0:00:38 > 0:00:41As you're no doubt aware, you have a brain tumour.
0:00:41 > 0:00:44Aisha's ventricular function has gone down significantly.
0:00:44 > 0:00:48Right, then let's be bold. Prep her for theatre.
0:00:48 > 0:00:49It's going to work.
0:00:49 > 0:00:50What? What is this?
0:00:50 > 0:00:52My brain tumour.
0:00:52 > 0:00:54Fancy going for a drink?
0:00:54 > 0:00:57I've kind of got some plans.
0:00:57 > 0:00:59Hi. What are you doing on Keller?
0:00:59 > 0:01:03Oh, Mr Malick thought you could do with a bit of experience round here.
0:01:05 > 0:01:08Yeah? Right on! That is very impressive.
0:01:08 > 0:01:11You mailed it all by yourself? (Letter to Santa).
0:01:11 > 0:01:13Uh-huh. All right, what else is going on?
0:01:13 > 0:01:15Ah, a tree decorating party?
0:01:15 > 0:01:18OK. you get to put the star on, all right?
0:01:18 > 0:01:20All right, all right, yes. Go, go, go. Put your sister on.
0:01:20 > 0:01:22Hey, hey.
0:01:22 > 0:01:24Wait till you see mine.
0:01:24 > 0:01:26Like spending Christmas with a pneumatic drill.
0:01:26 > 0:01:28Don't say I didn't warn you.
0:01:28 > 0:01:30You are not scaring me, all right?
0:01:30 > 0:01:33I've got something I want you to take a look at.
0:01:33 > 0:01:34Ta-da!
0:01:35 > 0:01:37What's...what's all this?
0:01:37 > 0:01:40Kids, Christmas presents - join the dots.
0:01:40 > 0:01:42Fire in the warehouse at St Crispin's dock.
0:01:42 > 0:01:45Half the town's homeless population is about to descend upon us.
0:01:45 > 0:01:46As is Her Royal Highness,
0:01:46 > 0:01:49who's just called to say that her ward inspection is still on.
0:01:49 > 0:01:52- You know what she can do with her ward inspection.- If only. Now,
0:01:52 > 0:01:55I am preparing the staff to patient ratios,
0:01:55 > 0:01:56you get on with the policy docs.
0:01:56 > 0:01:59- Who is the clinical lead here? - Oh, Michael, please.
0:01:59 > 0:02:01Not in front of the kids.
0:02:11 > 0:02:14- Dr Lo, are you listening?- Yeah.
0:02:14 > 0:02:17So what did I just say?
0:02:17 > 0:02:18Um...
0:02:18 > 0:02:20Let's pick this up in the new year?
0:02:20 > 0:02:23But we're so close to a breakthrough!
0:02:23 > 0:02:25- I know but we need this place clear before Christmas.- OK, guys,
0:02:25 > 0:02:29prescriptions to Dr Lo, paper work counter-signed by the big man here.
0:02:29 > 0:02:33Fastest to discharge a bay wins this delicious stollen.
0:02:35 > 0:02:39It's OK, you won't be single-handed. Ollie flew back first thing.
0:02:43 > 0:02:47Do we know yet why Dr Valentine exited stage left?
0:02:49 > 0:02:53Yeah, well, I told him. He ran a mile.
0:03:03 > 0:03:07- Cool.- Oh, hello!- Nice outfit.
0:03:07 > 0:03:11Thanks! Well, this isn't actually me, I took a picture and I...
0:03:11 > 0:03:14- I gathered that.- Of course you did. - I was heading your way actually.
0:03:14 > 0:03:17- Were you?- Yeah. Malick called a consult.
0:03:17 > 0:03:19Oh. I was just heading back too.
0:03:21 > 0:03:23So, are you coming to the party?
0:03:23 > 0:03:26Only if you turn up wearing that little number.
0:03:26 > 0:03:27So...
0:03:27 > 0:03:29Catch you in a bit, yeah?
0:03:37 > 0:03:40Buongiorno, amico. Where's our giant Toblerone?
0:03:40 > 0:03:42- Sorry, I was a bit rushed. - Tell me about it.
0:03:42 > 0:03:45OK, Dr Lo is discharging everyone we can before Christmas.
0:03:45 > 0:03:49Get yourself stuck in. Oh, Nurse, go on a chocolate run.
0:03:49 > 0:03:52Don't want Hope getting tetchy. Go on!
0:03:52 > 0:03:56Hi. Did you get my e-mail?
0:03:56 > 0:03:57Didn't have a chance to read it.
0:03:57 > 0:03:59It was an apology.
0:04:00 > 0:04:04Professor Hope is leaving Herzig till the new year.
0:04:04 > 0:04:05Look, shall we...?
0:04:05 > 0:04:07Got to go - discharges.
0:04:09 > 0:04:12- Hey.- OK, Kathleen Pennington.
0:04:12 > 0:04:14Miss Effanga did an outstanding bypass graft
0:04:14 > 0:04:16but she's still in heart failure.
0:04:16 > 0:04:21This lady here has been waiting on news, so...go.
0:04:25 > 0:04:27Hi, are you here for Mrs Pennington?
0:04:27 > 0:04:28Nope.
0:04:31 > 0:04:33She didn't cark it then?
0:04:33 > 0:04:36- Sorry, who are you? - She's my dad's wife. Was.
0:04:36 > 0:04:39Oh, are you Jacqui? We've got you down as next of kin.
0:04:39 > 0:04:43- Ha!- So you're not here to take her home then?- No.
0:04:43 > 0:04:47Right, well she's going to need a significant amount of support so...
0:04:47 > 0:04:50I just wanted to see if she'd made it. My concern ends there.
0:04:50 > 0:04:54Right, well, I'll ask social care about her residential options then.
0:04:54 > 0:04:57You do that. I'm off home. Tons to do. Tons.
0:05:02 > 0:05:06Tara. Tara.
0:05:27 > 0:05:29Oh, no, no, Ollie, no.
0:05:29 > 0:05:31- Not here, please. - Just tell me the prognosis.
0:05:31 > 0:05:34- You should've asked me that two weeks ago.- I know.
0:05:34 > 0:05:36Please tell me what's happening.
0:05:36 > 0:05:38Nothing.
0:05:38 > 0:05:40Have you seen a specialist?
0:05:40 > 0:05:44- Mr Hanssen's been monitoring me. - You told Hanssen and not me?
0:05:44 > 0:05:48- OK, who else knows?- No-one.
0:05:48 > 0:05:52So let it go. It's not a big deal.
0:05:52 > 0:05:56No snogging in the lift.
0:05:57 > 0:05:59I retract my banter unreservedly.
0:05:59 > 0:06:01- You should've told me. - There's nothing to tell.
0:06:01 > 0:06:03- I've been reading up on it. - Well, please don't.
0:06:03 > 0:06:08- Just tell me what...- Oliver, everything is completely ruined, OK?
0:06:08 > 0:06:11This is the last thing that I need.
0:06:11 > 0:06:13- You really want to help? - Yes, of course.
0:06:13 > 0:06:16Go and tell Mrs Pennington she's stuck here for Christmas.
0:06:16 > 0:06:19Jeff Gray, 33, fireman, referred from ED.
0:06:19 > 0:06:25GCS four on arrival, his Sats are 90, his BP's 110/60.
0:06:25 > 0:06:28Paramedics found him collapsed next to her.
0:06:28 > 0:06:31She's a squatter from the warehouse. Apparently she dragged him out.
0:06:31 > 0:06:33Her? That's some weight to drag.
0:06:33 > 0:06:36Big lacerations on the forehead, superficial burns,
0:06:36 > 0:06:38breathing difficulties.
0:06:38 > 0:06:41Apparently she's got chest pains but she hasn't said a word so far.
0:06:41 > 0:06:43No, no, no. Keep this on, keep this on. It'll help. That's it.
0:06:43 > 0:06:46Sister Williams, any reason the fire doors are wedged open?
0:06:46 > 0:06:47I don't know if you noticed
0:06:47 > 0:06:49but we're kind of in the middle of something.
0:06:49 > 0:06:53Exactly. I'm trying to prevent you plunging into further chaos.
0:06:53 > 0:06:55I'll check.
0:06:55 > 0:06:57I'm here. You need anything, just shout.
