0:00:44 > 0:00:48Mr Spence, the purpose of this morning's meeting was to announce a new appointment.

0:00:48 > 0:00:50George Binns, Business Manager.

0:00:50 > 0:00:54His primary objective is determining how available funds should be distributed across the Hospital.

0:00:54 > 0:00:58- This scheme is just not working. - I know it's tough but it's not much longer.

0:00:58 > 0:01:01So we're going to hang in there and show we can hack it.

0:01:01 > 0:01:03Just get on with what happens next.

0:01:03 > 0:01:05Whatever happens next is up to Mum.

0:01:05 > 0:01:08Mo, I cannot tell you. Thank you, thank you so much.

0:01:09 > 0:01:11Forget it. It was worth it.

0:01:11 > 0:01:14- Shouldn't someone at least contact Mr Hanssen?- We are out of options and out of time!

0:01:14 > 0:01:17You either suck it up, or you get out!

0:01:17 > 0:01:20Based on AAU's performance, we've decided

0:01:20 > 0:01:23to implement the non-referral scheme on a permanent basis from today.

0:01:27 > 0:01:30- Morning, George.- Morning, Michael.

0:01:30 > 0:01:33- Ready for another day in the warzone?- Locked and loaded.

0:01:33 > 0:01:35- Let's go get 'em.- Absolutely.

0:01:37 > 0:01:41- What's all that about?- All what? - Collaborating with the enemy.

0:01:41 > 0:01:46What are you the head of Homeland security? Oh, excuse me.

0:01:46 > 0:01:48- I'm on my break!- Still!

0:01:48 > 0:01:51This was bad enough when it was a five-minute wonder,

0:01:51 > 0:01:53but now it's permanent.

0:01:53 > 0:01:55Hey, we ship 'em in and ship 'em out.

0:01:55 > 0:01:58- What so you're just rolling over.? - No, I'm doing my job.

0:01:58 > 0:02:01Thought you had more fight in you than that.

0:02:01 > 0:02:05If we follow orders to the letter how long before we're stuck in the mother of all backlogs?

0:02:05 > 0:02:07We're heading for breaking point as we speak.

0:02:07 > 0:02:10And when that day comes, the madness of King George will be exposed

0:02:10 > 0:02:12- for everyone to see.- Aah!

0:02:12 > 0:02:14The long game.

0:02:14 > 0:02:17The long... Urgh.

0:02:19 > 0:02:22I'm going to call the co-ordinator and get an ETA on the liver.

0:02:22 > 0:02:25- Any sign of the transplant patients? - Here's number two.

0:02:25 > 0:02:28Bed four please.

0:02:28 > 0:02:30- What about the primary?- Not yet.

0:02:32 > 0:02:34You know Mrs O'Sullivan.

0:02:34 > 0:02:37How are things, Margaret?

0:02:37 > 0:02:39Fine, my youngest son just got engaged.

0:02:39 > 0:02:42Congratulations. Thank you, Sister Williams.

0:02:44 > 0:02:47Has your first choice arrived yet?

0:02:47 > 0:02:49Straight down to business as usual.

0:02:49 > 0:02:51Is it a man or a woman?

0:02:51 > 0:02:53Now, If I told you I would have to kill you.

0:02:53 > 0:02:56Just nice to know who they chose ahead of me.

0:02:56 > 0:03:00As second candidate on the list, you're here on a standby basis.

0:03:00 > 0:03:02Should the primary recipient prove unsuitable...

0:03:02 > 0:03:05I'll be whisked away to theatre and given a brand new liver.

0:03:05 > 0:03:09- Got it in one.- Let's hope they fall under a bus then.

0:03:09 > 0:03:14- OK, can someone sign these cremation forms please?- Got 'em.

0:03:14 > 0:03:18- King of the ash cash strikes again. - Do pass Go, do collect 70 quid.

0:03:21 > 0:03:22Ah, brilliant(!)

0:03:22 > 0:03:25- How's that?- It's fine.

0:03:25 > 0:03:27- Aargh!- There?

0:03:27 > 0:03:29Yeah. Starts there and goes right through to the back.

0:03:29 > 0:03:32- OK, you can drop your shirt. - Michael?- Yeah?

0:03:32 > 0:03:35- Can I have a word please? - Not going to be in overnight, am I?

0:03:35 > 0:03:37Excuse me. What's up?

0:03:37 > 0:03:42- What is this? - Well, my guess is pancreatitis.

0:03:42 > 0:03:44- We're full.- So? - What d'you expect me to do?

0:03:44 > 0:03:46- Give him pain relief for a start. - Funny(!)

0:03:46 > 0:03:48That's how we do things now, right?

0:03:48 > 0:03:53Ritchie, I don't have a bed for you yet but trust me, I'm on the case.

0:03:53 > 0:03:55Oh, right.

0:03:55 > 0:03:59You can't just leave him here, Michael.

0:04:00 > 0:04:04- Rachel Reid shown up yet?- Nope.

0:04:04 > 0:04:08- She's cutting it a bit fine. - Are you surprised?

0:04:08 > 0:04:10Meaning?

0:04:10 > 0:04:13- 25-year-old alcoholic. - Recovering alcoholic.

0:04:13 > 0:04:15Who needs a liver transplant.

0:04:15 > 0:04:18Not making moral judgements, are we?

0:04:18 > 0:04:19That's your job.

0:04:19 > 0:04:23OUR job is to abide by the decision of the transplant panel.

0:04:23 > 0:04:26- Hard to swallow though, isn't it? - You've read her notes.

0:04:26 > 0:04:29- Of course.- Sober for six months, passed all the psych evaluations.

0:04:29 > 0:04:33- Keep your hair on! - Do you have any idea how much hard work it takes to get on that list?

0:04:33 > 0:04:36I'm just wondering where she is, that's all.

0:04:36 > 0:04:40Let's hope she's not stuck on AAU trying to get a referral.

0:04:40 > 0:04:42- Michael!- Yeah?

0:04:42 > 0:04:45- Gotcha.- What? - That'll be my text.

0:04:45 > 0:04:48- Concerning?- It's the reminder.- About?

0:04:48 > 0:04:52- My team-building seminar. 11:30 kick-off.- What, today?

0:04:52 > 0:04:54- Yeah.- How about a little notice? - I e-mailed ages ago.

0:04:54 > 0:04:57Not today. We can't afford a man down.

0:04:57 > 0:05:01- See? I'm sorry.- We're looking at group hierarchy and mutual support systems.

0:05:01 > 0:05:03It's going to transform on-ward interaction.

0:05:03 > 0:05:06- I'll see what I can do.- I really wouldn't miss it if I were you.

0:05:27 > 0:05:29- Rachel Reid?- Yeah.

0:05:29 > 0:05:32- We were expecting you earlier. - Sorry.

0:05:32 > 0:05:36Right, well. Follow me.

0:05:36 > 0:05:39You the one that's going to be doing the operation?

0:05:39 > 0:05:41- Myself and Mr Griffin.- Right.

0:05:41 > 0:05:44- Did somebody bring you in? - Like who?

0:05:44 > 0:05:48- Partner, family member. - No. I got the bus.

0:05:50 > 0:05:53- If you have any concerns or... - I just want to get it over with.

0:05:53 > 0:05:57I'm afraid a liver transplant takes quite a bit of getting over.

0:05:57 > 0:06:00I'll have to take your word for that, this is my first time.

0:06:00 > 0:06:02Sorry.

0:06:03 > 0:06:08Thank you. I'll leave you to get settled in.

0:06:08 > 0:06:11Don't be a stranger.

0:06:17 > 0:06:19Thong.

0:06:19 > 0:06:21Bucket knickers.

0:06:24 > 0:06:26Easy access.

0:06:26 > 0:06:28Dirty sod.

0:06:28 > 0:06:29That's me.

0:06:29 > 0:06:32- Commando?- Yes Ma'am!

0:06:32 > 0:06:34- MOBILE RINGS - I've got to take this.

0:06:34 > 0:06:37- Sounds important. - It's just my sister.

0:06:40 > 0:06:41Hello.

0:06:44 > 0:06:49So did you get my text? What did you think?

0:06:51 > 0:06:57Great. You pick a hotel, and I'll see you Saturday.

0:06:58 > 0:06:59OK.

