0:00:56 > 0:00:58- Morning, Dr Haskey.- Hiya.

0:00:58 > 0:01:00Morning. Any messages?

0:01:00 > 0:01:03- I haven't switched on the phones yet. - No, I mean from yesterday.

0:01:03 > 0:01:07- Er, no.- Al, can I have a quick word with you about Karen?

0:01:07 > 0:01:08Maybe at lunchtime. I'm really busy, sorry.

0:01:11 > 0:01:14I'll give you a lift, then, but hurry up or I'll be late for work.

0:01:14 > 0:01:17- Leave me alone!- Darling, we agreed you'd give it a go today.

0:01:17 > 0:01:20- I don't feel well. - Have you got PE? I'll write a note.

0:01:20 > 0:01:22I'm not going to school!

0:01:22 > 0:01:24Go in till lunchtime, see how you feel.

0:01:24 > 0:01:25Are you deaf?! I'm not going!

0:01:25 > 0:01:28That's it! There's nothing wrong with you! Now, get up!

0:01:40 > 0:01:42Good morning. How may I help you?

0:01:42 > 0:01:44I'd like to see Dr Carmichael, please.

0:01:44 > 0:01:47I'll be with you shortly, Mr Pattimore.

0:01:47 > 0:01:49I thought you were supposed to be off this morning?

0:01:49 > 0:01:50I'm taking a couple of hours.

0:01:50 > 0:01:52- Hermione's meeting me here. - Lucky boy!

0:01:52 > 0:01:56Oh, hello, yes. Is Marie available, please?

0:01:56 > 0:01:58I'm a great friend of Mrs Tembe.

0:01:58 > 0:01:59Is that a personal call?

0:01:59 > 0:02:01Please, take a seat.

0:02:03 > 0:02:05Er, how may I help you?

0:02:05 > 0:02:07You're all right - I'm with Mr Grumpy.

0:02:08 > 0:02:11Hello? Oh, yes, hello, Marie!

0:02:11 > 0:02:13I'm sorry to bother you

0:02:13 > 0:02:17but I am in desperate need of a birthday cake.

0:02:18 > 0:02:22Yes, I'd be willing to pay extra - well, my useless partner is.

0:02:22 > 0:02:25Tomorrow. ..Yes, I know, I know!

0:02:27 > 0:02:29I'd be so grateful.

0:02:29 > 0:02:31Oh, you would?

0:02:31 > 0:02:33Oh, thank you, thank you so much!

0:02:33 > 0:02:35Well, he simply adores cats.

0:02:39 > 0:02:42You seem so unhappy - depressed, even.

0:02:42 > 0:02:45I don't know what's going on with you.

0:02:45 > 0:02:48- I'm not depressed.- No?

0:02:49 > 0:02:51Anyway, I'm better now.

0:02:51 > 0:02:54You're not, though, darling. Look at you.

0:02:55 > 0:02:58Come on, boring old Mum might be able to help.

0:02:59 > 0:03:01Everything's fine.

0:03:01 > 0:03:04And your blood sugar is normal, which is excellent.

0:03:07 > 0:03:09Do you live near your brother, Mr Pattimore?

0:03:09 > 0:03:11Gerry! You sound like a judge.

0:03:12 > 0:03:16Joke! No, I'm up here helping him out for a while.

0:03:16 > 0:03:17I'm paying him to take care of me.

0:03:17 > 0:03:20And that needs to be done properly. That's why we're here.

0:03:20 > 0:03:21I see.

0:03:21 > 0:03:24I'd like comprehensive information on leg ulcers

0:03:24 > 0:03:29and my other conditions, and some diet sheets for my diabetes.

0:03:29 > 0:03:32Gerald needs to be fully informed about what the job entails.

0:03:32 > 0:03:35I think I can manage a bit of cooking and cleaning, Paul.

0:03:35 > 0:03:37I've done it for myself for the last few years.

0:03:37 > 0:03:40Only because your third wife divorced you.

0:03:40 > 0:03:44He's been married three times with two children from each marriage.

0:03:44 > 0:03:47What can I say? I've had a busy life.

0:03:47 > 0:03:49You've had more wives than you've had jobs -

0:03:49 > 0:03:51so not THAT busy, in fact.

