0:00:39 > 0:00:43- So that's the dream team? - Case conference - do I invite Henrik Hanssen?

0:00:43 > 0:00:45Does Hanssen know she's about to spawn?

0:00:45 > 0:00:47You and him. Little and Large.

0:00:47 > 0:00:50- We're not joined at the hip. - Glad to hear it.

0:00:50 > 0:00:53Mo here will be taking on your patient list.

0:00:53 > 0:00:57Well, I might be wrong but I don't think she's a consultant.

0:00:57 > 0:00:59What's life without a few risks?

0:00:59 > 0:01:00What is wrong with you?

0:01:00 > 0:01:05Is Luc coming back or isn't he? I kind of miss his bizarre charm.

0:01:05 > 0:01:07I've given Ms Campbell a very specific brief.

0:01:07 > 0:01:10She's here to ensure that Keller becomes a more cost-effective ward.

0:01:10 > 0:01:15- Turning medicine into a business? - Profit guarantees the future.

0:01:18 > 0:01:21SHALLOW BREATHING

0:01:25 > 0:01:28Olympics guy - have you seen the file?

0:01:28 > 0:01:31- Sorry?- Haseen, the porter. Where's the file?

0:01:31 > 0:01:35Right. It might be on top of the toilet.

0:01:35 > 0:01:36Waddle off, then.

0:01:38 > 0:01:41- What I'm going to say, don't freak out.- What?

0:01:41 > 0:01:45- We might be at code red.- Seriously?! - Don't freak out!- Wh... Are you sure?

0:01:45 > 0:01:47I think so. Pretty much.

0:01:47 > 0:01:49What should we do? Shall I phone Sorcia?

0:01:49 > 0:01:51No, you'll panic her. It could be days yet.

0:01:51 > 0:01:53Do you want me to drive you home?

0:01:53 > 0:01:54No, the Olympics guy.

0:01:54 > 0:01:57- Screw him, this is the big banana, mate.- No fuss.

0:01:57 > 0:02:00We stick to the plan, OK?

0:02:00 > 0:02:02Did your mother never tell you it's rude to whisper?

0:02:02 > 0:02:04- Back off, Jac. Mo's... - Mo's fine, yeah?

0:02:04 > 0:02:07- There's nothing to see here. - Don't call me Jac...

0:02:07 > 0:02:09Notes. Hanssen's porter.

0:02:09 > 0:02:11What Hanssen porter?

0:02:13 > 0:02:16What Hanssen porter?

0:02:16 > 0:02:18Surely you're not bowing to pressure, Mr Hanssen.

0:02:18 > 0:02:21The board are keen he gets to participate in the opening ceremony.

0:02:21 > 0:02:25Oblivious to the PR disaster when it leaks that one of our porters leapfrogged the list.

0:02:25 > 0:02:29- No leapfrogging has occurred. - But you are saying he's on someone else's list of one?

0:02:29 > 0:02:32Freeing up your time to meet your elective's targets.

0:02:32 > 0:02:35I know, I know, the regulators have got their fining hats on.

0:02:35 > 0:02:37- I've a good mind to call their mothers.- Just get them done, please.

0:02:37 > 0:02:40I'll be glad when the Olympics are over.

0:02:40 > 0:02:43Oh, how can you say that? I am so excited I've got butterflies!

0:02:46 > 0:02:51Right, Ric's list. My list. Loser buys pizza for the whole team.

0:02:51 > 0:02:55- Except Mr Griffin isn't here today. - I've not seen a leave form.

0:02:55 > 0:02:59- It's a three month check up with a specialist actually, arranged in haste.- Right.

0:02:59 > 0:03:02- Well, there's no arguing with that one, is there? - Not really, no.

0:03:02 > 0:03:06So, you want me to meet twice the target with the same number of staff?

0:03:06 > 0:03:09- I want you to organise your resources as you see fit. - Mr Hanssen!

0:03:09 > 0:03:11Tell me, is that an angry little midwife I hear?

0:03:11 > 0:03:15I will shut down, Mr Hanssen! Do you hear me?

0:03:15 > 0:03:17Want me to engage you in high level bariatric discourse?

0:03:17 > 0:03:21No, no. One must face one's demons. Ms Rimini!

0:03:21 > 0:03:24I picked the wrong week to give up the Shiraz.

0:03:28 > 0:03:31How do you like the other side of the chair?

0:03:31 > 0:03:32He reckons he's Kimi Raikkonen!

0:03:32 > 0:03:35- We've put the Egyptian cotton on. - Ah, thank you, mate.

0:03:35 > 0:03:37I know you've moved hell and high water.

0:03:37 > 0:03:40What've you got on Mr Hanssen, that's what we want to know?

0:03:40 > 0:03:42They've not cancelled some old gent to make this work, have they?

0:03:42 > 0:03:46Nope, just made a window, so to speak. Ms Effanga will be operating.

0:03:46 > 0:03:49Hi.

0:03:49 > 0:03:52You're joking! She's about to drop.

0:03:52 > 0:03:54Don't worry, I'm not due for another two weeks.

0:03:54 > 0:03:57I've had four. You're about to drop. Look at it.

0:03:57 > 0:03:59I bet it wasn't like that yesterday, was it?

0:03:59 > 0:04:02- Well, luckily it's a very short operation.- Your first?

0:04:02 > 0:04:05- Yep.- I can always tell. You been doing the exercises?

0:04:05 > 0:04:07Bed number eight, please.

0:04:07 > 0:04:10I suppose you want me to tell you about my part in the ceremony?

0:04:10 > 0:04:11Go on, then.

0:04:11 > 0:04:15I'm sworn to secrecy. So I'm not going to spoil it for you.

0:04:16 > 0:04:18Just chill out, yeah?

0:04:18 > 0:04:20If I need maternity advice, I'll ask the taxi driver.

0:04:24 > 0:04:26Is that porter having a transplant?

0:04:26 > 0:04:28Only you could make that sound bitter.

0:04:28 > 0:04:29Hernia.

0:04:29 > 0:04:33- He's the guy that's taking part in the opening ceremony.- Typical.

0:04:33 > 0:04:34I'm sorry, how's that typical?

0:04:34 > 0:04:37In fact, technically, it's incredibly atypical.

0:04:41 > 0:04:44You're very jumpy. Something's up.

0:04:44 > 0:04:45Nothing is up.

0:04:52 > 0:04:56Sorcia, pick up. It's Mo. Obviously. You there?

0:04:56 > 0:04:59Listen, you're probably with a patient.

0:04:59 > 0:05:02Just so you know, I think we're at code...

0:05:02 > 0:05:03SHE GROANS

0:05:03 > 0:05:07Yeah. Braxton Hicks getting stronger. It's going to be this week.

0:05:09 > 0:05:13Right, I've redone this list. This is how we do 12 hernias in a 6-hour period.

0:05:13 > 0:05:15It should go like clockwork provided I don't need to eat

0:05:15 > 0:05:19- or have a pee. - OK... Thank you.

0:05:19 > 0:05:22Is there a problem?

0:05:22 > 0:05:25No. I was going to nip out at lunch time, but it's not a big deal.

0:05:25 > 0:05:28If it's any consolation, there will still be pizza.

0:05:28 > 0:05:31Ah, this must be our mid-day.

0:05:31 > 0:05:36Er, no, I think that's our emergency from AAU. Erin Barker, abdo pain.

0:05:36 > 0:05:37Right.

0:05:37 > 0:05:40Yeah, she definitely looks like an emergency(!)

0:05:42 > 0:05:44Hello there, how can we help?

0:05:44 > 0:05:48I've had these pains, but they've gone, so we're wasting your time.

0:05:48 > 0:05:50It was so bad she couldn't even speak.

0:05:50 > 0:05:52- Imagine!- I'm fine.

0:05:52 > 0:05:54I think they just wanted to get rid of me downstairs.

0:05:54 > 0:05:57It's understandable with the cuts, I suppose.

0:05:57 > 0:05:59- You did have a temperature. - Had. Exactly.

0:05:59 > 0:06:01I think I just need a duvet day.

0:06:01 > 0:06:05- Fine. Do you want to be discharged? - Can you not just look her over?

0:06:05 > 0:06:08- I'm asking the patient. - Can you do that? Just like that?

0:06:08 > 0:06:12Absolutely. I'll just fill in a form. Bay three for now, thanks.

0:06:12 > 0:06:16Let's sweat her out. If she needs to stay, she'll stay.

0:06:16 > 0:06:20Eddi was really worried about her. What shall I say to her?

0:06:20 > 0:06:24Um, that she picked the wrong ward to off-load onto.

0:06:24 > 0:06:27- I can't say that.- Yes, you can.

0:06:27 > 0:06:31This is not rocket science, OK? You call the lab, you tell them

0:06:31 > 0:06:34the patient has been moved to a different ward.

0:06:34 > 0:06:36Now are you going to step up and do your work properly

0:06:36 > 0:06:40or do I have to recommend some on-the-job training for you, nurse Keeley?

0:06:43 > 0:06:44Bit harsh, maybe?

0:06:44 > 0:06:47Sorry? Do you have some feedback about my managerial style?

0:06:47 > 0:06:51- Chrissie and I can hold the fort if you want to have some down time. - No, I'm fine, thank you.

0:06:51 > 0:06:53Come on.

0:06:53 > 0:06:55- It's muffin o'clock. - SHE SIGHS

0:06:55 > 0:06:59How about you and I leave this madness, grab a 'cino, you know,

0:06:59 > 0:07:02and talk through the Luc situation mano e mano?

0:07:02 > 0:07:05WHAT Luc situation?

0:07:05 > 0:07:06Excuse me.

0:07:07 > 0:07:10AKA the reason you're in this frankly horrific mood.

0:07:10 > 0:07:15- Seriously, Sacha, you need find something to keep you busy. - All right, fine, I can take a hint.

0:07:15 > 0:07:17I'll just have to hand out the flak jackets.

0:07:17 > 0:07:19Sorry.

0:07:22 > 0:07:23Can I help you?

