0:00:40 > 0:00:43- Just got an email from my ex - Christmas is cancelled.- Why?

0:00:43 > 0:00:46Well, what's a father compared to a friend with a ski lodge?

0:00:46 > 0:00:49- Welcome.- Pretty girls usually avoid me like the plague.

0:00:49 > 0:00:51I know I'm not much of a babe magnet.

0:00:51 > 0:00:53What...what is this?

0:00:53 > 0:00:56My brain, or to be more specific, my brain tumour.

0:00:56 > 0:00:58So now you know.

0:00:58 > 0:01:00I should be able to handle this.

0:01:00 > 0:01:04No-one knows how to handle this, not me, not my parents.

0:01:04 > 0:01:06- Pulse rate's 120, SATS at 98%. - BABY CRIES

0:01:06 > 0:01:08Does he have to be strapped down like that?

0:01:08 > 0:01:10- It's just a precaution. - In case of what?

0:01:10 > 0:01:12- Neck damage.- Oh, God.

0:01:12 > 0:01:14We'll give him a full body X-ray, make sure everything's fine.

0:01:14 > 0:01:17Give him something to stop him crying. He's in pain.

0:01:17 > 0:01:19- We will.- It's all right, darling. Mummy's here.

0:01:19 > 0:01:22Well, Jasmine I don't care what Mother says, we both have the

0:01:22 > 0:01:26power of veto when it comes to your evening wear, and that dress is out.

0:01:27 > 0:01:30OK, well, you do realise that a dress is something that is

0:01:30 > 0:01:33supposed to cover your body, right?

0:01:33 > 0:01:37Oh, well, as long as Brad said you looked awesome then it's OK...

0:01:37 > 0:01:39Wait a minute, wait, who is Brad? Jasmine?

0:01:42 > 0:01:44RTC en route from the ED.

0:01:44 > 0:01:45Patient?

0:01:45 > 0:01:47Two-year-old boy.

0:01:47 > 0:01:48What about Paeds?

0:01:48 > 0:01:50Well, I've paged them, they're overrun.

0:01:50 > 0:01:53So I said given your Paeds experience, we'd handle it.

0:01:53 > 0:01:56Great. All right, come on. Let's do it.

0:01:56 > 0:01:58- Are you the parents?- Yeah.

0:01:58 > 0:02:01I'm Mr Spence, this is Dr Levy. We'll take good care of him.

0:02:01 > 0:02:04- I've given him 120 mgs paracetamol. - His B/P, SATS, everything is normal.

0:02:04 > 0:02:07- OK, stop. - How fast were you travelling?

0:02:07 > 0:02:08- About 35.- Was he in a car seat?

0:02:08 > 0:02:10Of course he was in a car seat.

0:02:10 > 0:02:13It's nothing personal, they have to ask.

0:02:13 > 0:02:14So how did it happen?

0:02:14 > 0:02:18Fox ran out into the road. Shot right in front of me. Pests.

0:02:18 > 0:02:19All right, hold still.

0:02:19 > 0:02:21HE MOANS

0:02:21 > 0:02:23PHONE RINGS Yep, it's OK.

0:02:23 > 0:02:25Right, let's take a look at you in the side room.

0:02:25 > 0:02:27I'm just bruised from the seatbelt. I'm OK.

0:02:27 > 0:02:29We won't know that without an X-ray.

0:02:29 > 0:02:31Don't worry about me, just treat him.

0:02:31 > 0:02:32There's no sign of internal bleeding,

0:02:32 > 0:02:34and his pupil reflex is good.

0:02:34 > 0:02:36But I want to get him down to radiology.

0:02:36 > 0:02:38- I want to go with him.- No problem.

0:02:43 > 0:02:45Come on, it'll be fun.

0:02:45 > 0:02:48I'm not sure I'm up for a night of misery and despair.

0:02:48 > 0:02:51Not all of his songs are depressing.

0:02:51 > 0:02:55They're...you know...truthful.

0:02:55 > 0:02:58Why didn't you just tell me you'd booked tickets?

0:02:58 > 0:02:59I did.

0:02:59 > 0:03:01When?

0:03:01 > 0:03:05I'm sure I did. I thought you liked Leonard Cohen anyway.

0:03:05 > 0:03:08Ollie, we have been out four nights already this week

0:03:08 > 0:03:11and in case you hadn't noticed I have got so much to do.

0:03:11 > 0:03:14My research project, the F1 prize, assessments...

0:03:14 > 0:03:15Just tonight.

0:03:15 > 0:03:18I promise you, I will leave you alone for the rest of the week.

0:03:18 > 0:03:20HE GARGLES

0:03:25 > 0:03:29I have never known a man to take so long in the bathroom.

0:03:29 > 0:03:30Sorry.

0:03:33 > 0:03:34Oh. Well?

0:03:35 > 0:03:37- Fine.- Good.

0:03:37 > 0:03:40Oh, Ollie, you left this.

0:03:40 > 0:03:41Sorry. Force of habit.

0:03:48 > 0:03:53- Mummy.- Right, you won't be able to go any further than this.

0:03:53 > 0:03:55- Mummy. - Right, how long's it going to take?

0:03:55 > 0:03:58- About ten minutes to get everything we need.- Mummy.

0:03:58 > 0:04:00Is there somewhere I can go for a cigarette?

0:04:00 > 0:04:03Yeah. Outside, Wyvern Entrance. Down the stairs, turn left.

0:04:03 > 0:04:04I'll come with you.

0:04:08 > 0:04:11Can't image leaving your screaming, injured child

0:04:11 > 0:04:12to go for a cigarette break.

0:04:12 > 0:04:14It's disgraceful.

0:04:22 > 0:04:25Ah, thanks, but when have you ever seen me eat breakfast?

0:04:25 > 0:04:27It's just a bite. You've got a couple of hours.

0:04:27 > 0:04:29Yes, but I have a Body Combat class.

0:04:29 > 0:04:32And unlike you, I don't have the luxury of a lazy day off.

0:04:34 > 0:04:37Thanks, though, it's a really nice thought.

0:04:38 > 0:04:42Oh, and don't forget to close the bedroom window before you leave.

0:04:42 > 0:04:44Tara...

0:04:44 > 0:04:47I didn't leave my toothbrush in the bathroom by mistake.

0:04:47 > 0:04:49I've got a spare one at home.

0:04:49 > 0:04:53OK. I just thought it made sense to have one here.

0:04:53 > 0:04:54Is that OK?

0:04:54 > 0:04:56It's fine. It's just a toothbrush. Why wouldn't it be OK?

0:04:56 > 0:04:58No, no, the thing is...

0:04:58 > 0:05:02The lease is up on my house and I've got to consider

0:05:02 > 0:05:06whether or not I renew.

0:05:06 > 0:05:11And what with rent and bills and what-have-you being what they are...

0:05:11 > 0:05:13Not that that would be the reason of course,

0:05:13 > 0:05:16but, well, you know what I mean.

0:05:16 > 0:05:20Well, I'm not quite sure I do. But I am running really late.

0:05:20 > 0:05:21I mean...

0:05:23 > 0:05:26Well, what would you think about me moving in with you?

0:05:29 > 0:05:31Well, try not to look like I slapped you.

0:05:31 > 0:05:34Sorry. Um...can we talk about this later?

0:05:34 > 0:05:37Yeah, yeah. Of course. Of course. Yeah, yeah.

0:05:37 > 0:05:38Um...

0:05:38 > 0:05:41- OK, bye. Bye.- Yeah, bye.

0:05:45 > 0:05:47Stupid, stupid, stupid.

0:05:47 > 0:05:49PHONE RINGS

0:05:54 > 0:05:56HE EXHALES

0:05:59 > 0:06:00Morning, Arthur.

0:06:06 > 0:06:09Alexander Technique. Helps control nerves.

0:06:09 > 0:06:11Used to do it at music college before bassoon recitals.

0:06:11 > 0:06:13Oh.

0:06:15 > 0:06:17I can't do it if you're looking at me.

0:06:17 > 0:06:19Sorry. Pretend I'm not here.

0:06:19 > 0:06:21HE INHALES AND EXHALES

0:06:24 > 0:06:27I'm not quite in the mood for aromatherapy this morning.

0:06:27 > 0:06:28It's nice, actually.

0:06:28 > 0:06:30Thank you.

0:06:30 > 0:06:32Not that I would go to an aromatherapist.

0:06:32 > 0:06:35The practice lacks compelling evidence of efficacy.

0:06:35 > 0:06:36Pre-assessment nerves?

0:06:36 > 0:06:39Yes. I've learnt to handle it. I'll be fine.

0:06:39 > 0:06:41Dr Digby, are we prepared?