0:07:06 > 0:07:08- This hyper...- Lipidemia.

0:07:08 > 0:07:10- ..is too much cholesterol?- Yeah.

0:07:10 > 0:07:13But it's not causing the pain?

0:07:13 > 0:07:14No, it's a side issue.

0:07:14 > 0:07:17Hopefully the scan'll tell us what else is going on.

0:07:17 > 0:07:18So, two things wrong with me?

0:07:18 > 0:07:22Controlling cholesterol means just a few simple lifestyle changes.

0:07:22 > 0:07:26Our Nick'll be made up. He's always nagging me about my diet.

0:07:26 > 0:07:27- Who's Nick?- My son.

0:07:27 > 0:07:30Every morning before we start work he has porridge.

0:07:30 > 0:07:35- I have a fry-up.- He's got a point. - Can't be doing with that Jock muck.

0:07:38 > 0:07:40- So you two work together? - Furniture restorers.

0:07:40 > 0:07:43- Yeah?- Two man operation. - You guys are real craftsmen, huh?

0:07:43 > 0:07:48- Mooney & Son, that's us. - That's nice.- No better feeling.

0:07:48 > 0:07:50Yeah.

0:07:50 > 0:07:51Right, here goes nothing.

0:07:57 > 0:08:00Mike. Take a seat.

0:08:00 > 0:08:03We have a quorum.

0:08:03 > 0:08:05You too, eh?

0:08:05 > 0:08:07Welcome one and all.

0:08:07 > 0:08:13Each of you a unique, vital piece of the Holby City team jigsaw.

0:08:13 > 0:08:17Today's seminar begins with a film presentation followed by a Q&A

0:08:17 > 0:08:20and a short role play session.

0:08:20 > 0:08:21Kill me now.

0:08:21 > 0:08:23Please try and pay close attention.

0:08:23 > 0:08:27Who knows, your future may depend on it. Enjoy.

0:08:30 > 0:08:31Lottery winner arrived yet?

0:08:31 > 0:08:34Yeah.

0:08:34 > 0:08:36Bus driver didn't get them?

0:08:36 > 0:08:39- Not this time.- Doctor.

0:08:39 > 0:08:42- S'cuse me. What's the problem? - Where's the telly in here.

0:08:42 > 0:08:45- We don't have one.- What, anywhere?

0:08:45 > 0:08:47- No.- That's mad!

0:08:47 > 0:08:50Yes, well if you could just buzz a nurse if you need something.

0:08:50 > 0:08:54- I'm bored.- I could ask someone to go down and get you a magazine.

0:08:54 > 0:08:57- Yeah.- Just give them the money and they'll pop down to the shop.

0:08:57 > 0:08:59- Doesn't matter.- Right.

0:09:01 > 0:09:03How long before the operation?

0:09:03 > 0:09:07We'll take you into theatre as soon as the liver arrives.

0:09:07 > 0:09:08I'm sorry.

0:09:08 > 0:09:10What for?

0:09:10 > 0:09:15Turning up late. I wasn't taking the mick.

0:09:15 > 0:09:21- It's fine.- I do know how lucky I am to be on the list.- Good.

0:09:26 > 0:09:30I've decided I'm not telling them. You know what'll happen.

0:09:30 > 0:09:35This could be the only chance I get. Look I've got to go.

0:09:42 > 0:09:45What are you in here for?

0:09:45 > 0:09:47A big operation.

0:09:47 > 0:09:48Really?

0:09:48 > 0:09:51- Liver transplant. - At your age?

0:09:51 > 0:09:54- I know.- Is it an illness or...

0:09:54 > 0:09:59- If drinking yourself daft's an illness, yeah.- I see.

0:10:01 > 0:10:04- Just had my AA sponsor moaning at me.- Right.

0:10:04 > 0:10:06You put one foot wrong and everyone's on your case.

0:10:09 > 0:10:12Well, best of luck then.

0:10:12 > 0:10:14What about you?

0:10:14 > 0:10:18It's nothing. False alarm.

0:10:28 > 0:10:30Pretty interesting watch, huh?

0:10:30 > 0:10:33- Yeah. - Spielberg eat your heart out.

0:10:33 > 0:10:35Right, well. Q&A time.

0:10:35 > 0:10:39Can anyone tell me what the men in the film did wrong?

0:10:39 > 0:10:40They didn't have sun cream on?

0:10:40 > 0:10:43No sun cream. Thinking beyond parameters, I like it.

0:10:43 > 0:10:45Anything else?

0:10:45 > 0:10:50- They got eaten because they didn't work as a team.- Go on.

0:10:50 > 0:10:54- The majority followed the idiot with the bad ideas.- And...?

0:10:54 > 0:10:59The few that had a decent plan in mind had no chance without the support of the rest of them.

0:10:59 > 0:11:02- Couldn't have put it better myself. - Great. Well, I need to get going.

0:11:02 > 0:11:04And I could really do with you sticking around.

0:11:04 > 0:11:06Your insight could prove invaluable.

0:11:06 > 0:11:08I got things to do.

0:11:08 > 0:11:11Nothing that you couldn't delegate, surely.

0:11:11 > 0:11:15There's no-one left to delegate to.

0:11:17 > 0:11:20In that case you're excused.

0:11:24 > 0:11:26Jonny Mac, I'm after a favour.

0:11:26 > 0:11:29- Fire away. - I need a plus one.

0:11:29 > 0:11:32- For?- Barby round at my brother's. I tried to get out of it but...

0:11:32 > 0:11:36- I'm all yours.- Sweet. - What's the big deal?

0:11:36 > 0:11:39- First time I've seen my family since giving birth.- So?

0:11:39 > 0:11:42- Well, they didn't exactly approve. - Who didn't?

0:11:42 > 0:11:43All of them, basically.

0:11:43 > 0:11:46You don't want me to make a speech about the selfless gesture you made?

0:11:46 > 0:11:49- No. Just keep my glass topped up. - That's OK then.

0:11:49 > 0:11:51- And don't leave my side for a nanosecond.- Sure. When is it?

0:11:51 > 0:11:54- This Saturday.- Right.

0:11:54 > 0:11:55Hi.

0:11:55 > 0:11:57Hey.

0:11:57 > 0:12:01This is Stacey Nolan, 21. She fainted in the supermarket.

0:12:01 > 0:12:03Totally embarrassing.

0:12:03 > 0:12:06Temperature 38.5, B/P 150/90,

0:12:06 > 0:12:08complaining of palpitations and dizziness.

0:12:08 > 0:12:11Let's have a listen to your chest.

0:12:11 > 0:12:13Oh, and she's 8½ months pregnant.

0:12:13 > 0:12:17- Never would have guessed. - Neat isn't it.

0:12:17 > 0:12:20- Very.- I'm sure it's nothing.

0:12:20 > 0:12:23Best not to take any chances at this stage of the game.

0:12:23 > 0:12:25Been textbook so far.

0:12:25 > 0:12:27Let's run some bloods, ECG, urine, and an echo.

0:12:27 > 0:12:31- Does your partner know you're here? - No chance. He's at work.

0:12:31 > 0:12:35- What about your mum and dad? - Can't we just wait for the results?

0:12:35 > 0:12:40Sure. Be right back. Can you run those tests, ASAP?

0:12:40 > 0:12:43- Not a problem.- Oh, and thanks. - What for?- Saturday.

0:12:43 > 0:12:45You're a lifesaver.

0:12:54 > 0:12:57Hey, Ritchie. What are you working on?

0:12:57 > 0:13:00- Chess piece for my grandson.- Yeah? - Making him a set.

0:13:00 > 0:13:03- Nice.- Is that me? - Yeah, not great news I'm afraid.

0:13:03 > 0:13:07You have what's known as a triple A. An abdominal aortic aneurysm.

0:13:07 > 0:13:09- A what? - It's like a weak spot on a tyre.

0:13:09 > 0:13:11A bulge in the arteries.

0:13:11 > 0:13:14It's going from bad to worse, is it dangerous?

0:13:14 > 0:13:18- I would like to keep you in for observation overnight.- Why?

0:13:18 > 0:13:20- To make sure it settles down.- Right.

0:13:20 > 0:13:23The only problem is I don't have a bed for you right now.