0:06:57 > 0:06:59I may need to take you up on that.
0:06:59 > 0:07:02- I'm not selling the house. - I'm not asking you to.
0:07:02 > 0:07:06- His pension will cover the cost. - It's really not your concern.
0:07:06 > 0:07:10- Right, well, I'm off home, then. I'm snowed under.- May I?
0:07:10 > 0:07:13Kathleen, I'm just going to listen to your chest, if that's all right.
0:07:13 > 0:07:15Don't give me that look.
0:07:15 > 0:07:17I'm doing nothing of the kind.
0:07:17 > 0:07:21- You know what you're doing. - Oh, fine! I will avert my gaze.
0:07:23 > 0:07:26Have the nurses done my hair?
0:07:26 > 0:07:30Oh, for goodness' sake, Kathleen. You're a wreck, face it.
0:07:30 > 0:07:34As ever, your plain-speaking is appreciated.
0:07:35 > 0:07:37Give the children my love.
0:07:42 > 0:07:45Well, your heart rate's not too bad, considering.
0:07:45 > 0:07:48- I am feeling stronger.- Good.
0:07:52 > 0:07:54Where do I go now?
0:07:56 > 0:07:59Social care will assess your assets.
0:07:59 > 0:08:01No need. They're nil.
0:08:04 > 0:08:10- You can stay here until we source an NHS provider for your care.- Oh!
0:08:10 > 0:08:12Do you have any other family?
0:08:12 > 0:08:14She is.
0:08:14 > 0:08:17Was.
0:08:17 > 0:08:19We had a big dispute over money.
0:08:19 > 0:08:21Which I lost.
0:08:21 > 0:08:23- That's a shame.- Yes, it is.
0:08:25 > 0:08:28Onwards and all that sort of...
0:08:31 > 0:08:32Thank you, Mrs Pennington.
0:08:35 > 0:08:39OK, apply the adhesive in a dotted line along the wound's edge.
0:08:39 > 0:08:41Yeah. Great.
0:08:43 > 0:08:46Can you talk? Tell us your name?
0:08:46 > 0:08:48She could be in shock or have smoke inhalation.
0:08:48 > 0:08:50Let's just give her peace and quiet.
0:08:50 > 0:08:52- MACHINE BEEPS - Bed two.
0:08:55 > 0:08:57Sats are down to 70%.
0:08:57 > 0:09:00OK, burnt skin has hardened, constricting the lungs.
0:09:00 > 0:09:02We're going to need to do an emergency escharotomy.
0:09:02 > 0:09:03Get me a scalpel, please.
0:09:08 > 0:09:12OK, we're going to need to do this quick. Get another scalpel.
0:09:18 > 0:09:21- I need you to cut down the other side. Just copy.- What?
0:09:21 > 0:09:25It's all right. I'm right here. Cut down in a straight line.
0:09:25 > 0:09:26Come on, you can do it.
0:09:29 > 0:09:32Good. Excellent, just like that.
0:09:33 > 0:09:36You ever considered becoming a nurse?
0:09:36 > 0:09:39What, me? Maybe, in another life.
0:09:40 > 0:09:41Yes.
0:09:41 > 0:09:45Technically meets the criteria but it'd be a tough sell to the MRC.
0:09:45 > 0:09:47But we've enough to inch forward.
0:09:47 > 0:09:51At her age, the Herzig could only give her six months.
0:09:51 > 0:09:53At least let me sound her out?
0:09:53 > 0:09:56No. One does not simply run into Mordor.
0:09:56 > 0:09:58Let me float it with her.
0:09:58 > 0:10:02If we're going to try again, we need to tread more carefully than we did.
0:10:06 > 0:10:10- How stable is she?- Stable.
0:10:10 > 0:10:12OK, then let's wait until after Christmas.
0:10:12 > 0:10:15- Would it not be good to seize the moment?- You sound like Dr Lo.
0:10:15 > 0:10:18Can I at least discuss it with her?
0:10:18 > 0:10:23I would rather you didn't. It's too soon. For me.
0:10:23 > 0:10:24Professor.
0:10:28 > 0:10:30I can't believe I said no to Craig when he asked me
0:10:30 > 0:10:33and I'm frigging stranded. Can you believe it?
0:10:33 > 0:10:35Have you finished with that?
0:10:35 > 0:10:37Who you going with?
0:10:37 > 0:10:38Going where?
0:10:38 > 0:10:40To the party.
0:10:40 > 0:10:43Don't need anyone. The Malick's a one man power station.
0:10:43 > 0:10:46- I suppose Rhys is taking you.- Um...
0:10:46 > 0:10:49Or do you have to join the very long queue?
0:10:49 > 0:10:52Well, we've not really talked about it yet.
0:10:54 > 0:10:56Oh, can we try and keep things clean around here.
0:10:56 > 0:10:59Mrs Cousins could be down any minute.
0:11:00 > 0:11:04- Anything else?- Yes. Could you give Mr Barksdale a shave, please?
0:11:04 > 0:11:06Aye, aye, matron.
0:11:09 > 0:11:11Right, patient. Finn Boyd.
0:11:11 > 0:11:13Chef. Cut himself in the kitchen.
0:11:13 > 0:11:15Very deep laceration. Needs suturing.
0:11:17 > 0:11:20I'd get in there if I were you. Before she does.
0:11:25 > 0:11:27What do I do? Put CCTV in the linen cupboard?
0:11:27 > 0:11:31I'm simply trying to avoid a repeat of the Ric Griffin debacle.
0:11:31 > 0:11:33They're drawing up a list of who's shagging who now.
0:11:33 > 0:11:37Pretty sure nothing like that happens on Darwin. Dr Lo?
0:11:37 > 0:11:39Any conflicts of interests?
0:11:39 > 0:11:42Professor Hope, have you sexually harassed anyone recently?
0:11:42 > 0:11:45No, too busy with my research I'm afraid.
0:11:45 > 0:11:49Which brings me neatly to the Herzig project.
0:11:49 > 0:11:53I'm going to recommend to the Board we cancel the trial.
0:11:53 > 0:11:55Look, I know we've had a set-back.
0:11:55 > 0:11:58I'm not convinced it's right for us.
0:11:58 > 0:12:00With respect, I don't think you know anything about it.
0:12:00 > 0:12:05With respect, I'm not clear Darwin's managing its current workload.
0:12:05 > 0:12:07It's the pre-Christmas getaway.
0:12:07 > 0:12:09We need this project.
0:12:09 > 0:12:11I'm sorry, I've AOB'd it now.
0:12:12 > 0:12:15- Why us?- Tara.
0:12:15 > 0:12:16There'll be other opportunities.
0:12:16 > 0:12:19When! Next year? In five years' time?
0:12:19 > 0:12:22When will there be a chance like this?
0:12:26 > 0:12:29I'm sorry. I've been on nights.
0:12:31 > 0:12:36Professor Hope, will you cascade the information to the relevant people?
0:12:36 > 0:12:37Absolutely.
0:12:37 > 0:12:40Could you tell the patient that the operation's been cancelled?
0:12:40 > 0:12:43I think it would be best if it came from the top.
0:12:43 > 0:12:46I wasn't told there was an ongoing discussion with a patient?
0:12:46 > 0:12:48The elderly lady in bay one?
0:12:48 > 0:12:50Right. Well, in light of that...
0:12:51 > 0:12:55..I'll be happy to delay airing my concerns at Board level
0:12:55 > 0:12:59until the situation has been clarified from your point of view.
0:12:59 > 0:13:00Thank you.
0:13:05 > 0:13:09- Please don't make a liar of me again.- Sorry.
0:13:09 > 0:13:13At least I bought the Herzig more time.
0:13:13 > 0:13:14Let's hope you have.
0:13:19 > 0:13:22- Ouch.- Must have been some stomach cramp
0:13:22 > 0:13:23to make you cut yourself like this.
0:13:23 > 0:13:25A couple more inches to the left and
0:13:25 > 0:13:28that would have been it for the family jewels, bud. Look at that -
0:13:28 > 0:13:30straight through the deep fascia.
0:13:33 > 0:13:36Yeah. Yeah.
0:13:36 > 0:13:40Anyway. Let's have another quick feel, shall we?
0:13:43 > 0:13:45HE GROANS Ah, there's the spot.
