0:00:38 > 0:00:41You're supposed to be on compassionate leave.
0:00:41 > 0:00:43- I'd rather be working. - On the day of Tara's funeral?
0:00:43 > 0:00:48It would be best practise to test for leukaemia.
0:00:48 > 0:00:51- I've got cancer? - Yeah, but we can treat it.
0:00:51 > 0:00:53Her's was the only body they never found.
0:00:53 > 0:00:55But I still know they killed her.
0:00:55 > 0:00:58I know you want to be allowed to die but...
0:00:58 > 0:01:03if you don't say where Simone Harris is right now, it won't be up to me.
0:01:03 > 0:01:05We took her home.
0:01:05 > 0:01:08She's gone into VF. Stand clear.
0:01:08 > 0:01:11No resuss. We stand by the advance directive.
0:01:11 > 0:01:13I hope to hell everything went by the book today because
0:01:13 > 0:01:17the last thing we need is that psychopath causing chaos from beyond the grave.
0:01:38 > 0:01:40Morning, sleepy-head.
0:01:40 > 0:01:43- Ow... - Is that cannula hurting?
0:01:43 > 0:01:46It's really annoying. When's it coming off?
0:01:46 > 0:01:48- It shouldn't be too long now.- When?
0:01:50 > 0:01:55- Now, you've got your blood tests at 11, haven't you?- Where's Jen?
0:01:55 > 0:01:57- Who's Jen? - She used to be in that bed.
0:02:01 > 0:02:04I guess they must have said she could go home.
0:02:10 > 0:02:12- Ah, morning.- Morning.
0:02:12 > 0:02:16- Good time last night?- Not exactly historic, but I've had worse.
0:02:16 > 0:02:19Rumour has it you left Albie's with Mary-Claire again.
0:02:19 > 0:02:21Go on somewhere else, did you?
0:02:21 > 0:02:24Well, if I left, then clearly I went somewhere else. No?
0:02:24 > 0:02:28I meant before you went home. That's assuming you WENT home.
0:02:28 > 0:02:30Oh, I always go home. I like to sleep in my own bed.
0:02:33 > 0:02:35Morning, Mrs Levy.
0:02:35 > 0:02:37Oh, I didn't hear you get up this morning.
0:02:37 > 0:02:39Helen had an early meeting
0:02:39 > 0:02:42and I didn't want Rachel to wake up without one of us there.
0:02:42 > 0:02:46- So what time did you leave? - About half five, I think.
0:02:46 > 0:02:48Sacha, you can't keep doing this. You need some time off.
0:02:48 > 0:02:50It's fine. Honestly.
0:02:50 > 0:02:53OK, the most important thing is that Rachel can see that
0:02:53 > 0:02:56everything is carrying on exactly as normal. OK?
0:02:59 > 0:03:01Jac...
0:03:01 > 0:03:02Jac!
0:03:12 > 0:03:14You know it's polite to knock.
0:03:14 > 0:03:17I can't believe a woman in your condition can still out-run me.
0:03:17 > 0:03:20- What condition?- Seriously? We still doing the whole denial thing?
0:03:20 > 0:03:22I don't see how it's any of your business.
0:03:22 > 0:03:25Trust me, there's 100 things I'd rather be thinking about
0:03:25 > 0:03:26than the status of your womb.
0:03:26 > 0:03:30- Well then, maybe you should.- I can't keep lying to my best friend.
0:03:31 > 0:03:34I don't even know what's going to happen yet.
0:03:34 > 0:03:36Here. I'll draw you a picture.
0:03:42 > 0:03:45How long do you think you can keep this a secret, Jac?
0:03:45 > 0:03:48- I've been bleeding.- What? How long? - What difference does it make?
0:03:48 > 0:03:51It's over. It's not going to happen. So you can forget all about it.
0:03:51 > 0:03:53A bit of bleeding is perfectly normal...
0:03:53 > 0:03:55I'm a doctor. I know how it works.
0:04:02 > 0:04:05This is Betty Hutchings. Betty's 79,
0:04:05 > 0:04:07and was in an RTC with her husband.
0:04:07 > 0:04:09Bert? Where's Bert?
0:04:09 > 0:04:13- Do we know where...? - They cut her out of the car first,
0:04:13 > 0:04:17so he's either still in the motor, on his way to the ED, or in the ED.
0:04:17 > 0:04:20OK, I'll go and see what I can find out.
0:04:20 > 0:04:23OK, Betty, you look like you've been in the wars. What happened?
0:04:23 > 0:04:28I don't know. We were going to the park, I think.
0:04:28 > 0:04:32We had a thermos and some sandwiches, Bert and me. Fish paste.
0:04:32 > 0:04:36- Bert's my hus...husband.- Mm-hmm.
0:04:37 > 0:04:42- I think I've been in an accident? - All right. Don't worry about it.
0:04:42 > 0:04:46I'm Mr Levy and we're going to be taking very good care of you.
0:04:46 > 0:04:48SHE GASPS TEARFULLY
0:04:48 > 0:04:50Oh, thank you!
0:04:51 > 0:04:54Anyone ever tell you you have a lovely smile?
0:04:54 > 0:04:57Now now, Betty, you'll make me blush.
0:04:57 > 0:05:00Questionable judgment would support a suspected head injury.
0:05:00 > 0:05:04- Thank you, Dr Tressler.- Sacha, you need to keep an eye on the time.
0:05:04 > 0:05:07- Rachel's bloods.- Thank you.
0:05:09 > 0:05:11Jac, I booked you an appointment with Mr T.
0:05:11 > 0:05:13- Told him it was urgent. - An appointment for what?
0:05:13 > 0:05:16- Look, at least you'll know for sure one way or another.- Know what?
0:05:18 > 0:05:22Um... Bed 4. There's still some residual pleural effusion.
0:05:22 > 0:05:25I reckon we should do another chest X-ray before we discharge her,
0:05:25 > 0:05:27- just to be on the safe side. - Yeah, makes sense to me.
0:05:32 > 0:05:33Four o'clock.
0:05:38 > 0:05:40I'm looking for my wife.
0:05:40 > 0:05:42OK, I'm a doctor. Why don't you let me have a look at you first?
0:05:42 > 0:05:44I just want to see my wife. Betty Hutchings.
0:05:44 > 0:05:46They said she was in here. This is AAU?
0:05:46 > 0:05:48Yeah, you're Bert, right?
0:05:48 > 0:05:50- OK, you're supposed to be in the ED.- How is she?
0:05:50 > 0:05:53- Nobody's telling me anything. - She's just over there.
0:05:53 > 0:05:55She's with the doctor, she's absolutely fine. Look...
0:05:58 > 0:06:00Let me guess. Bert, right?
0:06:00 > 0:06:05Oh, oh, my love. Look at you. Oh, I'm so sorry.
0:06:05 > 0:06:08Where've you been?
0:06:08 > 0:06:12- What am I doing here? - You're in hospital, love.
0:06:12 > 0:06:14We were in a little accident.
0:06:14 > 0:06:18It's all right. You can leave us now. I can take it from here.
0:06:18 > 0:06:20I think that's rather unlikely,
0:06:20 > 0:06:23unless you're a qualified doctor with neuro experience.
0:06:23 > 0:06:25I don't think I care for your tone, young man!
0:06:27 > 0:06:31I've spoken to the lab and we're going to get the results rushed through as fast as we can.
0:06:31 > 0:06:35- We appreciate that. - I know how tough the waiting can be.
0:06:35 > 0:06:36And after that?
0:06:36 > 0:06:41Let's see. Once we know how Rachel's responded to the chemo.
0:06:42 > 0:06:44- I know it's not much fun. - I hate it.
0:06:44 > 0:06:46It makes me feel sick and it's given me this.
0:06:46 > 0:06:50I'm afraid that's just a normal side effect. It'll go.
0:06:50 > 0:06:54Hey, I know it's horrible. But it's making you better.
0:06:54 > 0:06:56And that's the most important thing, isn't it?
0:06:56 > 0:06:59- Can I go after this?- Go where?
0:06:59 > 0:07:02It's the last day before study leave, the leavers do pranks.
0:07:02 > 0:07:05- It's really fun.- I'm sorry, darling, but I'm afraid you can't.
0:07:05 > 0:07:09- Everyone's talking about it and I'll be the only one who's not going.- I'm so sorry.
0:07:09 > 0:07:11PAGER BEEPS
0:07:14 > 0:07:17- I'm needed on AAU.- Sure.
0:07:18 > 0:07:21You're doing so well. OK? Thank you.
0:07:21 > 0:07:25If I was that sick, I wouldn't be able to walk, would I?