0:06:41 > 0:06:43Absolutely.

0:06:43 > 0:06:46I'm not exactly sure why I did that. Sorry.

0:06:46 > 0:06:48So what you will be doing today?

0:06:48 > 0:06:53I'll be performing a venepuncture for my DOPS,

0:06:53 > 0:06:57and a full operative assessment, counting as a mini-CEX.

0:06:57 > 0:06:58And the patient?

0:06:58 > 0:07:01Mr Ssht...shez-e...

0:07:01 > 0:07:03- Shezz-ee-panski? - Let's call him Panski for now.

0:07:03 > 0:07:06He's come in for an inguinal hernia repair.

0:07:06 > 0:07:08And what are the nine questions you need to answer

0:07:08 > 0:07:10when performing a pre-operative assessment?

0:07:10 > 0:07:13Dressed In a Surgeon's Gown A Physician Might Make Progress.

0:07:13 > 0:07:17Definition, Incidence, Sex,

0:07:17 > 0:07:21Geography, Aetiology,

0:07:21 > 0:07:23P. What's P?

0:07:23 > 0:07:24Pathogenesis.

0:07:28 > 0:07:30Hello, Sniffles.

0:07:30 > 0:07:32Number Two.

0:07:39 > 0:07:41I didn't see any fox.

0:07:43 > 0:07:45So what you saying?

0:07:46 > 0:07:48I'm just saying I didn't see any fox.

0:07:50 > 0:07:52Well, I did. Why else would I swerve into a tree?

0:08:00 > 0:08:03Apologies for the short notice. Staff sickness.

0:08:03 > 0:08:06- No problem. - Richard Davian. Good morning.

0:08:06 > 0:08:09- Morning.- Transferred to us from the ED with cardiac arrhythmia.

0:08:09 > 0:08:13- Morning.- Morning. - Can you describe it for me?

0:08:13 > 0:08:17It's like someone flips a switch, sends my heart into overdrive.

0:08:17 > 0:08:19Any chest pain?

0:08:19 > 0:08:21- No.- How long has this been going on for?

0:08:21 > 0:08:24Couple of hours. Every ten minutes or so.

0:08:24 > 0:08:27- Are you a smoker? - Quit a few years ago.

0:08:27 > 0:08:28Any funny stuff?

0:08:28 > 0:08:30Funny stuff?

0:08:30 > 0:08:31Drugs.

0:08:31 > 0:08:36Oh, no. Couple of drinks. I was at an after club.

0:08:36 > 0:08:38- What d'you think it could be? - Try not to worry.

0:08:38 > 0:08:43We'll run some tests and stabilise your heart with some medication.

0:08:43 > 0:08:44- Thank you.- Thanks.

0:08:46 > 0:08:48Let's do an ECG.

0:08:48 > 0:08:52Start him on 300 milligrams of Amiodarone, echo, angiogram

0:08:52 > 0:08:55and chest X-ray. Ask Tara to help with IV access.

0:08:55 > 0:08:59She not in till 11.00. She's got a Body Combat class.

0:08:59 > 0:09:02- I saw her half not hour ago. - Where?- In Wyvern.

0:09:05 > 0:09:07So you just happen to choose the day of my assessment

0:09:07 > 0:09:09to drop by and say hello?

0:09:09 > 0:09:13I was dropping these off. And I wanted to wish you good luck.

0:09:13 > 0:09:14Thank you.

0:09:14 > 0:09:16Don't get your knickers in a twist.

0:09:16 > 0:09:20I'm not your only competition for the F1 prize, just the fiercest.

0:09:20 > 0:09:22I knew it. You just came up here to intimidate me.

0:09:22 > 0:09:24Little old me? Intimidating?

0:09:24 > 0:09:27You can't bear the thought of becoming Number Three

0:09:27 > 0:09:29when I'm Number Two. Or heaven forbid, Number One.

0:09:29 > 0:09:31Yeah, and you'd stop at nothing to prevent it.

0:09:31 > 0:09:33What is it, chief weapon in your armoury,

0:09:33 > 0:09:35is it psychological manipulation?

0:09:35 > 0:09:38- Fine, I'll give you your space. - Thank you.

0:09:38 > 0:09:42Good luck with your assessments. Number Three.

0:09:42 > 0:09:43Number Three?

0:09:43 > 0:09:46Yep. I'd rather not talk about it. Got a patient to see.

0:09:46 > 0:09:49Quite right. After you...Sniffles.

0:09:49 > 0:09:55I have a minor sinus complaint. Yeah, come on.

0:09:55 > 0:09:58Mr Panski. Uh...Panky.

0:09:58 > 0:10:02No, uh...Shezz-ee...

0:10:02 > 0:10:04- Szczepanski.- Szczepanski.

0:10:04 > 0:10:06Shta-panski! Shta! Shta!

0:10:06 > 0:10:08Sounds Polish.

0:10:08 > 0:10:13My adoptive parents were Polish. They bestowed me with their name.

0:10:13 > 0:10:14Lucky me.

0:10:16 > 0:10:18Right. Well, I'm Dr Digby.

0:10:18 > 0:10:21I'll be performing your pre-operative assessment,

0:10:21 > 0:10:24as well as a venepuncture, which will involve taking blood.

0:10:25 > 0:10:28It's all right, I've done a hundred of them.

0:10:28 > 0:10:30I'll be right back.

0:10:30 > 0:10:32Are you OK, Mr Szczepanski?

0:10:32 > 0:10:34I don't know why I came here.

0:10:34 > 0:10:36To have your hernia repaired.

0:10:36 > 0:10:39Would you go to a vet to have your appendix out?

0:10:39 > 0:10:42I can assure you, we're not vets.

0:10:42 > 0:10:47You might as well be. It's not your fault. It's nothing personal.

0:10:47 > 0:10:52My physiology, it's not the same as yours.

0:10:52 > 0:10:55Right, I don't understand. There's nothing in your notes.

0:10:55 > 0:10:57I mean...

0:10:57 > 0:10:59I'm not from here.

0:11:01 > 0:11:03You're not from Holby?

0:11:03 > 0:11:06- No.- Where are you from?

0:11:09 > 0:11:11I mean, is she kidding, a banker named Brad?

0:11:11 > 0:11:15Brad the Banker. Sounds like a cartoon for children of economists.

0:11:15 > 0:11:18Probably just an over-tanned ex-jock with nothing between his ears.

0:11:18 > 0:11:20To be honest, it's not what's between their ears...

0:11:20 > 0:11:22- Thank you, Sacha.- Sorry.

0:11:22 > 0:11:25This jerk has got the nerve to tell my daughter that she

0:11:25 > 0:11:27looks "awesome" in that skimpy outfit?

0:11:27 > 0:11:29Well, it was probably an innocent remark.

0:11:29 > 0:11:31There was nothing innocent about that dress.

0:11:31 > 0:11:34Annalese is a good judge of character, isn't she?

0:11:34 > 0:11:36- She married me.- You've got a point.

0:11:36 > 0:11:38A coping mechanism?

0:11:38 > 0:11:40Everyone has them.

0:11:40 > 0:11:43And given what she's going through, I don't blame her for wanting a fag.

0:11:43 > 0:11:45- With her child lying screaming? - Who are you to judge?

0:11:45 > 0:11:47A mother. But you wouldn't understand that.

0:11:47 > 0:11:50What do you say we keep the bickering to a minimum?

0:11:50 > 0:11:51She started it.

0:11:51 > 0:11:54Oh, no. Zach Fairlock's X-ray results are back.

0:11:54 > 0:11:58Let's have a look. Fracture, second and third rib.

0:11:58 > 0:12:01Yeah, but there are two other previous breaks

0:12:01 > 0:12:03which haven't completely healed. Fourth left and fifth left.

0:12:03 > 0:12:06- Not consistent with today's trauma. - Yeah, no kidding, Sherlock.

0:12:06 > 0:12:09It must have happened before the accident.

0:12:09 > 0:12:12- What does it say in his...? - There's nothing in his notes.

0:12:21 > 0:12:23I take it your class was cancelled.

0:12:27 > 0:12:30I just think we should rule out all the other possibilities first.

0:12:30 > 0:12:34Yeah, like what? A tendency to walk into walls or fall down the stairs?

0:12:34 > 0:12:37If it's caused by impaired vision or an inner-ear imbalance,

0:12:37 > 0:12:38then quite possibly, yes.

0:12:38 > 0:12:42- Not to mention rickets. - Exactly, good point.

0:12:42 > 0:12:44I'm just urging caution, OK.

0:12:44 > 0:12:46You know, I mean kids get knocks all the time,

0:12:46 > 0:12:48doesn't necessarily mean abuse.