0:13:45 > 0:13:47Seeing as you've been having these for a while
0:13:47 > 0:13:49and you're not passing urine properly,
0:13:49 > 0:13:51we'll need a contrast X-ray to check kidney function.
0:13:51 > 0:13:54Can you suture this first, please?
0:13:54 > 0:13:56Don't panic, you're in good hands with Nurse Lane.
0:13:56 > 0:13:58She's got the magic touch.
0:13:58 > 0:13:59You've struck gold with this one.
0:13:59 > 0:14:02Page me when he's on his way.
0:14:02 > 0:14:05I'll be right back.
0:14:05 > 0:14:08Rhys. Would you like... I mean,
0:14:08 > 0:14:10do you want to go for a coffee?
0:14:10 > 0:14:12I thought you'd be up to your eyeballs?
0:14:12 > 0:14:15Oh, it won't take long and I'm due a break soon.
0:14:15 > 0:14:18I've got a consult in urology and then I'll swing by and pick you up.
0:14:29 > 0:14:31Oh, sorry.
0:14:33 > 0:14:37Actually, I'm looking for somewhere to hide this.
0:14:37 > 0:14:41It's Secret Santa for Charge Nurse Reilly.
0:14:47 > 0:14:48Are you all right?
0:14:50 > 0:14:54Yeah, just checking...things.
0:14:55 > 0:14:58Well, if you're not too busy,
0:14:58 > 0:15:02I'd like you to approach Kathleen Pennington to see
0:15:02 > 0:15:05if she'd be a willing candidate for the Herzig.
0:15:05 > 0:15:06Are you serious?
0:15:06 > 0:15:11Oliver managed to persuade Mrs Cousins to give us a reprieve.
0:15:11 > 0:15:12Thank you so much!
0:15:12 > 0:15:14Don't thank me, thank Oliver.
0:15:17 > 0:15:19He's very fond of you, you know.
0:15:19 > 0:15:22Yeah, well, he has a great way of showing it.
0:15:24 > 0:15:31Sometimes running a mile can bring you back to where you came from.
0:15:32 > 0:15:34Only you're more tired.
0:15:35 > 0:15:38There's a lesson in that.
0:15:38 > 0:15:41What, don't tell people if you have a tumour?
0:15:43 > 0:15:47Meet him halfway and it's like he never left.
0:15:49 > 0:15:53Now, can we leave this room separately, please?
0:16:06 > 0:16:10I know, it's very full on here, isn't it.
0:16:10 > 0:16:13MACHINE BEEPS
0:16:14 > 0:16:17Mr Gray! Mr Gray, can you hear me? Mr Gray?
0:16:17 > 0:16:21I need some help here. I need some help! Somebody!
0:16:21 > 0:16:22Do something!
0:16:22 > 0:16:25- I can't.- He's going to die, you idiot!
0:16:25 > 0:16:27BEEPING INTENSIFIES
0:16:42 > 0:16:46Miss Gomez, what the hell do you think you're doing?
0:16:51 > 0:16:53- I can't find the... - Herzig consent forms?
0:16:53 > 0:16:55Thank you.
0:16:59 > 0:17:02Don't think this gets you out of the donkey work.
0:17:03 > 0:17:06- Can I go in? - Oh, Jacqui, I thought you'd left.
0:17:06 > 0:17:09I was just checking there's nothing more needed of me.
0:17:09 > 0:17:11I don't want her bothering me over Christmas.
0:17:11 > 0:17:12Can it wait half an hour?
0:17:12 > 0:17:15- Not really.- I just need to do a quick examination.
0:17:15 > 0:17:17Why does it take half an hour, then?
0:17:19 > 0:17:22Has she said she doesn't want to see me any more?
0:17:22 > 0:17:23No, not that I'm aware of.
0:17:23 > 0:17:27Look, This won't even take 20 minutes. Ten.
0:17:27 > 0:17:29Right, well...
0:17:29 > 0:17:32She is very weak. I don't think another confrontation is...
0:17:32 > 0:17:36Tell her, not me. She's the one that gets aggressive!
0:17:42 > 0:17:45Do you need to retrain all your care assistants?!
0:17:45 > 0:17:47Because the buck stops with you. You are their line manager.
0:17:47 > 0:17:51It wasn't me who encouraged Miss Gomez to think outside the box.
0:17:51 > 0:17:55- What?- Mr Spence thinks she's wasted in her current position.
0:17:57 > 0:17:59What's going on here?
0:17:59 > 0:18:04Miss Gomez tried to intubate a patient on her own.
0:18:04 > 0:18:08I shouted for help but no-one was coming and he wasn't breathing.
0:18:08 > 0:18:11You do realise you could have broken his teeth, damaged his larynx,
0:18:11 > 0:18:12caused aspiration pneumonia.
0:18:12 > 0:18:15All right, hang on. Is the patient OK?
0:18:15 > 0:18:16Yes, now.
0:18:16 > 0:18:18All right, well, what else was she supposed to do?
0:18:18 > 0:18:21Let the patient die? She showed some initiative.
0:18:21 > 0:18:24Oh, come on, Michael.
0:18:24 > 0:18:28We let clueless junior doctors loose on intubation every day.
0:18:28 > 0:18:29That's not the point.
0:18:29 > 0:18:32I know what the point is, I'm sure Miss Gomez knows what the point is
0:18:32 > 0:18:36and I'm very sure she's not going to do something like that anytime soon.
0:18:36 > 0:18:39All right? Can I see you outside.
0:18:46 > 0:18:48Wow, that was... Thank you.
0:18:48 > 0:18:51They need to get a life. You were just using your head.
0:18:51 > 0:18:55They got a problem with it, they can come and see me. It's my ward.
0:18:59 > 0:19:03- Do you know about the Minerva project?- Yes, it's not applicable.
0:19:03 > 0:19:05What about Holmes, Worthington and Montgomery...?
0:19:05 > 0:19:08At Northwestern. It's not applicable either.
0:19:08 > 0:19:12And I know about Visara in Karachi, Hogarth in Tel Aviv
0:19:12 > 0:19:15and Dr Patel's pioneering work in Canberra.
0:19:15 > 0:19:17Nice try, but there is nothing you can tell me.
0:19:17 > 0:19:19What about Castiglio in Turin?
0:19:19 > 0:19:22I don't know it. And if I don't know it then...
0:19:22 > 0:19:23Just give it a read.
0:19:25 > 0:19:28I'll broach the Herzig with Mrs Pennington. You take your time.
0:19:36 > 0:19:38Wow, that's some knife went in there.
0:19:38 > 0:19:43A Messerheidegger 356. It's a multi-functional
0:19:43 > 0:19:46garlic presser, shell cracker, slicer, chopper.
0:19:46 > 0:19:50Impressive. I can't cook to save my life. I love MasterChef, though.
0:19:50 > 0:19:55Oh, I'm not a chef. Not yet. More of a kitchen hand, really.
0:19:55 > 0:19:58Oh, well, you've got to start somewhere!
0:19:58 > 0:20:00Everything OK?
0:20:00 > 0:20:03Oh, yeah. Yeah.
0:20:03 > 0:20:06Don't worry I'll be super quick. Okey-dokey.
0:20:06 > 0:20:08- No! No! No, don't!- What is it?
0:20:08 > 0:20:10No needles, take the needle away. Away!
0:20:10 > 0:20:15I... I have a needle phobia.
0:20:15 > 0:20:17Oh.
0:20:17 > 0:20:20I'm sorry. I thought I'd be all right.
0:20:20 > 0:20:22Makes no sense, I know.
0:20:22 > 0:20:26I work with knives but I can't handle a needle. I'm sorry.
0:20:26 > 0:20:28It's OK.
0:20:28 > 0:20:29This is embarrassing.
0:20:29 > 0:20:33No! It's nothing to be ashamed of. We're all afraid of something.
0:20:33 > 0:20:35Let's just take it slowly.
0:20:35 > 0:20:37Of course. Take as much time as you need.
0:20:39 > 0:20:44It's titanium. So basically it'll stop the heart from thrombosing.
0:20:46 > 0:20:49Why the sudden reprieve?
0:20:49 > 0:20:51We were discussing who'd make the best candidate.
0:20:51 > 0:20:53Of course you were.
0:20:54 > 0:20:57And then I saw your notes and I thought, well...
0:20:57 > 0:20:59What's in it for me?