0:07:25 > 0:07:27Come on, now, Bert. See it from our point of view.
0:07:27 > 0:07:30- Everything all right in here? - Yes, this is Mr Hutchings, Betty's husband.
0:07:30 > 0:07:33Bert was being triaged on the ED when he did a runner.
0:07:33 > 0:07:36Put me next to Betty and you can do all the examining you like.
0:07:36 > 0:07:39Mr Hutchings has a suspected upper limb fracture
0:07:39 > 0:07:41and internal bleeding, but he won't let us touch him.
0:07:41 > 0:07:45- Why can't we just...?- This lady has a suspected vertebral fracture,
0:07:45 > 0:07:48- so we're not too keen to move her. - What about the bed next to her?- AAU.
0:07:48 > 0:07:51Are you in charge round here? Because these children
0:07:51 > 0:07:53don't seem to be listening to a word I say.
0:07:53 > 0:07:56Now, listen. This isn't complicated, OK? I'll talk to Chrissie.
0:07:56 > 0:07:58Right, we're going to play musical beds.
0:07:58 > 0:08:02We're going to move you to the bed next to your wife as soon as we can.
0:08:02 > 0:08:04Oh, thank you. At last - someone with a bit of sense!
0:08:04 > 0:08:08Meanwhile, why don't you let Dr Wilde take a quick look at you?
0:08:08 > 0:08:09I'd prefer a chap to do it, if you don't mind.
0:08:09 > 0:08:11I know it's old-fashioned of me,
0:08:11 > 0:08:14but I wouldn't feel comfortable with a young woman.
0:08:14 > 0:08:17I don't blame you, Bert. You don't know where she's been.
0:08:17 > 0:08:20Well, we all know where you've been.
0:08:20 > 0:08:23Right, I'm going to go and check up on Betty. OK?
0:08:23 > 0:08:25That was Paeds Oncology. Rachel's gone missing.
0:08:37 > 0:08:39- Morning, Mr Malick.- Hi.
0:08:40 > 0:08:43- How's the hero of the hospital? - I'm not a hero.
0:08:43 > 0:08:46And actually I'm kind of done talking about it, all right?
0:08:46 > 0:08:48I'm just glad you're OK, is all.
0:08:48 > 0:08:50- Why wouldn't I be?- You've been off the ward nearly a week.
0:08:50 > 0:08:56- Yeah, well, I...took some time off. - And you didn't call me.
0:08:56 > 0:09:00I was beginning to think something must've happened to you.
0:09:00 > 0:09:03It's the only explanation I can think of.
0:09:03 > 0:09:06- Cos I know you wouldn't have just used me.- Look, I just...
0:09:06 > 0:09:10- You're so easy to tease!- Can we not do this? Not here, all right?
0:09:10 > 0:09:14Of course, absolutely. I understand. We're at work. I get it.
0:09:17 > 0:09:20I was on the bus this morning when I just sort of conked out.
0:09:20 > 0:09:21Didn't know what happened,
0:09:21 > 0:09:25but this lady said one minute I was standing there, and the next - boom!
0:09:25 > 0:09:29- Hit the ground like a sack of spuds.- Has this happened before?
0:09:29 > 0:09:31- Couple of times, yeah. - Show me your hands.
0:09:34 > 0:09:38- Blueness of skin - Raynaud's phenomenon. Any coughing?- Some.
0:09:38 > 0:09:42- Have you lost any weight lately? - A few pounds, yeah. Eve!
0:09:42 > 0:09:43Come over here.
0:09:44 > 0:09:47- My daughter. - What is she doing here?
0:09:47 > 0:09:50She was with me when I collapsed. What else was I supposed to do?
0:09:50 > 0:09:53- Don't we have a creche or something? - Yes, I'll sort it out.
0:09:53 > 0:09:56No! Thank you, she's fine here.
0:09:56 > 0:09:59- How old is she?- Coming on four. - And you're 18?
0:09:59 > 0:10:02Nice work. Your parents must be really proud.
0:10:04 > 0:10:06- This your work?- Come again?
0:10:06 > 0:10:09The fact there's suddenly a child in the middle of the ward.
0:10:09 > 0:10:13- Is that supposed to be funny, or clever?- Oh, I wish I was that good.
0:10:13 > 0:10:14She has infective endocarditis.
0:10:14 > 0:10:18It doesn't need a consultant to work that out. The patient's all yours.
0:10:18 > 0:10:19Get that kid off the ward.
0:10:20 > 0:10:21Rachel!
0:10:28 > 0:10:30I've been looking everywhere for you.
0:10:30 > 0:10:33- I didn't ask you to. - I've been going out of my mind.
0:10:33 > 0:10:34What are you doing out here?
0:10:34 > 0:10:37I've been stuck in there for ten days with all those sick kids
0:10:37 > 0:10:40staring at their childish posters and their stupid walls
0:10:40 > 0:10:43and I can't stand it any more. I just want to be normal again.
0:10:43 > 0:10:48- And you will be, darling. You will be.- When?- Really soon, OK?
0:10:48 > 0:10:51- You don't know that.- Of course I do. Look, you're doing so well.
0:10:51 > 0:10:54Stop saying that! It doesn't mean anything.
0:10:54 > 0:10:57- I'm not doing anything well. I'm just lying there.- That's not true.
0:10:57 > 0:11:01- I think you've been amazing. - You don't get it, do you?
0:11:01 > 0:11:02Why can't you just tell the truth?
0:11:02 > 0:11:05- Oh Rachel, I always tell you the truth.- No, you don't.
0:11:05 > 0:11:09You and Mum are just the same. You like to pretend that everything's fine. Well, it's not fine.
0:11:09 > 0:11:11I'm not a kid any more. I know what's wrong with me.
0:11:11 > 0:11:15- Yes, you're sick. OK? But you're getting better.- No, I'm not!
0:11:15 > 0:11:18- I'm going to end up bald, puffy-faced...- Not necessarily...
0:11:18 > 0:11:20I'm going to look like a freak and no-one will talk to me any more.
0:11:20 > 0:11:24- And I'm going to have no friends. - Of course you'll still have friends. - Stop pretending!
0:11:24 > 0:11:28- Please, Dad. For once, just stop lying.- I'm not lying to you.
0:11:28 > 0:11:33- I would never lie to you. - Fine, then. Am I going to die?
0:11:41 > 0:11:45No, no. Of course you're not.
0:11:47 > 0:11:49Now, listen to me.
0:11:50 > 0:11:55I know it's horrible, all right? But every single drop of chemo
0:11:55 > 0:11:58means you're a step closer to getting better, OK?
0:11:58 > 0:12:04You've just got to hang on in there a little bit longer, OK?
0:12:12 > 0:12:16Chantelle. Do you remember the conversation we had about music?
0:12:16 > 0:12:19- Sorry?- Chantelle! Digby. Dr Copeland.
0:12:19 > 0:12:21We have a ward full of patients.
0:12:21 > 0:12:23We don't have time to stand around and gossip.
0:12:23 > 0:12:25- Get back to work. - Sorry, I was just...- Now!
0:12:32 > 0:12:34Don't worry. I didn't say anything.
0:12:36 > 0:12:39I've changed address a lot. Maybe they got lost.
0:12:39 > 0:12:41Could you be under a different name?
0:12:41 > 0:12:43Nah. Guess I've always been very healthy.
0:12:43 > 0:12:46OK, if you change position for me, my love.
0:12:48 > 0:12:51- See what I mean? - What do her bloods say?
0:12:51 > 0:12:55Anaemia, raised white blood cells.
0:12:55 > 0:12:59- I'm going to go and check on those records.- Be right back.
0:12:59 > 0:13:04What's this fellow's name? Hugo? Hugo is a, wait a minute, he's a...
0:13:04 > 0:13:08Rhinoceros? No. Is he a...hippopotamus?
0:13:08 > 0:13:11- He's an elephant.- You're a lot smarter than me... What?
0:13:11 > 0:13:14What are you looking at me like that for?
0:13:14 > 0:13:17Her symptoms aren't consistent with endocarditis.
0:13:17 > 0:13:19- I think this is more Jac's area. - Really?
0:13:19 > 0:13:21Well, I'm sure you're more than capable of...
0:13:21 > 0:13:24No, I really think YOU should run the results by her.
0:13:26 > 0:13:30- Fine. Take the elephant.- Thank you. - Bye-bye.- Bye-bye.
0:13:30 > 0:13:32Hey ya, how are you?
0:13:32 > 0:13:34- Rachel's OK then?- Absolutely fine.