0:03:51 > 0:03:55Tough times for painter-decorators, Paul. Everyone's doing their own.

0:03:55 > 0:03:58Don't suppose YOU want any painting done, Doc?

0:03:58 > 0:04:02- Sorry, no.- You won't be sloping off on MY time, let me tell you.

0:04:04 > 0:04:07So, here is the information you asked for and there will be

0:04:07 > 0:04:10leaflets on hypertension and asthma in reception.

0:04:10 > 0:04:13Is there anything else that you wanted to know?

0:04:13 > 0:04:16Recommended fluid intake, how much I should keep my legs up, etc, etc.

0:04:16 > 0:04:19Normal fluid intake and put your feet up as much as possible.

0:04:21 > 0:04:23Are you listening, Gerald?

0:04:23 > 0:04:24This is for YOUR benefit.

0:04:24 > 0:04:27- I- know all about my complex health issues.

0:04:27 > 0:04:29Thanks. Help me sleep.

0:04:31 > 0:04:33So, if that's all, gentlemen?

0:04:33 > 0:04:36What if he needs clarification, about my diabetes?

0:04:36 > 0:04:40Then, contact me and I will clarify. Don't worry, Mr Pattimore,

0:04:40 > 0:04:42I'm sure your brother can cope.

0:04:42 > 0:04:44Now, I do have other patients.

0:04:47 > 0:04:49It's been so horrible.

0:04:49 > 0:04:52What, darling? What's been horrible?

0:04:52 > 0:04:55You're not worried about being ill, are you?

0:04:55 > 0:04:59I shouldn't have made such a fuss, I didn't mean to frighten you.

0:04:59 > 0:05:01Dr Haskey was so reassuring yesterday.

0:05:01 > 0:05:04Would you like me to ring him again? He'll put your mind at rest.

0:05:04 > 0:05:06No, don't. It's not that.

0:05:08 > 0:05:10Oh, Mum, I wanted to tell you.

0:05:10 > 0:05:12I did. Honestly I did.

0:05:15 > 0:05:17I'm so sorry, Mum.

0:05:19 > 0:05:20I...

0:05:24 > 0:05:26I had an abortion.

0:05:52 > 0:05:54Stop! Why are you sweeping?

0:05:54 > 0:05:56It says "vacuum", not "sweep". Can't you read?

0:05:56 > 0:06:00Funny word, "vacuum". Why's it got two "U"s, do you think?

0:06:00 > 0:06:05- I knew this would happen.- What are you doing? Phoning the dust police?

0:06:07 > 0:06:12PHONE RINGS Campus Surgery. How may I help you?

0:06:12 > 0:06:14'Mrs Tembe, this is Paul Pattimore.'

0:06:14 > 0:06:17I need the doctor to speak to my brother about allergy awareness.

0:06:17 > 0:06:19'One moment, please.'

0:06:19 > 0:06:22- She'll be seeing patients. - This is important.

0:06:23 > 0:06:26Mr Pattimore. Something about allergies.

0:06:26 > 0:06:28He's such a fusspot. Tell him I'm busy.

0:06:30 > 0:06:32I AM busy!

0:06:35 > 0:06:38I'm sorry, Dr Carmichael is unavailable at the moment.

0:06:38 > 0:06:42- Please stress that it's urgent. - 'Mr Pattimore, are you unwell?'

0:06:42 > 0:06:45No, but I will if my asthma is triggered.

0:06:45 > 0:06:47- (He's fine.)- I knew it!

0:06:47 > 0:06:50Tell him I'll speak to him if he's actually dying.

0:06:51 > 0:06:56Mr Pattimore, please call us if you need treatment. Good day.

0:06:57 > 0:07:00- DIALLING TONE - Hello? This is crucial. Hello?

0:07:00 > 0:07:02Not THAT crucial, then.

0:07:02 > 0:07:04Why don't you put your feet up?

0:07:04 > 0:07:06I'll make you a cuppa before I go shopping.

0:07:07 > 0:07:10Today's lunch is cottage pie with garden peas.

0:07:10 > 0:07:13Don't disappoint me, Gerald.