0:20:59 > 0:21:02Realistically, this could give you six more months. Possibly more.
0:21:04 > 0:21:10Of what? Sing songs? Lavender pillows in some hovel?
0:21:10 > 0:21:12You would still need full-time care, yes.
0:21:12 > 0:21:15Well, then, I'm sorry. I see absolutely no point.
0:21:18 > 0:21:21I understand completely. Thank you for your time.
0:21:21 > 0:21:25It strikes me that it's a complete waste of money.
0:21:31 > 0:21:37Well, the theory is that with other patients...
0:21:37 > 0:21:38- Younger people.- Yes.
0:21:38 > 0:21:42..it may provide long term advantages
0:21:42 > 0:21:46once the technology has been finessed.
0:21:47 > 0:21:49It's an experiment.
0:21:49 > 0:21:51You're asking me to be a guinea pig?
0:21:53 > 0:21:56Essentially, yes.
0:21:56 > 0:22:00Well, you should've said so in the first place.
0:22:00 > 0:22:05Well, many people value the opportunity to have more time.
0:22:05 > 0:22:08- Look, this is just...- Spare me the sales pitch. I'll do it.
0:22:09 > 0:22:13Really? Wow. I mean...
0:22:13 > 0:22:18So long as you promise science will keep my name alive for ever.
0:22:18 > 0:22:19- I'm...- I'm joking.
0:22:21 > 0:22:22Yes. Of course you are.
0:22:24 > 0:22:28Well, to be blunt, as long as it doesn't kill me,
0:22:28 > 0:22:30I've got nothing to lose.
0:22:31 > 0:22:35Well, she can talk. But still she won't tell us her name.
0:22:35 > 0:22:38These tests are inconclusive.
0:22:38 > 0:22:42They must have cut them off in ED. These are expensive.
0:22:42 > 0:22:44A homeless person wearing designer clothes?
0:22:44 > 0:22:47- Maybe she found them in a skip? - What, and these too?
0:22:52 > 0:22:54I don't think you should be going through her stuff.
0:22:54 > 0:22:56- Oh.- What?
0:23:00 > 0:23:04All right, let's go talk to her. But let me handle it.
0:23:04 > 0:23:09This study in Turin. It won't work on low-grade cytoma.
0:23:09 > 0:23:10Basic error.
0:23:11 > 0:23:13I'm sorry.
0:23:13 > 0:23:16You know, I actually thought that you had found something!
0:23:16 > 0:23:18That you were on to something. That there might be a chance.
0:23:18 > 0:23:20I actually believed that.
0:23:22 > 0:23:23I don't know what to say. I was....
0:23:23 > 0:23:25Just taking random guesses?
0:23:25 > 0:23:27Just going off what I saw on the scans.
0:23:27 > 0:23:29What, before you ran off to Mummy?
0:23:29 > 0:23:32This just takes let downs to a whole new level.
0:23:34 > 0:23:36Fine, I give up.
0:23:39 > 0:23:41How can you do this to me?
0:23:41 > 0:23:42Walk away when I need you most?
0:23:42 > 0:23:45What do you want me to do? Tell me and I'll do it.
0:23:45 > 0:23:49BEEPING
0:23:49 > 0:23:53Kathleen. Kathleen, can you hear me?
0:23:55 > 0:23:59No! No, no, no, no, no! Sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry.
0:23:59 > 0:24:00I am so sorry.
0:24:00 > 0:24:02It's OK. Please don't get upset.
0:24:02 > 0:24:05You ready?
0:24:05 > 0:24:08No, we.... It's taking a bit longer than I thought.
0:24:08 > 0:24:10It is a deep tissue cut.
0:24:12 > 0:24:13Are you taking your break?
0:24:13 > 0:24:15I can't just now.
0:24:15 > 0:24:16OK, well... I'll take mine then.
0:24:18 > 0:24:20- Coffee?- Yeah.
0:24:21 > 0:24:26I'd get you one, but seeing as they're banned on the ward today.
0:24:26 > 0:24:29Stalin's on the prowl and everyone's wetting themselves.
0:24:30 > 0:24:33I'm sorry. I made you miss your break.
0:24:33 > 0:24:34No, it's OK.
0:24:34 > 0:24:35THEY LAUGH
0:24:38 > 0:24:42Then again, those two look as if they'd rather be alone.
0:24:42 > 0:24:45You still here? What's going on?
0:24:48 > 0:24:51OK, well, so far so good. The swelling is going down on the cut.
0:24:51 > 0:24:52How are you feeling?
0:24:52 > 0:24:54Fine.
0:24:54 > 0:24:56Pain anywhere?
0:24:58 > 0:25:01You know, I'm sure he would like to thank whoever saved his life
0:25:01 > 0:25:02when he wakes up.
0:25:02 > 0:25:05Well, it wasn't me. I had nothing to do with it.
0:25:05 > 0:25:07Really? Cos the paramedics said...
0:25:07 > 0:25:11And I'm telling you that I've never seen him before.
0:25:14 > 0:25:17We have your things.
0:25:32 > 0:25:34They're beautiful boys. Are they yours?
0:25:37 > 0:25:39When can I go, please?
0:25:40 > 0:25:43Well, you still look a little peaky so I'd like to run a few more tests.
0:25:43 > 0:25:46No, no, no. I don't want that. I just want to go.
0:25:46 > 0:25:50Look, you're safe here. If you're in trouble, we can help.
0:25:50 > 0:25:54I don't need your help. I don't need anyone's help.
0:25:54 > 0:25:56Ramona, can I have a word?
0:25:57 > 0:26:00She was fine, I was just away for....
0:26:00 > 0:26:04Can you look past my right ear? Mrs Pennington, look at me.
0:26:04 > 0:26:07Mrs Pennington, can you squeeze my hand?
0:26:07 > 0:26:08What is it? Stroke?
0:26:08 > 0:26:11Or a TIA? Is she squeezing? Her heart rate looks fine.
0:26:11 > 0:26:13B/P's stable at 134 over 87.
0:26:13 > 0:26:15Shall I stand the Herzig team down?
0:26:15 > 0:26:18- She's not squeezing.- Seriously, that's your main priority?
0:26:18 > 0:26:21Well, if it is TIA then she'll survive
0:26:21 > 0:26:24- and the Herzig will give her another chance.- Tell me, what did you miss?
0:26:24 > 0:26:26It's not her fault, I took over.
0:26:26 > 0:26:27Why, what distracted you?
0:26:29 > 0:26:31I don't know, I just don't...
0:26:31 > 0:26:34Miss Naylor, take a look at the obs. Nothing flagged this.
0:26:34 > 0:26:36- I was dealing with her. - Don't defend me.- Look, I...
0:26:36 > 0:26:38I said, don't defend me!
0:26:38 > 0:26:40Right let's keep regular obs,
0:26:40 > 0:26:43get a neuro consult to establish if it's just a TIA.
0:26:43 > 0:26:45I'll leave you to deal with the creche.
0:26:48 > 0:26:52OK, let's find the step-daughter, tell her what's happened.
0:26:52 > 0:26:54Where's the Herzig consent form?
0:26:55 > 0:26:59- I don't know.- I got verbal consent. I was waiting for the...
0:26:59 > 0:27:02Guys, we can't do experimental surgery on a nod and a wink.
0:27:09 > 0:27:12He's not lying, he is really scared.
0:27:12 > 0:27:14Of course he is. He's phobic. But what you going to do?
0:27:14 > 0:27:15Hold his hand all day?
0:27:15 > 0:27:18Look, he must have had a needle put in him before.
0:27:18 > 0:27:20I'm just taking it one step at a time.
0:27:20 > 0:27:22Yeah, and while you're doing that,
0:27:22 > 0:27:24Mary-Claire's getting her claws into your man.
0:27:24 > 0:27:26She wouldn't do that.
0:27:26 > 0:27:29Come on, Channers, you need to get with the programme, you're too nice.
0:27:29 > 0:27:31- You need to grow a pair. - I'm just trying to help.- Listen.
0:27:31 > 0:27:35Stop pussy-footing round everyone. Especially that patient.
0:27:35 > 0:27:37You can do better than that.
0:27:39 > 0:27:42Look, we're going to have to take her at her word.
0:27:42 > 0:27:45Don't tell me you believed her when she said she never saw that fireman?
