0:00:28 > 0:00:31Stupid boot.
0:00:31 > 0:00:33I'll just have to take them in.
0:00:33 > 0:00:35Fireworks? Indoors?
0:00:35 > 0:00:37Isn't that a little bit dangerous?
0:00:37 > 0:00:40Mrs Tembe handed you the Health and Safety brief, then?
0:00:40 > 0:00:42As it happens, I've got a meeting with her in a bit.
0:00:42 > 0:00:45What? With the Tembe Tower of Power? What you been up to?
0:00:45 > 0:00:47Nothing, expect it's just a chat, motivating the troops,
0:00:47 > 0:00:50as Howard would say.
0:00:50 > 0:00:51Well, would have said. If he was...
0:00:55 > 0:00:56KNOCKING
0:00:56 > 0:00:57Er, come in.
0:00:59 > 0:01:01You wanted to see me?
0:01:01 > 0:01:03Ah, Doctor Donoghue. Ah, please... take a seat.
0:01:07 > 0:01:08So...?
0:01:11 > 0:01:17I, well, we all had the utmost respect for Mr Bellamy.
0:01:17 > 0:01:21And, since taking on this temporary role, my regard for him
0:01:21 > 0:01:23has only increased.
0:01:23 > 0:01:24I'm sure.
0:01:24 > 0:01:26But, maybe, perhaps,
0:01:26 > 0:01:28he should have shared the burden
0:01:28 > 0:01:30of responsibility a little more.
0:01:30 > 0:01:33He wasn't one for delegation.
0:01:33 > 0:01:34No.
0:01:34 > 0:01:39But, I believe, as Nelson Mandela said, "It is
0:01:39 > 0:01:43"better to lead from behind and put others in front."
0:01:47 > 0:01:49So, you want to lead from behind?
0:01:51 > 0:01:55I am looking to empower others.
0:01:55 > 0:01:57That is why I would like you to
0:01:57 > 0:02:03be our liaison between the Patient Participation Group.
0:02:03 > 0:02:04OK.
0:02:04 > 0:02:08It is a sensitive and highly responsible position.
0:02:08 > 0:02:11But I truly believe you are the right person for the role.
0:02:11 > 0:02:12Right, well...
0:02:12 > 0:02:15Do you think that this something you would be interested in doing?
0:02:17 > 0:02:18Yes.
0:02:20 > 0:02:22Have any got any questions or concerns?
0:02:22 > 0:02:25No, thank you for the opportunity.
0:02:25 > 0:02:27I will do my best to make it work.
0:02:27 > 0:02:28I have no doubt that you will.
0:02:38 > 0:02:40SPEAKS PASHTO
0:02:40 > 0:02:42Is she all right?
0:02:42 > 0:02:44Thanks, we're going to the doctor's anyway.
0:02:48 > 0:02:49SPEAKS PASHTO
0:02:56 > 0:02:58Antibiotics?
0:02:58 > 0:03:03I am sure you are aware of the move across the medical profession,
0:03:03 > 0:03:08to discourage the easy prescription of medication,
0:03:08 > 0:03:10in general.
0:03:10 > 0:03:11Dr Vere,
0:03:11 > 0:03:16I would like you to take the lead in lessening
0:03:16 > 0:03:19our prescription of antibiotics, this winter.
0:03:20 > 0:03:23Me? Lead? Wow.
0:03:23 > 0:03:27I am sure you are going to need time to consider...
0:03:27 > 0:03:28No, no, I'm well up for it!
0:03:28 > 0:03:30Well you can have time to think.
0:03:30 > 0:03:32No, I'm good for it, really!
0:03:32 > 0:03:34Well, I am pleased.
0:03:34 > 0:03:36I'll get on it, straightaway.
0:03:36 > 0:03:38Splendid.
0:03:42 > 0:03:43I won't let you down.
0:03:43 > 0:03:44Indeed, you won't.
0:03:49 > 0:03:51Emma!