0:13:34 > 0:13:36- You don't feel she... - Honestly, I'm her dad.
0:13:36 > 0:13:39I know what she needs. I've got this. OK?
0:13:40 > 0:13:42So having a picnic?
0:13:43 > 0:13:45Was supposed to be in the park.
0:13:45 > 0:13:50- We have a favourite bench by the lake, don't we, love?- No Scotch egg?
0:13:51 > 0:13:53Not really a picnic without a Scotch egg.
0:13:53 > 0:13:57We like to eat healthy, Betty and me.
0:13:57 > 0:14:01Almonds, carrot juice, blueberries, green tea.
0:14:01 > 0:14:03Isn't that right, love?
0:14:03 > 0:14:08Did we bring the tea? It's in the...
0:14:08 > 0:14:14- Thermos.- That's right. The thermos.
0:14:14 > 0:14:16Can we get rid of this thing?
0:14:16 > 0:14:18And when can we talk about getting out?
0:14:18 > 0:14:21We don't like to be away from home too long.
0:14:21 > 0:14:23I'm going to go and chase up Betty's results now.
0:14:23 > 0:14:25Thank you, Nurse. You're very kind.
0:14:27 > 0:14:30Well, he's had a personality transformation.
0:14:30 > 0:14:33He just wanted to be next to his wife. I can understand that.
0:14:33 > 0:14:35Can you do me a favour?
0:14:35 > 0:14:37Clear that side room for an isolation case, please?
0:14:37 > 0:14:40Quick as you can, thank you. Thank you.
0:14:40 > 0:14:41Dr Wilde. Got a job for you.
0:14:41 > 0:14:44- Uh-huh.- We need to clear the side room for an isolation case.
0:14:44 > 0:14:47It needs to be totally decontaminated. Walls and floors.
0:14:47 > 0:14:50If you need a hand, see if you can track down Mary-Claire.
0:14:50 > 0:14:52Why, is she good on her hands and knees?
0:14:54 > 0:14:56I find that sort of talk very disrespectful.
0:14:56 > 0:14:59I just thought the two of you might work well together.
0:14:59 > 0:15:01You know, as a pair of scrubbers.
0:15:05 > 0:15:07Er...music, eh?
0:15:07 > 0:15:09Hmmm?
0:15:09 > 0:15:11- I was just saying... - Morning, Keller Ward.
0:15:11 > 0:15:12Mary-Claire. What are you doing here?
0:15:12 > 0:15:14I'm on the hunt for some half-decent biscuits.
0:15:14 > 0:15:17I've been at this course since 10:30 this morning,
0:15:17 > 0:15:19and this is the first break we've had.
0:15:19 > 0:15:20I'm ready to eat my own arm off.
0:15:20 > 0:15:25- Right, what course would that be? - Ahhh! Infection control.
0:15:25 > 0:15:28It's like watching paint dry, only even less interesting.
0:15:30 > 0:15:33Speaking of dullsville, is that a puzzle magazine?
0:15:33 > 0:15:37- What are you, like, 90?- Oh, they're brilliant. I love a word search.
0:15:37 > 0:15:39She does them every day. Used to do them with her grandmother.
0:15:39 > 0:15:42- Keeps the brain active. - Keeps the brain active!
0:15:42 > 0:15:44What is the point of that?
0:15:44 > 0:15:47It's not like you'll meet some cute guy who checks out your brain.
0:15:47 > 0:15:50Well, there's more to life than cute guys.
0:15:50 > 0:15:53I don't think that the super-hot doctor that I'm seeing right now
0:15:53 > 0:15:55asked me out just because I'm smart.
0:15:55 > 0:15:57I can certainly believe that.
0:15:57 > 0:16:01- Well, maybe some guys are deeper than others.- What, like Rhys?
0:16:03 > 0:16:07- He's changed a lot since you last saw him.- Right.
0:16:07 > 0:16:10Although I'm sitting next to a staff nurse from Neuro on this course,
0:16:10 > 0:16:13and she reckons he's doing half the nurses in Paeds. Anyway...
0:16:13 > 0:16:15Thank you for the custard creams.
0:16:15 > 0:16:18Don't mind if I take the whole packet, do you?
0:16:21 > 0:16:25Clever girl. I told you you'd be OK.
0:16:25 > 0:16:27So I can take her home now?
0:16:27 > 0:16:31I'm afraid Mr Levy wants us to keep an eye on her for a bit longer.
0:16:31 > 0:16:33The doctor says you're doing well.
0:16:33 > 0:16:35Why don't you have some carrot juice?
0:16:35 > 0:16:37You love your carrot juice.
0:16:37 > 0:16:40What are you talking about? It's disgusting.
0:16:41 > 0:16:44Why can't I have a cup of tea?
0:16:44 > 0:16:46Where did you put the...the...
0:16:46 > 0:16:48Thermos, love. It's in the car.
0:16:49 > 0:16:53Betty, you seem to be forgetting certain words, certain things.
0:16:53 > 0:16:57- Now, was it like this before the accident?- I don't know.
0:16:57 > 0:17:01You wait till you get to our age. You'll start forgetting things too.
0:17:02 > 0:17:04Excuse me a minute.
0:17:04 > 0:17:05What's this?
0:17:08 > 0:17:11Seeing Bert and Betty next to each other gave me the idea.
0:17:11 > 0:17:13I thought it would cheer her up being down here with us,
0:17:13 > 0:17:15instead of stuck up there on the kids' ward.
0:17:15 > 0:17:18- Does Nathan know about this?- Yeah, it's fine. Don't worry about it.
0:17:18 > 0:17:21Look, if she decides to do another runner, we can keep an eye on her.
0:17:21 > 0:17:23It's the perfect solution. Isn't it great?
0:17:23 > 0:17:26Old people, car accidents, drunks.
0:17:26 > 0:17:28It's way better than being around sick kids.
0:17:33 > 0:17:35Mo thinks it's more your area than hers.
0:17:35 > 0:17:37Why do you look so suspicious?
0:17:37 > 0:17:41- I'm not.- What possible ulterior motive could Mo have for...
0:17:41 > 0:17:43I'm not saying there is one.
0:17:43 > 0:17:45Why do I get the feeling there's something weird going on?
0:17:47 > 0:17:49Mo's right. It's not endocarditis.
0:17:49 > 0:17:53These symptoms are more consistent with a primary tumour in the heart.
0:17:53 > 0:17:56- Run an echo and I'll have a look at it.- Great.
0:17:58 > 0:18:02- And make sure that brat's off the ward.- Eve? She's no bother.
0:18:02 > 0:18:05This is a surgical ward. Not a nursery.
0:18:05 > 0:18:08- Surgeons and children should never mix.- I'll see what I can do.
0:18:10 > 0:18:14- You OK?- Fine.- This is about the Rhys thing, isn't it?
0:18:15 > 0:18:19Just seemed to me that you didn't really like him that much in the first place, did you?
0:18:19 > 0:18:20I don't really want to talk about it.
0:18:25 > 0:18:28I just meant that after what happened at New Year's Eve,
0:18:28 > 0:18:30you can't be that surprised.
0:18:30 > 0:18:33A leopard doesn't change its socks and all that.
0:18:33 > 0:18:36So...you're saying that you think I'm stupid for trusting him,
0:18:36 > 0:18:40- is that what you're saying? - No, no, no. Not stupid, exactly.
0:18:40 > 0:18:43It's more naive, I suppose, given the evidence available to you...
0:18:43 > 0:18:47- Arthur. Can you do me a favour? - Yeah, yeah. Absolutely.
0:18:47 > 0:18:51Can you just not talk to me, please?
0:18:52 > 0:18:54Right. Yep. OK.
0:18:57 > 0:19:01- Acute myeloid leukaemia.- OK.
0:19:01 > 0:19:04- Is it a bad kind? - There are worse kinds.
0:19:04 > 0:19:06But I'll bet it's not a whole lot of fun.
0:19:06 > 0:19:09- Chemo?- I hate it.- Course you do.
0:19:09 > 0:19:13It's evil. It can make you puke. It can make you bald.
0:19:13 > 0:19:14It can make you fat.
0:19:16 > 0:19:21But given the choice... I'd take the chemo.
0:19:25 > 0:19:29- Were you just eavesdropping on us? That's a little bit creepy.- So...
0:19:29 > 0:19:32Would you and Mary-Claire like to have kids?
0:19:32 > 0:19:35The only way that's going to happen is if she drugs me,
0:19:35 > 0:19:38chains me to a bed, whips out a turkey baster,
0:19:38 > 0:19:41and milks me like a pedigree Friesian.