0:07:13 > 0:07:16I have it at 12:30 on the dot.

0:07:20 > 0:07:22I knew we shouldn't have,

0:07:22 > 0:07:25but it seemed right, you know?

0:07:26 > 0:07:28And the condom split.

0:07:28 > 0:07:30I don't think Josh had it on right, anyway.

0:07:30 > 0:07:34Why didn't you tell me? You must have been worried sick.

0:07:34 > 0:07:36I was, but...

0:07:38 > 0:07:42- Sorry, Mum, I knew what you'd say... and- I- couldn't bring up the baby.

0:07:42 > 0:07:44Yes, but I...

0:07:44 > 0:07:49And if YOU took care of it, you'd have to give up work. But why?

0:07:52 > 0:07:55Mum, I know you hate abortions but...

0:07:55 > 0:07:57- I don't hate abortion!- Yes, you do.

0:07:57 > 0:08:01You're always saying how hard you had to fight Dad to keep me.

0:08:02 > 0:08:04But I was older, married.

0:08:04 > 0:08:09We already had children. It was completely different.

0:08:09 > 0:08:14I don't hate abortion, Fliss, it just depends on the circumstances.

0:08:15 > 0:08:20Oh. Then, you can understand why I did it.

0:08:20 > 0:08:22You did this on your own?

0:08:22 > 0:08:25No, Dr Haskey took me,

0:08:25 > 0:08:27which was so nice of him,

0:08:27 > 0:08:30cos I didn't have enough pocket money for a taxi.

0:08:30 > 0:08:33Our Dr Haskey? From the Mill?

0:08:33 > 0:08:36Yes, he's been brilliant, Mum. Really brilliant.

0:08:40 > 0:08:44OK...which one?

0:08:44 > 0:08:46They're both very nice.

0:08:46 > 0:08:48But which one is more fun?

0:08:48 > 0:08:51- Right, we're leaving. - OK, which one do you prefer?

0:08:51 > 0:08:52- That one.- That one.

0:08:52 > 0:08:54Really?

0:08:54 > 0:08:56See you later.

0:08:56 > 0:08:58I prefer THIS one.

0:09:03 > 0:09:04I'm so sorry.

0:09:04 > 0:09:07I can't believe you had to go through this all on your own.

0:09:07 > 0:09:11- I knew you'd be cross. - I'm not cross with you, darling,

0:09:11 > 0:09:14I'm sure you did what you thought was best.

0:09:14 > 0:09:17I tried to. I meant to.

0:09:19 > 0:09:21It seemed so obvious.

0:09:24 > 0:09:28But now, I can't help thinking.

0:09:28 > 0:09:31I can't stop thinking about...

0:09:31 > 0:09:35Oh, sweetheart. It's over now, OK? Everything is fine.

0:09:35 > 0:09:38You can relax now. Yes?

0:09:40 > 0:09:41Yes.

0:09:45 > 0:09:47# Flap, flap! #

0:09:49 > 0:09:51- OK?- Yeah.

0:09:56 > 0:09:59Why don't I ask Pam to pop over for an hour or so?

0:09:59 > 0:10:01You're not going to work?

0:10:01 > 0:10:03I'll grab some files then I can work from home.

0:10:05 > 0:10:09- Can you ask Pam to bring over some of her shortbread?- Course I can.

0:10:21 > 0:10:24HE WHISTLES

0:10:51 > 0:10:55Ah, I'd get rid of the soft toys - way too obvious.

0:10:55 > 0:10:58Aw, it's colourful, it's cute. Look at the little duck!

0:10:58 > 0:11:03OMG, you're broody! Ooh-ho! Jimmi Clay is broody!

0:11:03 > 0:11:05Sssh!

0:11:05 > 0:11:06Get real, though, there's no way

0:11:06 > 0:11:08you'd be able to cope with dirty nappies!

0:11:08 > 0:11:12I'd be terrified I left it on the bus,

0:11:12 > 0:11:13but you...

0:11:13 > 0:11:16My work gets pretty messy sometimes. I manage.

0:11:16 > 0:11:19But come on! Being a parent is full on.

0:11:19 > 0:11:21- You can't walk away at 6 o'clock. - I know that.