0:03:52 > 0:03:54Aasima. How are you doing?
0:03:55 > 0:03:58I'm OK. Thank you for your card.
0:04:00 > 0:04:04I instantly wished I'd written more, or even known what to say.
0:04:04 > 0:04:07What you said was very kind,
0:04:07 > 0:04:09and very much appreciated.
0:04:09 > 0:04:12Well, I always suspected Howard was gentle...
0:04:12 > 0:04:15underneath that bluff exterior.
0:04:15 > 0:04:17Not that you would have guessed it, the way he took on
0:04:17 > 0:04:19that university finance committee.
0:04:20 > 0:04:24You're not going into work?
0:04:24 > 0:04:25I'm going a bit stir crazy at home,
0:04:25 > 0:04:28so I'm just going to go in and do some admin.
0:04:28 > 0:04:30What about you? Are you teaching today?
0:04:30 > 0:04:32I've got court translation, this afternoon,
0:04:32 > 0:04:35but, yeah, I'm squeezing in a lesson this morning.
0:04:35 > 0:04:37Russian or Polish? Urdu.
0:04:37 > 0:04:40It's not often I get to lecture in my own language.
0:04:40 > 0:04:43It's the poetry of Parveen Shakir.
0:04:43 > 0:04:47She's a wonderful poet - tragic, died far too young...
0:04:48 > 0:04:50Sorry.
0:04:50 > 0:04:53I've always marvelled at your ability for languages,
0:04:53 > 0:04:55I mean, I struggle just with French.
0:04:55 > 0:04:57Well, you guys do a real job,
0:04:57 > 0:04:58saving lives.
0:04:59 > 0:05:02I've done it again, I'm so sorry.
0:05:02 > 0:05:04It's fine, really.
0:05:04 > 0:05:06We really must have a coffee soon, yeah?
0:05:06 > 0:05:07I'd really like that.
0:05:07 > 0:05:09I'll call you. Do.
0:05:09 > 0:05:10Take care.
0:05:12 > 0:05:14See you. Bye.
0:05:17 > 0:05:20You know, if I ever need to sell sand in the Sahara,
0:05:20 > 0:05:22Mrs Tembe would get my vote. How'd you mean?
0:05:22 > 0:05:25The PPG liaison role is something Howard's been trying to dump
0:05:25 > 0:05:28on some poor sucker's shoulders for a very long time.
0:05:28 > 0:05:31The Patient Participation Group is a very influential body.
0:05:31 > 0:05:34Really? How? Well, under Ashley's chairmanship,
0:05:34 > 0:05:36they have secured some very notable policies.
0:05:36 > 0:05:38For example, blanket-testing for verrucas...
0:05:38 > 0:05:42Amended by doctors to blanket-testing for verrucas among children.
0:05:42 > 0:05:44As if verrucas discriminate.
0:05:44 > 0:05:47Then there were the assessments for hard and difficult ear wax...
0:05:47 > 0:05:51Wax isn't referred to as "hard" or "difficult" and the GPs had to
0:05:51 > 0:05:54limit their assessments to elderly patients at risk of dementia.
0:05:54 > 0:05:57I can see how I might be of help. How?
0:05:57 > 0:06:00Well, this is a microcosm of patient-staff misunderstanding.
0:06:00 > 0:06:04Indeed, and I think you are just the woman to help Ashley refashion
0:06:04 > 0:06:06the rifts of miscommunication.
0:06:06 > 0:06:07Thank you.
0:06:08 > 0:06:10Also, you know,
0:06:10 > 0:06:14I might get some GPs to understand their patients better.
0:06:14 > 0:06:16Yep, always good when the tail wags the dog.
0:06:20 > 0:06:23So, Mehak was diagnosed with TB...
0:06:23 > 0:06:24Yes.
0:06:25 > 0:06:28It was notified and then treatment with antibiotics
0:06:28 > 0:06:29then commenced.
0:06:31 > 0:06:34So, how long has she been experiencing these symptoms?