0:19:41 > 0:19:44Which, knowing Mary-Claire, I wouldn't entirely rule out.
0:19:44 > 0:19:49- Wow. I actually feel physically sick right now.- You asked!
0:19:49 > 0:19:54Grace, you are a superstar. Yes, OK. I'll see you then. Thank you.
0:19:54 > 0:19:56Bye.
0:19:56 > 0:19:58Do you think you should be looking at that?
0:19:58 > 0:20:02She was so upset about the fact that she's missing all her friends,
0:20:02 > 0:20:05I figured... why not bring them here?
0:20:05 > 0:20:07So I've found a couple of healthy specimens.
0:20:07 > 0:20:10They should be here in about an hour.
0:20:10 > 0:20:12Do you think that's professional behaviour?
0:20:12 > 0:20:15What about if Ric or Serena, or even Hanssen walk in?
0:20:16 > 0:20:20I hope they would understand that I am taking time out
0:20:20 > 0:20:23from my busy schedule to do something for my sick daughter.
0:20:23 > 0:20:26I mean, who's it hurting?
0:20:26 > 0:20:29- When was the last time you checked Betty Hutchings in Bed 1?- Oh, God!
0:20:29 > 0:20:31Betty. How's she doing?
0:20:31 > 0:20:33I am sure she's in the early stages of dementia
0:20:33 > 0:20:35and he is in complete denial, poor love.
0:20:40 > 0:20:44You have a myxoma. A growth. It's in the left atrium of your heart.
0:20:44 > 0:20:47- A tumour?- It could be hereditary.
0:20:47 > 0:20:52- Is there any history of tumours in your family?- I don't...I don't know.
0:20:55 > 0:20:56So what happens now?
0:20:56 > 0:20:58There's no reason for you not to make a full recovery,
0:20:58 > 0:21:00but we need to remove it as soon as we can.
0:21:00 > 0:21:03An operation? What about Eve?
0:21:03 > 0:21:08- You'll need to find someone to look after her.- Like who?- Her father?
0:21:08 > 0:21:13- He's not around.- There's a shock(!) - I'm not leaving her on her own.
0:21:13 > 0:21:15I'm not suggesting you leave her on her own.
0:21:15 > 0:21:17We have a creche with a fully trained staff.
0:21:17 > 0:21:18I can't leave her with strangers.
0:21:18 > 0:21:21- They're not going to know how to look after her.- How hard can it be?
0:21:21 > 0:21:23She gets scared around people she doesn't know.
0:21:23 > 0:21:26- At this point, you really don't have a lot of choice.- Yeah, I do.
0:21:26 > 0:21:28I can say no, can't I?
0:21:35 > 0:21:37Bert, here's your discharge form.
0:21:39 > 0:21:43- So when can I take my Betty home? - Bert, can I ask you a question?
0:21:44 > 0:21:46How long's Betty been like this?
0:21:48 > 0:21:50I just sign here, do I?
0:21:50 > 0:21:53Yeah, just there.
0:21:53 > 0:21:56It's just that with all the crossword puzzles, you know,
0:21:56 > 0:21:59and the brain-boosting foods. I think I know what you're trying to do.
0:22:02 > 0:22:05I read this piece in the papers.
0:22:05 > 0:22:08Says you could fight...you know...
0:22:08 > 0:22:10by doing certain things, so...
0:22:11 > 0:22:14I threw out all the aluminium pans.
0:22:14 > 0:22:16Cost me a fortune to get new ones.
0:22:16 > 0:22:20And we've been eating all this disgusting stuff.
0:22:20 > 0:22:23If I have to face another bowl of broccoli soup...
0:22:23 > 0:22:25Bert, there are people who can help.
0:22:25 > 0:22:28- Drugs that have been shown to... - We're coping perfectly well.
0:22:28 > 0:22:31I just know that caring for someone can be exhausting.
0:22:31 > 0:22:33- I'm fine. - Emotionally as well as physically.
0:22:34 > 0:22:37- What's she said to you? - Who?
0:22:39 > 0:22:44It was just a moment. I just closed my eyes for a second...
0:22:46 > 0:22:48Normally I have the car window open.
0:22:50 > 0:22:52But Betty feels the cold so...
0:22:54 > 0:22:56I suppose you'll have to tell the police now.
0:22:58 > 0:23:01- No-one else was hurt? - No, no, no. Thank God.
0:23:01 > 0:23:03I'm not going to tell anyone, all right?
0:23:03 > 0:23:05But you have to let us help you.
0:23:08 > 0:23:11That was Nathan. Rachel's bloods are in. OK, thank you.
0:23:15 > 0:23:17Oh, I've booked theatre.
0:23:17 > 0:23:22- Dr Lamond's on the gas, and Dr Valentine's assisting.- For what?
0:23:22 > 0:23:27- The myxoma.- Well, that's no use if she's refusing to have the op, is it?
0:23:27 > 0:23:30- Actually, I've managed to convince her.- How?
0:23:30 > 0:23:33By finding her a babysitter that she can trust and depend on
0:23:33 > 0:23:35- to keep Eve entertained for a couple of hours.- Who?
0:23:38 > 0:23:40- Uncle Jonny.- What?
0:23:40 > 0:23:42It's all right. I've found cover for the ward.
0:23:42 > 0:23:44You're supposed to be a nurse, not a babysitter.
0:23:44 > 0:23:47It'll be fun, won't it, Eve? Mm-hmm!
0:23:47 > 0:23:49- Could you just...- Sorry.
0:23:51 > 0:23:53- What time is it booked for? - Four o'clock.
0:23:53 > 0:23:56- It was the only slot I could get. - Four o'clock? What for?
0:23:56 > 0:23:58I'll be operating on the myxoma.
0:23:58 > 0:24:01Come on, Evey. Let's go and find your mummy.
0:24:03 > 0:24:06- You can't do four o'clock. You're seeing Mr T.- No, I'm not.
0:24:12 > 0:24:15I have to stress, chemotherapy is only one approach,
0:24:15 > 0:24:18and just because this first course didn't work...
0:24:18 > 0:24:20- When can we start the next course? - Soon.
0:24:20 > 0:24:21Although in my opinion,
0:24:21 > 0:24:26the second round is unlikely to be any more effective than the first.
0:24:26 > 0:24:30We should also be thinking about finding an alternative treatment.
0:24:32 > 0:24:35You're not suggesting a bone marrow donor?
0:24:37 > 0:24:39I know this is a lot to take in,
0:24:39 > 0:24:42but it would be a good idea to start discussing the possibility
0:24:42 > 0:24:46with Rachel and the rest of the family sooner rather than later.
0:24:48 > 0:24:52We'll, um...be discharging her as an outpatient today.
0:24:52 > 0:24:55I think I'd like to tell her, if that's OK?
0:24:58 > 0:25:02For what it's worth, I do appreciate how hard this must be for you.
0:25:05 > 0:25:06Thank you.
0:25:06 > 0:25:10But we're a family and we're going to get through this together.
0:25:11 > 0:25:14As long as Rachel knows that she's not on her own.
0:25:21 > 0:25:22Digby.
0:25:22 > 0:25:24Did I miss the memo or what?
0:25:24 > 0:25:28- Is today the National Do No Work If Your Name's Dr Digby Day?- No, no.
0:25:28 > 0:25:32- I was just...- What was that?
0:25:32 > 0:25:34- Nothing.- Come on, show me.
0:25:37 > 0:25:39Whoa!
0:25:39 > 0:25:43- Is that a mixtape?- No. - Diggers!
0:25:45 > 0:25:47We'll take you down to anaesthetics first,
0:25:47 > 0:25:49and then they'll wheel you through to theatre once...
0:25:49 > 0:25:52Eve normally has her bath at half six.
0:25:53 > 0:25:57Well, I'm sure it's not going to kill her to skip her bath for a night.
0:25:57 > 0:26:01You shouldn't judge people. You don't even know anything about me.
0:26:01 > 0:26:04The only thing I need to know is what's wrong with you.
0:26:04 > 0:26:07Do you know what it's like to be completely on your own?
0:26:07 > 0:26:10When there's no-one in the world you can trust except yourself?
0:26:10 > 0:26:13Well, I'm never going to let Eve feel like that.
0:26:13 > 0:26:16Cos whatever happens, I'm going to be there for her.
0:26:16 > 0:26:18I might not be clever.
0:26:18 > 0:26:22I might just look like some chav to you. But I know I'm a good mum.
0:26:23 > 0:26:27So I don't care what you or anyone else thinks.
0:26:27 > 0:26:29Given that we have no medical notes for you,
0:26:29 > 0:26:32I'll ask Dr Valentine to come and take a full history.