0:12:48 > 0:12:50Two previous injuries. Two.

0:12:50 > 0:12:53Both unexplained and probably non-accidental.

0:12:53 > 0:12:56Where is everyone? Where's all the doctors?

0:12:58 > 0:13:00No. I'm sure of it.

0:13:00 > 0:13:01What you talking about?

0:13:01 > 0:13:04I was looking right at the road when it happened.

0:13:04 > 0:13:06And there was no fox.

0:13:06 > 0:13:08This again?

0:13:08 > 0:13:10You just veered off the road for no reason. So what happened?

0:13:10 > 0:13:13I already told you.

0:13:13 > 0:13:15I think we should probably call Children's Services.

0:13:15 > 0:13:18- I agree, I second that.- No, let's not go jumping to conclusions.

0:13:18 > 0:13:20Well, what other conclusion is there? It's a textbook.

0:13:20 > 0:13:22- Live-in boyfriend. - An un-maternal mother.

0:13:22 > 0:13:25Sorry, I forget, you're mum of the year, aren't you?

0:13:25 > 0:13:27Stop, all right. Don't do that.

0:13:27 > 0:13:30You're right. Objectively, the best course of action

0:13:30 > 0:13:33is to wait for the rest of the test results.

0:13:33 > 0:13:35The last thing we want to do is to make a mistake.

0:13:35 > 0:13:38Exactly. Think about the cost of the family if they're innocent.

0:13:38 > 0:13:41Think about the cost to the child if they're not.

0:13:41 > 0:13:46All right, it's my case. My name's on the paperwork. I'll decide.

0:13:48 > 0:13:50So now you're checking up on me?

0:13:50 > 0:13:53I'm not checking up on you. I was called in.

0:13:53 > 0:13:55Why did you say you had a Body Combat class?

0:13:55 > 0:13:57- I needed some time alone. - You could've said that.

0:13:57 > 0:14:01- As if you'd listen. - What's that supposed to mean?

0:14:01 > 0:14:03Ollie, you're suffocating me.

0:14:04 > 0:14:08- What?- The parties, the unexpected concert tickets.

0:14:08 > 0:14:10Well, excuse me for trying to show you a good time.

0:14:10 > 0:14:13Except the only person having a good time is you.

0:14:13 > 0:14:14MACHINE BEEPS

0:14:18 > 0:14:19Page Elliot.

0:14:19 > 0:14:20It's getting worse.

0:14:26 > 0:14:30Excuse me, I have Zach's X-rays.

0:14:30 > 0:14:35He's sustained two rib fractures in the accident, there and there,

0:14:35 > 0:14:37but he's otherwise fine.

0:14:37 > 0:14:40Now, I do want to keep him on the spinal board

0:14:40 > 0:14:41to run a few more tests.

0:14:41 > 0:14:45What sort of tests? I thought you said he was OK.

0:14:45 > 0:14:47How's his eyesight?

0:14:47 > 0:14:50- Fine. Why? - And his balance? Is he clumsy?

0:14:50 > 0:14:52Of course he's clumsy. He's a toddler.

0:14:52 > 0:14:55What is this about? Have you found something?

0:14:55 > 0:14:56Yeah, kind of.

0:14:56 > 0:15:00He sustained two previous rib fractures, both healed over.

0:15:00 > 0:15:02But there's no mention in his records.

0:15:02 > 0:15:03Rib fractures?

0:15:03 > 0:15:06Mmm-hmm. There and there.

0:15:08 > 0:15:10Do you know anything about that?

0:15:10 > 0:15:12No.

0:15:14 > 0:15:16You think I did this?

0:15:16 > 0:15:18No, I'm not making any accusations.

0:15:18 > 0:15:20Well, that's not what it sounds like.

0:15:20 > 0:15:23Well, we do need to know the origin of these injuries.

0:15:23 > 0:15:25I don't know.

0:15:29 > 0:15:32Heart rate's coming down. Good job, Oliver.

0:15:32 > 0:15:33Thank you.

0:15:33 > 0:15:35Thank you.

0:15:36 > 0:15:43Pulse is 106, and continuing to drop, B/P 109/74 and SATS is 91.

0:15:43 > 0:15:46Right, let's continue to monitor his heart rhythm

0:15:46 > 0:15:49- and organise a 24-hour tape, please. - Yeah.

0:15:51 > 0:15:53- What happened?- It's palpitations.

0:15:53 > 0:15:55So you just left the club without saying anything?

0:15:55 > 0:15:59- I didn't want you to see me like this.- Idiot.

0:15:59 > 0:16:00Is he all right?

0:16:00 > 0:16:02We're just running some tests.

0:16:02 > 0:16:03I don't understand.

0:16:03 > 0:16:06He doesn't smoke, he goes to the gym, plays football.

0:16:06 > 0:16:09There's no heart problems in your family, is there?

0:16:09 > 0:16:11- Not as far as I know. - He's not an old man.

0:16:11 > 0:16:14- You're 47, is that correct? - No, he's 39.

0:16:14 > 0:16:17It says here your date of birth is 6th of June, 19...

0:16:17 > 0:16:1965.

0:16:22 > 0:16:24Right.

0:16:26 > 0:16:30Thank you, we'll take care of it. Thank you, Dr Lo.

0:16:30 > 0:16:32I mean, you know I like older men.

0:16:32 > 0:16:34Do we have to talk about this now?

0:16:35 > 0:16:39Look, you don't mind if we talk about it now, do you?

0:16:39 > 0:16:41See? He doesn't mind.

0:16:45 > 0:16:50I came out when I was 37.

0:16:50 > 0:16:53It's positively middle-aged.

0:16:53 > 0:16:56I've been lying about my age ever since.

0:16:58 > 0:17:00- Idiot.- I'm sorry.

0:17:02 > 0:17:05I suppose I've been trying to make up for lost time.

0:17:05 > 0:17:07Hence the all-nighters.

0:17:07 > 0:17:12There's more than one way to live in the moment.

0:17:12 > 0:17:13Psych, please.

0:17:13 > 0:17:15What are you doing?

0:17:15 > 0:17:18I'm calling a psychiatrist, what else?

0:17:19 > 0:17:21I can't deal with patients like that.

0:17:21 > 0:17:22Like what?

0:17:22 > 0:17:25The ones who are, you know, a sandwich short of a lunch-box.

0:17:25 > 0:17:27You were fine treating Vivienne in the end.

0:17:27 > 0:17:30Vivienne had sweet little old lady delusions.

0:17:30 > 0:17:33- This guy's off the deep end. - You can't pick and choose.

0:17:33 > 0:17:36Extenuating circumstances. Mr Malick'll understand.

0:17:36 > 0:17:38Won't he?

0:17:38 > 0:17:41Look, I've dealt with patients like this before.

0:17:41 > 0:17:44Sometimes it helps to just play along with it.

0:17:44 > 0:17:45Play along with it?

0:17:45 > 0:17:47Come on, I'll show you.

0:17:47 > 0:17:51I'm just going to check your pulse, Mr Szczepanski.

0:17:53 > 0:17:55We don't get many aliens at Holby.

0:17:55 > 0:17:58Have you always known you were from another planet?

0:17:58 > 0:18:00Why'd you want to know that?

0:18:00 > 0:18:01Just interested.

0:18:03 > 0:18:07I've always known I was different. Not like other people.

0:18:07 > 0:18:11S'pose we all feel like that sometimes, don't we, Dr Digby?

0:18:11 > 0:18:13Uh, yes. Yes, I suppose. Yeah.

0:18:13 > 0:18:17But I made the actual discovery two months ago.

0:18:17 > 0:18:19How did you do that?

0:18:20 > 0:18:22Would you pass me my documents?

0:18:27 > 0:18:30I was researching into the year of my birth.

0:18:30 > 0:18:34I found this newspaper article written about me in 1987.

0:18:34 > 0:18:39Nothing unusual there. Just another baby abandoned by its mother.

0:18:39 > 0:18:42But this is where it gets really interesting -

0:18:42 > 0:18:48that same week there were several UFO sightings all over the area.

0:18:48 > 0:18:52Including the night I was discovered.

0:18:53 > 0:18:57Nobody ever found where I came from. I was an unexplained mystery.

0:18:57 > 0:19:00- Wow.- Indeed.

0:19:03 > 0:19:06Well, I want you to know that we are honoured to have you visiting us.

0:19:06 > 0:19:08You're a very special guest.

0:19:08 > 0:19:09Thank you.

0:19:11 > 0:19:13Sorry for the delay. We ready?

0:19:15 > 0:19:18Well, thank you for letting me know. Bye.

0:19:18 > 0:19:24- Everything OK?- Foundation school programme director.