0:06:34 > 0:06:36SPEAKS PASHTO
0:06:39 > 0:06:40About three months.
0:06:43 > 0:06:47It, well, yeah... It might be to do with the antibiotics.
0:06:47 > 0:06:50Are they the wrong sort? No, no, I doubt it,
0:06:50 > 0:06:52the treatment's co-ordinated by the local TB team.
0:06:52 > 0:06:55But there is the possibility that they may have been
0:06:55 > 0:06:58over-prescribed, or that there's some kind of reaction, with Mehak.
0:06:58 > 0:07:01THEY CONVERSE IN PASHTO
0:07:08 > 0:07:11I'll have a chat with one of the nurses from the team and then
0:07:11 > 0:07:14if you make another appointment, we should have some other options.
0:07:14 > 0:07:16But, in the meantime,
0:07:16 > 0:07:19I have prescribed you something for the nausea.
0:07:19 > 0:07:22And that's it? Yes. Thank you. You're welcome.
0:07:28 > 0:07:31SPEAKS PASHTO
0:07:33 > 0:07:34I'm sorry, I...
0:07:34 > 0:07:35Mehak?
0:07:44 > 0:07:47These cupboards are an absolute disgrace.
0:07:47 > 0:07:48We need to...what?
0:07:50 > 0:07:52Nothing is where it's supposed to be.
0:07:58 > 0:08:00What in heaven...!?
0:08:07 > 0:08:10Right, so that's an appointment for Mehak at 10:30 on Thursday.
0:08:10 > 0:08:12Thank you.
0:08:12 > 0:08:13All right?
0:08:13 > 0:08:15SPEAKS PASHTO
0:08:25 > 0:08:28Did you see that? What? That lady, was trying to say something to me
0:08:28 > 0:08:29and the guy just shut her down.
0:08:29 > 0:08:32They were just with me. Mehak - the wife - she's got TB.
0:08:32 > 0:08:35Mind you, with the symptoms she's displaying, I think the antibiotics...
0:08:35 > 0:08:38Sid, you're not supposed to blather people's conditions, even to me.
0:08:38 > 0:08:41Yeah, sorry... What was you going to say about them?
0:08:41 > 0:08:43It was probably nothing.
0:08:43 > 0:08:45Oh, could you make a note, of all the patients you've got
0:08:45 > 0:08:47who are on prescription antibiotics?
0:08:47 > 0:08:49What's with this sudden obsession with antibiotics?
0:08:49 > 0:08:51That's what the meeting with Mrs Tembe was about.
0:08:51 > 0:08:56She's asked me to help reduce the prescription of antibiotics this winter. And you said yes?
0:08:56 > 0:08:57Of course. Aww!
0:09:02 > 0:09:05If you want any input from the Patient Participation Group,
0:09:05 > 0:09:08Mrs Tembe has now made Doctor Donoghue the point of liaison.
0:09:37 > 0:09:39SHOUTING IN PASHTO
0:09:41 > 0:09:44THEY ARGUE IN PASHTO
0:09:47 > 0:09:49Let her go. It's none of your business!
0:09:49 > 0:09:51Let her go, or I will call the police!
0:09:51 > 0:09:52My wife, she's not well.
0:09:52 > 0:09:54Even more reason to leave her alone.
0:09:54 > 0:09:56SHE SPEAKS PASHTO
0:09:58 > 0:10:02All right, come on, I think we should go inside. It's all right, come on.
0:10:08 > 0:10:10Where, may I ask, have you been?
0:10:10 > 0:10:12I'm allowed to go for a wee, occasionally.
0:10:12 > 0:10:15And if you don't mind, THOSE are private property.
0:10:15 > 0:10:17They are a serious health and safety issue.
0:10:17 > 0:10:19They're just fireworks.
0:10:19 > 0:10:23By their very definition, they are designed to explode!
0:10:23 > 0:10:24Only if you light them.