0:27:45 > 0:27:47Did you see the way she looked at that picture?
0:27:47 > 0:27:49- Those are her kids. - Yeah, maybe, but...
0:27:49 > 0:27:51What if something happened to them?
0:27:51 > 0:27:54- Hold on a second.- Maybe that's why she's on the streets?
0:27:54 > 0:27:56Ramona, stop.
0:27:56 > 0:27:58We can't just leave it!
0:27:58 > 0:28:01I mean she's obviously distressed. Something's going on.
0:28:01 > 0:28:04If she's lost her family.
0:28:04 > 0:28:05It's nearly Christmas.
0:28:05 > 0:28:08And if she's bereaved, she needs help.
0:28:08 > 0:28:10Yes, but if she refuses,
0:28:10 > 0:28:12and you try to force the issue you could make things worse.
0:28:12 > 0:28:13Look, don't get me wrong,
0:28:13 > 0:28:17I think it's great you want to get involved and that you care, but...
0:28:17 > 0:28:19But what? Don't care too much?
0:28:19 > 0:28:20Excuse me.
0:28:20 > 0:28:23Mrs Cousins wants to see us in five. Inspection conclusions.
0:28:23 > 0:28:27- Tell her I'm busy.- Tell her yourself. I'm not your errand boy.
0:28:29 > 0:28:30Call the lab.
0:28:30 > 0:28:33Tell them to test for her CPK isoenzymes, urine creatinine
0:28:33 > 0:28:35and serum creatinine.
0:28:35 > 0:28:37Now, if they come back with nothing and she stays as is,
0:28:37 > 0:28:39I'm going to have to let her go.
0:28:41 > 0:28:42Why's it up to me?
0:28:42 > 0:28:46It's a formality to make sure we're acting in her best interests.
0:28:46 > 0:28:47I'm not legally responsible for her.
0:28:47 > 0:28:50Just think of it as verifying her wishes.
0:28:50 > 0:28:52Covering your backsides, you mean?
0:28:52 > 0:28:54I know the procedure's experimental,
0:28:54 > 0:28:56but, it will potentially give her another six months.
0:28:56 > 0:28:57She was keen to be involved.
0:28:57 > 0:29:00- Why?- She wanted to help others.- Ha!
0:29:00 > 0:29:02Now I know you're not being straight with me.
0:29:05 > 0:29:09I'm not stupid. I can tell there's something not right here.
0:29:11 > 0:29:14It's an extraordinary device.
0:29:14 > 0:29:15It's too out of the blue.
0:29:16 > 0:29:19Professor Hope's been developing it for years.
0:29:19 > 0:29:21Has it worked on other people?
0:29:23 > 0:29:26- Some, yes.- But others?
0:29:26 > 0:29:28That patient's death was unrelated.
0:29:32 > 0:29:34I'm sorry.
0:29:34 > 0:29:36Ask her when she wakes up.
0:29:36 > 0:29:39We would, but time is of the essence.
0:29:39 > 0:29:43- Look, if we don't operate now... - I can't. I can't speak for her.
0:29:52 > 0:29:55I'm sorry about before. I didn't mean to push you.
0:29:55 > 0:29:59But wherever you're going, you'll need a new set of clothes
0:29:59 > 0:30:02and we've got more left luggage here then we can handle.
0:30:02 > 0:30:04Think I've got the size right.
0:30:04 > 0:30:05No strings attached.
0:30:12 > 0:30:17Look, I'm sure you know what you're doing, but, just in case,
0:30:17 > 0:30:20I know a really good shelter. I could give them a ring.
0:30:21 > 0:30:25It's so cold. At least you'll get a bed,
0:30:25 > 0:30:28food, somewhere to go to.
0:30:28 > 0:30:31Thank you, but I'm OK as I am.
0:30:31 > 0:30:37I know it seems crazy to you but it's right like this.
0:30:37 > 0:30:38This is how it should be.
0:30:40 > 0:30:42What happened? To your family?
0:30:45 > 0:30:47I'm sorry but I can't not say anything.
0:30:47 > 0:30:50I've seen the way you looked at that picture.
0:30:50 > 0:30:53I know if something happened to my kids, I'd go crazy.
0:30:53 > 0:30:55What are you talking about?
0:30:55 > 0:30:56Nothing happened to them.
0:30:56 > 0:30:58They're still around?
0:30:58 > 0:31:00I know you're trying to help.
0:31:00 > 0:31:03But you're not.
0:31:03 > 0:31:08So for the last time, just stay out of my business.
0:31:14 > 0:31:17This is good, this. Was this your idea?
0:31:17 > 0:31:22No, Charmaine's, in maternity. She gave me a plan of action.
0:31:22 > 0:31:24So, I'm worse than a woman in labour.
0:31:24 > 0:31:26Just take a nice deep breath.
0:31:30 > 0:31:32Oh, boy, that is a beautiful thing.
0:31:36 > 0:31:40This is going to do the trick, definitely. I can feel it.
0:31:40 > 0:31:43I'm so relaxed.
0:31:43 > 0:31:49Brilliant. OK, so just look at me. So, why was six sad?
0:31:49 > 0:31:51Don't know. Why?
0:31:51 > 0:31:53Because seven, eight, nine!
0:31:53 > 0:31:56- Genius!- Isn't it?!
0:31:56 > 0:32:00No! No, no, no, no, don't. Don't. No.
0:32:00 > 0:32:01Please, don't do that!
0:32:03 > 0:32:05I am the patient from hell.
0:32:11 > 0:32:15So, I think the important thing is to keep the flow of movement
0:32:15 > 0:32:17from there through here.
0:32:17 > 0:32:19That brings me to security. Mr Spence...
0:32:24 > 0:32:26Well, I think we should proceed.
0:32:26 > 0:32:28Well, Professor Hope will agree with me
0:32:28 > 0:32:30as would every medico-legal mind on the planet.
0:32:30 > 0:32:33- Well, we'll ask him and see. - No, this is nuts.
0:32:33 > 0:32:36The suits are already sniffing around the project enough as it is.
0:32:36 > 0:32:37Whose side are you on?
0:32:37 > 0:32:39Yours.
0:32:39 > 0:32:43Now look, I don't know what the hell's going on here,
0:32:43 > 0:32:44but get a grip.
0:33:20 > 0:33:21They're better off without me.
0:33:21 > 0:33:24No, they're not. Look. Look at this.
0:33:24 > 0:33:28"Gracie, whatever happened, please come home.
0:33:28 > 0:33:29"We are so worried about you."
0:33:29 > 0:33:31Stop it. All right?
0:33:31 > 0:33:33I don't care, OK?
0:33:33 > 0:33:35You do. You miss them, I know you do.
0:33:35 > 0:33:38Listen, whatever it is you're running away from,
0:33:38 > 0:33:39it can't be that bad.
0:33:39 > 0:33:41Really? Do you think so?
0:33:43 > 0:33:46I was the one they depended on for everything
0:33:46 > 0:33:48and I was the one that lost it...
0:33:48 > 0:33:49all.
0:33:51 > 0:33:53Everything we had.
0:33:53 > 0:33:56Down the drain.
0:33:56 > 0:33:58I got us into so much debt.
0:33:58 > 0:34:01But they must be going through hell worrying about you.
0:34:02 > 0:34:05Have you told anyone about this? Who else have you told?
0:34:05 > 0:34:08- No, no-one.- I have to get out of here.- No, no. Grace. No, please.
0:34:08 > 0:34:10- Calm down.- Do not say that name.
0:34:10 > 0:34:13- Stay away from me.- Please. - Get off me.
0:34:13 > 0:34:19- Please. No, no, no.- Go. Back off. - Please, Grace, calm down.- No.
0:34:19 > 0:34:21Argh!
0:34:21 > 0:34:24- What happened?- Her leg.
0:34:24 > 0:34:27Is she going to need a lot of looking after?
0:34:27 > 0:34:30She'll probably need specialist assistance.
0:34:30 > 0:34:33That's Dad's house sold then.
0:34:33 > 0:34:36I can feel his beady eye from here.
0:34:36 > 0:34:39Sorry, kids, there go the tuition fees!
0:34:42 > 0:34:45How can this happen? Just like that?
0:34:46 > 0:34:48She was very weak.
0:34:48 > 0:34:50She was never weak. Never.