0:19:24 > 0:19:28They've advised Hamish to drop out of this year, and re-take it next.

0:19:28 > 0:19:31I know it's for the best, but still...

0:19:31 > 0:19:35You did everything you could. Excuse me. Tara.

0:19:35 > 0:19:38Hey, I've been thinking about what you said, and I admit, I might

0:19:38 > 0:19:42have been overdoing it a bit with the whole relentless activities.

0:19:42 > 0:19:45- A bit?- Well, you tell me, what's carpe diem Tara Lo-style?

0:19:45 > 0:19:46What do you want to do?

0:19:46 > 0:19:49All I want to do is work, study, do my research.

0:19:49 > 0:19:51You know, that whole advancement of career thing.

0:19:51 > 0:19:54OK, then how about today you're a CT1.

0:19:54 > 0:19:56You do the duties of a CT1,

0:19:56 > 0:19:59and any procedures I can get you in on.

0:19:59 > 0:20:00How does that sound?

0:20:00 > 0:20:02So I would be in charge?

0:20:07 > 0:20:09All right.

0:20:09 > 0:20:11Well, I guess I could be persuaded.

0:20:11 > 0:20:14Good. Right.

0:20:14 > 0:20:18Let's run an eye test, inner ear, blood for calcium, phosphate,

0:20:18 > 0:20:21alkaline phosphate, vitamin D, parathormone and urine.

0:20:21 > 0:20:23Just want to make sure we cover all our bases.

0:20:23 > 0:20:26Try not to worry. Hopefully, these tests will show us what's going on.

0:20:26 > 0:20:29If you haven't already made up your mind.

0:20:29 > 0:20:31Doesn't feel like they're fractured,

0:20:31 > 0:20:33but they could be tender for a while.

0:20:33 > 0:20:35- I could give you some painkillers. - How'd you get the scar?

0:20:35 > 0:20:38Fell out of a tree when I was a kid.

0:20:38 > 0:20:39Landed on a fence post.

0:20:42 > 0:20:45- Pull his medical records.- Why?

0:20:45 > 0:20:48Because I know a stab wound when I see one.

0:20:48 > 0:20:50I'm perspiring.

0:20:50 > 0:20:53Just try to relax.

0:20:55 > 0:20:59Can you just give me your arm, please?

0:21:03 > 0:21:04Please.

0:21:10 > 0:21:16Ow! I told you. My physiology is not the same as yours.

0:21:16 > 0:21:20Lucky for you, I was able to um...Wikipedia your species,

0:21:20 > 0:21:25and I found a complete schematic of your anatomy so...

0:21:25 > 0:21:30That is nonsense. What d'you think I am, an idiot?

0:21:30 > 0:21:34You've tried twice and failed twice. You don't know what you're doing.

0:21:34 > 0:21:37I know exactly what I'm doing, but if you keep moving your arm...

0:21:37 > 0:21:42Dr Digby, take a time out. Nurse Lane, finish the procedure.

0:21:53 > 0:21:56Looks like it's going to rain.

0:21:59 > 0:22:01There we go.

0:22:04 > 0:22:07- Oh, great.- What's wrong?

0:22:08 > 0:22:10Jasmine just unfriended me.

0:22:10 > 0:22:13Well, try not to take it personally.

0:22:13 > 0:22:17Yeah, my own daughter. How you getting on the records?

0:22:17 > 0:22:20- Yep, they're coming. - You sure you're not...?- What?

0:22:20 > 0:22:23- Projecting.- What?

0:22:23 > 0:22:25Personal issues with your own family.

0:22:25 > 0:22:28Oh, will you knock it off? You're not my shrink.

0:22:28 > 0:22:31- Michael.- Yeah?- You were right.

0:22:39 > 0:22:43- All done.- Thank you. - So you're having an angio and echo.

0:22:43 > 0:22:45I would like to add in a CT.

0:22:45 > 0:22:47- Why's that?- Just to be thorough.

0:22:47 > 0:22:50Why not? Seeing as I'm here. Clean slate.

0:22:50 > 0:22:52What else have you got on your menu?

0:22:52 > 0:22:56- Well, I was also considering an MRI. - Sounds fun.

0:22:56 > 0:22:58You're not at a day spa, love.

0:22:58 > 0:23:00Great. So that's an MRI to the thorax.

0:23:00 > 0:23:02I'll get that all sorted. Thanks.

0:23:02 > 0:23:04Yeah, thanks.

0:23:05 > 0:23:07If Elliott finds out you're ordering unnecessary tests...

0:23:07 > 0:23:09Why unnecessary?

0:23:09 > 0:23:12What a CT and an MRI for a patient presenting with tachycardia?

0:23:12 > 0:23:14In charge, remember?

0:23:19 > 0:23:22Yes, radiology, please.

0:23:22 > 0:23:26Hi, this is Dr Lo on Darwin ward. I would like to order...

0:23:26 > 0:23:28Are you ordering lunch?

0:23:28 > 0:23:29Yeah.

0:23:29 > 0:23:32Could you order me a double pastrami sandwich, brown bread,

0:23:32 > 0:23:34extra tomato and red onion?

0:23:39 > 0:23:43Yes. Sorry. I'm still here. I'd like to order

0:23:43 > 0:23:47a double pastrami sandwich on brown bread,

0:23:47 > 0:23:49with red onion and tomatoes.

0:23:49 > 0:23:53- Extra tomatoes.- Extra tomatoes. Do they have any jalapenos?

0:23:53 > 0:23:57I'll ask. Do you have jalapenos?

0:23:57 > 0:23:58Yeah.

0:23:58 > 0:24:01Just a little sprinkling of jalapenos.

0:24:01 > 0:24:04That's just a sprinkling of jalapenos, please. Great. Thanks.

0:24:04 > 0:24:06Bye.

0:24:06 > 0:24:09You didn't order anything for yourself?

0:24:10 > 0:24:13Oh, you know, I'm not that hungry any more.

0:24:13 > 0:24:15Are you all right?

0:24:15 > 0:24:17- Yes, I'm fine. - Well, thank you, thanks.

0:24:23 > 0:24:25I need to call them back and apologise.

0:24:25 > 0:24:28Yeah, before you do, you might want to call a real sandwich bar,

0:24:28 > 0:24:31check out they've got jalapenos.

0:24:32 > 0:24:35- This doesn't change anything. - Are you joking?

0:24:35 > 0:24:37We've got to focus on the medical evidence.

0:24:37 > 0:24:39Assault. What more do you need?

0:24:39 > 0:24:43Eyesight's normal. And no signs of inner-ear imbalance or osteomalacia.

0:24:47 > 0:24:49Michael. Michael.

0:24:50 > 0:24:52Mrs Fairlock.

0:24:52 > 0:24:56I'd like to have a word with you about your boyfriend.

0:24:59 > 0:25:02What kind of a sandwich bar doesn't have jalapenos?

0:25:02 > 0:25:05Hurry up, he's coming.

0:25:05 > 0:25:06They're up to something.

0:25:06 > 0:25:08They've been up to something all morning.

0:25:08 > 0:25:11Oliver, did I just see the delivery boy?

0:25:11 > 0:25:13- Yep.- So where's my sandwich?

0:25:14 > 0:25:16It's here.

0:25:16 > 0:25:19It must have fallen, the wrapper must have come off a bit in the bag.

0:25:19 > 0:25:22- I've a good mind to complain. - We did, already did.

0:25:22 > 0:25:24Yep, really harshly.

0:25:24 > 0:25:25Right, thank you.

0:25:29 > 0:25:32Right, time to get the goss. I'll take her, you take him.

0:25:32 > 0:25:33Roger that.

0:25:36 > 0:25:39- CT1 for a day?- Yes, I was just trying to be romantic, I guess.

0:25:39 > 0:25:41Romantic? What, are you off your nut?

0:25:41 > 0:25:43Since when are you the master of romance?

0:25:43 > 0:25:45Hey, I make no claims to mastery, trust me on that one.

0:25:45 > 0:25:48- Well, anyway you're missing the point.- Enlighten me.

0:25:48 > 0:25:50- I'm just trying to make every day special.- Oh.

0:25:50 > 0:25:51Sorry, what was that?

0:25:51 > 0:25:54What you just said made me sick up in my mouth a little bit.

0:25:54 > 0:25:56Sorry, no, I'm fine now. Carry on.

0:25:56 > 0:25:59Just try not to sound so much like one of those greetings cards

0:25:59 > 0:26:02with the wee fuzzy bears on the front.

0:26:02 > 0:26:03Oi!

0:26:03 > 0:26:06Ah, the toothbrush of doom. I know it well.

0:26:06 > 0:26:09It's not like I'm totally averse to the idea of him moving in.