0:10:24 > 0:10:28Or they overheat, or they are unstable or some foolish person
0:10:28 > 0:10:29does not secure them.
0:10:29 > 0:10:32Oh, keep your wig on, Mrs T, it's not like I've got them
0:10:32 > 0:10:33next to a Bunsen burner.
0:10:33 > 0:10:35I'm sorry, they should be destroyed.
0:10:35 > 0:10:37No way, they cost me 20 quid!
0:10:37 > 0:10:39What? Where from?
0:10:40 > 0:10:43Never mind where they're from, I'm not destroying them!
0:10:43 > 0:10:48Then in that case, I suggest you take them to a place of safety!
0:10:58 > 0:11:02Mehak did say something to me and she tried to speak to the nurse.
0:11:02 > 0:11:04Do you know what it was?
0:11:04 > 0:11:06Could it have been something medical?
0:11:08 > 0:11:09Could you ask her, please?
0:11:11 > 0:11:14THEY CONVERSE IN PASHTO
0:11:20 > 0:11:21She says it's the dizziness, again.
0:11:21 > 0:11:23And sickness.
0:11:23 > 0:11:26Is that really what she said? Are you calling me a liar?
0:11:26 > 0:11:29No, Haridas, it's just...it is a bit difficult,
0:11:29 > 0:11:30normally we see patients on their own.
0:11:30 > 0:11:33I'm her husband. Yes, that includes husbands.
0:11:33 > 0:11:37She doesn't speak any English. You saw us together before.
0:11:37 > 0:11:39We got married a year ago, she's from my family's village,
0:11:39 > 0:11:41she's found learning English very hard.
0:11:41 > 0:11:44What language is it that you speak? Pashto.
0:11:44 > 0:11:48When she was diagnosed with the TB, did you have an interpreter present?
0:11:48 > 0:11:49They had one on the phone.
0:11:49 > 0:11:51Were you there?
0:11:51 > 0:11:52I was working.
0:11:53 > 0:11:57Right. Doctor Vere, if I could have a word, please?
0:11:57 > 0:11:58Excuse us.
0:12:08 > 0:12:10PHONE RINGS
0:12:10 > 0:12:11Hello?
0:12:13 > 0:12:15Yeah, thanks for calling me back.
0:12:17 > 0:12:20Yeah, I just need to get back to my desk.
0:12:20 > 0:12:23All right, OK, well thank you for trying.
0:12:25 > 0:12:26Bye-bye.
0:12:28 > 0:12:30The Interpreting Service are having trouble
0:12:30 > 0:12:32finding someone who speaks Pashto.
0:12:32 > 0:12:35Haridas might be telling the truth.
0:12:35 > 0:12:36Really?
0:12:38 > 0:12:39The trouble is that Mehak has the right to have
0:12:39 > 0:12:41an interpreter present.
0:12:46 > 0:12:48I think I might know someone who can help.
0:12:48 > 0:12:49Hang on.
0:12:54 > 0:12:56Hi, Aasima...
0:12:59 > 0:13:02Remember, remember, the fifth of November,
0:13:02 > 0:13:05third degree burns and tears.
0:13:05 > 0:13:06That doesn't rhyme.
0:13:06 > 0:13:10Fireworks Night is an outdated, arcane and partisan celebration
0:13:10 > 0:13:12and I propose that it gets banned.
0:13:12 > 0:13:15You're such a killjoy! I love joy.
0:13:15 > 0:13:17It's just that I fear it, when it's placed in close
0:13:17 > 0:13:19proximity to explosions.
0:13:19 > 0:13:21Really, it's not like it's TNT.
0:13:21 > 0:13:23It's exactly like TNT!
0:13:23 > 0:13:26Most fireworks are a combination of potassium nitrate,
0:13:26 > 0:13:31sulphur and charcoal in a 75:15:10 ratio, to be precise.
0:13:31 > 0:13:34You ignite that and it's going to tend to make a really big bang.