0:11:23 > 0:11:25Course you do, sorry.

0:11:25 > 0:11:27I just know any child of mine would be certifiable!

0:11:27 > 0:11:29Not necessarily.

0:11:29 > 0:11:31If nature didn't mess the poor kid up,

0:11:31 > 0:11:33my brand of nurture certainly would!

0:11:33 > 0:11:34Hey, let's be daring!

0:11:34 > 0:11:36Cheesecake with...custard?

0:11:36 > 0:11:38- I'm buying.- Oh!

0:11:46 > 0:11:48Your feast awaits.

0:11:52 > 0:11:53Cold.

0:12:02 > 0:12:06Do you know how much sugar and salt there are in these products?

0:12:06 > 0:12:08Yeah... It's very tasty.

0:12:08 > 0:12:10It says "home-made".

0:12:12 > 0:12:15Sorry, Paul, but I was on the coach at 6am

0:12:15 > 0:12:20and we went straight to the doctor's this morning so I needed a rest.

0:12:20 > 0:12:22Go on, try a mouthful.

0:12:22 > 0:12:25That muck will not pass my lips.

0:12:25 > 0:12:27I'll have a cheddar cheese sandwich now

0:12:27 > 0:12:30and you can make cottage pie for tea.

0:12:30 > 0:12:33I'll go shopping later, but let's not waste this.

0:12:33 > 0:12:34Cheese sandwich.

0:12:34 > 0:12:36And I'm not giving you a penny for that -

0:12:36 > 0:12:39perhaps that'll teach you a lesson. Nothing else will, it seems.

0:12:39 > 0:12:41Very nice!

0:12:41 > 0:12:44If I don't eat at 12:30 on the dot, my blood sugar drops

0:12:44 > 0:12:47and I risk having a hypoglycaemic attack.

0:12:48 > 0:12:50Gerald, sandwich!

0:12:52 > 0:12:55Right. I'm in need of a pint. You fancy a pint?

0:12:55 > 0:12:56I can't drink beer!

0:12:58 > 0:13:00I can. See you later.

0:13:00 > 0:13:03I'm already feeling light-headed.

0:13:03 > 0:13:04Pig-headed, you mean.

0:13:04 > 0:13:06Come back this instant!

0:13:07 > 0:13:09And that was 2007.

0:13:09 > 0:13:12You can't just... Sorry! You can't...

0:13:12 > 0:13:15Valerie, it's all right, it's fine.

0:13:15 > 0:13:17It's not fine.

0:13:17 > 0:13:20I'm in the middle of a consultation. But I will see you after.

0:13:20 > 0:13:22- OK?- You'd better.

0:13:42 > 0:13:44I'll see you next week, Mr Saunders.

0:13:48 > 0:13:49Take a seat.

0:13:49 > 0:13:52I don't want a seat, I want an explanation.

0:13:52 > 0:13:56I'm afraid I'm bound by patient confidentiality.

0:13:56 > 0:13:59You helped my underage daughter have an abortion. She told me.

0:13:59 > 0:14:02So it's out in the open now.

0:14:02 > 0:14:06When a patient comes to see me, I advise on all their options.

0:14:06 > 0:14:10And did you explain her first option was to talk to ME?

0:14:10 > 0:14:15Of course I did. This was her choice, Mrs Henning, not mine.

0:14:15 > 0:14:18You stood in my house, you said she was fine.

0:14:18 > 0:14:20She is not fine!

0:14:20 > 0:14:23You were concerned about her health. She's not unwell.

0:14:23 > 0:14:27- I'm her mother... - I'm sure you're a very good one.

0:14:27 > 0:14:28Then, why didn't you make her tell me?

0:14:28 > 0:14:30This was HER decision.

0:14:30 > 0:14:34It's my duty as her doctor to support that decision.

0:14:36 > 0:14:39Oh, Dr Carmichael. Just the person.

0:14:39 > 0:14:41- Mr Pattimore.- Gerry.

0:14:41 > 0:14:43Actually I was just on my way out.

0:14:43 > 0:14:45I had a quick question for you.

0:14:45 > 0:14:47You did say if I had any questions...

0:14:47 > 0:14:49So I did.