0:26:09 > 0:26:12- Then what's the problem? - The parties, the concerts.

0:26:12 > 0:26:16- Oh, you poor thing. - Hey, I know how to have fun.

0:26:16 > 0:26:18Except your idea of fun is being a CT1.

0:26:18 > 0:26:20Yeah, exactly.

0:26:20 > 0:26:23T-Lo, listen. Life's short.

0:26:23 > 0:26:26It's not about how many aortic valves you repaired.

0:26:26 > 0:26:29It's about the things you did that made you feel like a kid.

0:26:29 > 0:26:32- Mr Davian's scan results. - Ah, thank you.

0:26:34 > 0:26:35OK.

0:26:39 > 0:26:41I don't believe you.

0:26:41 > 0:26:42Well, it's all right here.

0:26:42 > 0:26:44He was admitted 18 months ago with a stab wound,

0:26:44 > 0:26:46and then he was arrested for assault.

0:26:48 > 0:26:51That could've been anything. He could have been mugged.

0:26:51 > 0:26:53Why would he lie about it?

0:26:53 > 0:26:56How long have you two been together?

0:26:56 > 0:26:58A year.

0:26:58 > 0:27:01OK, well these fractures were sustained

0:27:01 > 0:27:02within the last three months.

0:27:02 > 0:27:07Now, have you left Zach alone with him during that time?

0:27:17 > 0:27:19What was that about?

0:27:21 > 0:27:23A bed in Paeds has opened up.

0:27:23 > 0:27:25Tell them to give it to someone else.

0:27:25 > 0:27:26We'll keep them down here.

0:27:26 > 0:27:29I'm not sure that's a very good idea.

0:27:29 > 0:27:31I will refer him to a paediatrician. Just do it.

0:27:37 > 0:27:39I know it's not my place to say,

0:27:39 > 0:27:41but I don't think he's acting professionally.

0:27:41 > 0:27:44You're right. It's not your place to say.

0:27:46 > 0:27:48You don't think she's got a point?

0:27:48 > 0:27:51No. And I don't think he'll listen to you either.

0:27:51 > 0:27:53No, but I know someone he might listen to.

0:27:53 > 0:27:55It's a long shot, but...

0:27:55 > 0:27:57Ric Griffin's office, please.

0:27:57 > 0:28:00- He said what? - He showed me your medical records.

0:28:00 > 0:28:02He can't do that, though. They're confidential.

0:28:02 > 0:28:05Then make a complaint. But first, you're going to...

0:28:05 > 0:28:06Oi! You tell me.

0:28:12 > 0:28:16It was a fight in a pub. I didn't start it.

0:28:17 > 0:28:19I went over to try and calm things down.

0:28:19 > 0:28:23Then this guy decked my mate. I got stuck in.

0:28:23 > 0:28:28Next thing I knew, I had a knife in my back.

0:28:28 > 0:28:32Spent two weeks in hospital, and a month in the nick.

0:28:34 > 0:28:38I'm sorry that I didn't say anything.

0:28:38 > 0:28:42I was just worried that you'd ditch me if you knew I'd been inside.

0:28:44 > 0:28:48Mandy, you know me.

0:28:48 > 0:28:51I'm not a bad man.

0:28:51 > 0:28:53You believe me, don't you?

0:28:58 > 0:28:59Dr Valentine,

0:28:59 > 0:29:05could you please explain why you sent Mr Davian for a CT and an MRI?

0:29:05 > 0:29:07Just erring on the side of caution.

0:29:07 > 0:29:11It's completely unjustified, both clinically and financially.

0:29:11 > 0:29:13I have the results.

0:29:17 > 0:29:21Your echo shows a minor mitral valve prolapse, which is a small leakage,

0:29:21 > 0:29:25- but that's nothing to worry about. - So it's not serious?

0:29:25 > 0:29:28As far as the arrhythmia goes, we'll give you some medication

0:29:28 > 0:29:30and keep an eye on it.

0:29:30 > 0:29:32Then why the long faces?

0:29:37 > 0:29:40This is the MRI that Dr Valentine ordered.

0:29:42 > 0:29:46You see the lighter areas here? They're lesions.

0:29:46 > 0:29:51They indicate that a process called demyelination is occurring.

0:29:51 > 0:29:55It's a degenerative process that erodes the sheath that

0:29:55 > 0:29:56normally protects the nerve fibres.

0:29:56 > 0:29:59I don't understand.

0:30:01 > 0:30:06The signs are indicative of MS. Multiple Sclerosis.

0:30:13 > 0:30:17Have you been feeling weak? Tired at work?

0:30:17 > 0:30:21I've got a stressful job. Account executive.

0:30:21 > 0:30:23Everyone's tired.

0:30:23 > 0:30:26Dr Valentine and Dr Lo will run further tests,

0:30:26 > 0:30:30just to get a clearer picture.

0:30:30 > 0:30:33In addition, we'll refer you to a neurologist to confirm

0:30:33 > 0:30:37the diagnosis and to discuss a treatment plan.

0:30:37 > 0:30:39We'll get those tests sorted out straight away.

0:30:39 > 0:30:42Right, thank you.

0:30:42 > 0:30:44- I think you should sit this one out.- Why?

0:30:44 > 0:30:47Well, the only reason we know about his condition is

0:30:47 > 0:30:49because I crowned you CT1 for the day.

0:30:49 > 0:30:52- I'd rather not draw attention to that fact.- Why not? We deserve...

0:30:52 > 0:30:55- We could get into trouble.- What, for making an early diagnosis of MS?

0:30:55 > 0:30:57Funnily enough, giving an F1 the duties of a CT1

0:30:57 > 0:30:59- is somewhat frowned upon. - It was your idea.

0:30:59 > 0:31:02I didn't anticipate you diagnosing a degenerative illness.

0:31:02 > 0:31:04Oh, that's what this is about?

0:31:04 > 0:31:06No.

0:31:06 > 0:31:09- Ollie, I have dealt with patients with degenerative...- I know that.

0:31:09 > 0:31:11Then stop treating me like a baby.

0:31:22 > 0:31:25Hey, hey, what are you doing in here?

0:31:25 > 0:31:27- What do you want?- You got a family?

0:31:27 > 0:31:28That's none of your business.

0:31:28 > 0:31:31I understand, patient/doctor boundaries, that sort of thing.

0:31:31 > 0:31:34- Do I need to call security? - You scared of me?- Should I be?

0:31:34 > 0:31:37I am not a monster, despite what you might think.

0:31:37 > 0:31:39All right, I think you need to get out.

0:31:39 > 0:31:41I love that little boy like he was my own.

0:31:41 > 0:31:43All right, noted.

0:31:43 > 0:31:44Noted?

0:31:44 > 0:31:46All right, get out. Come on, out.

0:31:58 > 0:32:01- Enjoy that, did you? Slamming the door in my face.- Enough!

0:32:01 > 0:32:03- Jerk.- What did you just say?

0:32:03 > 0:32:06Don't you walk away from me. What did you call me?

0:32:06 > 0:32:08I need the results for Zach's CT scans, please.

0:32:08 > 0:32:11- You can't be behind here.- You have no right to talk to me like that.

0:32:11 > 0:32:13- You're meant to be professionals. - I am a professional.

0:32:13 > 0:32:16- Repeat what you said.- I don't know what you're talking about.

0:32:16 > 0:32:18Mr Brownfield, step out of the Nurses' Station.

0:32:18 > 0:32:21- What's going on?- He just called me a jerk. Right to my face.

0:32:21 > 0:32:25The people here aren't professional. We should take him somewhere else.

0:32:25 > 0:32:26You take that child anywhere

0:32:26 > 0:32:28- and I'll report you to the police. - No!

0:32:28 > 0:32:30You've been itching to do that since we walked in.

0:32:30 > 0:32:34That because you've been acting guilty as hell since you got here.

0:32:46 > 0:32:48Maybe you should try that breathing thing again.

0:32:48 > 0:32:52- Are you making fun of me?- No. - Well, you should. I'm hopeless.

0:32:52 > 0:32:54No, you're not.

0:32:54 > 0:32:55It's her fault.

0:32:57 > 0:32:58Gemma?

0:32:58 > 0:33:00She knew coming in today would throw me.

0:33:00 > 0:33:02What is it with you two?

0:33:02 > 0:33:06In med school rankings, I was consistently third,

0:33:06 > 0:33:09Gemma defeating me every time by coming in at...

0:33:09 > 0:33:11Number Two. I get it now.

0:33:13 > 0:33:16It wouldn't be so bad if she didn't find everything so easy.

0:33:17 > 0:33:19Unbelievable.

0:33:19 > 0:33:21OK. Close your eyes.

0:33:21 > 0:33:22What?