0:07:23 > 0:07:26Well, I just came to use the car park, really.

0:07:28 > 0:07:29What?

0:07:29 > 0:07:32It's cheaper than town, isn't it? I'm supposed to be buying dog food,

0:07:32 > 0:07:34but it's my leg.

0:07:34 > 0:07:37- I thought, while I'm in the area... - What's wrong with it?

0:07:37 > 0:07:41- Twisted my ankle, playing footie. - Which one, your left or your right?

0:07:41 > 0:07:44Er...

0:07:44 > 0:07:45Both.

0:07:47 > 0:07:49HE MOUTHS

0:07:54 > 0:07:59You know what, let's get you sat down in that nice comfy bed

0:07:59 > 0:08:01and I will make you a lovely cup of tea.

0:08:01 > 0:08:06- Yeah? Do you take sugar?- Yeah. You got biscuits?- We've got biscuits.

0:08:06 > 0:08:10I didn't mind Slumdog Millionaire. But I have to say, I didn't care for his other films.

0:08:10 > 0:08:12What's that one where the bloke chops off his arm?

0:08:12 > 0:08:15- 127 Hours. - That's the one. I didn't like it.

0:08:15 > 0:08:17I suppose you see that sort of thing every day, do you?

0:08:17 > 0:08:21She tends to do more high-tech stuff. This is just a favour.

0:08:21 > 0:08:23I did think that when I asked around.

0:08:23 > 0:08:25You know, I'm a bit embarrassed, to be honest.

0:08:25 > 0:08:27Don't be! Once-in-a-lifetime chance.

0:08:27 > 0:08:29Couldn't believe it when I got through.

0:08:29 > 0:08:33Don't ask me details, though. Wait to watch it on the TV.

0:08:33 > 0:08:36- I'll be sure and look out for you. - MO GROANS

0:08:36 > 0:08:39- I told you. She's started. - All OK?

0:08:39 > 0:08:44Yeah. Right, I'm pretty sure that the palpitations are due to

0:08:44 > 0:08:47your vagus nerve. How's the breathlessness?

0:08:47 > 0:08:50Hasn't interfered with me talking thankfully.

0:08:50 > 0:08:54- It's just the acid reflux. I've got to sleep sitting up. - Sounds painful(!)

0:08:54 > 0:08:59Right, we'll get you done and dusted today, discharged tomorrow,

0:08:59 > 0:09:00London Friday.

0:09:01 > 0:09:04I'll be back in just one minute.

0:09:04 > 0:09:06- Not so fast, Batman.- What?

0:09:06 > 0:09:09- Go down to Gynae and Obs and get checked over.- I'm fine.

0:09:09 > 0:09:12- Mo!- I'm not doing anything without Sorcia. It's just not fair.

0:09:12 > 0:09:14- You know that.- Is she not on her way? - Her mobile's off.

0:09:14 > 0:09:17Don't make arrangements with flaky psychiatrists!

0:09:17 > 0:09:20How's she planning on getting here, groovy train?

0:09:20 > 0:09:23- She's not flaky, she's just busy. - How many you had?

0:09:23 > 0:09:26- They're not contractions. My waters haven't even broken.- How many?

0:09:26 > 0:09:29I'm not going down to Maternity to make an idiot of myself.

0:09:29 > 0:09:33- Is it more than three?- No. It's...three.

0:09:33 > 0:09:35Yeah, but what, twenty minutes apart? Maybe.

0:09:35 > 0:09:40- It's fine. She can cab it over. - Mo, I'm going to get her.

0:09:40 > 0:09:43This is not code zero. This is DEFCON 3.

0:09:46 > 0:09:49Honestly, go, the paperwork could take ages.

0:09:49 > 0:09:51No, I'll drive you home.

0:09:51 > 0:09:53Declan, they're hacked off enough as it is.

0:09:53 > 0:09:55Yeah, but you're ill. What if it's the ulcer?

0:09:55 > 0:09:59I haven't got an ulcer. Stop making excuses and go to work.

0:10:00 > 0:10:04- Well, will you call me when you get back?- Yeah, 'course.

0:10:05 > 0:10:07- I feel bad.- Declan, go to work!

0:10:14 > 0:10:18- Hi, sorry, it's a bit urgent. - Have the pains come back?

0:10:18 > 0:10:21Yesterday, I went to London and had a hysteroscopy.

0:10:21 > 0:10:23Do you think these could be side effects?

0:10:23 > 0:10:24Why were you referred?

0:10:24 > 0:10:27I referred myself. I was worried about bleeding.

0:10:27 > 0:10:30Right. Well, which clinic and what was their verdict?

0:10:30 > 0:10:32I haven't heard. Um...

0:10:32 > 0:10:36I had a miscarriage some months ago and I...

0:10:36 > 0:10:38Well, I just...

0:10:38 > 0:10:42I'm sorry to hear that. Do you think that's what's happening now?

0:10:42 > 0:10:46- No. We haven't... We're not...- You're abstaining.

0:10:46 > 0:10:48Right, fine, well, first thing's first,

0:10:48 > 0:10:51get down to Obs and Gynae. It may be nothing,

0:10:51 > 0:10:54but there is a chance that the investigation may have caused a bit of damage.

0:10:54 > 0:10:57It'll be kept confidential, won't it?

0:10:57 > 0:10:58Of course.

0:10:58 > 0:11:02Though you need to be open with me, you understand?

0:11:02 > 0:11:04Sorry for giving you the run-around on everything.

0:11:04 > 0:11:07What are you doing out of bed?

0:11:07 > 0:11:09Er... They're just chucking me out now.

0:11:09 > 0:11:11Erin, I can tell you're not OK.

0:11:17 > 0:11:18What?

0:11:20 > 0:11:24- Actually, I would like to run a few more tests, just to be sure.- Good.

0:11:24 > 0:11:27- Did AAU take your blood?- Yeah. Yeah.

0:11:27 > 0:11:30- I can chase them up.- Do you think she's got an ulcer, then?

0:11:30 > 0:11:32- Why do you say that? - I haven't got an ulcer.

0:11:32 > 0:11:34You've been to see the doctor about it.

0:11:34 > 0:11:36Yeah, but he said it wasn't that.

0:11:36 > 0:11:39Right, well I can get someone to do an endoscopy.

0:11:39 > 0:11:41It's sticking a camera down your throat, I'm afraid.

0:11:41 > 0:11:45- She's had one of those. Haven't you? - Yeah.

0:11:45 > 0:11:48Through work. I went to a private clinic.

0:11:48 > 0:11:50I'm sure I can get you the results.

0:11:50 > 0:11:52Can you not just do it again? Be on the safe side?

0:11:55 > 0:11:58Maybe you should give them a ring. Explain the situation.

0:11:58 > 0:12:01Get them to fax the results directly to me.

0:12:01 > 0:12:04She shouldn't be doing the donkey work, she's ill.

0:12:06 > 0:12:08OK, let's get you back to bed, keep you monitored,

0:12:08 > 0:12:11and chase up those endoscopy results.

0:12:11 > 0:12:14Nurse, could you come and take her back to bed, please?

0:12:14 > 0:12:16Thank you.

0:12:16 > 0:12:19Give Obs and Gynae a ring, give them the heads up

0:12:19 > 0:12:22- and get her down there somehow without giving the game away.- OK.

0:12:22 > 0:12:26Did you ring Eddi and pass on my frustrations?

0:12:26 > 0:12:28Yeah.

0:12:30 > 0:12:31No.

0:12:33 > 0:12:36For the most part, you've been asymptomatic?

0:12:36 > 0:12:38Yes, more or less.

0:12:38 > 0:12:41It says here you think it was caused by a giant sneeze.

0:12:41 > 0:12:43I just said that to ensure confidentiality.

0:12:43 > 0:12:47Don't want to give away performance details.

0:12:47 > 0:12:49Right, well, let's get it fixed, shall we?

0:12:49 > 0:12:52Everyone in the company is very grateful.

0:12:52 > 0:12:54We've become like a family now.

0:12:54 > 0:12:58If we can't make exceptions for a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, where would we be?

0:12:58 > 0:13:01Oh, thank you, Mr Hanssen. Thank you so much.

0:13:01 > 0:13:04Thank you. Thank you, thank you.

0:13:04 > 0:13:06Thank you. Thank you.

0:13:07 > 0:13:09Thank you, Ms Effanga, for this.

0:13:09 > 0:13:13No worries. I'd just be at home shouting at Matthew Wright.

0:13:13 > 0:13:16You must understand, you're under no obligation.

0:13:16 > 0:13:18Don't worry, Mr H. I'm not going to take you to a tribunal.

0:13:18 > 0:13:21Still, we take our duty of care very seriously.

0:13:21 > 0:13:23Maternity leave is ring-fenced.

0:13:25 > 0:13:26Ms Effanga?

0:13:26 > 0:13:28Mm?

0:13:28 > 0:13:31May I say to the board that we will get our man to the finish line?

0:13:31 > 0:13:35Yeah, it's easy street. Takes me back to my youth.

0:13:35 > 0:13:36Excellent.

0:13:39 > 0:13:42- Mr Hanssen, can I have a word? - I suppose so, yes.

0:13:42 > 0:13:45When I say word, I mean discuss the direction Darwin's going in.

0:13:45 > 0:13:46Fire away.

0:13:46 > 0:13:50Well, it struck me that we should be building on the stuff I did Stateside,

0:13:50 > 0:13:53look at expanding our congenital defects portfolio.

0:13:53 > 0:13:56- Led by you? - Well, that would make sense, yes.

0:13:56 > 0:13:59OK, just so that I can manage your expectations realistically,

0:13:59 > 0:14:02I must say there is zero chance of any additional resources.

0:14:02 > 0:14:04If I were to free up anything for CT,

0:14:04 > 0:14:06it would go towards the transplant unit.

0:14:06 > 0:14:08Yes, but how long will that last?

0:14:08 > 0:14:10We've budgeted for the next four quarters.

0:14:10 > 0:14:12I mean when Ms Effanga goes on maternity.

0:14:12 > 0:14:15I think you'll find she returns fairly swiftly.