0:34:52 > 0:34:53I'm sorry.
0:34:55 > 0:34:59I thought she'd drag it out for years. Just to torment me.
0:35:00 > 0:35:04Right, shall I ask a nurse to come and sit with you?
0:35:04 > 0:35:07She tried a couple of times.
0:35:07 > 0:35:09To build bridges over the years.
0:35:09 > 0:35:12Well, you weren't obliged to have a reconciliation.
0:35:12 > 0:35:15I did want to. Later on.
0:35:15 > 0:35:17But on my terms.
0:35:17 > 0:35:20When she couldn't make me feel stupid.
0:35:20 > 0:35:23I'm sorry you feel like you've missed a chance.
0:35:28 > 0:35:30Is that it?
0:35:30 > 0:35:33You're just going to give up on her?
0:35:33 > 0:35:36Well, what about this machine? Could it still give her six months?
0:35:36 > 0:35:38Yeah, in theory.
0:35:40 > 0:35:43This is you! This is your fault.
0:35:43 > 0:35:46Why couldn't you just leave me alone?
0:35:46 > 0:35:49I'm sorry. I didn't do anything, I swear.
0:35:49 > 0:35:50What happened here?
0:35:50 > 0:35:52- Nothing, nothing.- This is her fault.
0:35:52 > 0:35:53I thought I told you to stay away from her.
0:35:53 > 0:35:56I was trying to talk to her.
0:35:56 > 0:35:59We need some porters here! Leg's ischemic. It's got no pulse.
0:35:59 > 0:36:03Looks like compartment syndrome. We need to get her into theatre now.
0:36:03 > 0:36:09Done that, done that, that's no good.
0:36:09 > 0:36:10Ah-ha! Are you trying to find
0:36:10 > 0:36:13a miracle cure for your man over there?
0:36:13 > 0:36:14How did you know?
0:36:14 > 0:36:16Linda in the ED told me.
0:36:16 > 0:36:18Apparently he completely freaked down there.
0:36:18 > 0:36:21Why do you think they sent him our way?
0:36:21 > 0:36:24Anyway, I'm really sorry I'm late, I completely lost track of time.
0:36:24 > 0:36:28Did you know that Rhys's auntie lives in Ballymena?
0:36:28 > 0:36:30So does my dad.
0:36:30 > 0:36:32He's so easy to talk to.
0:36:32 > 0:36:34Honestly, you'd never think he was a consultant.
0:36:34 > 0:36:36Am I getting my patient or not?
0:36:36 > 0:36:39Told you she'd still be at it. Honestly, she's too soft, she is.
0:36:39 > 0:36:42If it was me I'd have him in the old bed restraints by now.
0:36:42 > 0:36:43I bet you would.
0:36:43 > 0:36:46I'm getting there. It's all under control.
0:36:46 > 0:36:49Excellent. Well, any time before Christmas would be good.
0:36:54 > 0:36:58No. Without a yes from next of kin, we're on thin ice.
0:36:58 > 0:37:00So we sling her out at Christmas to a care home?
0:37:00 > 0:37:03Oliver, why are you really pressing for this?
0:37:03 > 0:37:05- She deserves better.- A patient you've known, what, half a day?
0:37:05 > 0:37:08She's a good person with no-one to advocate for her.
0:37:08 > 0:37:09- So you'll fight her fight. - Well, yes.
0:37:09 > 0:37:12Look, one of the things you learn as you get older is...
0:37:12 > 0:37:14How to give up at the first hurdle.
0:37:14 > 0:37:16I'll choose to ignore that.
0:37:17 > 0:37:22One of the things you learn is when not to offer solutions.
0:37:22 > 0:37:26Extreme intervention isn't always the answer.
0:37:26 > 0:37:27Professor Hope, I know that but...
0:37:27 > 0:37:32But nothing. Look, technically the Herzig will work.
0:37:32 > 0:37:35But sometimes you just have to accept that things go off-piste
0:37:35 > 0:37:38- and you can't fight it. - We are so close. Please!
0:37:38 > 0:37:41Dr Valentine, no-one wants this operation to go ahead
0:37:41 > 0:37:45more than I do. But without clear consent our hands are tied.
0:37:45 > 0:37:48- Professor Hope.- Yes. This conversation is over.- Fine.
0:37:48 > 0:37:51Jacqui wants us to try for the Herzig.
0:37:51 > 0:37:52We might still have a chance.
0:37:52 > 0:37:54I know what you're thinking.
0:37:54 > 0:37:57but let's just wait to find out what actually happened.
0:37:57 > 0:38:00It's your party, Michael. Making the cut.
0:38:04 > 0:38:06Harvesting the vein.
0:38:07 > 0:38:09This patient was very unstable all along.
0:38:09 > 0:38:13All the more reason not to let an HCA deal with her on her own.
0:38:13 > 0:38:15Mrs Cousins.
0:38:15 > 0:38:18I'm so sorry, I know you're in the middle here
0:38:18 > 0:38:21but I'm extremely troubled by what I just saw.
0:38:21 > 0:38:23Oh, don't let it trouble you.
0:38:23 > 0:38:27These misunderstandings are par for the course.
0:38:27 > 0:38:29It looked worse than it was.
0:38:29 > 0:38:33So, that's what your HCA was apologising for? A misunderstanding?
0:38:33 > 0:38:36You know, here's an idea. Why don't we wait and do this later?
0:38:36 > 0:38:40Maybe after we've saved this patient's leg?
0:38:40 > 0:38:41Bypassing the thrombus.
0:38:41 > 0:38:422-0 Prolene.
0:38:43 > 0:38:47Really, we're talking training and development issues.
0:38:47 > 0:38:49We'll deal with it later.
0:38:49 > 0:38:51So, something did happen.
0:38:51 > 0:38:54All right, Imelda, why don't you just lay off?
0:38:54 > 0:38:56Now, you employ us to do a job and we know what we're doing
0:38:56 > 0:39:00so maybe you could just bear with us and let us get on with it.
0:39:02 > 0:39:04I'll get back to you on that one.
0:39:06 > 0:39:11Oh, Michael. Ever heard of the beauty of the unexpressed thought?
0:39:11 > 0:39:13She'll never let it go now.
0:39:16 > 0:39:19OK, let's just go for a practice.
0:39:19 > 0:39:20OK.
0:39:20 > 0:39:24Now, remember what we were talking about? Chocolate mousse.
0:39:24 > 0:39:28OK. 600 grams of at least 70% cocoa solid.
0:39:28 > 0:39:32- You're not doing anything yet, are you?- No.
0:39:32 > 0:39:36Right. I'm off. Heading down to Albie's for that drink.
0:39:36 > 0:39:37What drink?
0:39:37 > 0:39:41Oh, did Rhys not mention it? He said he'd tell you and Malick.
0:39:41 > 0:39:44But anyway, Malick's stuck in theatre so...
0:39:44 > 0:39:46Well, you go ahead then.
0:39:46 > 0:39:47I'll save you a seat.
0:39:52 > 0:39:56Let's just call it a day, I mean, really you did your best.
0:39:56 > 0:39:58And give up now? No way.
0:39:58 > 0:39:59Come on, as you were.
0:40:01 > 0:40:03But this is just a trial run, yeah?
0:40:03 > 0:40:06- You'll tell me when you're actually going to do it?- Of course. Carry on.
0:40:06 > 0:40:08The chocolate.
0:40:08 > 0:40:12Yeah, you put it in a bowl.
0:40:12 > 0:40:14Then you put it on a low heat
0:40:14 > 0:40:18and you stir constantly to ensure that it melts and then you...
0:40:18 > 0:40:20Aargh!
0:40:20 > 0:40:24- Got you.- You tricked me. I can't believe you've actually tricked me.
0:40:24 > 0:40:27I know! And guess what?
0:40:27 > 0:40:29In ten seconds you won't feel a thing!
0:40:38 > 0:40:39She looks terrible.
0:40:41 > 0:40:44It must be a bit of a shock for you.
0:40:44 > 0:40:45Can someone do her hair?
0:40:45 > 0:40:47Yeah, we can get that done.
0:40:48 > 0:40:50Kathleen, it's Jacqui. Can you hear me?
0:40:53 > 0:40:56Kathleen, it's...it's the rat bag.