0:13:23 > 0:13:25So I'm going to be stuck on this thing?

0:13:25 > 0:13:28- I could transfer you to another hospital if you like.- No thanks.

0:13:28 > 0:13:32You hear all kinds of horror stories about people left lying round

0:13:32 > 0:13:34on trolleys for days on end.

0:13:34 > 0:13:36Isn't there another ward I could go to?

0:13:36 > 0:13:39- Well, there was. - Well, let's try there.

0:13:39 > 0:13:41No, they're not going to take you unless it's an emergency.

0:13:41 > 0:13:44- It's an emergency to me. - I know it's crazy, but...

0:13:44 > 0:13:47Maybe I should just go home, come back when it bursts.

0:13:47 > 0:13:49That's not a good idea.

0:13:49 > 0:13:53Look, leave it with me. Let's see what I can work out.

0:13:53 > 0:13:56- In the meantime, why don't you call your son.- Left my phone at home.

0:13:56 > 0:13:58Use mine.

0:13:58 > 0:14:00Thanks, Doc.

0:14:07 > 0:14:09Nick? Yeah. Hello, lad.

0:14:11 > 0:14:13- Eddi?- Yeah?

0:14:13 > 0:14:15I need you to do something for me.

0:14:15 > 0:14:18What?

0:14:18 > 0:14:20- He won't take no for an answer. - There's nothing I can do about it.

0:14:20 > 0:14:22- Why not?- You know why. - Come on, Chrissie!

0:14:22 > 0:14:25- I don't make the rules. - When did we stick to the rule book?!

0:14:25 > 0:14:28- Since I was told to make this thing work.- It's ONE patient.

0:14:28 > 0:14:33- No, it's one consultant whose trying to make trouble for everyone else. - How many more tests are there?

0:14:33 > 0:14:35We're done. Just waiting for the liver now.

0:14:35 > 0:14:40Eddi? It's Rachel.

0:14:40 > 0:14:43- Oh, hey.- You know each other?

0:14:43 > 0:14:47- She nursed me last New Year. - What are you in for?

0:14:47 > 0:14:51- Liver transplant.- What bed?

0:14:51 > 0:14:54- Right down the end. - I can take it, thanks.

0:14:56 > 0:14:59I thought you were going to stay off it and look after your mum.

0:14:59 > 0:15:01She died.

0:15:01 > 0:15:04Oh Rachel, I'm sorry about that. When?

0:15:04 > 0:15:06Week after we were in here.

0:15:06 > 0:15:09I hit the bottle again at the funeral.

0:15:09 > 0:15:10But you've been off it since?

0:15:10 > 0:15:14- Six months.- Are you still staying at your mum's place?

0:15:14 > 0:15:16Nah, a hostel.

0:15:16 > 0:15:18Come on, into bed. You need some rest.

0:15:18 > 0:15:20She's a right nag, this one.

0:15:21 > 0:15:24Listen, I'll look in on you later, OK.

0:15:24 > 0:15:27Just join the queue at visiting time(!)

0:15:41 > 0:15:42How's our mum-to-be doing?

0:15:42 > 0:15:43Not great.

0:15:43 > 0:15:47Looks like mitral prolapse but I'm worried about endocarditis too.

0:15:47 > 0:15:49- Really?- Yep. We won't know until the tests come back

0:15:49 > 0:15:52but if it's stenosis the girl's got problems.

0:15:52 > 0:15:55- Worth putting a call in to obs and gynae?- Already done it.

0:15:55 > 0:15:58- Mo?- Yes. - Before you go, confession time.

0:15:58 > 0:16:02- Don't like the sound of that. - Your brother's barby.- What about it?

0:16:02 > 0:16:05- I didn't realise it was this weekend.- Are you dumping me?

0:16:05 > 0:16:07- Sorry. I'm double-booked. - Is there no way you can...?

0:16:07 > 0:16:11- It's a family do.- You never said. - My auntie's 60th.- Which auntie?

0:16:11 > 0:16:14- Carol.- Carol in Scotland?- Yeah.

0:16:14 > 0:16:16You're leaving me to face the firing squad on my own?

0:16:16 > 0:16:19- It won't be that bad!- Want to bet?

0:16:19 > 0:16:22- There's nothing I can do. - Fine, yeah, it doesn't matter.

0:16:22 > 0:16:26- You will be all right, won't you? - Course.- I feel really terrible.

0:16:26 > 0:16:29- Well, don't.- I wish there was something I could...- Forget it!

0:16:31 > 0:16:33Hey, how we doing?

0:16:33 > 0:16:36OK. Tests back yet?

0:16:36 > 0:16:40- Obstetrician's on his way down.- Ooh. - Is it kicking?

0:16:40 > 0:16:44Oh, hello, Alfie, you playing footy in there?

0:16:44 > 0:16:50- Alfie's nice.- Great-grandad's name. - You excited?- Can't wait.

0:16:50 > 0:16:53Ever since I was a little girl I dreamt of having my own baby.

0:16:53 > 0:16:57- Yeah?- It's what we're put here for, isn't it?

0:16:58 > 0:17:03I'm the Business Manager for surgery. I'm here to create...

0:17:03 > 0:17:06You explained the situation to Chrissie, yeah?

0:17:06 > 0:17:09- She'd help out if you asked nicely. - She's gone to the dark side, Sacha.

0:17:09 > 0:17:11- Dammit! - She's only trying to do her job.

0:17:11 > 0:17:14- Following orders and all that. - Oh, come on!

0:17:14 > 0:17:17Eddi, could do with a hand.

0:17:17 > 0:17:19Right, that is not to do with us

0:17:19 > 0:17:22dragging our heels about your condition.

0:17:22 > 0:17:23What's the problem?

0:17:23 > 0:17:26Nothing to do with her.

0:17:26 > 0:17:29Put on your best "discussing a serious issue" face.

0:17:29 > 0:17:31What?!

0:17:31 > 0:17:34Looked like you needed airlifting out of the conversation so...

0:17:34 > 0:17:37Oh, yeah. Thanks.

0:17:37 > 0:17:41I prescribe hanging in till home time then drinking lots of beer.

0:17:41 > 0:17:44- Is there a problem here?- No problem whatsoever.- Everything's OK?

0:17:44 > 0:17:48I was just taking the opportunity to explain how our new system

0:17:48 > 0:17:51is going to make the hospital a better place for all our customers.

0:17:51 > 0:17:53I didn't even realise I was a customer.

0:17:53 > 0:17:55Nice talking to you.

0:17:55 > 0:17:58Did you manage to get us onto the other ward?

0:17:58 > 0:18:03- Can I ask you something, Ritchie? - Yeah.- Are you a good liar?

0:18:03 > 0:18:05So remember, your heart's pounding,

0:18:05 > 0:18:07your back is in agony, your feet are sore.

0:18:07 > 0:18:10I can't believe I've got to go through all this just to...

0:18:10 > 0:18:13- Ritchie, just concentrate. - It's crackers.- We know it is.

0:18:13 > 0:18:16But it's the only way of getting you a bed for the night.

0:18:17 > 0:18:21Mo?

0:18:21 > 0:18:23Stacey Nolan's results.

0:18:25 > 0:18:27Good.

0:18:28 > 0:18:29Are you OK?

0:18:29 > 0:18:31Miss E?

0:18:31 > 0:18:33I'd know that voice anywhere.

0:18:33 > 0:18:37- You're a sight for sore eyes. - Not too shabby yourself, Mr T.

0:18:37 > 0:18:40- Why, thank you. How's tricks? - All the better for seeing you.

0:18:40 > 0:18:42D'you want to get a room?

0:18:42 > 0:18:43Sorry.

0:18:43 > 0:18:45You know Jonny.

0:18:45 > 0:18:49Course. So what can I do you for?

0:18:49 > 0:18:5321 years old, 8½ months pregnant, hypertensive, atrial fibrillation.

0:18:53 > 0:18:56No sign of mitral regurge.

0:18:56 > 0:18:59Protein in the urine, high temperature.

0:18:59 > 0:19:03- Any guesses? - Only just got the results but I'm starting to think pre-eclampsia.

0:19:03 > 0:19:06She's not just a pretty face.

0:19:06 > 0:19:08Those cataracts playing up again.