0:13:34 > 0:13:36Bore off. I think you're missing the point.
0:13:36 > 0:13:39Didn't you ever have fireworks as a kid? Yeah, course I did.
0:13:39 > 0:13:41So, why shouldn't they have them now?
0:13:41 > 0:13:42They CAN have them.
0:13:42 > 0:13:45They just have to go to a proper display,
0:13:45 > 0:13:47one with health and safety protocols in place.
0:13:47 > 0:13:51Yeah, but you've got to admit, with all the health and safety, it does kill the magic a bit.
0:13:51 > 0:13:53That's a compromise I'm willing to make.
0:13:53 > 0:13:55Oh, you are such a fogey! And fogeys are often right, so thank you.
0:13:55 > 0:13:57No, you're not. I am right. Uh-uh!
0:14:02 > 0:14:04Um... I'm looking for Emma,
0:14:04 > 0:14:05um, Doctor Reid.
0:14:05 > 0:14:08Do you have an appointment?
0:14:08 > 0:14:10Not a medical kind.
0:14:10 > 0:14:11Aasima Nicolescu.
0:14:11 > 0:14:13Dr Heston Carter.
0:14:13 > 0:14:15My name's a lot more prosaic than yours.
0:14:15 > 0:14:18Well, my husband's Romanian and I was born in Karachi.
0:14:19 > 0:14:22And, thankfully for us, a linguistic genius.
0:14:22 > 0:14:26Russian, Polish, Urdu...and luckily, Pashto.
0:14:26 > 0:14:29Hardly, look, I get by in Pashto. Very impressive.
0:14:29 > 0:14:32I grew up in a multilingual city. Karachi?
0:14:32 > 0:14:33Birmingham.
0:14:33 > 0:14:35Been here since I was seven.
0:14:35 > 0:14:37Come on, I'll show you through.
0:14:47 > 0:14:49Come on!

0:14:56 > 0:14:59Valerie, I'm at the back door, can it not wait?
0:14:59 > 0:15:02What? I've already talked to her about her bunions(!)
0:15:02 > 0:15:03I'm not...
0:15:05 > 0:15:07Fine, just don't get Tembe involved.
0:15:07 > 0:15:09All right - I'm coming back in.
0:15:15 > 0:15:18SPEAKS PASHTO
0:15:23 > 0:15:26It's been three months since her last period.

0:15:31 > 0:15:32OK, have you done a test?
0:15:33 > 0:15:35IN PASHTO
0:15:37 > 0:15:40Well, we have them here if you'd like to do one.
0:15:56 > 0:15:58Mehak says that her husband became angry,
0:15:58 > 0:16:01when she told him she thought she might be pregnant.
0:16:01 > 0:16:02Why?
0:16:07 > 0:16:12Look, forgive my ignorance, Aasima, but could that be a cultural thing?
0:16:12 > 0:16:15I don't see why, you know, they're newly married,
0:16:15 > 0:16:17a new baby on the way.
0:16:17 > 0:16:20I would have thought it'd be a cause for celebration. Yeah.
0:16:21 > 0:16:25I think the best thing is if she does a test and then,
0:16:25 > 0:16:27well - we'll know one way or the other.
0:16:29 > 0:16:30THEY SPEAK IN PASHTO
0:16:38 > 0:16:40She's saying if I could go with her?
0:16:40 > 0:16:44Of course, yes, absolutely and the instructions are in English, so...
0:16:47 > 0:16:51OK, ladies, it's just down there and to the right.
0:16:51 > 0:16:52Thanks.
0:16:57 > 0:16:58What's happening?
0:16:58 > 0:17:02Mehak's doing a pregnancy test. OK...
0:17:02 > 0:17:04She thought she might be pregnant.
0:17:04 > 0:17:08And when she told Haridas, that's when he attacked her.
0:17:08 > 0:17:09He says he didn't.
0:17:09 > 0:17:10I saw it.
0:17:10 > 0:17:12You saw Haridas assaulting Mehak?