0:14:49 > 0:14:52How long would it take someone - well, someone diabetic -

0:14:52 > 0:14:55to have a hypo if they stopped eating?

0:14:55 > 0:14:56Has your brother stopped eating?

0:14:56 > 0:14:58He wouldn't eat his lunch.

0:14:58 > 0:15:02- Right.- Only, he said something about feeling dizzy.

0:15:02 > 0:15:04Dizzy?

0:15:04 > 0:15:05I hope he's OK.

0:15:05 > 0:15:08It's going to take me ages to get back there.

0:15:12 > 0:15:16- Can't you just ring him? - I've tried. No answer.

0:15:19 > 0:15:21OK, I can drop you on the high street.

0:15:21 > 0:15:25Doc, you, er, wouldn't give him the once-over, would you?

0:15:25 > 0:15:27I examined him this morning!

0:15:27 > 0:15:30I know he's a pain, but none of our sisters will talk to him.

0:15:30 > 0:15:34He's been on his own too long, that's the trouble.

0:15:34 > 0:15:37I'm supposed to be helping him get better, not making him worse.

0:15:39 > 0:15:42OK. But we will have to hurry up.

0:15:42 > 0:15:44Cheers. I wish you were my doctor.

0:15:44 > 0:15:46SHE GROANS

0:15:46 > 0:15:49This whole thing happened right under my nose -

0:15:49 > 0:15:53I didn't have a single clue! Do you know how that feels?

0:15:53 > 0:15:54Teenagers are good at secrets.

0:15:54 > 0:15:57Fliss isn't. Fliss tells me everything, she always has.

0:15:57 > 0:16:01- Really? Everything? - What do you mean by that?!

0:16:01 > 0:16:02Look, Mrs Henning, perhaps we should speak when...

0:16:02 > 0:16:06Oh, I see. She didn't tell me she'd had sex - that's what you mean.

0:16:08 > 0:16:12When children grow up, it can be really hard to let go.

0:16:12 > 0:16:14Excuse me?

0:16:14 > 0:16:17Bottom line - she didn't want you to know, Mrs Henning.

0:16:17 > 0:16:19Because she thought I'd stop her? That's ridiculous!

0:16:19 > 0:16:22- Is it? So you're not against abortion?- No, I'm not!

0:16:24 > 0:16:25Um, OK.

0:16:25 > 0:16:28Perhaps this would be a good point for me

0:16:28 > 0:16:30to explain the Fraser guidelines...

0:16:30 > 0:16:33I know all about the Fraser guidelines, thank you.

0:16:33 > 0:16:36I've been on the phone to Social Services while you kept me waiting.

0:16:36 > 0:16:38Paul?

0:16:39 > 0:16:41You all right?

0:16:45 > 0:16:50Oh, my word! In here, Doctor! Paul, can you hear me?

0:16:50 > 0:16:51I'm so sorry.

0:16:53 > 0:16:55Shall I call an ambulance?

0:16:55 > 0:16:56No, no. I'm OK.

0:16:59 > 0:17:00I'll get him a biscuit.

0:17:00 > 0:17:04Please don't move, Mr Pattimore. It's Dr Carmichael.

0:17:04 > 0:17:05I'm going to check you over.

0:17:08 > 0:17:10And you think Fliss is mature?

0:17:10 > 0:17:13She still takes her teddy to bed.

0:17:13 > 0:17:15And we both know how naive she is.

0:17:15 > 0:17:18- How so?- Well, she didn't think twice about the condom splitting,

0:17:18 > 0:17:21otherwise she'd have taken the morning-after pill.

0:17:21 > 0:17:25Have you got children of your own? Teenagers?

0:17:25 > 0:17:29Two signatures were required, Mrs Henning - wasn't just mine.

0:17:29 > 0:17:32You're her GP. Your word is bound to count for more.

0:17:32 > 0:17:34But without experience of teenagers,

0:17:34 > 0:17:36how the hell can you judge maturity?!

0:17:39 > 0:17:44BP is fine, blood sugar normal, no broken bones.

0:17:44 > 0:17:46Thank goodness.

0:17:46 > 0:17:48How about a cup of tea, Gerry?

0:17:50 > 0:17:51Right-o.