0:19:08 > 0:19:10And modest with it too.

0:19:10 > 0:19:13- So d'you think I'm right? - I reckon so, yeah.

0:19:13 > 0:19:16Good, better than some of the options we were looking at.

0:19:16 > 0:19:18- Excuse me, Ms Effanga? - Excuse me. Back in a sec.

0:19:22 > 0:19:25Amazing, isn't she?

0:19:32 > 0:19:34Ah, all stations go?

0:19:34 > 0:19:36I'll take the liver into theatre.

0:19:36 > 0:19:37I'll have Rachel prepped.

0:19:37 > 0:19:39Ms Campbell.

0:19:39 > 0:19:41Two ticks, Margaret.

0:19:44 > 0:19:48Your liver's arrived. Rachel?

0:19:48 > 0:19:50Sorry.

0:19:50 > 0:19:54It's OK to be nervous.

0:19:54 > 0:19:58It's not that. I mean, I am nervous.

0:19:58 > 0:20:02- It's just...- What?

0:20:02 > 0:20:06- Nah, it's stupid.- Try me. - Have you ever been to Paris?

0:20:06 > 0:20:08Once or twice.

0:20:10 > 0:20:14My mum always wanted to go. She never made it.

0:20:14 > 0:20:15That's a shame.

0:20:15 > 0:20:19- I was planning a trip in my head. - Why's that stupid?

0:20:20 > 0:20:24Think they'd let me take her ashes on the plane?

0:20:24 > 0:20:28- Told you.- I don't see why not.

0:20:28 > 0:20:30- D'you reckon? - I think it's a lovely idea.

0:20:32 > 0:20:34Won't be long now.

0:20:35 > 0:20:39Can you make sure Rachel Reid is ready for theatre please?

0:20:39 > 0:20:42Margaret, what can I do for you?

0:20:42 > 0:20:43Can we speak in private?

0:20:43 > 0:20:49- Well I'm...- Please.- Fine. But it'll have to be quick, I'm afraid.

0:20:49 > 0:20:51We've looked at your results,

0:20:51 > 0:20:53you've got a condition called pre-eclampsia.

0:20:53 > 0:20:57- It affects pregnant women in the second half...- I know what it is. I've read articles on it.

0:20:57 > 0:21:01- So you understand it can be risky for the baby. - My baby's going to be fine.

0:21:03 > 0:21:07Sure. Well, we think it's safest for both of you if we induce labour.

0:21:07 > 0:21:10- I understand. - Are you OK with that?

0:21:10 > 0:21:13I really wanted to go full term but...

0:21:13 > 0:21:17We'll give you a gel to start things off, then it's a matter of waiting.

0:21:17 > 0:21:20- How long? - Could be an hour, could be a day.

0:21:23 > 0:21:25I just wanted everything to be perfect.

0:21:25 > 0:21:28- Maybe you ought to phone Mum.- Yep.

0:21:28 > 0:21:32- And tell that bloke of yours to forget about work for once. - Are you two both going to be there?

0:21:32 > 0:21:35I'll be delivering baby.

0:21:35 > 0:21:37I need to stay on the ward.

0:21:37 > 0:21:38Oh.

0:21:38 > 0:21:42You're more than welcome to scrub in if you'd like to.

0:21:42 > 0:21:44How're we doing?

0:21:44 > 0:21:47We're fine, just trying to persuade Ms E to attend the birth.

0:21:47 > 0:21:48I'm up to my eyes in it here.

0:21:48 > 0:21:52- I'm all right, I'm just being daft. - We can spare you for an hour or so.

0:21:52 > 0:21:55Sorry, Stacey. No, you can't.

0:22:03 > 0:22:06Did you see her with any alcohol?

0:22:06 > 0:22:11No. I overheard her telling her AA sponsor she'd had a drink.

0:22:11 > 0:22:14You do realise she's undergone stringent tests for months.

0:22:14 > 0:22:17But if she has had a drink she can't have the operation.

0:22:17 > 0:22:21- Let's just slow down. - They're the rules aren't they?

0:22:21 > 0:22:25Margaret, look, I know how tough this process has been on you but...

0:22:25 > 0:22:30- You've got a duty. - I can't act on hearsay.

0:22:30 > 0:22:33- This is more than hearsay. - Let's just...

0:22:33 > 0:22:36I've got a lot more to live for than that alcoholic tramp.

0:22:36 > 0:22:38Now, come on.

0:22:38 > 0:22:41That girl has worked very hard to get to this point.

0:22:41 > 0:22:44- Do you want that liver to go to waste?- Of course not.

0:22:44 > 0:22:46Then you've got no choice.

0:22:49 > 0:22:51Come on, Ritchie, one more time.

0:22:51 > 0:22:55My lower back's bad, I've got palpitations in my heart.

0:22:55 > 0:22:58Michael, what are you doing?

0:22:59 > 0:23:01- My job.- Michael?

0:23:08 > 0:23:10Is this it?

0:23:10 > 0:23:12I'm afraid we're going to need one more sample.

0:23:12 > 0:23:15I thought you said you'd done all the tests.

0:23:15 > 0:23:19- My fault.- Built myself up. - Sorry, shouldn't be too long now.

0:23:27 > 0:23:29- Ric. I've got a patient. - Well so have I.

0:23:29 > 0:23:32- I need you to take a look at him. - Can't it wait?

0:23:32 > 0:23:35Mr Spence has decided the referrals policy doesn't apply to him.

0:23:35 > 0:23:38In that case, I'm all yours.

0:23:43 > 0:23:45Hello.

0:23:45 > 0:23:49- Hello.- Are you all right? - Is that a joke?

0:23:49 > 0:23:53- I mean, are you here for a reason? - Mr Spence brought me up.

0:23:53 > 0:23:56- From AAU? - Are you Ric Griffin?

0:23:56 > 0:23:59- Why?- Thank God. you are going to get me a bed, aren't you?

0:23:59 > 0:24:02- What sort of bed would that be? - I'm in a bad way here.

0:24:02 > 0:24:08- Really?- Palpitations in my feet, an aching heart, and as for my back...

0:24:08 > 0:24:12- My name is Hanssen and I'm Director of Surgery.- Oh.

0:24:12 > 0:24:15I think there's been some sort of a mistake.

0:24:19 > 0:24:20Here.

0:24:20 > 0:24:22Thank you.

0:24:22 > 0:24:25- Any sign of the mum or boyfriend? - No.

0:24:25 > 0:24:27Shame Mo doesn't want to sit in.

0:24:27 > 0:24:29I know.

0:24:29 > 0:24:31Be good to see the job through to the end together.

0:24:31 > 0:24:33Yeah.

0:24:34 > 0:24:37- Proper little double act, you two. - Ha! D'you think?

0:24:37 > 0:24:39- You just click, don't you? - S'pose so.

0:24:39 > 0:24:42- Make a great wee team. - Professionally, yeah .- Or otherwise.

0:24:43 > 0:24:46- Oh come on, I don't know about that.- Why not?

0:24:46 > 0:24:49It sounds silly, but between you and I, I'm not much of a lady's man.

0:24:49 > 0:24:52That's OK, cos Mo's not looking for one.

0:24:52 > 0:24:55So, is she seeing anyone at the moment?

0:24:55 > 0:24:58Nope. Single as a cheese slice.

0:25:01 > 0:25:03She really is so lovely.

0:25:03 > 0:25:04Get in there then.

0:25:04 > 0:25:06No, I can't.

0:25:06 > 0:25:09I happen to know for a fact she needs a date on Saturday.

0:25:09 > 0:25:11Really?

0:25:13 > 0:25:18The door's ajar, Mr T. Time to boot it open.

0:25:25 > 0:25:27So he was borderline when he came in

0:25:27 > 0:25:30but now I think his case is getting critical.

0:25:30 > 0:25:32Well?

0:25:32 > 0:25:34Don't look at me.

0:25:35 > 0:25:38Look, Michael, I've got a liver transplant to deal with.

0:25:38 > 0:25:40Yeah, give me a minute.

0:25:49 > 0:25:52Hope you've got your story straight.

0:25:52 > 0:25:54As far as I'm concerned he was doing me a favour.

0:25:54 > 0:25:59- Mr Spence.- Sorry, Doc, told you I was a bad liar.