0:33:22 > 0:33:23Just close your eyes.

0:33:29 > 0:33:30Take a deep breath.

0:33:30 > 0:33:32Give me your hands.

0:33:35 > 0:33:36Open.

0:33:47 > 0:33:50I reckon that's first class.

0:33:50 > 0:33:52I think you're right.

0:33:52 > 0:33:54As long as you're relaxed, you're fine.

0:33:54 > 0:33:56You just need to find a way to calm the patient too.

0:33:59 > 0:34:02What do you say we fly out there, track him down,

0:34:02 > 0:34:04and beat the crap out of him?

0:34:04 > 0:34:06Sounds like a plan.

0:34:06 > 0:34:07Brad.

0:34:07 > 0:34:11So what was all that about in AAU?

0:34:11 > 0:34:15Potential child abuse. Parents are being obstructive.

0:34:15 > 0:34:18Unlike you to get your feathers so ruffled.

0:34:18 > 0:34:20My feathers aren't ruffled.

0:34:20 > 0:34:22I just lost my temper a little bit.

0:34:22 > 0:34:23A little?

0:34:27 > 0:34:31That child is a victim of two non-accidental, unreported...

0:34:31 > 0:34:33Yes, I read the notes.

0:34:33 > 0:34:34When did you do that?

0:34:37 > 0:34:40Sacha forwarded it to me.

0:34:40 > 0:34:43That's why you were on AAU? Checking up on me?

0:34:43 > 0:34:44Hoping to lend a hand.

0:34:46 > 0:34:48Maybe you should let Sacha deal with this one.

0:34:48 > 0:34:50I'm not backing out.

0:34:50 > 0:34:53Whether you're right or wrong about this child,

0:34:53 > 0:34:56your behaviour on the ward was unprofessional.

0:34:56 > 0:34:58My behaviour was appropriate to the situation.

0:34:58 > 0:35:02That guy was trying to intimidate me. What does that tell you?

0:35:02 > 0:35:05Apparently, he succeeded.

0:35:05 > 0:35:07Thanks for the coffee.

0:35:13 > 0:35:14Do you really think that helped?

0:35:14 > 0:35:16I'm sorry. I lost my head.

0:35:18 > 0:35:20What? You still think I did it?

0:35:20 > 0:35:22Well, all the fractures were in the last three months.

0:35:22 > 0:35:25Helen's hen do. I left you with him all night.

0:35:25 > 0:35:27When I came back, he was screaming.

0:35:29 > 0:35:30Because he wanted his mum.

0:35:30 > 0:35:32Yeah, and he didn't stop when I got back.

0:35:32 > 0:35:35- Took me ages to calm him down. - Listen to what you're saying.

0:35:35 > 0:35:37What else am I supposed to think?

0:35:44 > 0:35:48Look what they're doing to us.

0:35:48 > 0:35:52I love him. And I love you.

0:35:52 > 0:35:54You are the only thing I have ever got right.

0:35:54 > 0:35:57I don't want to lose that.

0:35:57 > 0:35:58Oh, my God!

0:35:58 > 0:35:59What?

0:35:59 > 0:36:03His back. I forgot about his back.

0:36:03 > 0:36:05- What if they see it.- See what?

0:36:17 > 0:36:20You have focal sensory disturbance.

0:36:20 > 0:36:22Is that a symptom?

0:36:22 > 0:36:26It's a sign, yes. But we will still run some more tests.

0:36:26 > 0:36:32Symptoms can come and go, sometimes completely or partially.

0:36:32 > 0:36:34It could be years before it develops.

0:36:34 > 0:36:36How many years?

0:36:36 > 0:36:38It's hard to say.

0:36:39 > 0:36:42So I'm just supposed to live with a ticking time bomb?

0:36:45 > 0:36:47Mr Davian, we will arrange follow-up appointments

0:36:47 > 0:36:49with a neurologist and a physiotherapist.

0:36:49 > 0:36:53If you hadn't run those tests I could've had this for years

0:36:53 > 0:36:55without even knowing.

0:36:55 > 0:36:57Yes, but eventually you would have found out.

0:36:57 > 0:37:00Yeah, eventually. Not now.

0:37:00 > 0:37:02But now that you do know, you can keep an eye on it.

0:37:02 > 0:37:05- I don't want to keep an eye on it! - Mr Davian, please.

0:37:05 > 0:37:07I feel sick. I'm sorry. Excuse me.

0:37:07 > 0:37:09We're going to give you some medication for your heart,

0:37:09 > 0:37:12we'll keep you in overnight for observation. OK.

0:37:12 > 0:37:14Why? So she can run some more tests?

0:37:14 > 0:37:16Find more things wrong with me?

0:37:16 > 0:37:19Just give me my medication.

0:37:19 > 0:37:22I'll come back when my heart's bad again.

0:37:22 > 0:37:26Dr Lo, Bisoprolol, 5mgs daily, please.

0:37:26 > 0:37:29And let's arrange the discharge forms.

0:37:29 > 0:37:31Afternoon, Mr Szczepanski.

0:37:31 > 0:37:36Don't worry, it won't bite. I want to show you something.

0:37:36 > 0:37:39It took a bit of digging, but I managed to find some

0:37:39 > 0:37:43articles about those UFO sightings that you mentioned before.

0:37:43 > 0:37:44I have all the articles.

0:37:44 > 0:37:48But I don't think you have these ones.

0:37:48 > 0:37:53These were from two weeks after the sightings took place. Look.

0:37:55 > 0:38:00It was a hoax. It was make-believe.

0:38:00 > 0:38:02I want to show you something else.

0:38:02 > 0:38:05If you don't mind just lifting your top up.

0:38:08 > 0:38:11This is going to be a little bit cold.

0:38:14 > 0:38:15Look at the screen.

0:38:15 > 0:38:19You see that dark blob there? That is your stomach.

0:38:20 > 0:38:24And I can assure you, 100% perfectly human.

0:38:25 > 0:38:26And moving up.

0:38:28 > 0:38:31The grand engine of it all, the human heart.

0:38:32 > 0:38:38You see? Your physiology is exactly the same as everyone else's.

0:38:39 > 0:38:41So you've got nothing to be scared of.

0:38:44 > 0:38:46Did Ric find you?

0:38:46 > 0:38:48- Yeah.- Zach's CT scan.

0:38:51 > 0:38:52It's all clear.

0:38:55 > 0:38:59So we have the result of Zach's CT scan and it's all clear.

0:38:59 > 0:39:03We're going to take him off the spinal board and examine him further.

0:39:15 > 0:39:17Here we go. Easy.

0:39:17 > 0:39:18Wait.

0:39:21 > 0:39:24You're going to find something...on his back.

0:39:24 > 0:39:26- What?- Burn marks.

0:39:34 > 0:39:37I only looked away for a second. Just a second.

0:39:37 > 0:39:40And then when I saw he was coming in, I couldn't stop him,

0:39:40 > 0:39:43I had the tray in my hands, and it was really hot.

0:39:43 > 0:39:45He toddled in and he fell over.

0:39:45 > 0:39:48And his back touched the oven. It was an accident.

0:39:48 > 0:39:51- Why didn't you report it? - It was a minor burn.

0:39:51 > 0:39:53You didn't think to take him to get it checked out?

0:39:53 > 0:39:56Why is it people like you are always telling people like me

0:39:56 > 0:39:59- how to be a good parent? - No. That's not what we're doing.

0:39:59 > 0:40:02Look, if it was serious, then yes, of course I would have done.

0:40:02 > 0:40:05I would never hurt him. Never.

0:40:05 > 0:40:07What about your boyfriend?

0:40:09 > 0:40:13Just one more chance. I did it perfectly in the wet lab.

0:40:13 > 0:40:14- He did.- I'll think about it.

0:40:14 > 0:40:18Let's see how you do on your full operative assessment first.

0:40:20 > 0:40:22Me again.

0:40:22 > 0:40:24I need to perform an examination.

0:40:26 > 0:40:29I'll take that as an affirmative.

0:40:29 > 0:40:32Dressed In a Surgeon's Gown A Physician Might Make Progress.

0:40:32 > 0:40:35I'm going to start with a physical examination.

0:40:35 > 0:40:37So if you could just lift up your gown for me.

0:40:48 > 0:40:50HE GROANS

0:40:50 > 0:40:52That's the hernia, right there.

0:40:52 > 0:40:54It doesn't make any sense.

0:40:54 > 0:40:55Excuse me?

0:40:55 > 0:41:00If I'm like everyone else, then why have I always felt so...not?

0:41:00 > 0:41:02HE GROANS

0:41:02 > 0:41:04- Pain?- Yes.

0:41:04 > 0:41:05Probably just the hernia.