0:40:59 > 0:41:03Don't try and talk now. Maybe if you hold her hand?
0:41:07 > 0:41:10Mrs Pennington, I'm Dr Tara Lo. You're in hospital.
0:41:12 > 0:41:14Squeeze my hand if you can hear me.
0:41:15 > 0:41:17Are you happy for Jacqui to sit with you?
0:41:29 > 0:41:31Can you hear me, Kath?
0:41:34 > 0:41:38You've had a little stroke but don't be scared.
0:41:38 > 0:41:41She likes plain speaking. Don't you?
0:41:41 > 0:41:44I bet they think I'm being horrible.
0:41:44 > 0:41:47Am I horrible?
0:41:47 > 0:41:48I'll take that as a yes.
0:41:50 > 0:41:53Good job the nurses are brilliant, eh? And, yeah,
0:41:53 > 0:41:55your hair looks OK too.
0:41:55 > 0:41:57You're not dribbling neither.
0:41:59 > 0:42:01We're going to get you speech therapy.
0:42:01 > 0:42:03We're hoping this is just temporary.
0:42:03 > 0:42:06I'm going to sell the house so you can go into a home, OK?
0:42:08 > 0:42:10Squeeze if you like that, love.
0:42:14 > 0:42:16That's that, then.
0:42:19 > 0:42:21The Herzig?
0:42:21 > 0:42:25Oh, yeah, do you want to stay here and have the robot operation?
0:42:25 > 0:42:27Did they talk you into it?
0:42:30 > 0:42:32Can you hear me? Ow.
0:42:32 > 0:42:34Is that a yes?
0:42:35 > 0:42:37Oh, I'm confused now.
0:42:37 > 0:42:41One for the op, two for coming to mine.
0:42:52 > 0:42:54You want to come to mine?
0:42:57 > 0:42:58For Christmas?
0:42:58 > 0:43:01The kids'll look after you.
0:43:04 > 0:43:05One for yes.
0:43:12 > 0:43:13OK, fine.
0:43:15 > 0:43:16Do you want turkey or beef?
0:43:19 > 0:43:20I like turkey.
0:43:20 > 0:43:23We had beef last year.
0:43:23 > 0:43:26- What do you care?- Tara. - I'm going to have to mush it up.
0:43:28 > 0:43:29Look...
0:43:40 > 0:43:41Look, I know you meant well.
0:43:41 > 0:43:42I'm sorry.
0:43:45 > 0:43:47Go on, take a break.
0:43:52 > 0:43:55Now, I like to speak as I find.
0:43:55 > 0:43:58I might be wrong but you strike me as very similar.
0:43:59 > 0:44:02Good member of staff is she, Miss Gomez?
0:44:02 > 0:44:03Yes.
0:44:03 > 0:44:07Hard working? Conscientious? Trustworthy?
0:44:07 > 0:44:10You see, I walk into a scene of utter pandemonium and neither
0:44:10 > 0:44:13Mr Spence nor Miss Campbell are willing to shed light on it.
0:44:14 > 0:44:17Now, I'm not as dim-witted as some may hope.
0:44:17 > 0:44:20I can sense something has gone on here today
0:44:20 > 0:44:24and I bet I know who's going to be left to field the flack.
0:44:24 > 0:44:29- Look...- I've been in your shoes many times when physicians closed ranks
0:44:29 > 0:44:33and pinned their own inappropriate management on,
0:44:33 > 0:44:35"Lack of appropriate nursing care."
0:44:37 > 0:44:42And make no mistake, I will go through every file of every patient
0:44:42 > 0:44:46and if something has happened, I will get to the bottom of it.
0:44:49 > 0:44:51It wasn't Miss Gomez's fault. It was just
0:44:51 > 0:44:54an unfortunate chain of events.
0:44:54 > 0:44:56And I have made my feelings known.
0:44:57 > 0:44:58Go on.
0:45:00 > 0:45:02Nearly there! You're being so brave.
0:45:02 > 0:45:05I...I just can't believe it.
0:45:05 > 0:45:07Neither can I.
0:45:07 > 0:45:10Tell me I'm not hallucinating.
0:45:10 > 0:45:14She just went for it. Just like that.
0:45:14 > 0:45:17- Were you imagining he was someone else?- Who?
0:45:17 > 0:45:20Never mind. So where is Tweedledee?
0:45:20 > 0:45:22She's gone for a drink with Rhys.
0:45:22 > 0:45:27Which we were both invited to, apparently. Who cares?
0:45:28 > 0:45:30Well, someone clearly does.
0:45:36 > 0:45:38Go on. I'll finish off here.
0:45:41 > 0:45:44See, you do have it in you after all.
0:45:48 > 0:45:51Hiya. Sorry, I completely forgot to ask you earlier...
0:45:51 > 0:45:55Are you taking me to the New Year's Eve party or not?
0:45:55 > 0:45:58Well, who else would I be taking? You're my girlfriend.
0:46:01 > 0:46:04Oh, OK.
0:46:06 > 0:46:07Give me five minutes.
0:46:09 > 0:46:12Sorry, mate. She's taken.
0:46:12 > 0:46:15What?
0:46:15 > 0:46:19Oh, man. You got it all wrong,
0:46:19 > 0:46:22I bat for the other team.
0:46:24 > 0:46:26Right, social services will be down
0:46:26 > 0:46:27to talk you through the care programme.
0:46:27 > 0:46:29What've I let myself in for?
0:46:29 > 0:46:32You can always change your mind if it becomes too difficult.
0:46:32 > 0:46:35I'll make the kids do it. They actually like her.
0:46:36 > 0:46:38I swore I'd get my own back.
0:46:38 > 0:46:42Years she'd been treating me like muck. Just blew my last chance.
0:46:42 > 0:46:44- Idiot.- Well, it's good you reached a reconciliation.
0:46:44 > 0:46:47Gave in to the bullying old moo, more like.
0:46:49 > 0:46:53Cheer up. Some people would see this as a positive outcome.
0:46:53 > 0:46:55It's just a shame for Tara.
0:46:55 > 0:46:57Sticky patch?
0:46:57 > 0:46:58Oh, is it that obvious?
0:46:58 > 0:47:00Only to colleagues...and patients.
0:47:01 > 0:47:04Look, if you want to talk about it,
0:47:04 > 0:47:08I'm happy to look evasive and change the subject.
0:47:10 > 0:47:11You know what I'd do?
0:47:13 > 0:47:14I'd show her what she's missing.
0:47:17 > 0:47:19Can you come to Albie's with me?
0:47:19 > 0:47:22I'm a bit like Billy-no-mates down there.
0:47:25 > 0:47:26Thank you.
0:47:26 > 0:47:28Ah, well, there we go.
0:47:28 > 0:47:31The lab urine results clearly indicate rhabdomyolysis
0:47:31 > 0:47:33consistent with compartment syndrome, so
0:47:33 > 0:47:35she was injured in the fire.
0:47:35 > 0:47:36She didn't complain of any pains?
0:47:36 > 0:47:39She was desperate to get out of here. Is this Groundhog Day?
0:47:39 > 0:47:43Mrs Cousins, you'll be happy to know that we managed to save the leg.
0:47:43 > 0:47:44Well done.
0:47:45 > 0:47:49So, I've looked into the matter. I'm afraid to say my hands are tied.
0:47:49 > 0:47:51Tied? What do you mean?
0:47:51 > 0:47:53There's no way I could be seen to overlook such a gross
0:47:53 > 0:47:55breach of procedure. I mean,
0:47:55 > 0:47:58a health care assistant attempting intubation on her own?
0:47:58 > 0:48:01Especially as there's a, well,
0:48:01 > 0:48:04personal relationship in the mix.
0:48:04 > 0:48:07Unfortunately we have to suspend Miss Gomez
0:48:07 > 0:48:10pending a formal disciplinary meeting.
0:48:10 > 0:48:13- That's a bit over the top.- That is ridiculous! No-one was injured.
0:48:13 > 0:48:16Yes, we got lucky today but can you imagine this information
0:48:16 > 0:48:18in the wrong hands at the wrong time?
0:48:18 > 0:48:21Bull. It's got nothing to do with that.
0:48:21 > 0:48:23Are you trying to get at me?
0:48:23 > 0:48:25I'm sorry to break this to you, Mr Spence,
0:48:25 > 0:48:29but last I heard, the world does not revolve around you.