0:25:59 > 0:26:01It's OK, we owe you the apology.

0:26:01 > 0:26:04To say I'm disappointed, would be a gross understatement.

0:26:04 > 0:26:06Mr Spence a word please. Excuse us.

0:26:06 > 0:26:08Excuse me.

0:26:08 > 0:26:11So, in your efforts to flout my authority

0:26:11 > 0:26:14and undermine Mr Binn's carefully thought out policy,

0:26:14 > 0:26:17you're forcing patients to try and lie their way into surgery, are you?

0:26:17 > 0:26:20Lucy Wonker, David Clements, Suzy Harborg.

0:26:20 > 0:26:25- These are real people, not figures on a balance sheet.- You're compromising yourself and this hospital.

0:26:25 > 0:26:29Each one of these patients has suffered at the hands of this ridiculous referrals scheme.

0:26:29 > 0:26:31That is simply not true.

0:26:31 > 0:26:34It's not too late to pull the plug on this.

0:26:34 > 0:26:36I checked our policy on gross misconduct.

0:26:36 > 0:26:38This more than fits the bill.

0:26:38 > 0:26:42- Is that a threat?- No, I just wish you'd focus on the positive aspects of the scheme.

0:26:42 > 0:26:45Hanssen, are you listening to this nonsense?

0:26:45 > 0:26:49- Have you any idea how close to the exit you are?- Yes, I do, and I have been there before

0:26:49 > 0:26:51and I am trying to do the right thing.

0:26:51 > 0:26:53- Is it your mortality rates you're worried about?- What?!

0:26:53 > 0:26:57Your personal stats currently stand at 4.7% for the calendar year.

0:26:57 > 0:26:58Am I under surveillance?

0:26:58 > 0:27:01Nothing suggests those figures will rise under the new system.

0:27:01 > 0:27:05- Mr Binns continues to have my full backing. - And what about Ritchie Mooney?

0:27:05 > 0:27:07His options couldn't be clearer.

0:27:07 > 0:27:10He goes on the elective list or you transfer him

0:27:10 > 0:27:12to another hospital able to admit him for surgery now.

0:27:14 > 0:27:17It's a brave new world you've created. Good luck with that.

0:27:20 > 0:27:22On her way in?

0:27:22 > 0:27:25Er, yeah. She just had to pick my partner up from work first.

0:27:25 > 0:27:28- Bet she's excited. - Enjoying the ride?

0:27:28 > 0:27:31- No need for all of this. - Safety first.

0:27:32 > 0:27:36- 8½ months is fine, right? - Try not to worry about it.

0:27:36 > 0:27:38Mr Thompson's the top man for the job.

0:27:38 > 0:27:40I'll second that.

0:27:40 > 0:27:42Do you need a hand?

0:27:42 > 0:27:44I'm all right.

0:27:44 > 0:27:48Do you mind if I just pop off for a sec?

0:27:56 > 0:27:59- How's our patient? - No sign of labour yet.

0:27:59 > 0:28:02Had an induction the other week took 36 hours!

0:28:02 > 0:28:06I think her nerves are starting to get to her a bit.

0:28:06 > 0:28:07Yeah.

0:28:07 > 0:28:11Always the way when those big moments in life

0:28:11 > 0:28:13loom large on the horizon.

0:28:15 > 0:28:18Now, I've got tickets for Macbeth at the Playhouse on Saturday.

0:28:18 > 0:28:20Can't stand Shakespeare.

0:28:20 > 0:28:22Oh, I'm supposed to be taking my niece...

0:28:22 > 0:28:25All those words. Then everyone dies at the end.

0:28:25 > 0:28:29But she asked if she could take her appalling Goth boyfriend instead.

0:28:29 > 0:28:34- So I'm at a loose end now.- Me too. - Oh, perhaps you...

0:28:34 > 0:28:37- Hello?- You all right, Stace?

0:28:37 > 0:28:41- Yeah, I could do with that hand now please.- Coming.

0:28:53 > 0:28:56- All right Ritchie, you're on the move.- Where to?

0:28:56 > 0:28:58- Another hospital.- After all that.

0:28:58 > 0:29:01We've booked an ambulance, just need to do the paperwork.

0:29:01 > 0:29:04- Which one?- Dunfield. - That's miles away.

0:29:04 > 0:29:06- I know.- That's no good to me.

0:29:06 > 0:29:09- I'm sorry, it's the best I could do. - Maybe I should just go home.

0:29:09 > 0:29:11No, no, please.

0:29:16 > 0:29:19- Don't think much of him, do you? - I try not to think about him at all.

0:29:19 > 0:29:22- Why've you gone to so much trouble for me?- I want to help.

0:29:22 > 0:29:25- That's what he said earlier. - But he's a jerk.

0:29:25 > 0:29:28- And what am I? Piggy in the middle? - You're my patient.

0:29:32 > 0:29:35Er, where can I...?

0:29:36 > 0:29:39Managing to avoid the Yank?

0:29:40 > 0:29:42Yeah, that's easier said than done.

0:29:42 > 0:29:45- Come with me.- Why? - Just come with me.

0:29:47 > 0:29:49- What? - Max's ten commandments.

0:29:49 > 0:29:53Number One, thou shalt not do other people's jobs.

0:29:53 > 0:29:55Well, that's easier said than done.

0:29:55 > 0:29:58Number two, thou shalt not look random patient's in the eye.

0:29:58 > 0:30:01Max, that is just evil.

0:30:01 > 0:30:04Number three, delegate where ever possible.

0:30:04 > 0:30:07Ah, Lou, could you deal with, erm... Thank you.

0:30:07 > 0:30:10- That's fine if you're a doctor. - Number four, NHS.

0:30:10 > 0:30:12You've completely lost me now.

0:30:12 > 0:30:14No-one Has Solutions.

0:30:14 > 0:30:16We're just the string section on the Titanic.

0:30:16 > 0:30:19- The eternal optimist(!) - You know what your problem is?

0:30:19 > 0:30:22you think the whole place will grind to a halt if you're not here.

0:30:25 > 0:30:30Really? Cos you think you've got me all figured out, right?

0:30:30 > 0:30:33Mm-hmm. I'm going to go back to my office now.

0:30:34 > 0:30:38- Angry birds?- What else?

0:30:38 > 0:30:42Oi. What happened to the last six commandments?

0:30:42 > 0:30:44I gave up after four. Too much like hard work.

0:30:56 > 0:30:58Got the results?

0:30:58 > 0:31:00Positive.

0:31:00 > 0:31:02Brilliant(!)

0:31:02 > 0:31:04- Pretty low levels though. - That's irrelevant.

0:31:06 > 0:31:08- So...- She blew it.

0:31:10 > 0:31:13- You going to tell her?- Yeah.

0:31:17 > 0:31:20- What's the word on that ambulance? - It's booked.

0:31:20 > 0:31:23- Great.- Can I have a word about the transfer?- Yeah?

0:31:23 > 0:31:26- Are you paying overtime?- When did you turn into such a nine-to-fiver?

0:31:26 > 0:31:29- I just want to know. - What? You going to go on strike?

0:31:29 > 0:31:31Mr Spence.

0:31:31 > 0:31:34- George.- I hear you finally got your transfer.

0:31:34 > 0:31:37- Yeah, I did.- Dunfield's a perfectly respectful hospital.

0:31:37 > 0:31:40I'm thinking about asking if they've got a job there.

0:31:40 > 0:31:45No need. If you convince Mr Hanssen you've embraced change I'm sure he won't take the disciplinary route.

0:31:45 > 0:31:46Thanks, George.

0:31:46 > 0:31:48Oh, one more thing.

0:31:48 > 0:31:51You need Ms Campbell's signature on the paperwork

0:31:51 > 0:31:53before you can pack him off.

0:31:54 > 0:31:56It's procedure.

0:32:09 > 0:32:11At last.

0:32:11 > 0:32:13Sit down, Rachel.

0:32:13 > 0:32:14It is time, innit?

0:32:14 > 0:32:17- Afraid not.- What's the hold up?

0:32:17 > 0:32:20Please, sit down. There's a problem.

0:32:23 > 0:32:24You tested positive for alcohol.

0:32:27 > 0:32:28No, I didn't!