0:26:32 > 0:26:34Just to check there's nothing we've missed, OK?
0:26:38 > 0:26:41Mr Levy? Mr Levy?
0:26:44 > 0:26:46Betty and Bert...?
0:26:49 > 0:26:53I've paged occupational health to get her assessed for dementia,
0:26:53 > 0:26:56see if we can arrange some home help maybe.
0:26:56 > 0:27:01- Otherwise there's not much more we can do.- Right you are.
0:27:04 > 0:27:05GIRLS GIGGLING
0:27:05 > 0:27:09Someone came into school dressed up as an egg.
0:27:09 > 0:27:12But there wasn't a chicken to go with it, so it didn't make sense.
0:27:12 > 0:27:14- Like, it was so obvious! - THEY LAUGH
0:27:17 > 0:27:21- That's what I thought.- It was like a broken egg, it had arms and legs.
0:27:23 > 0:27:25- Honestly. It's just for a friend. - I'm not buying it.
0:27:25 > 0:27:27You don't make a mixtape for a friend.
0:27:27 > 0:27:31Unless you're hoping to be more than friends. Mm-mm! Go on, Digby.
0:27:31 > 0:27:34I didn't even know you were capable of having those kind of feelings.
0:27:34 > 0:27:36Do we have to...
0:27:36 > 0:27:40- You know you can get CDs, MP3s now? - Yes, but...
0:27:40 > 0:27:44burning a CD, that's...kind of impersonal.
0:27:44 > 0:27:48- There's an actual art to making a tape.- All right, so what's on it?
0:27:48 > 0:27:51- No, no, no. You don't need to... - Hey, I'm your boss. Hand it over.
0:27:56 > 0:28:00- There's a track listing. - Typed. Nice touch.
0:28:01 > 0:28:04The Prime Minister is... I know this.
0:28:06 > 0:28:08Of course I know who it is. It...
0:28:11 > 0:28:13Who is this man? Why is he being so nosey?
0:28:13 > 0:28:16No more questions, please. You're upsetting my wife.
0:28:16 > 0:28:19Mr Bowker's an occupational therapist, Betty.
0:28:19 > 0:28:21He needs to get an idea of your condition, so we can help you.
0:28:21 > 0:28:23What's he talking about?
0:28:23 > 0:28:26If they know what the problems are,
0:28:26 > 0:28:28they can talk us through the options.
0:28:28 > 0:28:31- SHE CRIES OUT - It hurts. It hurts!
0:28:31 > 0:28:34- What hurts? - SHE COUGHS
0:28:34 > 0:28:37Betty, love?
0:28:37 > 0:28:39What's...what's happening to her?!
0:28:39 > 0:28:42OK, O2, we need a chest CT. Where's Mr Levy?
0:28:48 > 0:28:51What is it with you Levys and your disappearing acts?
0:28:52 > 0:28:54I just needed a bit of time out. That's all.
0:28:56 > 0:28:59So...? What did Nathan say?
0:29:00 > 0:29:05Um, he...wonders if there's any point in even doing another round of chemo.
0:29:07 > 0:29:08Because she responded so well?
0:29:10 > 0:29:12PAGER BEEPS
0:29:15 > 0:29:17Sacha?
0:29:20 > 0:29:23- Very tiny, isn't he? - He's tiny, isn't he?
0:29:23 > 0:29:28Look, and who's that coming over the hill on a great big horse?
0:29:28 > 0:29:33- I don't know.- You don't know? Why, it's only Prince Charming!
0:29:34 > 0:29:36You missed the best bit.
0:29:36 > 0:29:39I did different voices for all seven of the dwarves.
0:29:39 > 0:29:41- I was great, wasn't I?- Yeah.- Yeah!
0:29:41 > 0:29:45Glad to see children are still being fed misogynistic patriarchal lies
0:29:45 > 0:29:47about the female need for co-dependency.
0:29:49 > 0:29:51Have you finished talking to the mum?
0:29:51 > 0:29:55OK. Well, how about we get to the end
0:29:55 > 0:29:57and then I'll take you to see your mummy?
0:29:57 > 0:29:58- Yeah.- Yeah!
0:29:58 > 0:30:01OK, her eyes began to open...
0:30:02 > 0:30:05- You've never been in a hospital before?- True.
0:30:05 > 0:30:07Er, OK, well. Where d'you have your daughter?
0:30:07 > 0:30:10Oh, that was... I had her at home.
0:30:11 > 0:30:15- Just give me your date of birth? - 15th September 1997.
0:30:15 > 0:30:17Got it, lovely.
0:30:17 > 0:30:21Er, hang on. 1997? That means you had your daughter when you were 11.
0:30:21 > 0:30:22What?
0:30:22 > 0:30:25No. I-I had her when I was...
0:30:25 > 0:30:26When I was...
0:30:26 > 0:30:29Wait, what year did I say again? I meant...
0:30:29 > 0:30:31How old are you?
0:30:31 > 0:30:32Lou?
0:30:34 > 0:30:37And if you could just lean forward for me.
0:30:37 > 0:30:39It hurts.
0:30:41 > 0:30:43I think we're dealing with an underlying issue here.
0:30:43 > 0:30:47Before the accident, did you have any conditions that we should know about?
0:30:47 > 0:30:50Like what? I've been healthy all my life.
0:30:51 > 0:30:54A bit of trouble with my feet, but...otherwise I'm...
0:30:54 > 0:30:57It's all right, Betty. Nothing to worry about.
0:30:57 > 0:31:00- We need to get her a CT scan straight away.- I'll chase it up.
0:31:00 > 0:31:04- I'll be going with her.- Says who? - She doesn't go anywhere without me.
0:31:04 > 0:31:07I'm afraid we don't allow relatives anywhere near the CT scanner.
0:31:07 > 0:31:11- Then she's not going. - Don't fuss, Bert.
0:31:11 > 0:31:12I'm not a child.
0:31:12 > 0:31:14You should listen to your wife.
0:31:14 > 0:31:18You might think you're big and clever because you're a consultant and all that,
0:31:18 > 0:31:21but you don't know my wife like I do.
0:31:21 > 0:31:26Your wife clearly has an internal complication which appears to be getting worse by the second.
0:31:26 > 0:31:29So, you can let me take her upstairs and I'll do my best to fix her,
0:31:29 > 0:31:33or you can leave her here... and see what happens.
0:31:33 > 0:31:37Dr Digby has made the all-time worst mixtape since music was invented. Chantelle!
0:31:37 > 0:31:39No, no, do we really need to...?
0:31:39 > 0:31:41Digby's made a tape for a girl he likes.
0:31:41 > 0:31:45- Who?- He won't say. But what would YOU say if a guy gave you this?
0:31:45 > 0:31:48I'd say, "Thanks, but I don't have a cassette player."
0:31:48 > 0:31:50Right, but in terms of what's on there.
0:31:50 > 0:31:53You know, first track - Elvis, Can't Help Falling In Love. Please!
0:31:53 > 0:31:56Oh! I LOVE that song!
0:31:56 > 0:31:59My dad used to sing that when we were younger.
0:31:59 > 0:32:02All right, bad example.
0:32:02 > 0:32:05Ev'ry Time We Say Goodbye - Ella Fitzgerald.
0:32:05 > 0:32:07Don't know that one.
0:32:07 > 0:32:11It's, er, a Cole Porter song. It's one of her very best, both lyrically and melodically.
0:32:11 > 0:32:14It's, erm... Well the Ella Fitzgerald version's got a lot of pathos.
0:32:16 > 0:32:17Never mind.
0:32:19 > 0:32:23It's a shame I don't have a tape-player. I could do with widening my musical taste a bit...
0:32:23 > 0:32:28- Sorry to interrupt. I just wondered if we could discuss a patient for a second.- Sure.
0:32:32 > 0:32:34You're 15 years old?
0:32:36 > 0:32:39- Is Eve really your daughter? - Course she is.
0:32:39 > 0:32:42You understand why we're asking?
0:32:42 > 0:32:44Having a baby at 11...
0:32:44 > 0:32:47It seems...a little unlikely.
0:32:48 > 0:32:52And even if Eve is really your daughter,
0:32:52 > 0:32:56the fact that you're 15 means that we can't operate on you without parental consent...
0:32:56 > 0:33:01- Lou, is there someone I can call for you?- There isn't, OK?
0:33:04 > 0:33:06Lou, we really want to help you.
0:33:07 > 0:33:10But you've got to be totally honest with us.
0:33:10 > 0:33:13Is your name really Louise Johnson?
0:33:15 > 0:33:17What's your real name, sweetheart?