0:48:29 > 0:48:34Anyway. No more micromanaging. As you said, it's your ward.
0:48:34 > 0:48:36So I'll leave you to break the news.
0:48:41 > 0:48:43Is that not a bit OTT?
0:48:45 > 0:48:50You can't shred those, they include my precious handwritten musings.
0:48:50 > 0:48:54Stop being pathetic. You don't ditch something after the first set back.
0:48:54 > 0:48:56You wait it out and get revenge.
0:48:56 > 0:48:58I don't want to wait.
0:48:58 > 0:49:02- Stop being a cry-baby. - Give her a break.
0:49:02 > 0:49:07Listen, a piece of friendly advice.
0:49:07 > 0:49:10Mary-Claire's taken Ollie for a drink
0:49:10 > 0:49:12and I think we all know what that means.
0:49:23 > 0:49:24You're an idiot.
0:49:28 > 0:49:31We'll fight this, take it to the union, tell them I put her up to it.
0:49:31 > 0:49:33Then Cousins will really start playing dirty
0:49:33 > 0:49:36and when she's finished with Miss Gomez there won't be
0:49:36 > 0:49:38a hospital left in the country that'll hire her.
0:49:38 > 0:49:42I've got three kids and it's Christmas.
0:49:42 > 0:49:46I think the only way to salvage this is to turn it on its head.
0:49:46 > 0:49:47Resign.
0:49:47 > 0:49:50Are you kidding me? No. We're going to fight this.
0:49:50 > 0:49:52Cousins doesn't scare me.
0:49:52 > 0:49:56Have you learnt nothing today? This isn't about you.
0:49:56 > 0:49:57Look, for what it's worth,
0:49:57 > 0:50:00I'll put out a few feelers, see if there are any vacancies coming up.
0:50:00 > 0:50:02This is all wrong.
0:50:02 > 0:50:06Someone has to stop that poisonous witch from wrecking this place.
0:50:06 > 0:50:10And today's just the cherry on the top after suspending Ric.
0:50:10 > 0:50:13No, she is a complete disaster.
0:50:13 > 0:50:17Someone will have to stop her. But it won't be you, Michael.
0:50:19 > 0:50:21I thought this was your ward.
0:50:27 > 0:50:30- Will you punch him for me? - Oh, absolutely.
0:50:31 > 0:50:33What's going on?
0:50:34 > 0:50:36Oh, we're just chatting.
0:50:36 > 0:50:39- Are you talking about me?- No.
0:50:39 > 0:50:42Come on, guys. Look it's just a beer. I mean, you can come too.
0:50:42 > 0:50:45- You are such a coward. - Have you completely lost it?
0:50:45 > 0:50:47So you just run off at the next available opportunity?
0:50:47 > 0:50:50Now you're being childish.
0:50:50 > 0:50:55- What the hell was that for? - Everything! Go on, all yours.
0:50:55 > 0:50:56Are you insane?
0:50:56 > 0:50:59- Apparently.- What's wrong with...?
0:51:01 > 0:51:04I'm sorry. It was a tough day.
0:51:09 > 0:51:13I feel Darwin is facing too many challenges at the moment.
0:51:13 > 0:51:17I'd like a moratorium on all your activities that are putting
0:51:17 > 0:51:19an extra strain on resources.
0:51:19 > 0:51:23Mrs Cousins, I've been working for years on the Herzig project.
0:51:23 > 0:51:26I'll leave you to explain it to your patient.
0:51:26 > 0:51:28And as I said earlier,
0:51:28 > 0:51:32I really do need that list about personal relationships on your ward.
0:52:00 > 0:52:04I just want to say one thing to you and then I'm going, OK?
0:52:04 > 0:52:08That family will be together this Christmas because of you.
0:52:08 > 0:52:11So maybe you're not such a bad person after all.
0:52:11 > 0:52:12You think so?
0:52:12 > 0:52:14And maybe it's time to forgive yourself
0:52:14 > 0:52:17and let others take care of you for a while.
0:52:18 > 0:52:21Please. Let me call them for you.
0:52:22 > 0:52:25Don't be wet, sack one of them.
0:52:25 > 0:52:27No-one is going to get sacked.
0:52:27 > 0:52:30One of you needs to do the decent thing and quit.
0:52:30 > 0:52:33You've completely humiliated us as a ward and much worse scuppered my
0:52:33 > 0:52:38chances of getting another research project off the ground this century.
0:52:43 > 0:52:47It's my fault. I'll take a break.
0:52:47 > 0:52:48No.
0:52:50 > 0:52:55Right. You have two minutes to sort this out.
0:52:55 > 0:52:57Use them wisely.
0:52:59 > 0:53:03That's OK. That's all right, Mr Banville.
0:53:03 > 0:53:05Yes, yes, she is OK. Yeah.
0:53:08 > 0:53:09No, no, I won't be here,
0:53:09 > 0:53:14just ask for Sister Williams, OK, I'll let her know.
0:53:14 > 0:53:16Yes. OK, bye. Happy Christmas!
0:53:20 > 0:53:23Wow. She let you call them? That's amazing.
0:53:24 > 0:53:27Hey, Ramona. Ramona, wait up.
0:53:27 > 0:53:28Hey, Hey.
0:53:29 > 0:53:33Look, it's going to be OK. Yeah? I can help, I'll fix this.
0:53:33 > 0:53:35Don't you dare.
0:53:35 > 0:53:37I was happy the way I was.
0:53:37 > 0:53:39But it wasn't enough for you.
0:53:39 > 0:53:40No, I swear, I was just trying...
0:53:40 > 0:53:42Face it. It was never going to work.
0:53:44 > 0:53:47What, you're leaving me?
0:53:49 > 0:53:50What about the presents?
0:53:52 > 0:53:54Happy Christmas, Michael.
0:54:04 > 0:54:06I knew this was going to happen. I knew it.
0:54:06 > 0:54:08It would all be a complete mess.
0:54:09 > 0:54:12Really? Does the tumour make you psychic?
0:54:14 > 0:54:15Sorry.
0:54:15 > 0:54:19No, it's fine. Jokes are totally appropriate right now.
0:54:20 > 0:54:22I just don't know how to handle this.
0:54:23 > 0:54:26- Just forget about it.- How can I?
0:54:26 > 0:54:28Because I'm asking you to.
0:54:29 > 0:54:32I just don't think I can...
0:54:34 > 0:54:37..go through something like this. I'm sorry.
0:54:37 > 0:54:38I'm pathetic.
0:54:40 > 0:54:42Ignore me. I didn't sleep on the plane.
0:54:46 > 0:54:49This is no-one's fault.
0:54:49 > 0:54:50I should be able to handle this.
0:54:50 > 0:54:54No-one knows how to handle this. Not me, not my parents. No-one.
0:55:02 > 0:55:04So what do I do?
0:55:04 > 0:55:05Just accept it.
0:55:05 > 0:55:07I have accepted it.
0:55:07 > 0:55:09No, you haven't. I can see your mind whirring.
0:55:09 > 0:55:10It's not whirring.
0:55:15 > 0:55:17I've just run out of ideas.
0:55:17 > 0:55:19Then handle it my way.
0:55:20 > 0:55:21What, ignore it?
0:55:21 > 0:55:26No. Not exactly but you can't out-think it.
0:55:26 > 0:55:27I know, I've tried.
0:55:28 > 0:55:29OK.
0:55:32 > 0:55:34OK. I'll try to.
0:55:34 > 0:55:36That's the best I can do.
0:55:37 > 0:55:39Well, then it will all be OK.
0:55:55 > 0:55:57I didn't think you'd still be here.
0:55:57 > 0:56:01Miss Campbell, have a seat. I'll give you a drink.
0:56:01 > 0:56:04Yeah, I think maybe you've had enough.
0:56:04 > 0:56:06Go home, Michael.
0:56:08 > 0:56:10Well, where's that, exactly?
0:56:14 > 0:56:16I love these things.
0:56:16 > 0:56:18- You have kids?- Yeah, one.
0:56:18 > 0:56:22We work together every day and I don't know a damn thing about you.
0:56:22 > 0:56:25Come on, have a shot. I dare you.
0:56:26 > 0:56:28You'll thank me in the morning.
0:56:30 > 0:56:32No, I won't.