0:14:15 > 0:14:17Well, they all say that. But let's get real.

0:14:17 > 0:14:21We both know that she's the type who'll take a look at the teeny, tiny fingers and pack it all in.

0:14:21 > 0:14:25- BLEEPER - The question is, where will that leave us?

0:14:25 > 0:14:26Excuse me.

0:14:26 > 0:14:28The doctor reckons you're free to go.

0:14:28 > 0:14:31That it? Seems a bit quick.

0:14:31 > 0:14:34Why? Somewhere you need to be, like court or something?

0:14:34 > 0:14:37No, no way! Why do you say that?

0:14:37 > 0:14:39No reason.

0:14:40 > 0:14:42Didn't even have the good manners to yelp.

0:14:42 > 0:14:46- Well, I'm still going to give it another go.- Oh, come on.

0:14:46 > 0:14:48I'm really looking forward to you bawling him out of town.

0:14:48 > 0:14:51No, if he wanted that bed, he'd have faked appendicitis.

0:14:51 > 0:14:53Who are you and what've you done with Eddi?

0:14:53 > 0:14:55I am just giving him a second chance,

0:14:55 > 0:14:57cos I'm actually not in a horrifically bad mood.

0:14:57 > 0:15:00Ha-ha-ha! You see what you're doing?

0:15:00 > 0:15:03- Yeah, my job. - It's called transference.

0:15:03 > 0:15:07You're throwing yourself into your work to avoid the painful black hole.

0:15:07 > 0:15:09Are you my painful black hole?

0:15:10 > 0:15:13OK, fine. I can take a hint.

0:15:14 > 0:15:17I'll just, you know, leave you to it.

0:15:26 > 0:15:29- What are you doing?- Nothing.

0:15:29 > 0:15:33- Have you seen Jonny? - Not recently. Why?

0:15:33 > 0:15:36Oh, I just need to check schedules.

0:15:36 > 0:15:40- Mo, are you about to go into labour? - Labour?

0:15:40 > 0:15:45- No, my waters haven't even broken. - Are you sure? Because you look like you're on another planet.

0:15:45 > 0:15:48Yes! Now, sorry but I have to prepare for theatre, OK?

0:15:49 > 0:15:51Fine.

0:15:52 > 0:15:55Just don't follow me into any lifts, got it?

0:15:58 > 0:16:01Right, I'm going to take you down to X-ray. Got it?

0:16:01 > 0:16:04X-ray. OK, thank you.

0:16:04 > 0:16:07I know it's all a bit daft.

0:16:07 > 0:16:09It's OK, you don't have to explain.

0:16:09 > 0:16:12- It just snowballed.- You don't think he would've supported you?

0:16:12 > 0:16:15Probably.

0:16:15 > 0:16:17I should've said but...

0:16:17 > 0:16:21Losing a baby can be hard. Even if it is early on.

0:16:21 > 0:16:24Actually, do you know what?

0:16:25 > 0:16:30It was a huge relief. That's what I realised.

0:16:32 > 0:16:34Were they OK about it?

0:16:34 > 0:16:36No, they kicked off, so I told them to stuff it.

0:16:36 > 0:16:39- You didn't?- It's not my fault.

0:16:39 > 0:16:42- It never is, is it? - We can't all be workaholics.

0:16:42 > 0:16:44I'm just earning a living.

0:16:44 > 0:16:47Right, I'm going to take you down to X-ray now.

0:16:47 > 0:16:50Great. I'll do it. Which way is it?

0:16:50 > 0:16:54Oh, you can't, I'm afraid. It has to be a nurse.

0:16:54 > 0:16:59- We came up ourselves. - Yeah, I know, but it's health and safety gone a bit mad.

0:16:59 > 0:17:03Actually, I'm just going to check and see if that fax has arrived...

0:17:04 > 0:17:06Shall I take her down, then?

0:17:06 > 0:17:10Erm... Do you know, I think Radiology are just a bit backed up.

0:17:10 > 0:17:14- As soon as we get a window, I'll just whizz her down. - Can we not make her urgent?

0:17:14 > 0:17:17I know she seems OK, but she's not. I know it.

0:17:17 > 0:17:20- Right.- She won't say cos she's worried about her job,

0:17:20 > 0:17:23but they're driving her into the ground with the stress.

0:17:23 > 0:17:24That must be a worry for you.

0:17:24 > 0:17:27She keeps going, "It's women's problems," to shut me up.

0:17:27 > 0:17:30But whenever there's grief at work, these pains come on worse.

0:17:30 > 0:17:33Now, I know I'm not a doctor and I know she won't listen to me.

0:17:33 > 0:17:38- But please, someone needs to help her.- I'll speak to her consultant.

0:17:38 > 0:17:41Great. And just don't say it came from me, right?

0:17:43 > 0:17:45'You need to stage an intervention.'

0:17:45 > 0:17:47Enlighten me.

0:17:47 > 0:17:49Effanga's gone into labour and won't go home.

0:17:49 > 0:17:54- Really?- Yes, really. - And she told you this?

0:17:54 > 0:17:56- Well, she's pretending it's fine. - Why would she do that?

0:17:56 > 0:17:57I don't know.

0:17:57 > 0:18:01I'm guessing because she feels pressured to operate on the Olympian porter.

0:18:01 > 0:18:04High profile and all that. Take her off it, I'll step in.

0:18:04 > 0:18:06Well, I've seen some crafty back-biting in my time,

0:18:06 > 0:18:08but that takes the biscuit.

0:18:08 > 0:18:11I'm not lying. She's groaning like a Friesian.

0:18:11 > 0:18:14I ignored your earlier intimations about Ms Effanga and her motives,

0:18:14 > 0:18:17putting it down to professional jealousy. But I will not,

0:18:17 > 0:18:19I repeat, not be drawn into this nonsense.

0:18:19 > 0:18:22Mr Hanssen, she's a first time single mum who doesn't know what she's doing.

0:18:22 > 0:18:25And you obviously know nothing at all about her situation.

0:18:25 > 0:18:29Fine. Well, don't blame me when she's screaming in agony in theatre

0:18:29 > 0:18:31and the porter's bleeding out.

0:18:34 > 0:18:39Right, so once you've signed this, you're free to go. Any more trouble, go to your GP.

0:18:39 > 0:18:41- OK?- All right, yeah.

0:18:44 > 0:18:48Unless there's something else that you're worried about?

0:18:48 > 0:18:52- Nah, it's nothing. - What's nothing?

0:18:54 > 0:18:58The back of my leg, but it's fine. Ta-ra, then. Sorry to trouble you.

0:18:58 > 0:19:01Well, why don't you let me take a look at it?

0:19:02 > 0:19:06Well, seeing as I'm passing...

0:19:06 > 0:19:07OK.

0:19:17 > 0:19:19HE GROANS

0:19:19 > 0:19:21Is this why you came in?

0:19:21 > 0:19:26I was just thinking, as I'm passing, been thinking about it a bit, like.

0:19:26 > 0:19:29- Eddi? - Step away from the Rottweiler.

0:19:29 > 0:19:33I can't help but meddle. It's my hands-on management style.

0:19:33 > 0:19:37Do you realise he's got a lump on the back of his leg the size of a golf ball?

0:19:37 > 0:19:40- Really?- Yeah, and it's going to need removing or a biopsy.

0:19:40 > 0:19:43- Well, he'll have to go to Keller then, I think.- Why can't we do it down here? We're really quiet.

0:19:43 > 0:19:46No, we've got to keep the theatre free, in case of...

0:19:46 > 0:19:49- Someone who needs a procedure? - No, surprises, you never know what might happen.

0:19:49 > 0:19:52Sacha, if I let him go, he's not coming back.

0:19:52 > 0:19:56- Eddi, he's not an emergency.- Look, it is whipping out a chunk of flesh.

0:19:56 > 0:20:00Really, I could do it. Come on, Sacha, he's bricking it.

0:20:00 > 0:20:03No, sorry, I need to stay available for...

0:20:03 > 0:20:05Oh, don't tell me. It's muffin o'clock?

0:20:19 > 0:20:25- Ms Effanga, a word with you, please. - Let me waddle to your service.

0:20:25 > 0:20:28You understand, I hope, that I respect your decision

0:20:28 > 0:20:31- to work until your due date?- Uh-huh. - And that by asking

0:20:31 > 0:20:34after your progress, I'm not making any judgement about your fitness to work

0:20:34 > 0:20:38or your skills or your long-term career choices?

0:20:38 > 0:20:42Wow, they really are scared of being sued by pregnant ladies.

0:20:42 > 0:20:46Ms Effanga, don't you think you should be at home?

0:20:48 > 0:20:52OK, I had a show this morning and I've been getting some pains,

0:20:52 > 0:20:56- but I really think it's early days. - Let's take you off the case.

0:20:56 > 0:20:59I'll ask Ms Naylor to do it, if necessary.

0:20:59 > 0:21:01I'm one step ahead of you. I'm not daft.

0:21:01 > 0:21:04They've said they'll take him on Keller. Serena Campbell will do it.

0:21:04 > 0:21:08Well, that's excellent news. Transfer him and head home.

0:21:08 > 0:21:12I can't. The mother, she's on her way here.

0:21:12 > 0:21:14There's no point going home just to come back in.

0:21:14 > 0:21:17At least head down towards Maternity? Just as a precaution?

0:21:17 > 0:21:21- No, I don't want to start without her.- You might not have a choice.

0:21:21 > 0:21:22Jonny's gone to get her from work.

0:21:22 > 0:21:25She's been through so much. I don't want her to miss anything.

0:21:25 > 0:21:27That is understandable, but...

0:21:27 > 0:21:30If my waters break, I'm down there. I promise.

0:21:30 > 0:21:35If you can finish up those stitches and get him in to recovery, thank you.

0:21:35 > 0:21:36Right, who's next?

0:21:37 > 0:21:39Mrs Jenning.

0:21:41 > 0:21:43What? Saves time.

0:21:43 > 0:21:45It's amazing!