0:32:28 > 0:32:32- I've got it here in black and white.- Let me see that!

0:32:32 > 0:32:35- There are traces of alcohol in your blood and urine.- It's wrong.

0:32:35 > 0:32:39- We know you've had a drink recently. - No.- The tests don't lie.

0:32:39 > 0:32:44- I haven't!- Whereas you obviously do. - It must be a mistake.- No mistake.

0:32:46 > 0:32:49- You're not doing the transplant.? - We're sending you home.

0:32:49 > 0:32:53You can't do this. This is my chance.

0:32:53 > 0:32:55And maybe you'll get another one.

0:32:55 > 0:32:58I haven't had a drink, I swear to you.

0:32:58 > 0:33:01- I'm sorry.- You have to believe me, I haven't had a drink.

0:33:01 > 0:33:03I'm sorry, Rachel.

0:33:06 > 0:33:11You. Please, I haven't had a drink. You have to believe me!

0:33:11 > 0:33:13- I wish I could.- That liver's mine.

0:33:13 > 0:33:15No, it's not.

0:33:17 > 0:33:21- What did you say?- Margaret! - But it's mine now.- Come on.

0:33:21 > 0:33:25You're giving it to her? You grassed me up.

0:33:26 > 0:33:28You evil...

0:33:28 > 0:33:32- Enough.- I need that operation!

0:33:32 > 0:33:34It's too late.

0:33:34 > 0:33:37You just killed me.

0:33:43 > 0:33:45Stacey, what's up?

0:33:45 > 0:33:47Just been on the phone to my mum.

0:33:47 > 0:33:50There's been an accident on the motorway.

0:33:50 > 0:33:52Is she OK?

0:33:52 > 0:33:56Yeah, but they're stuck in traffic and they said it could take hours.

0:33:56 > 0:33:58OK, it's OK.

0:34:01 > 0:34:03I know we can't wait if...

0:34:03 > 0:34:04No, we can't.

0:34:04 > 0:34:06Alfie's the important one.

0:34:06 > 0:34:08That's right.

0:34:08 > 0:34:10Job done?

0:34:10 > 0:34:15- Afraid not no.- What went wrong? - Couldn't find the right words.

0:34:15 > 0:34:20Stacey, I could always come in with you

0:34:20 > 0:34:23if she doesn't make it on time.

0:34:26 > 0:34:29- Oh.- What? - I think my waters just broke.

0:34:29 > 0:34:33- How hard can it be?- Very, actually.

0:34:33 > 0:34:35Talk about faint heart!

0:34:35 > 0:34:37She'd probably laugh me off the ward anyway.

0:34:37 > 0:34:41Look, I know she can come off as a bit of a tough cookie

0:34:41 > 0:34:43but she loves the romance.

0:34:43 > 0:34:46- Really?- Oh, yeah!

0:34:46 > 0:34:49She wants a guy who'll rip his heart out of his chest

0:34:49 > 0:34:55and slap it on the table and say, "This is all yours!"

0:34:55 > 0:34:56If you don't do this,

0:34:56 > 0:34:59you're going to be kicking yourself for the rest of your life.

0:34:59 > 0:35:01- Mr T?- Yeah?

0:35:01 > 0:35:03Game on.

0:35:03 > 0:35:05Game on.

0:35:09 > 0:35:11I had a vodka.

0:35:15 > 0:35:19One stupid, tiny swig.

0:35:19 > 0:35:22It was my mum's birthday yesterday.

0:35:22 > 0:35:25I couldn't stop thinking about her.

0:35:27 > 0:35:30Second after I had it I phoned my sponsor and went to a meeting.

0:35:30 > 0:35:33Next thing I got a call about a transplant.

0:35:36 > 0:35:43I'm a good person, Ms Campbell. I just...need a chance.

0:35:45 > 0:35:47Please help me.

0:36:05 > 0:36:07We're nearly there, Stace.

0:36:07 > 0:36:09Can't wait to see his little face!

0:36:09 > 0:36:11Won't be long.

0:36:11 > 0:36:13Ooooh! GROANS

0:36:13 > 0:36:16- I really, really appreciate this. - Not a problem.

0:36:16 > 0:36:19See you in there, Stacey. Mo, have you got a minute, please?

0:36:19 > 0:36:23- Better make it quick. - Don't quite know how to say this.

0:36:23 > 0:36:25- Say what? - OK, heart on the table.

0:36:25 > 0:36:28- Isn't it cards on the table? - Yeah!

0:36:28 > 0:36:31Look, I think you are something north of wonderful.

0:36:31 > 0:36:35- And I would really like to take you out sometime.- Ah, mate. You don't half pick your moments!

0:36:35 > 0:36:38- PATIENT SCREAMS - What d'you say?

0:36:38 > 0:36:40SCREAMING

0:36:43 > 0:36:45It's going to the right person.

0:36:45 > 0:36:50Margaret delivered the bad news with a bit too much relish for my liking.

0:36:50 > 0:36:53If Rachel wants a second chance she has to prove she deserves it.

0:36:53 > 0:36:56Aah, the wonders of moral absolutes.

0:36:56 > 0:36:58So, apparently I need your permission

0:36:58 > 0:37:00before I dump my patient 50 miles up the road.

0:37:00 > 0:37:03- Is this your triple A? - So Binns has filled you in, ah?

0:37:03 > 0:37:08- Hanssen, actually.- Of course. - I'm no happier about this than you, Michael.- Yeah, all right, whatever.

0:37:08 > 0:37:11- I'm serious.- They needed a stooge and you were it.

0:37:11 > 0:37:14So you just handed Binns his opportunity on a silver platter.

0:37:14 > 0:37:16- I was misled. - You screwed everyone over.

0:37:22 > 0:37:23Great.

0:37:25 > 0:37:27You're sure they've got a bed for me in this place?

0:37:27 > 0:37:29Yeah, it's a four-poster with silk sheets.

0:37:29 > 0:37:33- I can get you a porter if you want. - No, it's all right.- Michael, look, I can still take him.

0:37:33 > 0:37:36Your shift's almost finished. I don't want exploit you.

0:37:40 > 0:37:42Retractor, please.

0:37:46 > 0:37:47OK.

0:37:49 > 0:37:51Are you with us?

0:37:52 > 0:37:54Not according to Michael Spence.

0:37:54 > 0:37:57Forget about that. And Rachel Reid.

0:37:57 > 0:37:59We've got a job to do.

0:38:01 > 0:38:03Oh, no.

0:38:03 > 0:38:05What's the problem?

0:38:05 > 0:38:08- Abdomen's covered in peritoneal deposits.- How extensive?

0:38:08 > 0:38:11- See for yourself. - When was her last scan?

0:38:11 > 0:38:13- Couple of weeks ago. - But nothing showed up?

0:38:13 > 0:38:16No. We'll have to abort. Pack the liver up.

0:38:16 > 0:38:20Let's take biopsies and get her out of here.

0:38:25 > 0:38:26So how's it looking?

0:38:26 > 0:38:28Nearly done.

0:38:28 > 0:38:30It's impressive.

0:38:30 > 0:38:32That'll be the full set.

0:38:32 > 0:38:34So, is he any good?

0:38:34 > 0:38:37- Proper little grandmaster. - Really?

0:38:38 > 0:38:40D'you play yourself?

0:38:40 > 0:38:43I can never think that many moves ahead.

0:38:46 > 0:38:49Excuse me, would you fill this in before you leave?

0:38:52 > 0:38:53What's happened?

0:38:53 > 0:38:56- Doesn't the operation take six hours?- Yeah.

0:38:56 > 0:38:58- So you didn't do it?- No.- Why not?

0:38:58 > 0:39:01There were complications.

0:39:01 > 0:39:04So what about the liver? Does that mean I can have it?

0:39:04 > 0:39:06- It must do.- It means...

0:39:06 > 0:39:09It means we find someone else on the list who's a match.

0:39:09 > 0:39:10- But... - I'll call the co-ordinator now.

0:39:10 > 0:39:13I'm here. I could have it.

0:39:13 > 0:39:16There's a procedure which we have to follow.

0:39:19 > 0:39:20I'm sorry.

0:39:23 > 0:39:26No, that's fine, I understand.

0:39:28 > 0:39:30Where's my ambulance?