0:17:12 > 0:17:15No, I didn't see him assault her.
0:17:15 > 0:17:17But you didn't see him hit her?
0:17:18 > 0:17:20All right, no.
0:17:20 > 0:17:23And anyway, why would he be so angry if she was pregnant? I don't know.
0:17:23 > 0:17:27When I told Aasima, she thought the news would be welcome.
0:17:27 > 0:17:29Financial? They've not been married long.
0:17:29 > 0:17:31No, that's not the reason.
0:17:31 > 0:17:33The family own a big business in Birmingham.
0:17:33 > 0:17:35OK, so if it's not that?
0:17:36 > 0:17:37I have no idea.
0:17:37 > 0:17:41But what I do know is if that pregnancy test is positive,
0:17:41 > 0:17:43things are going to get a whole lot worse.
0:17:48 > 0:17:51Oh, and here's just the doctor.
0:17:51 > 0:17:53Mrs Poyner was saying she thought it would be a good idea,
0:17:53 > 0:17:56if we had a colour-coded triage system.
0:17:56 > 0:17:59Right, well, that's something to consider.
0:17:59 > 0:18:01As I say, Doctor Donoghue just radiates positivity.
0:18:03 > 0:18:05Radiating positivity keeping you busy?
0:18:05 > 0:18:08Along with being a GP. And Valerie being OTT.
0:18:08 > 0:18:09Not as much as last night.
0:18:09 > 0:18:11That's as OTT, as I want to see her.
0:18:11 > 0:18:14So, you doing anything tomorrow night?
0:18:14 > 0:18:16I was thinking of going for a swim. I haven't been for ages.
0:18:16 > 0:18:18Well, I was just asking cos it's Bonfire Night.
0:18:18 > 0:18:21It's the 5th? I completely forgot. What are you up to?
0:18:21 > 0:18:24I was thinking of doing some fireworks for Sierra.
0:18:24 > 0:18:25That's lovely.
0:18:25 > 0:18:28Yeah, it was, but... What? I don't know.
0:18:28 > 0:18:31Al just keeps banging on about all the health and safety stuff
0:18:31 > 0:18:32and the injuries.
0:18:32 > 0:18:35Well, he's not wrong. You know, in Ireland, fireworks are only
0:18:35 > 0:18:37allowed in organised public displays.
0:18:37 > 0:18:40I'd never put Sierra in harm's way. I just wanted to do something fun.
0:18:42 > 0:18:43Yeah, I know.
0:18:45 > 0:18:47The pregnancy test is positive.
0:18:50 > 0:18:52SPEAKS PASHTO
0:18:55 > 0:18:56Haridas, please calm down.
0:18:56 > 0:18:59Calm down(!) My wife's pregnant by someone else!
0:18:59 > 0:19:00Please.
0:19:02 > 0:19:03Haridas explained to me
0:19:03 > 0:19:06that Mehak's been on the contraceptive pill.
0:19:06 > 0:19:08It's not 100% guaranteed.
0:19:09 > 0:19:12And they've been using condoms, every time.
0:19:12 > 0:19:14So how could it happen? How pregnant is she?
0:19:14 > 0:19:17Three, four months? That's when she went back home.
0:19:17 > 0:19:19SHE SPEAKS PASHTO
0:19:23 > 0:19:30Mehak says that she has only ever been married to one man, Haridas.
0:19:30 > 0:19:34And he has done everything he can to stop her having a baby.
0:19:34 > 0:19:37SHE SPEAKS PASHTO
0:19:43 > 0:19:48She says that Haridas has a secret, something he's not
0:19:48 > 0:19:49telling her.
0:19:52 > 0:19:54KNOCKING Come in.
0:19:56 > 0:19:58I wasn't criticising earlier. I know.
0:19:58 > 0:20:02It's just...I am capable of supervising a few fireworks.
0:20:02 > 0:20:05I know. It's a personal thing. I prefer organised displays.