0:41:05 > 0:41:08I feel nauseated. My mouth's dry.

0:41:09 > 0:41:13OK, well, just try to relax. You're perspiring again.

0:41:17 > 0:41:18THERMOMETER BEEPS

0:41:18 > 0:41:2138. A little high.

0:41:23 > 0:41:25Sorry. Sudden itch.

0:41:25 > 0:41:29Right, I'm just going to listen to your...

0:41:29 > 0:41:32I seem to be developing... I think it's...

0:41:32 > 0:41:35Dr Digby, what on earth are you doing?

0:41:35 > 0:41:37I think it's hives. Everywhere.

0:41:37 > 0:41:40- It looks like you've had an allergic reaction.- To what?

0:41:40 > 0:41:42To me.

0:41:42 > 0:41:43- Asthma.- OK.

0:41:43 > 0:41:48I was right. I am an alien. I told you.

0:41:48 > 0:41:49I told you.

0:41:51 > 0:41:52Leave.

0:41:55 > 0:41:57What?

0:41:57 > 0:42:01The best thing that you can do for me and for Zach is to leave.

0:42:01 > 0:42:03Now. For good.

0:42:03 > 0:42:06If you really love us, then that's what you'll do.

0:42:39 > 0:42:41Thanks.

0:42:42 > 0:42:45My grandmother had MS.

0:42:45 > 0:42:50My granddad, he left her. 27 years of marriage.

0:42:50 > 0:42:55Can you believe that? Paid for a full-time carer. Took off.

0:42:55 > 0:42:57So much for in sickness and in health, eh?

0:42:57 > 0:42:59I'm sorry.

0:42:59 > 0:43:02She wasn't. Said she could finally get some reading done.

0:43:06 > 0:43:08I don't think I can do it.

0:43:11 > 0:43:15Watch him...get worse.

0:43:15 > 0:43:19Take your time. It's lots to think about.

0:43:23 > 0:43:26I'm sorry about the way I spoke to you.

0:43:26 > 0:43:27It's OK.

0:43:27 > 0:43:29No, it's not.

0:43:29 > 0:43:32Last thing you need are patients having a go at you

0:43:32 > 0:43:33when doing your job.

0:43:33 > 0:43:35We get used to it.

0:43:40 > 0:43:42So much for living in the moment.

0:43:42 > 0:43:44Maybe it's more important now than ever.

0:43:48 > 0:43:51HE STRUGGLES FOR BREATH

0:43:51 > 0:43:52Mr Davian?

0:43:52 > 0:43:55I feel...

0:44:03 > 0:44:05Cyanosis.

0:44:05 > 0:44:09Acute pulmonary oedema. IV Furosemide, 5mg morphine, please.

0:44:09 > 0:44:11Let's get him prepped for theatre.

0:44:13 > 0:44:16Mr Spence.

0:44:16 > 0:44:20I just wanted to let you know that Phil and I

0:44:20 > 0:44:22aren't together any more so...

0:44:22 > 0:44:27So if him being not in the picture makes...makes any difference at all

0:44:27 > 0:44:30then I'm...I'm begging you...

0:44:32 > 0:44:35I'm a good mother.

0:44:35 > 0:44:39Maybe not always the best. I make mistakes.

0:44:39 > 0:44:42But I'm a good mother.

0:44:55 > 0:44:57If she's suspicious of her own boyfriend,

0:44:57 > 0:45:00it's not likely she's done her child any harm, is it?

0:45:00 > 0:45:04What difference does that make? What about the burns?

0:45:11 > 0:45:15Yeah, I need to speak to the on-call social worker, please.

0:45:21 > 0:45:23Oh, God.

0:45:23 > 0:45:25Just stay calm, Dr Digby.

0:45:25 > 0:45:26Anti-histamine.

0:45:27 > 0:45:30Think I just heard a sniffle.

0:45:30 > 0:45:33It must be some sort of defence mechanism common to my species.

0:45:33 > 0:45:36- Maybe some kind of venom. - That's not possible, Mr Szczepanski.

0:45:36 > 0:45:40Stay still for me. There you go.

0:45:40 > 0:45:43Good. Right.

0:45:43 > 0:45:45Pin-point pupils.

0:45:45 > 0:45:49Perspiration. And you said you were feeling nauseated.

0:45:49 > 0:45:50Dry mouth.

0:45:52 > 0:45:56- And the temperature was?- 38.

0:45:56 > 0:45:5739 now.

0:45:57 > 0:45:59What's going on?

0:45:59 > 0:46:03I can't be 100% sure, but my guess is an opiate.

0:46:06 > 0:46:11Right, yes. I'll be right with you. Oliver, come round here.

0:46:11 > 0:46:14Take over. I need to take that call.

0:46:16 > 0:46:20Start tying the ring one by one. Four knots to each.

0:46:20 > 0:46:23First time for everything.

0:46:23 > 0:46:25Good, thank you.

0:46:25 > 0:46:28OK, once you've finished tying, cut the sutures.

0:46:28 > 0:46:30I'll help you close the left atrium.

0:46:30 > 0:46:32I've just got to take this call.

0:46:32 > 0:46:34Thank you, Professor Hope.

0:46:36 > 0:46:39Good, well done. Carry on.

0:46:39 > 0:46:40Yes?

0:46:45 > 0:46:49Ollie, can I decannulate the patient?

0:46:49 > 0:46:51You've seen me do it in the wet lab.

0:46:51 > 0:46:56- On pigs' hearts. - Yeah, so you know I can do it.

0:47:00 > 0:47:04- No, he's watching.- Not any more.

0:47:08 > 0:47:10Carpe diem.

0:47:14 > 0:47:17Right, start by removing the tubes from the superior vena cava

0:47:17 > 0:47:20and the inferior vena cava. OK.

0:47:20 > 0:47:22Michael, social worker just called.

0:47:22 > 0:47:25She's caught up with another emergency but she's on her way.

0:47:25 > 0:47:27Thank you, Sister Williams.

0:47:28 > 0:47:29When can I take him home?

0:47:29 > 0:47:32I want to keep him in for observations a little while longer.

0:47:32 > 0:47:34- But you said he was fine. - Yeah, he is.

0:47:34 > 0:47:37- So why can't I take him? - He's just been in a car accident.

0:47:37 > 0:47:39- You don't want to take chances, do you?- Of course not.

0:47:39 > 0:47:41OK, let's be cautious.

0:47:48 > 0:47:504.0 Prolene, please.

0:47:53 > 0:47:57OK, now, be careful not go too deep.

0:48:07 > 0:48:09Now, gently.

0:48:09 > 0:48:11Don't use too much force.

0:48:11 > 0:48:13I know. I know.

0:48:13 > 0:48:15SHE SCREAMS

0:48:15 > 0:48:17You've torn the aorta.

0:48:17 > 0:48:18MACHINES BEEP

0:48:18 > 0:48:20Tara. Tara!

0:48:22 > 0:48:24- What on earth are you doing? - We've got a bleed.

0:48:24 > 0:48:27Don't just stand there, man, put your finger on it.

0:48:30 > 0:48:33We've had the results back from your tox screen.

0:48:33 > 0:48:37And determined that the cause of my allergic reaction was, indeed...

0:48:37 > 0:48:39you.

0:48:39 > 0:48:41It seems that you're secreting a compound called

0:48:41 > 0:48:42fentanyl in your sweat.

0:48:42 > 0:48:45Do you know what that is?

0:48:45 > 0:48:46It's a drug.

0:48:46 > 0:48:50A strong opiate painkiller used to treat chronic pain.

0:48:50 > 0:48:52It's usually delivered in patches,

0:48:52 > 0:48:56most often for people suffering from terminal illness.

0:48:56 > 0:48:58For you to be secreting it in your sweat,

0:48:58 > 0:49:01it suggests that you've been ingesting it in high quantities,

0:49:01 > 0:49:05and that you're more than likely wearing some of these patches now.

0:49:05 > 0:49:07Please don't take them. Please.

0:49:07 > 0:49:10Mr Szecepan...Lloyd.

0:49:10 > 0:49:13Erm, one of the possible side effects of an overdose

0:49:13 > 0:49:15of fentanyl is delusions.

0:49:15 > 0:49:17Do you understand what I'm saying?

0:49:17 > 0:49:20- No. I need it.- Why?- For the pain.

0:49:20 > 0:49:23- You mean from the hernia? - No. Here. Here. Here.

0:49:23 > 0:49:25- I don't understand. - They're gone. They're gone.

0:49:25 > 0:49:27- Who's gone?- Mum. Dad. Mum.

0:49:27 > 0:49:30That's how you got the fentanyl? Your parents were on it?