0:39:30 > 0:39:32- There's been an RTA.- What?

0:39:32 > 0:39:35It's... Never mind, I've got to take you back inside.

0:39:35 > 0:39:37To lie on a trolley for another 12 hours?

0:39:37 > 0:39:42- Yeah, I know, Ritchie, it sucks but. - What about a taxi? I'll pay out of my own pocket.

0:39:42 > 0:39:46- It doesn't really work like that. - There must be something you can do.

0:39:47 > 0:39:49Er, hold on.

0:39:51 > 0:39:53Eddi.

0:39:53 > 0:39:56I need you to bring some kit down. Yeah, now.

0:40:01 > 0:40:02Not good.

0:40:02 > 0:40:04- What's that?- Michael.- Yeah?

0:40:04 > 0:40:07He's going to transfer Ritchie Mooney to Dunfield in our Outpatients Van.

0:40:07 > 0:40:10I didn't know we had an Outpatients Van.

0:40:10 > 0:40:11- Yeah, well, we do.- I've got it.

0:40:11 > 0:40:14Thank you. I've got to take these things down to him.

0:40:14 > 0:40:17He's going to need some help, he can't do this all on his own.

0:40:17 > 0:40:20No, No, stop right there. Look, don't even think it.

0:40:20 > 0:40:21Don't do it.

0:40:36 > 0:40:38Hello.

0:40:38 > 0:40:40Hi, Margaret.

0:40:40 > 0:40:41Thirsty.

0:40:56 > 0:40:58I...

0:40:58 > 0:41:02wanted to be here when you woke up.

0:41:02 > 0:41:04How did it go?

0:41:04 > 0:41:07I'm afraid we couldn't do the transplant.

0:41:07 > 0:41:09What?

0:41:09 > 0:41:11There were complications.

0:41:12 > 0:41:14Complications?

0:41:16 > 0:41:18Yeah.

0:41:18 > 0:41:19'WAILING'

0:41:21 > 0:41:23That's it, Stacey.

0:41:23 > 0:41:26- Up to 170.- Baby's heartbeat's just a little bit high.- No, no, no.

0:41:26 > 0:41:30- It's all right. Nothing to worry about.- Concentrate on pushing, please.- Come on, Alfie.

0:41:30 > 0:41:34- Come on, Stace. keep pushing. Push!- I am pushing!

0:41:34 > 0:41:36Come on, Stace.

0:41:36 > 0:41:41- It's no different than someone opening an umbrella up your bum. - SHE LAUGHS

0:41:42 > 0:41:45Keep going. I can see its head.

0:41:45 > 0:41:49One last push. Push!

0:41:51 > 0:41:54You did it, you did it.

0:41:56 > 0:41:57Well done.

0:42:07 > 0:42:09Here's your baby.

0:42:14 > 0:42:16Congratulations.

0:42:17 > 0:42:19Don't we make a great team?

0:42:26 > 0:42:28- Got everything, right?- Yep.

0:42:28 > 0:42:30Y'OK, Ritchie?

0:42:30 > 0:42:31Just get me out of here.

0:42:31 > 0:42:34What are you doing?

0:42:34 > 0:42:37You'll need an extra pair of hands, right?

0:42:37 > 0:42:39OK.

0:42:53 > 0:42:55How did the delivery go?

0:42:55 > 0:42:56Fine.

0:43:00 > 0:43:01PHONE BEEPS

0:43:09 > 0:43:10KNOCK ON DOOR

0:43:12 > 0:43:13Come in.

0:43:13 > 0:43:15Hi.

0:43:15 > 0:43:17Can't keep you away.

0:43:17 > 0:43:19I can come back later if it's a bad time.

0:43:19 > 0:43:23It's fine. Stacey settled in upstairs?

0:43:23 > 0:43:25Yep, couldn't be happier.

0:43:25 > 0:43:27Delivery suite brought back memories.

0:43:27 > 0:43:29Pleasant ones, I hope.

0:43:29 > 0:43:30Painful, actually.

0:43:30 > 0:43:34Oh, yeah, of course, sorry.

0:43:34 > 0:43:37So, I was wondering if you'd had any thoughts on my proposal.

0:43:37 > 0:43:38It's a proposal now?

0:43:38 > 0:43:42- Well, I was not proposing, per se... - Joke.- Oh.

0:43:44 > 0:43:47You've got flowers behind your back, haven't you?

0:43:47 > 0:43:49Yes.

0:43:49 > 0:43:52- They're lovely.- They're for you. - I can't take them.

0:43:52 > 0:43:55- Why not?- Because it's a no.

0:43:55 > 0:43:58You're a really lovely guy but you're my obstetrician.

0:43:58 > 0:44:01I know that might take away a bit of the mystery, but...

0:44:01 > 0:44:03- It's not that.- What is it, then?

0:44:04 > 0:44:07I don't need any more reminders of the baby.

0:44:10 > 0:44:13Why don't we just try one night out, see how we get on?

0:44:13 > 0:44:17- I don't think so.- You need a date for the weekend, don't you? - Who told you that?- Nobody.

0:44:19 > 0:44:22Look, can we just leave it here?

0:44:22 > 0:44:24Whatever you say.

0:44:24 > 0:44:28And pretend this conversation never happened?

0:44:28 > 0:44:29Absolutely.

0:44:31 > 0:44:34If you ever change your mind...

0:44:39 > 0:44:41Are you trying to turn me into the Holby joke?

0:44:41 > 0:44:44- What?- Or the Holby bike?

0:44:44 > 0:44:47- You've lost me. - I've just been propositioned.

0:44:47 > 0:44:48- By who?- Mr T.

0:44:48 > 0:44:51- He asked you out? - Just like you told him to.

0:44:51 > 0:44:53- I'm sorry?- Even gave him the details of my diary.

0:44:53 > 0:44:57- I never did, honest. - Don't lie to me, Jonathon.

0:44:57 > 0:44:59I thought you made a cute couple.

0:44:59 > 0:45:01Cos we both happen to work in the same place?

0:45:01 > 0:45:02He's a laugh, isn't he?

0:45:02 > 0:45:04I'm not a charity case.

0:45:04 > 0:45:06I never said you were.

0:45:06 > 0:45:10- What, is this to make up for the fact that you're blowing me out for this weekend?- Definitely not.

0:45:10 > 0:45:14- Just admit it.- Honest. - There's no need for the guilt trip.

0:45:14 > 0:45:16I mean, I do feel a bit guilty.

0:45:16 > 0:45:18We all have family commitments.

0:45:18 > 0:45:20I know, but...

0:45:20 > 0:45:25I wouldn't want you to miss your auntie's birthday any more than I'd miss my brother's do.

0:45:25 > 0:45:27That's very reasonable of you.

0:45:27 > 0:45:32Hey, we can think of each other while we're both sat there bored out of our skulls.

0:45:32 > 0:45:37- Yeah.- It gives me some comfort to know you'll be suffering just as much as I am.

0:45:37 > 0:45:39Ditto.

0:45:39 > 0:45:41We'll leave it at that, then.

0:45:41 > 0:45:44Cool.

0:45:48 > 0:45:53And...no hard feelings about the whole Mr Thompson thing.

0:45:53 > 0:45:54Nah.

0:45:55 > 0:45:57See, that's why I love you.

0:46:05 > 0:46:09- Thanks for coming. I'll make it up to you.- Too right you will.

0:46:10 > 0:46:11Hey, Ritchie, you OK?

0:46:11 > 0:46:14- No.- What's up?- My guts...

0:46:14 > 0:46:16- Yeah?- ..feel like concrete.

0:46:16 > 0:46:19All right, let's get him some pain relief.

0:46:19 > 0:46:21Ritchie, hang on.

0:46:21 > 0:46:22GROANS IN PAIN

0:46:27 > 0:46:30Ritchie, Ritchie, you all right? Ritchie?

0:46:30 > 0:46:32All right, let's bag him.

0:46:32 > 0:46:36I want you to turn around and get this thing back to the hospital!

0:46:38 > 0:46:41Ritchie, I need you to take big deep breaths for me OK.

0:46:43 > 0:46:45This can't be happening.

0:46:56 > 0:47:00I've spoken to your oncologist. He'll be up to see you soon.

0:47:00 > 0:47:03and we're chasing the biopsy results.