0:20:05 > 0:20:06Anything else makes me nervous.
0:20:06 > 0:20:09I've just had this exact same conversation with Al.
0:20:09 > 0:20:11I mean, where's the magic in that? Being stood in some stand at
0:20:11 > 0:20:14Letherbridge United, while someone else presses buttons? Oh, no,
0:20:14 > 0:20:17fireworks are magical however they're done.
0:20:17 > 0:20:19Think of the Fellowship of the Ring
0:20:19 > 0:20:22when Gandalf puts on a show for the people of the Shire.
0:20:22 > 0:20:25Yeah, let's compare it with people with big feet and hairy toes.
0:20:25 > 0:20:28No, but as a spectacle of wonder, you know,
0:20:28 > 0:20:32people of the Shire, so happy with their little red cheeks
0:20:32 > 0:20:37and curly hair, and Bilbo Baggins blowing smoke-rings of pure joy.
0:20:40 > 0:20:41Need to see that film again.
0:20:46 > 0:20:48I don't have a secret girlfriend!
0:20:48 > 0:20:51Well, we all know, this happens.
0:20:51 > 0:20:54Guys with girlfriends over here feel pressurised to marry
0:20:54 > 0:20:55a girl from the village,
0:20:55 > 0:20:57honour satisfied...
0:20:57 > 0:20:58That's not me!
0:20:58 > 0:20:59I love Mehak.
0:21:00 > 0:21:03It was arranged, but when I first saw her...
0:21:04 > 0:21:07..I thought I was lucky.
0:21:07 > 0:21:10SPEAKS PASHTO
0:21:13 > 0:21:17So, what is it, then, about not wanting to have a child?
0:21:18 > 0:21:19Thalassaemia.
0:21:22 > 0:21:25We have it in the family. My brother had it.
0:21:25 > 0:21:28I watched him go through growth problems, deformities,
0:21:28 > 0:21:31blood transfusions every fortnight.
0:21:31 > 0:21:34But even a bone marrow transplant couldn't save him.
0:21:34 > 0:21:35Alpha, or Beta Major?
0:21:37 > 0:21:39Beta Major.
0:21:39 > 0:21:41THEY SPEAK IN PASHTO
0:21:51 > 0:21:56My sister's little boy was diagnosed with it, just before we got married.
0:21:56 > 0:22:00I just thought, if we waited, a cure might come along,
0:22:00 > 0:22:02like gene therapy or something...
0:22:04 > 0:22:07I just couldn't bear us having a child and watch it suffer.
0:22:07 > 0:22:10I'm going to be honest with you.
0:22:10 > 0:22:13The chances of your child inheriting the disease are one-in-four.
0:22:13 > 0:22:15BUT...
0:22:15 > 0:22:18both you and Mehak would have to be carriers
0:22:18 > 0:22:20and we don't know that she is.
0:22:20 > 0:22:23THEY CONVERSE IN PASHTO
0:22:32 > 0:22:36Mehak doesn't know of any hereditary diseases in her family.
0:22:36 > 0:22:38If she wants, we can do a blood test here.
0:22:43 > 0:22:45I should have told her.
0:22:45 > 0:22:47SHE SPEAKS PASHTO
0:22:50 > 0:22:52I shouldn't have doubted my wife. I'm ashamed.
0:22:56 > 0:22:57HE SPEAKS PASHTO
0:22:58 > 0:23:01But I don't understand, with the condoms...
0:23:01 > 0:23:03Did any break?
0:23:04 > 0:23:06Maybe once.
0:23:06 > 0:23:08And Mehak was on antibiotics, for the TB.
0:23:08 > 0:23:12They can reduce the effectiveness of the contraceptive pill.
0:23:12 > 0:23:14The TB team should have told you.
0:23:14 > 0:23:16What are the chances?
0:23:16 > 0:23:18SHE SPEAKS PASHTO
0:23:21 > 0:23:23Maybe it was destined to happen.