0:21:45 > 0:21:48Think of it as the hernia Olympics. Theatre notes, please. Thank you.

0:21:48 > 0:21:51Now, tell me good news and say we have some no shows.

0:21:51 > 0:21:55- I am bored to tears of these already.- Elective-wise, we're fine.

0:21:55 > 0:21:58But emergencies, the boyfriend's still convinced it's an ulcer,

0:21:58 > 0:22:00- he's being a bit tricky. - Is she not Gynae's problem now?

0:22:00 > 0:22:04- Well, I tried, but...- OK, well, is she stable? How are her bloods?

0:22:04 > 0:22:08- On their way from AAU. And yes. - She needs that full ultrasound. Just get her down there.

0:22:08 > 0:22:11I had a plan. I thought I could distract him by saying it's an MRI,

0:22:11 > 0:22:14take her down the back lifts, and double-back through reception.

0:22:14 > 0:22:17- But I'd need permission for fifteen minutes off the ward.- No.

0:22:17 > 0:22:20You're needed here. Elective hernias, our priority.

0:22:20 > 0:22:22Very important elective hernias.

0:22:22 > 0:22:25- But...- Now I am sympathetic to her confidentiality issues,

0:22:25 > 0:22:28but we cannot be drawn into an area that is essentially not our field.

0:22:28 > 0:22:31So get her down there, let her deal with the fallout.

0:22:31 > 0:22:33OK. Oh, and I said to Darwin, as a favour, we'd...

0:22:33 > 0:22:34No!

0:22:34 > 0:22:38No favours. No more sucking up the dross that no-one else wants to do.

0:22:38 > 0:22:40Ric might've run this place like the court of Versailles,

0:22:40 > 0:22:42but I will not. Are we clear?

0:22:42 > 0:22:45Jonny, mate? Jonny, are you there?

0:22:45 > 0:22:47How you doing?

0:22:47 > 0:22:49Mate, they're like every ten minutes now.

0:22:49 > 0:22:52Er... Take a paracetamol?

0:22:52 > 0:22:55- Seriously, what do I do? - Have your waters gone?- No.

0:22:55 > 0:22:58Well, that's a good sign.

0:22:58 > 0:23:01Just hang on in there. I'm right outside her office.

0:23:03 > 0:23:07HE PANTS

0:23:13 > 0:23:17Chantelle, I give you the gift of Haseen.

0:23:17 > 0:23:20We've not got a bed for you yet, so we'll just pop you here for now

0:23:20 > 0:23:25- if that's OK.- I'm all right in the chair. Better off upright, cos of the acid reflux.- Great!

0:23:25 > 0:23:28I'll leave you to it, yeah? Just got to go and, you know,

0:23:28 > 0:23:30- go have a baby. - Oh, so much good luck!

0:23:30 > 0:23:33- Do you know when's it going to be? - Could be pretty soon.

0:23:33 > 0:23:36Remember, pain is just a sign it's going well!

0:23:36 > 0:23:39- SHE GROANS IN PAIN - Oh, Mo?- I'm fine.

0:23:39 > 0:23:42Betadine. Honestly, don't bother with the gas and air.

0:23:43 > 0:23:46I'll just go and get my bag.

0:23:48 > 0:23:53- Sorry, who is this patient? - Mr Usman. Hiatus hernia.

0:23:53 > 0:23:57- And you're dumping him here why? - Staffing issue on Darwin. - Well, we have staffing issues too,

0:23:57 > 0:24:00so I'm asking you, please, deal with your own problems.

0:24:00 > 0:24:01You can ask, but I'm out of here.

0:24:01 > 0:24:05- Fine, I'll refer it up to Mr Hanssen.- That's fine by me. That's the Olympics guy.

0:24:05 > 0:24:08You're joking. You are actually joking... Ms Effanga!

0:24:08 > 0:24:12Jayne, can you please take care of Mr Usman?

0:24:12 > 0:24:15Nice girl. I'm in the opening ceremony, you know.

0:24:15 > 0:24:17What did I just say?

0:24:17 > 0:24:19Concentrate on elective hernias.

0:24:19 > 0:24:22Exactly! So why you did you accept a patient from another ward?

0:24:22 > 0:24:23Cos he's an elective hernia.

0:24:23 > 0:24:26But not OUR elective hernia. Not on OUR list.

0:24:26 > 0:24:28For heaven's sake, it's a simple enough instruction!

0:24:28 > 0:24:30Mo's gone into labour.

0:24:32 > 0:24:37Oh. Right, well, you've got a window to get her down to Obs and Gynae.

0:24:37 > 0:24:42- Well, off you go.- Obs and Gynae have just closed to new patients.

0:24:49 > 0:24:52Have I got cancer?

0:24:52 > 0:24:54The doctor will remove it and then we'll test it.

0:24:54 > 0:24:56Right, when will that be?

0:24:56 > 0:24:58- As soon as they can. - Look, I'm not sure I can stay.

0:24:58 > 0:25:03I'm not ready for it. I'm not psyched.

0:25:03 > 0:25:06Think about something else. Are you going to watch the Olympics?

0:25:06 > 0:25:08Er...

0:25:08 > 0:25:10When's it on again?

0:25:11 > 0:25:17OK. Just let your mind go completely blank. Yeah?

0:25:17 > 0:25:21So you're on the beach and you can hear the waves

0:25:21 > 0:25:25and they're lapping up against the shore.

0:25:25 > 0:25:31And the palms are swaying and the waves are lapping...

0:25:31 > 0:25:35Right, look, I've got him hypnotised. It's our only chance.

0:25:35 > 0:25:38- Stop pressurising me! - What, to do some work?- I don't think you're calling it right.

0:25:38 > 0:25:41Please, Sacha, I'll even ask you nicely.

0:25:41 > 0:25:44Look, I know you're throwing yourself into...

0:25:44 > 0:25:47Stopping a man dying of cancer? Well, call me a maverick! Call me

0:25:47 > 0:25:50- someone who goes the extra mile. Will you just do it?!- Eddi?- What?!

0:25:50 > 0:25:53- You know that guy you just hypnotised?- Yes.- He's leaving...

0:25:54 > 0:25:57- Where are you going?- I've dropped my keys somewhere.- Really?

0:25:57 > 0:26:00I've forgotten something, I'm sure of it.

0:26:00 > 0:26:02Like you forgot to get yourself checked out. Back into bed.

0:26:02 > 0:26:04Come on.

0:26:05 > 0:26:08MO GASPS AND GROANS

0:26:12 > 0:26:16- Jonny Mac, what's happening? - Right, she's in with a patient.

0:26:16 > 0:26:18- Can you interrupt?- I can't interrupt.

0:26:18 > 0:26:20They had to section some kid's dad.

0:26:20 > 0:26:24- I can't just burst in.- Come on, dude, it's getting pretty hairy here.

0:26:24 > 0:26:26I can't burst in! You'll have to start without her.

0:26:26 > 0:26:29I'm telling you to start without her. That's an order.

0:26:29 > 0:26:33It's fine, I'm fine, I'm coping. I'm just hot, really hot.

0:26:33 > 0:26:36Take your top off, get some fresh air if you can.

0:26:36 > 0:26:38She got you that TENS machine, remember?

0:26:38 > 0:26:41- Listen, actually, can you interrupt? - Sorcia Winter's office, please?

0:26:41 > 0:26:43Thank you.

0:26:43 > 0:26:45Just if she sees you, she can wind it up.

0:26:45 > 0:26:47OK, I'll try. But promise me.

0:26:47 > 0:26:49She wouldn't want you to risk anything, yeah?

0:26:49 > 0:26:52- OK, I'll call you back. - Errrrgh.

0:26:56 > 0:26:58TENS doesn't work. Everyone knows that.

0:26:58 > 0:27:01- Sorry, how many babies you had? - How close are the contractions?

0:27:01 > 0:27:04About every five minutes.

0:27:04 > 0:27:06Right, are we going to do this the easy way

0:27:06 > 0:27:09or do I have to drag you downstairs kicking and screaming?

0:27:09 > 0:27:11Look, I know this looks mad but... I have my reasons.

0:27:11 > 0:27:14What? You want Elliot to be your birthing partner?

0:27:14 > 0:27:18The baby's natural mother needs to be here.

0:27:18 > 0:27:20She's my birthing partner.

0:27:20 > 0:27:24- What do you mean "natural"? - I'm having this baby for a friend.

0:27:24 > 0:27:27It's hers. I'm just...

0:27:27 > 0:27:29I'm just carrying it.

0:27:31 > 0:27:34So you're not going off on maternity leave?

0:27:34 > 0:27:37- No, sorry, does that ruin your plans? - Yeah, kinda. Why didn't you tell me?

0:27:37 > 0:27:40Why do you need to know? AAGH!

0:27:40 > 0:27:42- Right. Maternity, now. Come on.- No!

0:27:42 > 0:27:45- I promised she wouldn't miss anything!- I don't care.

0:27:45 > 0:27:49I don't want you splurging baby over my clean ward. Wait there!

0:27:49 > 0:27:53- Leave that! - It's too soon. They'll send us back.

0:27:53 > 0:27:56- When was the last one? - About three minutes ago.- Get in.

0:27:56 > 0:27:58Oh, God.

0:27:58 > 0:28:01SHE GASPS AND GROANS

0:28:01 > 0:28:03OK, while you scrub in, you prep patient four,

0:28:03 > 0:28:05then when you're done on patient five,

0:28:05 > 0:28:08you can be opening on six while I'm debriefing on three.

0:28:08 > 0:28:11Production line, make sense? Good.

0:28:13 > 0:28:14Hi, Nana.

0:28:14 > 0:28:18I just wanted to say if it doesn't arrive tomorrow, it'll be Thursday.

0:28:18 > 0:28:20I can't get into town this lunchtime and the stamps won't cover it.

0:28:20 > 0:28:24Sorry, Nana. I know you need it for your arthritis.

0:28:24 > 0:28:27OK, I love you to bits, best nan in the world, bye!

0:28:27 > 0:28:29Whatever it is, put it in the out-tray in my office.