0:47:04 > 0:47:05What about the liver?

0:47:07 > 0:47:08Sorry?

0:47:08 > 0:47:10Will that girl get it?

0:47:10 > 0:47:15Unfortunately not. We're looking for another recipient match.

0:47:20 > 0:47:24I'm going to try to get a line in.

0:47:24 > 0:47:26Can't find a vein.

0:47:26 > 0:47:28Try his ankle.

0:47:31 > 0:47:33I'm going to put a mask on you to help with your breathing.

0:47:35 > 0:47:40Michael, his pulse is 60. We can't let him die in the back of this van.

0:47:42 > 0:47:45Yep, got it, south of his vein. We got a knife?

0:47:45 > 0:47:49Yep, hold on. Deep breaths, Ritchie.

0:47:49 > 0:47:50ALARM BEEPING

0:47:57 > 0:48:03- Keep breathing, Ritchie, you're doing really well.- Right, Ritchie, hold on this is going to hurt.

0:48:03 > 0:48:04MOANS IN PAIN

0:48:07 > 0:48:09Deep breaths.

0:48:17 > 0:48:19Line is going in. I'm ready for the adrenaline.

0:48:28 > 0:48:29ALARM STOPS

0:48:29 > 0:48:35All right, we got him back. I want you to phone up the hospital, tell them to get a crash team ready.

0:48:36 > 0:48:39Yep, OK. Thank you.

0:48:41 > 0:48:43- That was the co-ordinator.- And?

0:48:43 > 0:48:45They haven't found a recipient yet.

0:48:45 > 0:48:47So the liver could go to waste.

0:48:51 > 0:48:54It was one tiny slip.

0:48:54 > 0:48:56And how d'you know that for sure?

0:48:56 > 0:49:00She came and told me exactly what happened. And I believe her.

0:49:00 > 0:49:04- Even if she's telling the truth, she still has to get back on the wagon. - And wait another six months?

0:49:04 > 0:49:07- Yes.- Cos of one drink?- Yes.

0:49:07 > 0:49:11- And if she dies in the meantime? What? She's only got herself to blame.- Who else's fault is it?

0:49:11 > 0:49:14Have you never had a moment of weakness?

0:49:14 > 0:49:16Why are you fighting so hard for this girl?

0:49:17 > 0:49:21- Because there's no-one else to. - You really believe she can do it?

0:49:21 > 0:49:25She's all on her own, she's had to cope with the death of her mother,

0:49:25 > 0:49:27and apart from a single split-second lapse,

0:49:27 > 0:49:29she still stayed off the booze.

0:49:29 > 0:49:32What about the donor? We have a duty to them to ensure that the organ

0:49:32 > 0:49:38that they left behind and trusted to our care is put into the right body.

0:49:38 > 0:49:40Couldn't agree more.

0:49:40 > 0:49:45All right, say we break the rules and in twelve months time she's up back at Holby. What then?

0:49:45 > 0:49:48It'll be on my conscience.

0:50:01 > 0:50:02I need more bloods.

0:50:07 > 0:50:08'Lift going down.'

0:50:08 > 0:50:11Hang in there, Ritchie, you're going to be all right.

0:50:21 > 0:50:24- Where is she, Ms Campbell? - I don't know.

0:50:30 > 0:50:32Are they going to let me have it?

0:50:32 > 0:50:35If we go ahead with this transplant you have got one hell

0:50:35 > 0:50:37of a responsibility to the donor.

0:50:37 > 0:50:39Thank you so much.

0:50:41 > 0:50:42And their family.

0:50:42 > 0:50:46- I won't mess this up. - They're giving you your life back.

0:50:46 > 0:50:49- Thank you.- It's all right. Come on, let's get you back to bed.

0:50:50 > 0:50:52Ric.

0:50:53 > 0:50:56- What happened?- He collapsed on the way to his transfer.

0:50:56 > 0:50:58He should've never been taken off this ward.

0:50:58 > 0:51:01You'll have to take him to the recovery room, we've got a transplant to do.

0:51:01 > 0:51:05- Yeah, fine, I'll get a team together and we'll go in once you've done. Is that all right with you?- Fine.

0:51:05 > 0:51:07So, does he get his bed now?

0:51:33 > 0:51:34Look what I found.

0:51:35 > 0:51:40I'm going to stay with you until you get into theatre, we're going to get this sorted out.

0:51:40 > 0:51:43- Good lad.- What's that?- He made that.

0:51:43 > 0:51:47Could of made a whole set waiting for you lot to sort yourselves out.

0:51:47 > 0:51:52Tell you what, why don't you call your son, give him an update?

0:51:52 > 0:51:53Better had.

0:52:11 > 0:52:12I heard you were up here.

0:52:12 > 0:52:15Yeah, well, the transfer didn't go quite according to plan.

0:52:15 > 0:52:17Well, come on, it's home time.

0:52:17 > 0:52:19I said that I'd stay.

0:52:19 > 0:52:21I thought we were going for that drink.

0:52:22 > 0:52:25I'll follow you on in a bit.

0:52:25 > 0:52:27I'll be waiting.

0:52:27 > 0:52:29Good.

0:52:29 > 0:52:30Don't stay too long.

0:52:37 > 0:52:41'To re-record your message, key hash at any time.'

0:52:41 > 0:52:45Hiya, son. Just to let you know, I'm still in hospital.

0:52:45 > 0:52:48Had a bit of a turn.

0:52:48 > 0:52:51It's been a bloody nightmare but I...

0:52:54 > 0:52:56ALARMS BEEP

0:53:00 > 0:53:02Michael!

0:53:07 > 0:53:09- What's going on?- He's arrested.

0:53:09 > 0:53:11Come on, Ritchie.

0:53:11 > 0:53:13Let's get a crash trolley.

0:53:14 > 0:53:16Come on, Ritchie.

0:53:19 > 0:53:22Hang in there, Ritchie.

0:53:22 > 0:53:25Come on. Charge again.

0:53:27 > 0:53:28Clear.

0:53:30 > 0:53:33- Let's hope you're right about her. - Sometimes you've just got to believe in people.

0:53:33 > 0:53:34Even when they're screw-ups.

0:53:34 > 0:53:38And this from the hospital's social conscience.

0:53:38 > 0:53:39Me? Yeah, right.

0:53:39 > 0:53:41True, though, isn't it?

0:53:41 > 0:53:46According to the hospital's ball-breaking bureaucrat.

0:53:46 > 0:53:49PHONE RINGS

0:53:51 > 0:53:55- Miss Campbell, Chrissie for you. - Put her on speakerphone, please. Hello?

0:53:55 > 0:53:57I'm really sorry, but I thought you'd want to know.

0:53:57 > 0:54:01- There's been a complication with Michael Spence's patient. - I thought he'd been stabilised.

0:54:01 > 0:54:04'It was sudden. He just died on the ward.'

0:54:05 > 0:54:09Has Mr Hanssen been told yet?

0:54:09 > 0:54:10'I don't know.'

0:54:10 > 0:54:12Thanks for letting me know.

0:54:16 > 0:54:18Brilliant.

0:54:18 > 0:54:20It's not your problem right now.

0:54:20 > 0:54:22But it will be.

0:54:34 > 0:54:38- You know what? Max was right.- About what?- I should have stayed well out of this.

0:54:38 > 0:54:41- A man is dead, Eddi. - Yeah, I know that.

0:54:41 > 0:54:45So stop worrying about covering your ass.

0:54:45 > 0:54:48Thought you were on your mercy dash.

0:54:48 > 0:54:50Ms Campbell gone into theatre yet?

0:54:50 > 0:54:53- Got a minute, Mr Binns? - For you? Always.

0:54:53 > 0:54:54Good.

0:54:54 > 0:54:58Someone I want you to take a look at.

0:54:58 > 0:55:01- What are you doing? - Get up. Come on, let's take a look.

0:55:01 > 0:55:02Michael, stop.

0:55:02 > 0:55:06Let's take a look at your poster boy for this goddamn referral scheme.

0:55:06 > 0:55:08- Mr Spence, have you gone mad? - Michael.

0:55:08 > 0:55:12Come on, what d'you think?

0:55:12 > 0:55:14Almost looks real, almost looks like a real person.
