd do it myself, but, erm...
0:22:37 > 0:22:40I missed the last Surgeon's Ball, so...
0:22:41 > 0:22:44In theory, yeah, if there was consent.
0:22:46 > 0:22:48Hopefully you're through the worst of it now.
0:22:48 > 0:22:51Tramadol kicking in soon. It should make you feel a lot better.
0:22:53 > 0:22:55Yeah.
0:22:56 > 0:22:57It's starting to.
0:22:58 > 0:23:00'Yeah. Not long now.
0:23:02 > 0:23:05'All be over before you know it.
0:23:05 > 0:23:09'No more hassle. No more sleepless nights.
0:23:09 > 0:23:12'No more reasons to get up.
0:23:12 > 0:23:13'Just sleep.
0:23:14 > 0:23:17'Ladies and Gentlemen, Owen has left the building.
0:23:24 > 0:23:26'Today is the day.'
0:23:30 > 0:23:33I still don't know how you've managed this far with Viagra.
0:23:33 > 0:23:35Necessity.
0:23:35 > 0:23:37We do what we must.
0:23:37 > 0:23:41I've got warfarin and a nebuliser. Should make things easier.
0:23:41 > 0:23:43It's just a question of finding the right balance.
0:23:43 > 0:23:48And you know if you need any more help, you can always come back.
0:23:48 > 0:23:50Thank you.
0:23:50 > 0:23:51KNOCK ON DOOR
0:24:05 > 0:24:06Are they illegal, too?
0:24:09 > 0:24:11I became a doctor to care for those in need.
0:24:11 > 0:24:13Whatever the circumstances.
0:24:26 > 0:24:28Some of us are looking at the stars.
0:24:40 > 0:24:42'So...
0:24:43 > 0:24:45'..how does it all end?'
0:24:45 > 0:24:47Thank you.
0:24:47 > 0:24:48'And what was the point?'
0:24:48 > 0:24:50You know...
0:24:50 > 0:24:52for giving me a chance.
0:24:52 > 0:24:55Well, you'll probably have scars...
0:24:55 > 0:24:56Who cares?
0:24:58 > 0:25:01Going to get another tattoo to cover it anyway.
0:25:01 > 0:25:03A rose.
0:25:11 > 0:25:13'Are there six degrees separating us?'
0:25:13 > 0:25:15Doctor...
0:25:15 > 0:25:17- 'Or seven?'- Thank you.
0:25:17 > 0:25:18'Or one?'
0:25:20 > 0:25:24'Well, how long have you got?
0:25:24 > 0:25:27'Truth is, I don't know.'
0:25:27 > 0:25:29Oi, mate!
0:25:29 > 0:25:32Are you all right?
0:25:35 > 0:25:38Don't wimp out on me now.
0:25:38 > 0:25:39You were all talk before.
0:25:39 > 0:25:44You look like you could do with a hot cup of tea.
0:25:44 > 0:25:45Yeah.
0:25:45 > 0:25:47Six sugars, ta.
0:25:47 > 0:25:52I'm buying. Last one didn't taste too good.
0:25:52 > 0:25:54But this one...
0:25:54 > 0:25:55'All I know,
0:25:55 > 0:25:59'is when someone reaches out,
0:25:59 > 0:26:01'it feels good.'
0:26:25 > 0:26:27Jimmi, I can handle it, all right?
0:26:28 > 0:26:32I know. Makes you wonder why you didn't get into colonic irrigation.
0:26:32 > 0:26:34Dr Cassidy, you're a GP with five years training,
0:26:34 > 0:26:3820 years experience and a not an inconsiderable salary.
0:26:38 > 0:26:40D'you your time would be better spent on patients
0:26:40 > 0:26:41who are actually ill?
0:26:41 > 0:26:42Is everything OK?
0:26:42 > 0:26:45No. No, it isn't.
0:26:45 > 0:26:47- How did that go?- Not a clue.