0:49:30 > 0:49:32Whoa, Mr Szczepanski, please calm down.

0:49:32 > 0:49:34Mr Szczepanski?

0:49:34 > 0:49:36Help!

0:49:36 > 0:49:40Excuse me, could you fill up water jug for us, please? Thanks.

0:49:47 > 0:49:51Let's put your hood up, shall we? There we go.

0:49:51 > 0:49:56Let's get all nice and warm, shall we? Nice and warm.

0:49:58 > 0:50:01We're going to have a look outside, darling.

0:50:08 > 0:50:12Charge to 20. Clear.

0:50:12 > 0:50:15MACHINES BEEP

0:50:15 > 0:50:18- Still in VF. - Charge to 30. Clear.

0:50:23 > 0:50:25- Anything?- They're not in the toilets.

0:50:25 > 0:50:28All right, call security. Let's keep looking.

0:50:28 > 0:50:32I suppose it's not beyond the realms of possibility that a sufficiently

0:50:32 > 0:50:36advanced species might be able to replicate our physiology.

0:50:36 > 0:50:40But to believe that they're actually amongst us is to completely

0:50:40 > 0:50:42ignore the impossibility of faster than light travel.

0:50:42 > 0:50:46Dr Digby, I have a no chit-chat policy in my theatre.

0:50:46 > 0:50:49I'm sorry. I didn't realise.

0:50:49 > 0:50:51I just implemented it.

0:50:51 > 0:50:52Right.

0:51:06 > 0:51:08- Anything?- Nothing.

0:51:10 > 0:51:12Mandy.

0:51:12 > 0:51:13What are you doing here?

0:51:13 > 0:51:15You really think I'm just going to walk away?

0:51:15 > 0:51:17- Look.- Come on.

0:51:17 > 0:51:19- What you doing? - The only thing I can do.

0:51:19 > 0:51:21Right, well, at least let me help you get away.

0:51:21 > 0:51:24If you don't want to see me after that, I won't argue.

0:51:28 > 0:51:31There they are! Mandy. Mandy, don't, stop.

0:51:31 > 0:51:32You called Social Services.

0:51:32 > 0:51:34Look they just want to talk with you.

0:51:34 > 0:51:37- No-one wants to take him away. - Why should I believe you?

0:51:37 > 0:51:38Let's go. They can't stop us.

0:51:38 > 0:51:40You're making this a lot worse for yourself.

0:51:40 > 0:51:43- It can't get any worse.- If you run, it will get worse. I promise you.

0:51:43 > 0:51:45I've already taken him now.

0:51:45 > 0:51:47Right now, it's just us. No-one else knows.

0:51:47 > 0:51:48He's a liar.

0:51:48 > 0:51:51Look, I see why you want to run. But what you going to do?

0:51:51 > 0:51:52You want to hit me? All right, go ahead.

0:51:52 > 0:51:55Come on, show me what a great father you are!

0:51:55 > 0:51:57- Michael!- Phil!

0:51:57 > 0:51:59I told you he was lying.

0:51:59 > 0:52:01Look, they're going to take him to Paeds, all right.

0:52:01 > 0:52:03You can talk to him there.

0:52:03 > 0:52:05What on earth possessed you?

0:52:05 > 0:52:06I was trying to mentor her.

0:52:06 > 0:52:09- By putting a patient's life at risk? - She was under my supervision.

0:52:09 > 0:52:12It was reckless. You're lucky he survived.

0:52:13 > 0:52:15Why? Why did you did it?

0:52:15 > 0:52:17I was just trying to give her a new experience.

0:52:17 > 0:52:19CT1 for the day.

0:52:19 > 0:52:22I understand that you're going through a difficult time,

0:52:22 > 0:52:26- but you must...- What do you mean? What do you mean difficult?

0:52:30 > 0:52:33- You know? When did you find out? - A few months ago.

0:52:33 > 0:52:37You've been letting me going through hell and you didn't say anything?

0:52:37 > 0:52:38I didn't feel it was my place.

0:52:38 > 0:52:41Really? I thought you cared about your students' welfare.

0:52:41 > 0:52:43- It's not about me. - What is it about, Professor?

0:52:43 > 0:52:45It's about what you're scared of.

0:52:49 > 0:52:50This is between me and Tara.

0:52:50 > 0:52:52I apologise for what happened in theatre,

0:52:52 > 0:52:54I can promise you it will not happen again,

0:52:54 > 0:52:57but I'd appreciate it if you'd stay out of my personal life.

0:52:57 > 0:52:59- If that's what you want. - Yes. Thank you.

0:53:10 > 0:53:12Well done, Dr Digby.

0:53:13 > 0:53:17It's always a little bit easier when they're unconscious.

0:53:18 > 0:53:20What happened?

0:53:20 > 0:53:24Respiratory depression caused by the fentanyl.

0:53:24 > 0:53:26We removed these from your back.

0:53:26 > 0:53:29We also repaired the hernia.

0:53:29 > 0:53:31You operated on me?

0:53:31 > 0:53:32Mr Malick did.

0:53:32 > 0:53:34And I didn't die.

0:53:36 > 0:53:37You're welcome.

0:53:40 > 0:53:42So I am human?

0:53:42 > 0:53:44You are, yeah.

0:53:46 > 0:53:49It's not that bad being human, is it?

0:53:49 > 0:53:51I've never been very good at it.

0:53:53 > 0:53:56I think quite a few people feel like that from time to time.

0:53:56 > 0:53:57Really?

0:53:57 > 0:54:00Yeah, guarantee it.

0:54:00 > 0:54:01Why do people die?

0:54:04 > 0:54:07I suppose...it's the natural order.

0:54:07 > 0:54:09But I miss them.

0:54:12 > 0:54:15We're going to get you some help, Mr Szczepanski.

0:54:15 > 0:54:17You pronounce it perfectly.

0:54:26 > 0:54:28How did I do?

0:54:28 > 0:54:30What? No salute?

0:54:33 > 0:54:35I'm teasing, Dr Digby.

0:54:35 > 0:54:37Can't you see I've got my teasing face on?

0:54:37 > 0:54:39No, I must've missed it.

0:54:40 > 0:54:44Well, there's some good news and there's some bad news.

0:54:44 > 0:54:46What would you like to hear first?

0:54:47 > 0:54:49The bad.

0:54:54 > 0:54:58Your lungs were flooded, what's called a pulmonary oedema.

0:54:58 > 0:55:01We had to operate. You're going to be OK.

0:55:01 > 0:55:03Heart rate and B/P are normal.

0:55:05 > 0:55:07Are you OK?

0:55:09 > 0:55:10We're going to be fine.

0:55:10 > 0:55:12Is everything all right?

0:55:12 > 0:55:15Professor Hope gave me a bit of a dressing down.

0:55:15 > 0:55:16Same here.

0:55:16 > 0:55:19He said I've jeopardised my chance at the F1 prize.

0:55:22 > 0:55:24I just can't get it right, can I?

0:55:32 > 0:55:34But there are other ways of going about it.

0:55:34 > 0:55:40Stop arguing. It's done, and it was the right thing to do.

0:55:40 > 0:55:43Do you know what this is? This is a Police Protection Order

0:55:43 > 0:55:46stopping me from taking my own child home.

0:55:46 > 0:55:49It's just until they get to the bottom of his condition.

0:55:51 > 0:55:52I'm a good mother.

0:56:04 > 0:56:08So what's the big surprise that couldn't wait till tomorrow?

0:56:14 > 0:56:15Trial basis.

0:56:26 > 0:56:28You got my favourite.

0:56:35 > 0:56:36- Oh, dear.- Malick marked me down

0:56:36 > 0:56:39for taking several attempts at the venepuncture.

0:56:39 > 0:56:42Well, that's not your fault.

0:56:42 > 0:56:44Alas, The Malick's not to be reasoned with.

0:56:46 > 0:56:49There's always next time.

0:56:49 > 0:56:51Next time?

0:56:51 > 0:56:53You don't understand.

0:56:53 > 0:56:56Being an F1 is like being in a feeding frenzy in the wild.

0:56:56 > 0:56:59All of us trying to grab what few morsels there are.

0:56:59 > 0:57:02And the F1 prize, that's a tasty morsel, is it?

0:57:02 > 0:57:07That's the tastiest. And Gemma, she's like a...a wolverine.

0:57:07 > 0:57:08Your nemesis.

0:57:08 > 0:57:12Exactly. I just...I just have to get that prize.

0:57:12 > 0:57:14I have to be number one.

0:57:14 > 0:57:18Well. Maybe you just need a bit of perspective.

0:57:19 > 0:57:21It is just a prize.

0:57:21 > 0:57:24And you're just a nurse, so you wouldn't understand.