0:28:29 > 0:28:33- I can't do that. It's stealing. - It's not, it's compensation.

0:28:33 > 0:28:35I could work an extra half an hour for free,

0:28:35 > 0:28:37or I could just take one slice of pizza, or...

0:28:37 > 0:28:38Enough already!

0:28:38 > 0:28:40The madness has to stop.

0:28:42 > 0:28:44Fine, get me the head of midwifery!

0:28:44 > 0:28:46I AM the head of midwifery.

0:28:48 > 0:28:49We're not leaving.

0:28:49 > 0:28:51I'm sorry, I can't magic a bed out of nowhere.

0:28:51 > 0:28:54Now, I'm sorry but I have to put my foot down.

0:28:54 > 0:28:56I've got other ladies in here more progressed than your friend,

0:28:56 > 0:29:01- I have to prioritise them. - You haven't even examined her!

0:29:01 > 0:29:03- Have your waters gone?- No. - If she can talk,

0:29:03 > 0:29:06she can get to the Wyvern Birthing Centre. I'll call ahead.

0:29:06 > 0:29:09Come on, dear, on your feet, best to keep moving.

0:29:09 > 0:29:11No. I can't. It's planned to be here.

0:29:11 > 0:29:14- Everyone's meeting me...here. - WBC's lovely, you'll be fine.

0:29:14 > 0:29:18I'm sorry but we're full to the rafters. Baby boom.

0:29:18 > 0:29:21- Blame the recession. - Look, I'm not being funny,

0:29:21 > 0:29:24but you do realise that I'm a senior member of staff here?

0:29:24 > 0:29:29If you're that important, why don't you can get an ambulance to take you and your friend?

0:29:29 > 0:29:32- Fine! I'll just ring Mr Hanssen. - Fine,

0:29:32 > 0:29:35and by the time you get an appointment, your friend will be

0:29:35 > 0:29:39at home snuggled up with baby in the comfort of her own lounge.

0:29:39 > 0:29:42This is me calling Mr Hanssen on his personal mobile number. I'm going to get him

0:29:42 > 0:29:46- to come down here and overrule you. - You don't have his personal mobile.

0:29:49 > 0:29:51PHONE RINGS

0:29:51 > 0:29:53- Ms Naylor?- Hello, Henrik?

0:29:53 > 0:29:56I wonder if I could ask you to call me Mr Hanssen, please?

0:29:56 > 0:30:01Yes... Me too... Henrik, I'm down in maternity and...

0:30:01 > 0:30:04Fine! You win. I'll...

0:30:04 > 0:30:06I'll make room.

0:30:07 > 0:30:10And they're being really very helpful.

0:30:22 > 0:30:26- Who is it?- Er, it's Jonny.

0:30:28 > 0:30:31- What's happened? - Switch your phone on!

0:30:31 > 0:30:35It's on silent when I'm with patients. Is Mo OK?

0:30:35 > 0:30:38- It's going faster than expected. - What?!

0:30:38 > 0:30:39It just started happening.

0:30:39 > 0:30:43Oh, my...! OK, I'll be 15 minutes.

0:30:43 > 0:30:46- Can someone take over? - No, they only trust me.

0:30:47 > 0:30:50- Oh, no. Oh, no! Am I going to miss it?- No, of course not.

0:30:50 > 0:30:54Just do what you have to do but quickly.

0:30:57 > 0:30:58HE SIGHS

0:30:59 > 0:31:02- Sorry, no room at the inn. - But if you had done due diligence,

0:31:02 > 0:31:04you'd know she should've gone to obs and gynae.

0:31:04 > 0:31:06- Obs and gynae are closed. - They have now.

0:31:06 > 0:31:10You'll have to get her transferred to St James's or find someone else.

0:31:10 > 0:31:12Surely in the time it took to do this,

0:31:12 > 0:31:13you could've done the ultrasound?

0:31:13 > 0:31:17We don't have the kit. Anyway, I've got six more hernias to do. We're NOT picking up your slack!

0:31:17 > 0:31:21Severe abdo pain, suspected ulcer equals a legit pass to Keller.

0:31:21 > 0:31:24You know that, I know that.

0:31:24 > 0:31:26Look, we're all busy.

0:31:26 > 0:31:30So I'm asking you as a colleague. just for today.

0:31:30 > 0:31:34No more emergency referrals. What do you say?

0:31:34 > 0:31:35Not up to me. It's a Michael thing.

0:31:35 > 0:31:38But he's not here and you're easily skilled to make these calls.

0:31:38 > 0:31:41Come on, you know what Sacha's capable of, let's keep him occupied.

0:31:43 > 0:31:47- What's in it for me?- Well, between you and me, I need someone on Keller

0:31:47 > 0:31:50who can really kick the place into shape.

0:31:50 > 0:31:52Someone prepared to go the extra mile.

0:31:52 > 0:31:56- A workaholic with no personal life? - Perfect.

0:31:56 > 0:31:58Look, I'm not guaranteeing anything but you know,

0:31:58 > 0:32:01if we can demonstrate a good working relationship...

0:32:04 > 0:32:08Fine, just for today. No more emergencies.

0:32:08 > 0:32:10You're a life saver. I owe you.

0:32:12 > 0:32:14Here you go - this is our training room,

0:32:14 > 0:32:17we'll be back to check you in a bit.

0:32:17 > 0:32:19No, no, sorry. You're not just going to leave her here?

0:32:19 > 0:32:24- Is there any reason to think there might be complications? You're not breech, are you, dear?- Uh-uh.

0:32:24 > 0:32:28- Then you're fine as you are. There's the gas and air.- No drugs.

0:32:28 > 0:32:32- Whatever you say, dear. - I'm sorry, has it escaped your notice that this woman is in labour?

0:32:32 > 0:32:33Give her my birthing plan.

0:32:37 > 0:32:41- I'll let you keep that. - Well, what happens next?

0:32:41 > 0:32:44- Try and help her keep her mind off it.- With what? Canasta?

0:32:44 > 0:32:47Did you bring a book or a jigsaw or something, dear?

0:32:47 > 0:32:49Just hold her hand and give her the gas.

0:32:49 > 0:32:51We'll be back to help Mum with the leg work.

0:32:51 > 0:32:54Yes. You do remember me telling you I am a surgeon here?

0:32:54 > 0:32:57OK, leave her on her own then.

0:32:57 > 0:33:01- Ring Jonny, let him know I'm here. - Fine.

0:33:01 > 0:33:04SHE SCREAMS

0:33:04 > 0:33:06Ugh. Right. Here, take some of this.

0:33:06 > 0:33:09- No. Wait till the second stage. - Wow, you really did the course!

0:33:09 > 0:33:11If it gets bad, I'll need it then.

0:33:11 > 0:33:15Well, it looks bad to me, Mo.

0:33:15 > 0:33:17No, it's fine. I'm cool.

0:33:17 > 0:33:21- Take your jacket off.- Look as we know, I am no expert in all of this.

0:33:21 > 0:33:23But judging by the frequency of those,

0:33:23 > 0:33:27- I would say you're not in the first phase.- No, if it was transition,

0:33:27 > 0:33:30it'd be like more like... Daaarrrrgh! Jeez!

0:33:30 > 0:33:33- Every 30 seconds. That's just great! - Take your jacket off.

0:33:33 > 0:33:36- No, I'm fine.- Take your jacket off! You're making me feel hot!

0:33:40 > 0:33:42That's good. It all looks normal.

0:33:42 > 0:33:44- I'm so sorry.- No, I'm sorry.

0:33:44 > 0:33:46We didn't get you to the right department.

0:33:48 > 0:33:52- You should have told me when you first got in. It would have saved all this hassle.- I know.

0:33:52 > 0:33:57It's just we're kind of in the middle of breaking up.

0:33:57 > 0:34:01I wanted to save him the added grief, I suppose.

0:34:01 > 0:34:02SHE GROANS

0:34:02 > 0:34:06- You feel sick? - Yeah, I think so. I feel awful.

0:34:06 > 0:34:08Take that, it will give you some oxygen

0:34:08 > 0:34:11and I'll go and speak with the doctor.

0:34:11 > 0:34:14- Are you done?- She needs the doctor. - Is someone chasing her endoscopy notes?

0:34:14 > 0:34:17- Stop hassling them, OK? - There might be some clue in them.

0:34:17 > 0:34:19- Let them do their jobs.- Fine!

0:34:20 > 0:34:25- I'll just go, shall I? - No, of course not.

0:34:25 > 0:34:28- Oh, ooh. - SHE WRETCHES

0:34:28 > 0:34:32- Can I get some help over here, please?- It's not normal, is it?

0:34:32 > 0:34:34She'll be OK but I do need to refer this.

0:34:34 > 0:34:37Come on, Declan, let's give her some space. Let's go.

0:34:39 > 0:34:42Can you just wait here for a minute?

0:34:42 > 0:34:44- Where is Sacha?- He's in theatre.

0:34:44 > 0:34:46Great! Who's bright idea...?

0:34:48 > 0:34:52It looks like my operation's been delayed.

0:34:52 > 0:34:57Will someone find Danny and say sorry from me? I mean, personally?

0:34:57 > 0:35:01He's put so much work into it, I feel like I'm letting him down.

0:35:02 > 0:35:04Many thanks.

0:35:04 > 0:35:05What are you doing?

0:35:05 > 0:35:08I'm collecting the endoscopy fax. Try and speed things up.

0:35:08 > 0:35:11- They're confidential notes!- If you can't be bothered to treat her,

0:35:11 > 0:35:14- I'm stepping in! - You need to hand those to me!

0:35:14 > 0:35:16What, and wait another three hours for nothing?

0:35:16 > 0:35:19- Hand them to me, please! - No, she paid for these!

0:35:19 > 0:35:23- This is the wrong patient! - Thanks for your help.

0:35:25 > 0:35:28- PHONE RINGS - That's her.- Can I get it? Mo?

0:35:28 > 0:35:30- JAC:- 'Yeah. Is that Sorcia?'

0:35:30 > 0:35:33Yes. Are you with Mo? Tell her get to Maternity!