0:33:17 > 0:33:19Louise Milton.
0:33:19 > 0:33:20And, er...
0:33:23 > 0:33:25..is Eve really your daughter?
0:33:27 > 0:33:29I've brought her up.
0:33:29 > 0:33:32I've fed her since she was three weeks old.
0:33:32 > 0:33:34I'm the only mum she's ever known.
0:33:36 > 0:33:37But technically...?
0:33:39 > 0:33:41Biologically?
0:33:41 > 0:33:42My sister.
0:33:45 > 0:33:49Look, I've been meaning to find a moment to tell you, but you were so preoccupied
0:33:49 > 0:33:52with the whole Susannah Harris thing.
0:33:52 > 0:33:53Tell me what?
0:33:55 > 0:33:59Last week my mum... Er, she...deteriorated.
0:34:00 > 0:34:01Nathan, I...
0:34:03 > 0:34:05How's she doing now?
0:34:10 > 0:34:12I'm so sorry.
0:34:14 > 0:34:17- When?- Two days ago.
0:34:19 > 0:34:21Why didn't you tell me?
0:34:25 > 0:34:27I don't know where she is.
0:34:27 > 0:34:31I don't have a number or an address or anything.
0:34:31 > 0:34:33When did you last see her?
0:34:33 > 0:34:35She just left.
0:34:35 > 0:34:37Walked out one day.
0:34:37 > 0:34:40I dunno, two years ago, I suppose.
0:34:40 > 0:34:42That must have been hard for you.
0:34:42 > 0:34:46Are you kidding? Her leaving was the best thing that ever happened to me.
0:34:46 > 0:34:50- Lou...- The only thing she ever cared about was finding her next fix.
0:34:50 > 0:34:52She didn't give a damn about me or Eve.
0:34:52 > 0:34:57Look...why don't you pretend I never told you?
0:34:57 > 0:35:00If I hadn't got my date of birth wrong, you'd never have known!
0:35:00 > 0:35:01We have a duty of care...
0:35:01 > 0:35:04No. No, you don't.
0:35:04 > 0:35:07You're here to make me better, that's all.
0:35:07 > 0:35:10She said she only cares about what's wrong with me, not who I am.
0:35:10 > 0:35:11That was before we knew...
0:35:11 > 0:35:15I'll be 16 in September. That's only a few months away...
0:35:17 > 0:35:19They'll put us both in care.
0:35:21 > 0:35:23What if they send us to two different homes?
0:35:23 > 0:35:25She needs me!
0:35:25 > 0:35:27I'm her mum!
0:35:27 > 0:35:28I'm sorry.
0:35:28 > 0:35:30I trusted you.
0:35:34 > 0:35:36So what happens now?
0:35:36 > 0:35:40- They're going to perform an operation called a lobectomy.- Oh...
0:35:40 > 0:35:45Open her up, run a biopsy, and then we'll get a better idea of what we're looking at.
0:35:47 > 0:35:49HE CHUCKLES
0:35:49 > 0:35:51It's funny really.
0:35:51 > 0:35:53All this time...
0:35:53 > 0:35:56All the crosswords and the broccoli...
0:35:57 > 0:36:01Cos I couldn't bear the thought of her slipping away from me,
0:36:01 > 0:36:05And now... Now I'm going to lose her anyway.
0:36:05 > 0:36:09I know it sounds serious, but it's a relatively routine operation...
0:36:09 > 0:36:10You'll be in there with her?
0:36:10 > 0:36:13No, I'm afraid I can't. It's not my speciality.
0:36:13 > 0:36:19Oh, please, Doc. I can't bear the thought of her being in there with a bunch of strangers, all on her own.
0:36:19 > 0:36:23I know it's a lot to ask, but if there's any way you could...
0:36:24 > 0:36:26I'll see what I can do.
0:36:26 > 0:36:28OK, thank you so much for your help.
0:36:29 > 0:36:32OK, the good news is that Susan is on the Duty Team.
0:36:32 > 0:36:34I happen to know her, she's lovely.
0:36:34 > 0:36:37I'm going to give her a bell and see if she's about.
0:36:37 > 0:36:40She needs that operation now. We don't have time to waste.
0:36:40 > 0:36:44But if we can't get hold of the parents to get consent, then we have to...
0:36:44 > 0:36:48And while we're waiting for the social worker to arrive, her condition could get MUCH worse.
0:36:48 > 0:36:51So you would like to wheel her into theatre
0:36:51 > 0:36:54- without any consent from anyone? - Sounds about right.
0:36:56 > 0:37:00- Meaning?- You couldn't possibly do something that might delay cutting a patient open.
0:37:00 > 0:37:03- I'm sorry?- Heaven forbid you might see one of your patients as a human being(!)
0:37:03 > 0:37:06Ollie, mate, why don't you get yourself a coffee?
0:37:06 > 0:37:08- I don't want a coffee.- Ollie...
0:37:15 > 0:37:20Look, it's barely been a month, so obviously he's just not himself.
0:37:20 > 0:37:22I want to see her on my table in exactly one hour.
0:37:26 > 0:37:28Does Helen know?
0:37:28 > 0:37:31I haven't spoken to anyone, OK. Nathan, you. That's it.
0:37:31 > 0:37:33You know you're going to have to talk to Rachel?
0:37:33 > 0:37:35- Of course I do. I just need... - KNOCK AT THE DOOR
0:37:35 > 0:37:40- Sorry, you said you wanted to know when they were taking Betty into theatre?- Great, thanks.
0:37:41 > 0:37:43I promised Bert I'd be there.
0:37:43 > 0:37:47- Yeah, but what about Rachel...? - As soon as Betty's out of theatre, I'll speak to her, I promise, OK?
0:37:47 > 0:37:51Sacha, you can't keep running away from this.
0:37:51 > 0:37:52Just another hour...or so.
0:37:55 > 0:37:57(What difference is that going to make?)
0:38:01 > 0:38:05I know she seems like this confident, independent young woman,
0:38:05 > 0:38:08but beneath that, she's just a scared kid.
0:38:08 > 0:38:10That's not our problem.
0:38:10 > 0:38:13You're doing this whole "I'm Jac Naylor, I really don't care about my patients" thing.
0:38:13 > 0:38:15Well, I don't buy that.
0:38:15 > 0:38:19I know you. And I know you want everyone to believe that you're this uncaring, unfeeling...
0:38:19 > 0:38:23Maybe that's who I really am. Maybe you don't know me at all!
0:38:23 > 0:38:27- Yeah, well, the fact remains that Lou is a child.- She's 15!
0:38:27 > 0:38:31- Exactly! Which means that legally... - Do you really think she's going to be better off in care?
0:38:31 > 0:38:36- I'm not even saying whether she's going to be... - You don't know anything, OK.
0:38:36 > 0:38:37Well, go on then.
0:38:37 > 0:38:41Why don't you tell me? Why don't you tell me what I don't know?
0:38:41 > 0:38:44JAC'S PAGER BLEEPS
0:38:45 > 0:38:46I'm late for theatre.
0:38:54 > 0:38:57- Hi.- I came to see how my patient's doing.
0:38:57 > 0:39:00Yeah, she's great. I think she's a bit tired.
0:39:00 > 0:39:03She had a few friends over. I think they might've worn her out.
0:39:03 > 0:39:04How did she take the news?
0:39:04 > 0:39:08Erm, Sacha's waiting for the right time to tell her.
0:39:08 > 0:39:10He hasn't told her yet?
0:39:10 > 0:39:12No, he's been a bit busy with surgery and stuff.
0:39:12 > 0:39:17But I fast-tracked those results so we could let her know as soon as possible. Where is he now?
0:39:17 > 0:39:21Yeah, well he's up in Darwin theatre. And I'm sure when he gets back he'll want to tell Rachel...
0:39:21 > 0:39:22Tell me what?
0:39:23 > 0:39:27- Er, Rachel, you need to get back into the side room...- Tell me what?
0:39:29 > 0:39:33- You're just here to watch? - Her husband asked me to be here.
0:39:33 > 0:39:37You get that she's unconscious? So she'll never know whether you were here or not.
0:39:37 > 0:39:39I wouldn't expect you to understand, to be honest.
0:39:39 > 0:39:43What is wrong with everyone today? We're supposed to be doctors.
0:39:43 > 0:39:46We're supposed to be clinical, objective...
0:39:46 > 0:39:47We're supposed to be compassionate.
0:39:47 > 0:39:51Oh, God! You sound just like Maconie. What does that even mean?
0:39:51 > 0:39:55It's just another word for interfering, for do-gooding.