0:23:31 > 0:23:33And we'll have a beautiful baby.
0:23:35 > 0:23:36Yes, and we'll cope with whatever happens.
0:23:36 > 0:23:39And we're here to help, in whatever way we can.
0:23:44 > 0:23:47Oh, Aasima, it's such a shame you can't stay for lunch.
0:23:47 > 0:23:50Well, don't think the judge will be too impressed if I turn up late.
0:23:50 > 0:23:52What's the case? Something juicy? Uh-uh!
0:23:52 > 0:23:53No, of course, you can't say.
0:23:53 > 0:23:56I hear your skills were very useful to us today?
0:23:56 > 0:23:59Couldn't have done without her. I was glad to be of help.
0:23:59 > 0:24:02We should put you on the list, Mrs Tembe?
0:24:02 > 0:24:05Well, if Mrs Nicolescu is accredited.
0:24:05 > 0:24:07And some!
0:24:07 > 0:24:10Well, sometimes the interpreting service, they do not have
0:24:10 > 0:24:11all the languages.
0:24:12 > 0:24:14And you're so close.
0:24:14 > 0:24:16If you wouldn't mind.
0:24:16 > 0:24:18Yeah, why not? Great.
0:24:18 > 0:24:19I really should be going.
0:24:19 > 0:24:21I'm sorry, let me see you out.
0:24:22 > 0:24:27Actually, Doctor Carter, I have some good news.
0:24:29 > 0:24:30Perhaps it can wait after lunch.
0:24:30 > 0:24:32Why? Will it spoil my carbonara?
0:24:34 > 0:24:39Well, the Hospital Trust have given their assent for Sister Hanif to
0:24:39 > 0:24:41establish her midwifery role here.
0:24:42 > 0:24:45And, er... Well, she starts tomorrow.
0:25:00 > 0:25:03I think today was a prime example of why we have to scrutinise
0:25:03 > 0:25:05the prescription of antibiotics.
0:25:05 > 0:25:08Yeah, we were wondering who'd been offered that particular role.
0:25:08 > 0:25:10Someone who didn't mind the size of the task.
0:25:10 > 0:25:12No, I wasn't suggesting that I...
0:25:12 > 0:25:15Yeah, you've been well and truly kippered, mate. Tembe Toast.
0:25:15 > 0:25:17Sounds like she has somewhat gilded your lily.
0:25:19 > 0:25:20I need a sandwich.
0:25:20 > 0:25:21Straight or toasted?
0:25:22 > 0:25:24So, Nurse Lee,
0:25:24 > 0:25:27have you stored those dangerous items somewhere safe?
0:25:27 > 0:25:30If you're talking about the fireworks, then, yes. Good.
0:25:31 > 0:25:32Where?
0:25:32 > 0:25:34On the back patio.
0:25:35 > 0:25:37Where Dr Haskey has a smoke?
0:25:37 > 0:25:39FIREWORKS EXPLODING Oh, my goodness!
0:25:43 > 0:25:46I said to you to dispose of them properly!
0:25:47 > 0:25:49Er, Al..?
0:25:54 > 0:25:59Potassium nitrate, charcoal and sulphur, when ignited,
0:25:59 > 0:26:02will tend to make a really BIG bang!
0:26:02 > 0:26:04FIREWORKS EXPLODE
0:26:10 > 0:26:12About this PPG meeting.
0:26:12 > 0:26:16I have found Mr Bellamy's research.
0:26:16 > 0:26:19Yes, I know it's a big day. I'm a big girl.
0:26:19 > 0:26:22She's a mum, she's a midwife, she's not a grubby monster.
0:26:22 > 0:26:24So don't build her into one.
0:26:24 > 0:26:27Howard's passing has presented the PPG with an opportunity
0:26:27 > 0:26:29it's been denied.
0:26:29 > 0:26:32As long as we all know who's a serf and who's the major-domo.
0:27:23 > 0:27:24..could be the best record you've ever heard.