0:17:54 > 0:17:56Thank you. It wasn't necessary.

0:17:56 > 0:17:58He overreacted.

0:17:58 > 0:18:00No, Mr Pattimore, it wasn't necessary.

0:18:00 > 0:18:03If he'd done things properly, everything would have been fine.

0:18:03 > 0:18:04Everything IS fine.

0:18:04 > 0:18:08- Although there is actually a medical term for what happened.- Yes?

0:18:08 > 0:18:10It's called sulking.

0:18:10 > 0:18:13Not at all! I needed some home-made cottage pie.

0:18:13 > 0:18:16- He wouldn't make it. - I'm a busy person, Mr Pattimore.

0:18:16 > 0:18:18I do not have time to be drawn into your silly games.

0:18:18 > 0:18:21It's not silly! I'm paying him to look after me!

0:18:21 > 0:18:22And isn't he trying to?

0:18:22 > 0:18:25Not up to your high standards, perhaps, but he is trying.

0:18:25 > 0:18:26- Isn't that enough?- No, it isn't!

0:18:26 > 0:18:29Your brother obviously has a very different outlook on life to you,

0:18:29 > 0:18:31but he's not hurting anybody.

0:18:31 > 0:18:33He's hurting ME! I could have had a hypo.

0:18:33 > 0:18:35That was nothing like a hypo.

0:18:35 > 0:18:38He can never do as he's told. He never could.

0:18:38 > 0:18:40He wagged school, failed his exams -

0:18:40 > 0:18:42just like my useless sisters!

0:18:42 > 0:18:43Mr Pattimore...

0:18:43 > 0:18:45He comes grovelling to me for money

0:18:45 > 0:18:48and I'm kind enough to give him another chance -

0:18:48 > 0:18:51goodness knows why - and he can't even do THIS properly.

0:18:51 > 0:18:54No wonder he's penniless. He's an embarrassment!

0:19:02 > 0:19:04Drum roll, please.

0:19:07 > 0:19:10BABY STARTS SCREAMING AND CRYING

0:19:10 > 0:19:11Oh, crikey!

0:19:12 > 0:19:14Don't worry, she's OK.

0:19:14 > 0:19:17- My eardrums aren't!- It's a family-friendly place, isn't it?

0:19:17 > 0:19:20We need ear defenders.

0:19:20 > 0:19:22Still think you want kids?

0:19:26 > 0:19:28I have serious medical conditions

0:19:28 > 0:19:32and I have to follow Dr Carmichael's advice to the letter, don't I?

0:19:32 > 0:19:35Yes, in a perfect world, but there has to be

0:19:35 > 0:19:37a bit of give and take, otherwise you'll just make yourself miserable.

0:19:37 > 0:19:40Well, I'm not miserable. This is how I live, how I've always been.

0:19:40 > 0:19:44- Miserable.- Follow the rules and everything will be fine.

0:19:44 > 0:19:49He's a control freak - he always has been. Where's the joy, Paul?

0:19:49 > 0:19:53Joy?! There's every joy in doing things properly, Gerald.

0:19:53 > 0:19:56Still, what would you know? You've never followed a rule in your life.

0:19:56 > 0:20:00- Same as our sisters.- I DID follow rules - at school. I did.

0:20:00 > 0:20:03I got prizes for my drawings and being good.

0:20:03 > 0:20:05So did Mary and Christine, even little Penny.

0:20:05 > 0:20:07Our dad burnt the lot.

0:20:08 > 0:20:10You've only yourselves to blame.

0:20:10 > 0:20:12Our father was a terrible man.

0:20:12 > 0:20:17Paul was the oldest. He never lifted one finger to stop him.

0:20:17 > 0:20:20- I was barely 13. What could- I- do?

0:20:20 > 0:20:23Dad battered our mum to within an inch of her life.

0:20:23 > 0:20:26But this fine man, this upright citizen kept shtoom.

0:20:26 > 0:20:29- Even put him to bed afterwards. - Someone had to.

0:20:29 > 0:20:32No! Someone had to help Mum!

0:20:33 > 0:20:36We tried - me and the girls tried! But it cost us.

0:20:36 > 0:20:40None of our sisters have spoken a word to him since we buried our mum.