0:39:55 > 0:39:59We have a 15-year-old patient on Darwin.
0:39:59 > 0:40:03And everyone's talking like she's this vulnerable child who just needs her mum,
0:40:03 > 0:40:07but it's so obvious she is ten times better off on her own.
0:40:07 > 0:40:12- 15 is young...- When I was 15, I hadn't seen my mother in three years and it was much better that way.
0:40:12 > 0:40:15The world would be a much better place if everyone just admitted
0:40:15 > 0:40:18that having children is a selfish act.
0:40:18 > 0:40:21You're just going to end up destroying them, they're going to end up hating you,
0:40:21 > 0:40:24- so why not just save yourself the trouble and...- Will you STOP?
0:40:27 > 0:40:29For God's sake, Jac, just, please...
0:40:29 > 0:40:33Not today, OK? Just...not today.
0:40:35 > 0:40:37Removing the lobe.
0:40:50 > 0:40:52What's the definition of a psychopath?
0:40:52 > 0:40:55Is that when you're incapable of feeling empathy?
0:40:55 > 0:40:57Or is that a sociopath?
0:40:57 > 0:40:59I know she can be a bit challenging...
0:40:59 > 0:41:01Why are you defending her?
0:41:01 > 0:41:06This is a woman whose heart was surgically removed at birth,
0:41:06 > 0:41:11a woman who doesn't care about her patients until they're anaesthetised and on the table.
0:41:11 > 0:41:15I am sick of talking to her, I'm sick of trying to reason with her.
0:41:15 > 0:41:20And I'll tell you what. Whatever she says, I'm going to phone that woman at Child Protection
0:41:20 > 0:41:24because call me old-fashioned, but I don't happen to think that a 15-year-old child
0:41:24 > 0:41:26should be left on their own.
0:41:29 > 0:41:31So you're going through her bins now?
0:41:31 > 0:41:34No I had the number for Susan, the social worker...
0:41:41 > 0:41:42Wait...
0:41:44 > 0:41:48- No...- I've just been paged. I've got to go.
0:41:48 > 0:41:49Oh, Mo, you don't think that...?
0:41:56 > 0:41:58Can we get that to pathology please.
0:42:00 > 0:42:02Why not today?
0:42:03 > 0:42:05I'm just not having a great day, that's all.
0:42:05 > 0:42:07None of us are.
0:42:08 > 0:42:13Well, you have this way of pushing and pushing, you know, and it can be...quite hard to take.
0:42:15 > 0:42:16Swab.
0:42:20 > 0:42:22Rachel's chemo failed.
0:42:32 > 0:42:35They're talking about trying to find a bone marrow donor
0:42:35 > 0:42:37because they don't know what else to try.
0:42:40 > 0:42:42My 14-year-old daughter...
0:42:43 > 0:42:46..is getting sicker and sicker...
0:42:47 > 0:42:51..and I have absolutely no idea how I'm going to tell her.
0:43:04 > 0:43:07When today started, I didn't quite anticipate it ending
0:43:07 > 0:43:11with a microwave lasagne for one and my Glee boxset.
0:43:12 > 0:43:14If you'd like some company, I'd...
0:43:14 > 0:43:16Ah, that's very sweet, but...
0:43:16 > 0:43:21I think I'd rather wallow in self-pity. And I don't think Glee's really your thing.
0:43:22 > 0:43:25I couldn't really tell you. I mean, what is it?
0:43:26 > 0:43:30Oh, Arthur. Never change.
0:43:32 > 0:43:35Oh! Hang on a sec.
0:43:36 > 0:43:41How stupid am I? My car's that old it actually has a tape player!
0:43:41 > 0:43:43I never use it apart from my MP3.
0:43:43 > 0:43:45So can I borrow that tape?
0:43:45 > 0:43:49The one with Elvis and, erm, Ella...what's-her-name?
0:43:49 > 0:43:52Erm, it's all right, you don't have to be polite.
0:43:52 > 0:43:57No, come on. I'm interested. It'll make a nice change from Bruno Mars.
0:44:06 > 0:44:07I-I hope you like it.
0:44:07 > 0:44:09I'm sure I will.
0:44:15 > 0:44:16What's going on?
0:44:20 > 0:44:24We've all agreed it's best to keep Rachel on Paeds until she's discharged later.
0:44:24 > 0:44:27Rachel? Is this what you want?
0:44:30 > 0:44:31Rachel?
0:44:33 > 0:44:34Why didn't you tell me?
0:44:40 > 0:44:42I was going to...
0:44:43 > 0:44:45You looked through that window and you smiled.
0:44:46 > 0:44:49You made me think everything was going to be fine.
0:45:12 > 0:45:14So I'm assuming it's mine?
0:45:14 > 0:45:16I'm not doing this here.
0:45:16 > 0:45:19- Were you even going to tell me? What was the plan, Jac? - There was no plan!
0:45:19 > 0:45:24- So?!- So, nothing! There is nothing to talk about.
0:45:24 > 0:45:27- It's over, it was a false alarm. - How do you know?
0:45:27 > 0:45:29Because I've been bleeding.
0:45:32 > 0:45:33How long?
0:45:33 > 0:45:34This morning.
0:45:35 > 0:45:36And have you bled again since?
0:45:38 > 0:45:42- Just answer the question! - Ah, look it's just my body, OK! - It has everything to do with me!
0:45:42 > 0:45:45Fine, so! So what if we WERE pregnant? What would we do then?
0:45:45 > 0:45:50Would we get married? Would we buy a house with a nursery and a dog?
0:45:51 > 0:45:55It's better this way. It's the best thing that could've happened.
0:45:55 > 0:45:57Let me get my head round this.
0:45:59 > 0:46:01Last week you were definitely pregnant,
0:46:01 > 0:46:03and now the only indication you have that you may not...
0:46:03 > 0:46:07- Because I know my own body! - You should have a test. - I'm not doing a test!
0:46:07 > 0:46:09I need to know for sure. You owe me that much!
0:46:09 > 0:46:14It's Lou. She blacked out for a second. I think the myxoma might be blocking the mitral orifice.
0:46:15 > 0:46:17Right. Page Psych.
0:46:17 > 0:46:19- Psych?- Just do it!
0:46:34 > 0:46:38# Wise men say... #
0:46:38 > 0:46:39There we are.
0:46:39 > 0:46:47# Only fools rush in
0:46:48 > 0:46:55# But I can't help falling in love... #
0:46:55 > 0:46:58Oh, no.
0:46:58 > 0:47:01# ..with you... #
0:47:02 > 0:47:07Post-treatment, she's liable to be so lifeless she may not be able to swallow her own saliva.
0:47:09 > 0:47:13Most parents find it very distressing to see their child in this state.
0:47:15 > 0:47:17What are her...chances?
0:47:21 > 0:47:22Please.
0:47:23 > 0:47:26You're a doctor. You know how misleading statistics can be.
0:47:27 > 0:47:31But I've found there's a five-year survival rate which varies
0:47:31 > 0:47:33from 15% to anything up to 70%.
0:47:38 > 0:47:40Is there any chance of a...
0:47:41 > 0:47:42..relapse?
0:47:44 > 0:47:47I'd put that at anything up to 75%...
0:47:48 > 0:47:52..given the fact her leukaemia was unresponsive to chemo.
0:47:57 > 0:47:59I am so sorry, Sacha.
0:48:07 > 0:48:08Thank you.
0:48:18 > 0:48:23She's a smart kid. I'm very happy to sign her off as Gillick competent.
0:48:23 > 0:48:24- Thank you.- Seriously?
0:48:26 > 0:48:28You know me, Dr Valentine. I never joke about my work.
0:48:28 > 0:48:31Do you care about anything but getting patients on the operating table?
0:48:31 > 0:48:34- Is that all that matters to you? - Remember who you're talking to.
0:48:35 > 0:48:37Have you even considered the risks?
0:48:37 > 0:48:39You're off the case.
0:48:39 > 0:48:42If you speak to me like that again, you'll be out of a job.
0:48:47 > 0:48:51I'm going to be tested later on today, and then we'll know a bit more after that.
0:48:51 > 0:48:53And what if you're not a match?
0:48:53 > 0:48:55Well, then we'll find that someone who is.
0:48:55 > 0:48:57Whatever happens,
0:48:57 > 0:48:59I'm going to be with you every single step of the way.
0:48:59 > 0:49:02- No, you're not.- Oh, Rachel...
0:49:02 > 0:49:04How can you be? You don't have leukaemia.
0:49:09 > 0:49:14If I could take this from you right now...don't you think I would?