0:35:33 > 0:35:36- Kinda two steps ahead of you. Where are you?- 10, 15 minutes, max.

0:35:36 > 0:35:39You might want to get wiggle on. I think she's in transition.

0:35:39 > 0:35:42How's the gas and air? Tell her to take whatever she needs.

0:35:42 > 0:35:43- That's not your call.- I know!

0:35:43 > 0:35:47She just said she wanted my input. I'm sorry, who are you?

0:35:47 > 0:35:49Just get here, OK?

0:35:51 > 0:35:53Agh, agh, agh, agh, AGH!

0:35:53 > 0:35:57OK, moron, just get some drugs in you. She's nearly here.

0:35:58 > 0:36:00I'm not getting anything.

0:36:01 > 0:36:03Oh, for the love of...!

0:36:04 > 0:36:06Can we PLEASE get some help in here?

0:36:06 > 0:36:08Shoulders! Shoulders!

0:36:10 > 0:36:12OK, OK it's fine.

0:36:12 > 0:36:15SHE GROANS You can do this. Keep going. You're fine. You can do this...

0:36:15 > 0:36:20Please can we get some help! She's going Gollum on me!

0:36:20 > 0:36:23Please! Don't leave. Please.

0:36:27 > 0:36:30- Give those notes back to me before I call security.- Did you know?

0:36:30 > 0:36:33I will not discuss a patient's confidential...

0:36:33 > 0:36:35Is a hysteroscopy another word for an abortion?

0:36:35 > 0:36:37I can't discuss this with you.

0:36:37 > 0:36:38- So it is an abortion?- No.

0:36:39 > 0:36:43It's a test to see what condition the womb is in.

0:36:43 > 0:36:45Now give them back.

0:36:45 > 0:36:50Right. Why do you have that? Why would you lie about it?

0:36:50 > 0:36:52That you will have to ask Erin yourself.

0:36:54 > 0:36:56- What is it, internal bleeding? - What's happened?

0:36:56 > 0:36:59- Abdomen's tender, something's going on.- I'm taking her now.

0:36:59 > 0:37:03- Ring Keller theatre, get them to put my hernias on hold. - I'll do it, I'm prepped.

0:37:03 > 0:37:05No, she was in my care. Where are her bloods?

0:37:05 > 0:37:07We forwarded them. Why is she back from Keller?

0:37:07 > 0:37:10Gynae is not taking anyone new and Keller's closed to emergencies.

0:37:10 > 0:37:13Great. Another back of the envelope decision by management.

0:37:13 > 0:37:17- Eddi did the ultrasound and it's not another miscarriage. - What miscarriage?

0:37:17 > 0:37:20- I'd rather do it myself. - We can't waste any time. - When did she have a miscarriage?

0:37:20 > 0:37:24- Fine, do a midline laparotomy. - I know what I'm doing. I've dealt with emergencies before.

0:37:24 > 0:37:26Someone just tell me what's going on!

0:37:26 > 0:37:28I can't I'm afraid. I'm due in theatre.

0:37:31 > 0:37:34SPITS AND GROANS

0:37:34 > 0:37:38Good swearing, excellent swearing. You OK?

0:37:38 > 0:37:39Mmm.

0:37:39 > 0:37:43- So was this what you signed up for? - Not funny.

0:37:43 > 0:37:47Well, rather you than me. Must be a good friend.

0:37:47 > 0:37:49Legend.

0:37:49 > 0:37:52She was our old boss when Jonny and I were on general surgery.

0:37:52 > 0:37:54Do I know her?

0:37:54 > 0:37:56Possibly not. She retrained in child psychiatry.

0:37:56 > 0:37:59- Fun(!) - After she had ovarian cancer.

0:37:59 > 0:38:02Oh, right, I see.

0:38:02 > 0:38:07Well. Can't say I'd do this... Ow, ow! Maureen! Fingers!

0:38:07 > 0:38:10I am going to DIE!

0:38:10 > 0:38:13No. You're fine, everything's fine.

0:38:13 > 0:38:20- I'm dying Jac! I'm dying! - Not dying, perfectly normal. OK?

0:38:20 > 0:38:24- I'm cool, I'm fine, sorry, sorry. - Midwife! Now!

0:38:24 > 0:38:29- Take my mind off it. Distract me. - Will you be watching the Olympics?

0:38:29 > 0:38:34I've got tickets for the hockey in the last week.

0:38:34 > 0:38:38- You didn't think you might want to rest up after this then.- I thought I'd be on my feet in 24 hours.

0:38:38 > 0:38:41Just hand the kid over and job done.

0:38:41 > 0:38:43You know, back off and leave her to it.

0:38:43 > 0:38:45Three's a crowd and all that.

0:38:47 > 0:38:51- How are we doing?- Did you not hear the screaming.- It's when we don't hear screaming, that we worry.

0:38:51 > 0:38:54Can I examine you?

0:38:54 > 0:38:56Get yourself on the bed

0:38:56 > 0:38:59Here we go. That's it. There we go.

0:38:59 > 0:39:03MO GASPS AND GROANS

0:39:03 > 0:39:04OK.

0:39:06 > 0:39:08There we go.

0:39:10 > 0:39:13And this is where I stop watching.

0:39:13 > 0:39:15Open your legs for me please.

0:39:15 > 0:39:17JAC'S PHONE RINGS They are open!

0:39:17 > 0:39:21- No, they're closed. - Jonny. Perfect timing.

0:39:21 > 0:39:26Now, you might feel a bit of discomfort.

0:39:26 > 0:39:28AGH! What are you doing, you witch?!

0:39:34 > 0:39:37- Which way is it? - Follow me. How's she doing Jac?

0:39:37 > 0:39:40- Can you ask about the heartbeat? The baby's heartbeat? - How's the baby doing?

0:39:40 > 0:39:44- The midwife's not concerned about the baby. - I'm not putting the baby first.

0:39:44 > 0:39:47- I mean the midwife is not concerned about the baby.- Of course. Sorry.

0:39:47 > 0:39:50The baby's OK. Mo is OK. Everything is OK. Except Mo keeps screaming.

0:39:50 > 0:39:54- Ow! Please, stop. - Sorry dear, I have to do this.

0:39:54 > 0:39:56Please just wait for this contracTION!

0:39:56 > 0:39:59- SHE SCREAMS - Goodness me, you're ten centimetres.

0:39:59 > 0:40:02- What?! - You're a quickie aren't you?

0:40:02 > 0:40:05- Ten?- Doesn't that mean you immensely mis-diagnosed her when she came in?

0:40:05 > 0:40:07No, it just means someone's in a hurry.

0:40:07 > 0:40:10Your waters will break naturally when baby comes out.

0:40:10 > 0:40:12- You're ready to push.- I'm not!

0:40:12 > 0:40:15She's not had any pain relief? This is a joke!

0:40:15 > 0:40:19Don't say they put the dud one in here? Well, very well done you. That was the worst bit.

0:40:19 > 0:40:21She's been in agony!

0:40:21 > 0:40:23Now, do you have a preferred position?

0:40:23 > 0:40:28Let me see that birth plan, dear, please.

0:40:28 > 0:40:32Right, so let's get you sitting up. Lovely, that's it.

0:40:32 > 0:40:37And Sorcia, I want you to you over here because you're going to be bearing all the weight.

0:40:37 > 0:40:41- I am NOT Sorcia. - It's fine. I'll grip on to...

0:40:41 > 0:40:43Oh, for goodness sake. What do you want me to do?

0:40:43 > 0:40:47That's it so you put one hand here and the other hand up here.

0:40:47 > 0:40:53That's it... Really firm. You grab really nice. Firm. That's lovely.

0:40:53 > 0:40:54Lovely couple.

0:41:01 > 0:41:05Dead segment of small bowel. Looks embolic.

0:41:05 > 0:41:08Right, small bowel resection please, thank you.

0:41:08 > 0:41:11Just heard from the lab and guess what she's hypercoagulable.

0:41:11 > 0:41:15Brilliant work, lab! You tell us now, why don't you? When she's on the table.

0:41:15 > 0:41:17They thought she was going to gynae first.

0:41:17 > 0:41:20Fantastic. How it came to this, I just don't know.

0:41:20 > 0:41:22That might be my fault.

0:41:22 > 0:41:24Do you know what, I knew it I should check this out more.

0:41:24 > 0:41:27Well. You were just trying to get the guy his biopsy, that's all.

0:41:27 > 0:41:31And on the upside, we can have a bit of a chat whilst we work.

0:41:31 > 0:41:35- So what's a news with you? - Honestly, I am fine Sacha.

0:41:35 > 0:41:38I'm just trying to focus on my work.

0:41:38 > 0:41:43Well, be careful. You don't want to end up like Jac.

0:41:43 > 0:41:46- I'm sorry, I'm sorry, sorry. - It's fine. Absolutely fine.

0:41:46 > 0:41:52- JAC WINCES - Excellent hand crushing, Maureen. Not like I'm a surgeon or anything.

0:41:52 > 0:41:55- Ow!- Ow!- Ow!- Ow!- Ow!

0:41:55 > 0:42:01Here we go, hernia ten. Much like hernias one to nine.

0:42:01 > 0:42:03You know the drill friends.

0:42:03 > 0:42:05- Ms Campbell? - I'm going as fast as I can.

0:42:05 > 0:42:09Sister Williams has just called. It turns out Erin Barker's got a blood clotting problem.

0:42:09 > 0:42:12Great(!) Tell haematology, get her some Warfarin,

0:42:12 > 0:42:15tell Sacha I'll be down to deal with the fallout

0:42:15 > 0:42:16as soon as I've done this.

0:42:16 > 0:42:18It's my fault. I told obs and gynae but I didn't...

0:42:18 > 0:42:22This is ridiculous! Why are we pushing patients between wards?!

0:42:22 > 0:42:25- You told me to! - It was a rhetorical question.

0:42:25 > 0:42:28Why are we pushing them round wards, causing confusion, duplication

0:42:28 > 0:42:31and all round cack-handedness when the system could be vastly

0:42:31 > 0:42:34simplified if everyone just did the job they are paid to do!