0:20:44 > 0:20:48I did my very best to support Fliss, Mrs Henning.

0:20:48 > 0:20:51She deserved to have someone with her, holding her hand,

0:20:51 > 0:20:53reassuring her. Don't you think?

0:20:53 > 0:20:56That was my little girl you took to the clinic.

0:20:56 > 0:21:00She must've been terrified going into that place.

0:21:00 > 0:21:02She seemed really calm.

0:21:02 > 0:21:05She can't have FELT calm, can she?

0:21:05 > 0:21:07But how the hell do you know?!

0:21:07 > 0:21:10You've no clue about her!

0:21:10 > 0:21:13What if something had happened? What if something had gone wrong?

0:21:13 > 0:21:16How would we have found out? Can you imagine?!

0:21:16 > 0:21:17You're just upsetting yourself now.

0:21:17 > 0:21:22What?! I should have been part of this.

0:21:22 > 0:21:24As should my husband.

0:21:24 > 0:21:28He's at a conference in Dubai, but he will go ballistic.

0:21:28 > 0:21:31He's a lawyer - did I mention that?

0:21:33 > 0:21:35You can expect to hear from us.

0:21:44 > 0:21:47His wives kicked him out - all of them.

0:21:47 > 0:21:51No-one wants him, the useless lump. Same as my sisters.

0:21:51 > 0:21:53I bet his kids are just the same.

0:21:53 > 0:21:55I can't believe I stuck up for him all these years!

0:21:55 > 0:21:59I told the girls he didn't realise how bad things were,

0:21:59 > 0:22:01he was too busy to notice, I said,

0:22:01 > 0:22:03otherwise he would have offered to help.

0:22:03 > 0:22:05Any decent person would.

0:22:06 > 0:22:08My kids mean everything to me.

0:22:08 > 0:22:11I give 'em every penny I've got - I always have.

0:22:11 > 0:22:14Why d'you think I'm here, taking all your crap again?

0:22:14 > 0:22:17You're obviously the wrong person for this job.

0:22:17 > 0:22:20It needs someone more stable.

0:22:20 > 0:22:22OK, this is silly.

0:22:22 > 0:22:25I'm phoning the Sundown Care Home.

0:22:25 > 0:22:27Sundown?! That's a bit pricey.

0:22:27 > 0:22:29It's only till my leg's better.

0:22:29 > 0:22:31They'll appreciate my hard-earned money.

0:22:31 > 0:22:34Yeah, you pay them, Paul. You pay them to care.

0:22:34 > 0:22:38Cos no-one else will. I'll get my bag.

0:22:42 > 0:22:44His choice!

0:22:44 > 0:22:46Anyway, I'm better off on my own.

0:22:46 > 0:22:48Always have been.

0:22:52 > 0:22:54Aren't you the teeniest bit lonely?

0:22:56 > 0:23:00Most of my older patients just tell me how important family is to them.

0:23:00 > 0:23:03You heard what he said - they hate me.

0:23:03 > 0:23:05He doesn't. Well, he didn't.

0:23:05 > 0:23:10Can't you just learn to compromise a little bit, Mr Pattimore?

0:23:10 > 0:23:13I know that you'd far rather stay in your own home.

0:23:15 > 0:23:16Perhaps.

0:23:17 > 0:23:19I'll sling me hook.

0:23:19 > 0:23:23Gerry, your brother has something to say to you.

0:23:29 > 0:23:31I'll phone the care home.

0:23:40 > 0:23:42Back home, then?

0:23:42 > 0:23:45Yeah. It's fine by me, Doc.

0:23:45 > 0:23:50Cos my lot down there - we fall out, make up, have a laugh.

0:23:50 > 0:23:52We look out for each other, always have.

0:23:52 > 0:23:53Good for you.

0:23:53 > 0:23:57Him? If he can't control things -

0:23:57 > 0:23:59well, everything down to the last detail -

0:23:59 > 0:24:02he can't cope. Sad, really.

0:24:04 > 0:24:06I suppose so.

0:24:08 > 0:24:11Can I give you a lift to the station?

0:24:11 > 0:24:13No, no, I've got things to do.