0:49:16 > 0:49:19I wish I could do that more than anything else in the world.
0:49:19 > 0:49:22But you can't. I'm on my own.
0:49:22 > 0:49:25And I'll probably have to repeat a year of school and everything.
0:49:25 > 0:49:28And I'll just be a bald, cancer-ridden freak
0:49:28 > 0:49:30who hangs round with all the sick kids.
0:49:30 > 0:49:32And what can you do about that?
0:49:33 > 0:49:34Nothing.
0:49:38 > 0:49:39What was it about the patient?
0:49:40 > 0:49:44- Lou?- Nothing. It's not about her.
0:49:45 > 0:49:48It's this whole idea that nothing matters except
0:49:48 > 0:49:51getting the patient into theatre as fast as possible.
0:49:51 > 0:49:54Is wanting to get someone into surgery fast always a bad thing?
0:49:54 > 0:49:56What if she's not ready?
0:49:59 > 0:50:01What if she never gets to see her daughter again?
0:50:04 > 0:50:08What if she's not talked through all of the options?
0:50:09 > 0:50:13Whose idea was it for Tara to have the operation?
0:50:14 > 0:50:16We're not talking about Tara.
0:50:18 > 0:50:21Everything I say, you have to make about HER.
0:50:22 > 0:50:26- You know what? I don't... I don't need this.- Fine.
0:50:26 > 0:50:27But...
0:50:28 > 0:50:30..if you don't need it...
0:50:31 > 0:50:34..why did you show up here voluntarily this afternoon?
0:50:37 > 0:50:40Wait. You might want to have a look at her biopsy result.
0:50:49 > 0:50:50Do they know?
0:50:50 > 0:50:52Your patient.
0:51:01 > 0:51:02Hi, Bert.
0:51:07 > 0:51:10I have some very good news for you.
0:51:12 > 0:51:14Betty's tumour was benign.
0:51:14 > 0:51:16Oh! Oh, that's...
0:51:16 > 0:51:19- Thank you.- That's not all.
0:51:19 > 0:51:24The tumour was causing something called paraneoplastic syndrome.
0:51:24 > 0:51:28- What's...?- It's something that occurs in older patients,
0:51:28 > 0:51:33as a result of the tumour secreting hormones into the body's system.
0:51:33 > 0:51:38But the symptoms are very similar to types of dementia.
0:51:38 > 0:51:39I don't understand...
0:51:39 > 0:51:43Well, it won't happen immediately, but now we've removed the tumour,
0:51:43 > 0:51:46the symptoms - the confusion, the vagueness -
0:51:46 > 0:51:48will eventually disappear.
0:51:48 > 0:51:49Oh!
0:51:51 > 0:51:52She's going to come back to me?
0:51:54 > 0:51:55Ooh!
0:51:56 > 0:52:01You beautiful man. You beautiful, beautiful man!
0:52:05 > 0:52:08I'm going to leave you two alone for a minute.
0:52:16 > 0:52:18Did that man just kiss you?
0:52:20 > 0:52:24Yeah, it's funny what people do when you show them a bit of compassion.
0:52:24 > 0:52:28Look, I, er, I don't know what people say in times like this but you can just assume.
0:52:28 > 0:52:29Assume what?
0:52:29 > 0:52:31"I'm so sorry."
0:52:32 > 0:52:35"Is there anything I can do?" That sort of stuff.
0:52:37 > 0:52:38Actually...
0:52:40 > 0:52:43..yes, there is something that you can do.
0:52:49 > 0:52:51I still don't see why you're doing this.
0:52:51 > 0:52:53Before I had kids...
0:52:54 > 0:52:57..people would say stuff like...
0:52:57 > 0:53:00"I would throw myself under a bus for my child," and I would think...
0:53:01 > 0:53:05.."No, you wouldn't. Not really. Not when it actually came down to it."
0:53:07 > 0:53:09- And now?- In a heartbeat.
0:53:11 > 0:53:14Yeah, but that's just you, the world's biggest pushover.
0:53:15 > 0:53:18That's the weird thing about being a parent, is...
0:53:20 > 0:53:24..you can't possibly imagine what it's like until you're doing it.
0:53:24 > 0:53:26You know, it just seems impossible.
0:53:29 > 0:53:31How am I looking, by the way?
0:53:31 > 0:53:34- Horrendous.- Oh, good.
0:53:38 > 0:53:41What if you're one of those people who has a child...
0:53:42 > 0:53:44..and then discovers that they don't have it?
0:53:45 > 0:53:48Whatever that thing is...
0:53:49 > 0:53:53Oh. You have it. Trust me.
0:53:57 > 0:53:59You're brutally honest...
0:53:59 > 0:54:01You never sugar-coat anything.
0:54:02 > 0:54:04And nothing seems to scare you.
0:54:06 > 0:54:09In fact, the more I think about it...
0:54:09 > 0:54:12the more I think that YOU would make a brilliant parent.
0:54:14 > 0:54:16A tiny Naylor. Wow...
0:54:17 > 0:54:18There's a thought.
0:54:22 > 0:54:24- SHE SNIFFS - (OK.)
0:54:28 > 0:54:30I'll see you tomorrow.
0:54:41 > 0:54:42Hi.
0:54:43 > 0:54:45Hi.
0:54:47 > 0:54:49Look...
0:54:49 > 0:54:53if you'd rather be on your own tonight, I...completely understand.
0:54:55 > 0:54:57But...
0:54:57 > 0:54:59if you want company...
0:55:00 > 0:55:02We don't have to talk...
0:55:02 > 0:55:04We don't have to do anything, but...
0:55:05 > 0:55:07Thank you.
0:55:18 > 0:55:19Well?
0:55:19 > 0:55:20It takes a couple of minutes.
0:55:22 > 0:55:24- Look, I just want you to know whatever...- Don't!
0:55:24 > 0:55:26Don't give me the speech.
0:55:30 > 0:55:32OK, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on!
0:55:32 > 0:55:34Give me that thing.
0:55:36 > 0:55:39Look, whatever happens here, there is a way of making it work.
0:55:39 > 0:55:42All right, we are not together.
0:55:42 > 0:55:44And, you know, this is nobody's idea of an ideal situation,
0:55:44 > 0:55:46but we're grown-ups, right? And...
0:55:48 > 0:55:51Well, in a lot of ways...
0:55:51 > 0:55:53this might be exactly what we need.
0:55:53 > 0:55:56- This is the last thing we need. - Stop, OK?
0:55:56 > 0:56:00Just stop fighting so hard. You have nothing to prove to me.
0:56:03 > 0:56:04All right.
0:56:05 > 0:56:07For once in your life...
0:56:08 > 0:56:09..be honest with me.
0:56:11 > 0:56:12What do you want this to say?
0:56:19 > 0:56:23Why are you wearing that hat? You look ridiculous.
0:56:26 > 0:56:29So, I spoke to Chrissie...
0:56:29 > 0:56:34and we've decided I'm going to be staying at your mum's, OK? Just till we're settled.
0:56:34 > 0:56:36No, seriously, what's with the hat?
0:56:46 > 0:56:48You're absolutely right.
0:56:48 > 0:56:49I don't have cancer.
0:56:51 > 0:56:53And I can't take it away from you.
0:56:55 > 0:56:59And I know that you're worried that sooner or later, you're going to be,
0:56:59 > 0:57:02in your own words, "a bald, puffy-faced freak".
0:57:04 > 0:57:06But you're wrong about one thing.
0:57:07 > 0:57:09You're not going to be on your own.
0:57:14 > 0:57:15Oh, my God!
0:57:16 > 0:57:18That is so embarrassing!
0:57:19 > 0:57:21I can't believe you did that.
0:57:24 > 0:57:28And even though the fairy godmother had tried her best
0:57:28 > 0:57:31to break the spell that the skinny ginger witch
0:57:31 > 0:57:35had put on the annoying Scottish prince...she couldn't.
0:57:35 > 0:57:38The spell was too strong.
0:57:39 > 0:57:43But this story has a happy ending, because the skinny ginger witch
0:57:43 > 0:57:46found out that she was going to have a baby,
0:57:46 > 0:57:50and she ate and ate,
0:57:50 > 0:57:53and got fat ankles which she REALLY hated,
0:57:53 > 0:57:57and the fairy godmother laughed - ha! - and laughed,
0:57:57 > 0:58:00and went down the pub with the Scottish prince
0:58:00 > 0:58:03and they had some pints and bags of scampi fries,
0:58:03 > 0:58:06just like they had every Tuesday night.
0:58:14 > 0:58:16We're going to do this thing?
0:58:18 > 0:58:19Looks like it.