0:42:35 > 0:42:37OK, rant over.

0:42:37 > 0:42:41Also, Mr Hanssen called, said it was important.

0:42:43 > 0:42:47Tell him I'm on a sun lounger sipping martinis.

0:42:47 > 0:42:50- That would be a fib. - It would indeed.

0:42:53 > 0:42:56I've made a complaint. I had to do something.

0:42:56 > 0:43:00OK. Thanks for the warning. She's going to be waking up in about half an hour.

0:43:00 > 0:43:02- Do you all think I'm a total idiot? - No.

0:43:02 > 0:43:06Look, she's going to be in bed for a couple of weeks so it might be

0:43:06 > 0:43:08a really good opportunity for you guys to have a talk.

0:43:08 > 0:43:12Yeah(!) She'll be back on the Blackberry in 24 hours. That firm has her brainwashed!

0:43:12 > 0:43:16She told me about your break up, I'm sorry.

0:43:16 > 0:43:19- What break up? - Um... Er...

0:43:19 > 0:43:22Maybe I've got the wrong end of the stick.

0:43:22 > 0:43:27Great. This is how I hear about it. Brilliant.

0:43:27 > 0:43:28Thanks, Erin.

0:43:30 > 0:43:34I think next time, leave the soft stuff to the experts.

0:43:38 > 0:43:39How are you doing?

0:43:41 > 0:43:42Have I been in a fight?

0:43:42 > 0:43:45No, you've had a biopsy removed from your leg.

0:43:45 > 0:43:48- We're waiting for the results. - Where's Lewis?

0:43:48 > 0:43:53- Who's Lewis? - I've left Lewis in the car!

0:43:53 > 0:43:55Gareth, it's like 1,000 degrees outside!

0:43:55 > 0:43:58Where are my keys?! I told you, I lost the keys.

0:43:58 > 0:44:01I need to save Lewis! He hates the car anyway.

0:44:01 > 0:44:03No, no, you're not going anywhere.

0:44:03 > 0:44:06- Tell me what kind of car you've got and I'll do it!- Silver Corsa.

0:44:06 > 0:44:09Smashed brake lights and the passenger's side mirror,

0:44:09 > 0:44:12you just pull that and it will just come off...

0:44:12 > 0:44:16Right, out of the way, Sacha! Get out... Move, fatty!

0:44:16 > 0:44:19Oh my God! What happened? Where's the fire?!

0:44:23 > 0:44:24MO SCREAMS

0:44:24 > 0:44:27That's it, you're doing really, really well.

0:44:27 > 0:44:30It's perfectly normal, everything fine.

0:44:30 > 0:44:32Can you give her an epidural or something?!

0:44:32 > 0:44:34Way past that stage, dear.

0:44:34 > 0:44:37- I want you to give me another really big push.- I AM pushing!

0:44:37 > 0:44:40- Yes, but this time I want you to really, really go for it. - MO SCREAMS

0:44:40 > 0:44:42Look! This woman is in agony,

0:44:42 > 0:44:46I want you to give her 25mg intramuscular pethidine this minute!

0:44:46 > 0:44:49She'll be fine in a minute! Now this time after three, really big push!

0:44:49 > 0:44:54- One, two...- I can't.- Yes, you can! - It's stuck!

0:44:54 > 0:44:56- Nothing's stuck. Come on, one, two.- This is sadism!

0:44:56 > 0:44:58- Nope, this is crowning.- Crowning?

0:44:58 > 0:45:00She's only been pushing five minutes!

0:45:00 > 0:45:04Yes, she's a very lucky lady. Come on mummy, just a couple more...

0:45:04 > 0:45:07You can do it, this one might sting a bit. That's it.

0:45:07 > 0:45:10- MO SCREAMS - Yes. Got you.

0:45:13 > 0:45:16Wait, wait, wait.

0:45:16 > 0:45:18Hello? Someone! Please?

0:45:18 > 0:45:21HE KNOCKS Bit of attention here!

0:45:21 > 0:45:22We're too late. I can just tell.

0:45:22 > 0:45:24We're not too late.

0:45:24 > 0:45:26MO SCREAMS

0:45:26 > 0:45:28Yes, here we go.

0:45:29 > 0:45:31Moment of truth -

0:45:31 > 0:45:32- it's a boy. - BABY CRIES

0:45:32 > 0:45:34A boy, really?

0:45:34 > 0:45:35Is this a shock?

0:45:35 > 0:45:38No. We just didn't want to know until this moment.

0:45:38 > 0:45:40I think it's nicer this way -

0:45:40 > 0:45:42Mum's privilege to be the first to know.

0:45:42 > 0:45:43I think it's all a bit of a shock.

0:45:43 > 0:45:47Do you want him cleaned up or straight to you?

0:45:47 > 0:45:48Cleaned up.

0:45:48 > 0:45:50We recommend leaving the cord.

0:45:50 > 0:45:52Clamp the cord, she wants cleaned up.

0:45:52 > 0:45:55We recommend skin to skin for bonding.

0:45:55 > 0:45:59Look, just clamp the cord, clean up the baby. Mo, are you OK?

0:45:59 > 0:46:01Yeah, just a bit, um...

0:46:01 > 0:46:03Well done, dear.

0:46:03 > 0:46:05Now do you want the injection for the delivery of the placenta?

0:46:05 > 0:46:06I don't care.

0:46:06 > 0:46:09Please, just...just get on with what happens next.

0:46:09 > 0:46:12Whatever happens next is up to Mum.

0:46:12 > 0:46:15BABY CONTINUES CRYING

0:46:18 > 0:46:21Silver Corsa, broken brake light...

0:46:21 > 0:46:23There!

0:46:28 > 0:46:29Oh, God. Is he all right?

0:46:29 > 0:46:31Idiot! What an idiot!

0:46:31 > 0:46:32- No window open or anything. - Right, move.

0:46:41 > 0:46:42Come on, boy.

0:46:42 > 0:46:44It's OK, it's OK. Come on boy.

0:46:49 > 0:46:50So it's good news.

0:46:50 > 0:46:53We removed the dead segment of bowel

0:46:53 > 0:46:56and then joined it back up again. Do you follow?

0:46:56 > 0:46:59Yeah, I think so. Thank you.

0:46:59 > 0:47:02And I'm not saying we've got a eureka moment here,

0:47:02 > 0:47:06but the coagulopathy could have contributed to the miscarriage.

0:47:08 > 0:47:09Not a womb problem?

0:47:09 > 0:47:12No. A blood one, treatable with drugs.

0:47:14 > 0:47:16So I can carry a baby?

0:47:16 > 0:47:19Well, I talked to a friend of mine in obstetrics

0:47:19 > 0:47:22and she thought probably yes.

0:47:22 > 0:47:24In fact, she owes me, so I'm sure I can get her to see you ASAP.

0:47:24 > 0:47:26Oh, God...

0:47:26 > 0:47:29However, the circumstances of your collapse

0:47:29 > 0:47:32necessitated a discussion about your history,

0:47:32 > 0:47:34which your partner...

0:47:35 > 0:47:36Which he heard?

0:47:38 > 0:47:40- SHE SIGHS - OK.

0:47:40 > 0:47:42I can say you're sleeping.

0:47:42 > 0:47:43Er...

0:47:43 > 0:47:46No, no.

0:47:46 > 0:47:48I'll think of something.

0:47:48 > 0:47:52I shouldn't have involved you in my ridiculous pantomime of a life

0:47:52 > 0:47:54- in the first place.- Don't be silly.

0:47:54 > 0:47:55SHE SIGHS

0:47:55 > 0:47:56Er, what do I say?

0:47:57 > 0:47:59What's the truth?

0:47:59 > 0:48:00I don't know.

0:48:01 > 0:48:03I know I want a family.

0:48:03 > 0:48:04I just...

0:48:05 > 0:48:08I can't see myself having one with him.

0:48:08 > 0:48:11And it just...

0:48:11 > 0:48:13- crystallised it. - PHONE RINGS

0:48:13 > 0:48:14I'm sorry.

0:48:17 > 0:48:18Um...

0:48:18 > 0:48:22Option One. Straight talking.

0:48:22 > 0:48:24"I've realised I want kids, just not with you.

0:48:24 > 0:48:25"I want to split up."

0:48:26 > 0:48:28Option Two?

0:48:28 > 0:48:29Um...

0:48:30 > 0:48:31"It's not you, it's me"?

0:48:31 > 0:48:34Yeah, you might be better with Option One.

0:48:34 > 0:48:37Look, I know it's not easy but, you know...

0:48:37 > 0:48:40Why tell the truth when you can talk your way out?

0:48:42 > 0:48:45Because even if you run rings around them, it can backfire.

0:48:47 > 0:48:49Believe me.

0:48:51 > 0:48:52I'll leave you to it.

0:48:53 > 0:48:55Good luck.

0:49:03 > 0:49:06Mr Usman.

0:49:06 > 0:49:07The great man himself.

0:49:07 > 0:49:09Honoured!

0:49:09 > 0:49:11It's reached my ears you've been cancelled...

0:49:11 > 0:49:13Did Danny Boyle kick off?

0:49:13 > 0:49:16Well, he may've spoken one or two of the other porters, yes.

0:49:16 > 0:49:20I know I'm not urgent, just...

0:49:20 > 0:49:23Well, you work here 20 years, you hope for a few perks.

0:49:23 > 0:49:25Of course. And it is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

0:49:25 > 0:49:27And good publicity for the hospital.

0:49:27 > 0:49:31Indeed. But, in this case, we must respect the clinician's call, I'm afraid.

0:49:31 > 0:49:33I understand your disappointment.

0:49:33 > 0:49:36I just wanted you to be in charge of the facts. Ms Campbell?

0:49:36 > 0:49:38I am wearing my cloak of invisibility.

0:49:38 > 0:49:41Well, fortunately, I have on my night-vision goggles

0:49:41 > 0:49:43and I can see right through your cloak of invisibility.