0:24:15 > 0:24:17Bye, then. Good luck.

0:24:28 > 0:24:32- Mrs Henning...- All right, darling I'll be ten minutes. Bye.

0:24:32 > 0:24:34Look, I just wanted to say that...

0:24:34 > 0:24:36I'm glad Fliss told you.

0:24:36 > 0:24:40Reassurance is exactly what she needs right now.

0:24:40 > 0:24:42It's been a really stressful time.

0:24:42 > 0:24:45I know. I have to get back.

0:24:45 > 0:24:49Some quality TLC will make her right again, trust me on that.

0:24:49 > 0:24:52She can rest up then get back to her studies.

0:24:52 > 0:24:54And maybe when the dust has settled,

0:24:54 > 0:24:58you might want to have a proper talk to her about...contraception.

0:24:59 > 0:25:03I think you're going to find that time is a great healer.

0:25:03 > 0:25:06She hasn't cut her knee. She's had an abortion.

0:25:06 > 0:25:09Do you think this'll just go away?

0:25:09 > 0:25:12She cried - sobbed - in my arms!

0:25:12 > 0:25:14She will learn to deal with it.

0:25:14 > 0:25:16How the hell would YOU know?!

0:25:18 > 0:25:22That's right, I've sketched something. ..Yes, I'll hold.

0:25:24 > 0:25:26What do you think you're doing?!

0:25:27 > 0:25:30Come back with that! That's £200 worth of whisky!

0:25:30 > 0:25:33That's my entire Christmas stock!

0:25:35 > 0:25:37You're going to give me a heart attack!

0:25:37 > 0:25:39Hi, Marie, sorry...

0:25:39 > 0:25:43Actually I've just realised I'm being a complete control freak.

0:25:43 > 0:25:45You're the cake expert -

0:25:45 > 0:25:49I'll trust you to come up with something wonderful.

0:25:49 > 0:25:51Thanks. Bye.

0:25:53 > 0:25:56This cannot be right. What you did cannot be right.

0:25:56 > 0:25:58I simply advised her.

0:25:58 > 0:26:00This was Felicity's decision.

0:26:00 > 0:26:03But she wasn't mature enough to make it!

0:26:03 > 0:26:06And no way is she mature enough to cope with the doubts,

0:26:06 > 0:26:09the perfectly natural doubts that would come after something like this.

0:26:09 > 0:26:12I could refer her for counselling. Would you like me to do that?

0:26:12 > 0:26:15Suddenly you want my opinion. You didn't care what I thought last week.

0:26:15 > 0:26:19- That's not true.- Abortion may have been the right choice, I don't know.

0:26:19 > 0:26:24But the way she decided... The way you guided her, or whatever it was,

0:26:24 > 0:26:27- completely behind my back... - I gave medical advice.

0:26:27 > 0:26:29The way you drove her to appointments,

0:26:29 > 0:26:31talked to the clinic - none of that can be right!

0:26:31 > 0:26:35That's more than medical advice - especially to a 14-year-old!

0:26:35 > 0:26:39- It was a judgment call. - A catastrophic judgment call

0:26:39 > 0:26:42that could haunt my daughter for the rest of her life!

0:26:42 > 0:26:44Come on, I think we're getting things a little out of proportion.

0:26:44 > 0:26:46Out of proportion?! Are you even listening?!

0:26:46 > 0:26:48Of course I'm listening.

0:26:48 > 0:26:50You won't get away with this. I'm not going to rest

0:26:50 > 0:26:51until you're struck off.

0:26:51 > 0:26:55I'm going to make damn sure you never, never do this again.

0:27:06 > 0:27:08She was adamant that she did not want her mother to know.

0:27:08 > 0:27:10She's in pieces.

0:27:10 > 0:27:12She wishes she hadn't got rid of the baby.

0:27:12 > 0:27:15She's going to regret it for the rest of her life -

0:27:15 > 0:27:16and I have to deal with that.

0:27:16 > 0:27:20You don't understand the nuances of a doctor-patient relationship.

0:27:20 > 0:27:24No? Well, now's the perfect opportunity for you to explain it.

0:27:24 > 0:27:28You didn't cross the line but you walked perilously close to it!