0:49:43 > 0:49:47Ten hernias down, two to go. You may walk in my wake.

0:49:47 > 0:49:50Or even give us 20 quid for the pizza fund.

0:49:50 > 0:49:52Can we have a word in your office, please?

0:49:52 > 0:49:54- Oh, come on. How can- I- be in trouble!?

0:49:54 > 0:49:57Is this because I didn't prioritise the PR stunt?

0:49:57 > 0:50:00No, you failed to diagnose bowel ischaemia.

0:50:00 > 0:50:03Right, so this is Erin Barker?

0:50:03 > 0:50:06Why, how many other blockages have you failed to diagnose? Shall we?

0:50:09 > 0:50:12Don't you go getting into any more trouble, Lewis.

0:50:12 > 0:50:14Thank you.

0:50:14 > 0:50:16Who knew you had the strength of ten men, eh?

0:50:16 > 0:50:17I don't know.

0:50:17 > 0:50:21Grr! The red mist just took over.

0:50:21 > 0:50:24You don't suppose you'd be carrying any pent-up aggression?

0:50:24 > 0:50:25Y'know, just asking.

0:50:25 > 0:50:28No. It's just another ordinary day.

0:50:28 > 0:50:30Full of surprises.

0:50:31 > 0:50:34We've been waiting for ten minutes. It's outrageous!

0:50:34 > 0:50:37I know, just that I have some ladies in here giving birth

0:50:37 > 0:50:38and I like to put them first.

0:50:38 > 0:50:40We're looking for Mo Effanga.

0:50:40 > 0:50:41Ahh!

0:50:41 > 0:50:44Well, you missed the big event. It's a little boy.

0:50:44 > 0:50:45Congratulations.

0:50:47 > 0:50:48A boy?

0:50:50 > 0:50:52Is he OK?

0:50:52 > 0:50:55Oh, yes. Mother and son snuggled up nicely.

0:50:55 > 0:50:56Piece of cake it was.

0:50:59 > 0:51:00Do you want a look?

0:51:00 > 0:51:01I don't know.

0:51:05 > 0:51:07Well, I think you should at least hold him.

0:51:08 > 0:51:09I don't want to.

0:51:11 > 0:51:13I don't want to get attached.

0:51:13 > 0:51:16Jac, you've met me, right?

0:51:16 > 0:51:19I'm a soft-hearted cow at the best of times. I can't risk it.

0:51:20 > 0:51:23Which begs the question - why did you agree to this?

0:51:23 > 0:51:25Because I'm a soft-hearted cow.

0:51:27 > 0:51:29I just want to hand him over and move on.

0:51:29 > 0:51:32Look, I'm not being heavy but a baby knows when it's being rejected.

0:51:32 > 0:51:34- All the literature... - He's not being rejected.

0:51:34 > 0:51:38Trust me, they know. It's neurological.

0:51:38 > 0:51:42My mum walked out of the hospital and just left me there...

0:51:42 > 0:51:44And you turned out all right.

0:51:45 > 0:51:46My point exactly.

0:51:46 > 0:51:48He's not my baby.

0:51:49 > 0:51:51It's not that I don't love him, I just...

0:51:51 > 0:51:54If it's any consolation, he seriously looks nothing like you.

0:51:59 > 0:52:01Please. Just cuddle him till she comes.

0:52:02 > 0:52:05I just don't want to have to say hello and then goodbye.

0:52:05 > 0:52:08OK, if you're sure.

0:52:10 > 0:52:12Hello, you.

0:52:17 > 0:52:22Look, seriously, just have one go. In case you regret it.

0:52:22 > 0:52:26Please, Mo, don't throw away a chance you might not get again.

0:52:26 > 0:52:28No. Sorcia's getting...

0:52:28 > 0:52:30Sorcia's getting everything.

0:52:31 > 0:52:33Just do this for yourself.

0:52:35 > 0:52:39She wasn't presenting in pain or with any contraindications,

0:52:39 > 0:52:42we had an unachievable list - which we've almost achieved -

0:52:42 > 0:52:44and you told me to run my ward MY way,

0:52:44 > 0:52:47so I took the executive decision to close to non-electives.

0:52:47 > 0:52:49You did what?

0:52:49 > 0:52:52Oh. That isn't what this is about?

0:52:52 > 0:52:54You closed the ward to non-electives?

0:52:54 > 0:52:55Yes.

0:52:55 > 0:52:58Right and how did that little scheme pan out?

0:52:58 > 0:53:00Well, we will hit our targets

0:53:00 > 0:53:03and patients downstairs were seen more efficiently.

0:53:03 > 0:53:06I won't deny some unintended consequences

0:53:06 > 0:53:10caused by early-stage confusion.

0:53:10 > 0:53:13- Of course.- It's because we move people around so much that communication errors occur -

0:53:13 > 0:53:15that much became clear.

0:53:15 > 0:53:18Validating my initial instinct.

0:53:18 > 0:53:21That's interesting. Perhaps we should trial it for a longer period.

0:53:21 > 0:53:23Well, it'd certainly improve my throughput...

0:53:23 > 0:53:24And AAU will concur will they?

0:53:24 > 0:53:26Of course.

0:53:26 > 0:53:29You're just annoyed you didn't think of it yourself!

0:53:31 > 0:53:33He's not even at the puking stage.

0:53:37 > 0:53:39OK.

0:53:39 > 0:53:41Thank you, Jac.

0:53:41 > 0:53:42KNOCK ON DOOR

0:53:42 > 0:53:44Mo, are you decent?

0:53:44 > 0:53:45Oh, my God! Come in!

0:53:47 > 0:53:49- Oh, my God!- Oh, my God!

0:53:49 > 0:53:51Oh, my God, is that...?

0:53:51 > 0:53:53Yeah! That's him! Take him!

0:53:58 > 0:54:00Oh, my good...!

0:54:00 > 0:54:02Oh, my...!

0:54:02 > 0:54:04What colour are his eyes?

0:54:05 > 0:54:07We don't know. He hasn't opened them.

0:54:07 > 0:54:09- Really?- See?

0:54:09 > 0:54:11You're the first thing he's going to see.

0:54:11 > 0:54:13Everything's going to be OK.

0:54:13 > 0:54:15- SOBBING:- Hello. Hello, little baby.

0:54:15 > 0:54:19Oh, don't, you'll set us all off!

0:54:19 > 0:54:22Mo, I cannot tell you... Thank you. Thank you so much.

0:54:22 > 0:54:24Forget it. It was worth it.

0:54:24 > 0:54:26I'm so sorry. Was it awful?

0:54:26 > 0:54:29- Well, it wasn't... - She had no pain relief.

0:54:29 > 0:54:32My waters didn't break. So we just thought it was early labour.

0:54:32 > 0:54:34You are officially a living legend.

0:54:34 > 0:54:38And extremely screwed when the endorphins wear off.

0:54:59 > 0:55:01SHE SIGHS

0:55:18 > 0:55:19Glass?

0:55:19 > 0:55:22I think I'll head off. My work here is done.

0:55:22 > 0:55:24Jac, thank you.

0:55:24 > 0:55:27Well, I've had less surreal experiences but you're welcome.

0:55:28 > 0:55:30Right, too many people in here. Mum needs to rest

0:55:30 > 0:55:32That's my cue.

0:55:33 > 0:55:34You're welcome, dear.

0:55:37 > 0:55:41Right, I just need to take him for a once-over with the paediatrician.

0:55:41 > 0:55:43Paeds? Why, is something wrong?

0:55:43 > 0:55:45No, it's just a check-up.

0:55:45 > 0:55:49So do I have mum's permission to whisk him away for a bit?

0:55:49 > 0:55:51Sorcia's the baby's mother.

0:55:53 > 0:55:56Yes, but I need YOUR permission. You gave birth to him.

0:55:59 > 0:56:00Yeah, of course.

0:56:01 > 0:56:03Can I come with you?

0:56:03 > 0:56:06Is Mum happy with that?

0:56:06 > 0:56:07Yeah.

0:56:23 > 0:56:24She'll be fine.

0:56:25 > 0:56:27Yeah.

0:56:27 > 0:56:30You OK? Want to talk about it?

0:56:30 > 0:56:32Big day and all that.

0:56:33 > 0:56:35No.

0:56:36 > 0:56:38I think she's got a can of gin and tonic in her bag.

0:56:38 > 0:56:42Actually, you know what? I'd quite like to be on my own.

0:56:59 > 0:57:00Done.

0:57:00 > 0:57:02Ah! Shall I order pizza?

0:57:02 > 0:57:05Yes, we have completed the 12 electives

0:57:05 > 0:57:07and narrowly missed a fine from the regulator.

0:57:07 > 0:57:11However, there is one more hernia left to do.

0:57:11 > 0:57:12Mr Usman.

0:57:12 > 0:57:15I thought you said he was on someone else's list?

0:57:15 > 0:57:20He is, but sometimes you do just have to suck up the dross no-one else can do.

0:57:20 > 0:57:25Good news, Mr Usman - we're going to get you to that ceremony.

0:57:25 > 0:57:28After two false starts, on your marks, get set...

0:57:28 > 0:57:30Someone call Danny!

0:57:30 > 0:57:32HE CHUCKLES

0:57:34 > 0:57:35KNOCK ON DOOR

0:57:37 > 0:57:38How are we doing?

0:57:39 > 0:57:41Have the painkillers kicked in yet?

0:57:41 > 0:57:43How's the baby?

0:57:43 > 0:57:44- Has nobody been in?- No.

0:57:44 > 0:57:47I'm sorry, dear. Yes, he's doing really well.

0:57:48 > 0:57:50The paediatrician's signed him off,

0:57:50 > 0:57:52so he can go home with his other mummy.

0:57:53 > 0:57:54Oh, right.

0:57:57 > 0:57:58Have you been for a walk yet?

0:57:58 > 0:58:00I just want to lie here.

0:58:01 > 0:58:04It's best to get on your feet, dear. The sooner the better.

0:58:13 > 0:58:17In a few days' time, this will all seem like a bad dream.
