0:00:40 > 0:00:42A good leader should give credit where credit is due.
0:00:42 > 0:00:44Did she not alert you to the possibility that self-harm
0:00:44 > 0:00:47was the cause of the ulcer quite early on in the day?
0:00:47 > 0:00:49I, er, backed my own judgment.
0:00:49 > 0:00:51Well, in the end, that's what we all have to do.
0:00:52 > 0:00:53Chrissie Williams.
0:00:53 > 0:00:55'When they called my name out earlier...'
0:00:55 > 0:00:59Suddenly you start thinking of all the worst-case scenarios.
0:00:59 > 0:01:01Hey, none of that. What happened to that bolshie
0:01:01 > 0:01:04and incredibly rude women I met this morning?
0:01:04 > 0:01:07Fredrick's partner is expecting a baby.
0:01:07 > 0:01:10You're going to be a grandfather.
0:01:10 > 0:01:12I didn't do it. I'm still pregnant.
0:01:12 > 0:01:15But if it's not what you want, then you are under no obligation.
0:01:15 > 0:01:19Obligation?! I want this baby, I have ALWAYS wanted this baby.
0:01:19 > 0:01:20Right.
0:01:20 > 0:01:26Fredrik needs you. Take this chance, please, it's not too late.
0:01:52 > 0:01:53PHONE RINGS
0:01:55 > 0:01:56Hanssen.
0:01:59 > 0:02:01Oh, yes, send him in, please. Thank you.
0:02:12 > 0:02:16Look at all these toys, Daniel. Here we are. It's so cool here!
0:02:18 > 0:02:21Wow, look who it is! Who's a big boy, then?
0:02:21 > 0:02:23First day at nursery! You excited?
0:02:23 > 0:02:26DANIEL MUTTERS Beautiful boy.
0:02:28 > 0:02:31Everything OK? Yeah, absolutely fine.
0:02:31 > 0:02:34Listen, if you ever want me to bring him in
0:02:34 > 0:02:36or give you a lift anywhere, you will say, won't you?
0:02:36 > 0:02:38I'm very happy to... Sacha, please.
0:02:38 > 0:02:39OK, yes, I understand. Space...
0:02:41 > 0:02:44Right, shall we swing? Hey...shall we do a swing?
0:02:44 > 0:02:49BOTH: One...two...three!
0:02:49 > 0:02:54Again? Ready? One...two...three!
0:02:58 > 0:03:02Now, listen. Mummy's got to go to work now.
0:03:02 > 0:03:05When you finish, Mummy's going to take you for ice-cream.
0:03:05 > 0:03:08(Yeah? Good boy. I love you.)
0:03:13 > 0:03:16That's it, give me Monkey.
0:03:16 > 0:03:18You know where we're going to go now, don't you? Ready?
0:03:20 > 0:03:25Look, I've had time to consider, Mr Hanssen, and I get it,
0:03:25 > 0:03:26I really do...
0:03:26 > 0:03:27PHONE RINGS
0:03:31 > 0:03:33Actually, I'm sorry, do you mind if I take this?
0:03:36 > 0:03:38Jake. Look, I'm in a meeting...
0:03:39 > 0:03:42I've told you before, this phone is for emergencies only.
0:03:44 > 0:03:47Well, if there's no milk, you need to go and buy some.
0:03:47 > 0:03:48Speak to you later.
0:03:50 > 0:03:51HE LAUGHS
0:03:51 > 0:03:54Sorry about that, Mr Hanssen, Jake thinks he's all grown up
0:03:54 > 0:03:56but goes on like a three-year-old half the time.
0:03:56 > 0:03:57You know what kids are like, right?
0:04:00 > 0:04:03Bottom line, I know where I went wrong...
0:04:03 > 0:04:06In simple terms, you are asking for
0:04:06 > 0:04:10more responsibility while showing a worrying incapacity to deal
0:04:10 > 0:04:12with the responsibilities you already have.
0:04:12 > 0:04:14But I've learned from my mistake...
0:04:14 > 0:04:18My concerns are not confined to your performance as clinical skills lead,
0:04:18 > 0:04:21but also to your historical inability to stick to the rules,
0:04:21 > 0:04:25your frequent over-identification with patients
0:04:25 > 0:04:28and inability to step back from your emotions.
0:04:28 > 0:04:29So, what...?
0:04:31 > 0:04:33I-I'm finished here? Not necessarily, no.
0:04:35 > 0:04:38If you would be prepared to work closely with me
0:04:38 > 0:04:41for the foreseeable future - observe and be observed -
0:04:41 > 0:04:43then I will be able to determine
0:04:43 > 0:04:46whether you have indeed learned your lesson and moved on...or not.
0:04:47 > 0:04:49Entirely up to you.
0:04:49 > 0:04:51Has Jac said anything to you about the baby? Nope.
0:04:53 > 0:04:55AUTOMATED VOICE: Doors opening, lift going down.
0:04:55 > 0:04:58All my no-doubt clumsy attempts to raise the subject have
0:04:58 > 0:04:59felt rather unwelcome.
0:04:59 > 0:05:03Yeah, I know the feeling. I just want to reach out, be supportive.
0:05:03 > 0:05:05It must be a terribly worrying time for Jac.
0:05:05 > 0:05:08I'm not worried. Jac... Hey!
0:05:08 > 0:05:12But you lot whispering in corners is really beginning to wind me up.
0:05:12 > 0:05:13OK, give them a break. They just
0:05:13 > 0:05:15want to know how you - how WE - want to play this.
0:05:15 > 0:05:18Losing the nauseating "poor you" looks of sympathy
0:05:18 > 0:05:21would be a good start. Then, tell them that.
0:05:21 > 0:05:24Jac, I'm sorry, I really didn't mean to upset you...
0:05:24 > 0:05:27I'm not upset. That's the whole point.
0:05:27 > 0:05:29This baby has a 50% chance of survival,
0:05:29 > 0:05:32the possibility of growing up with minimal complications -
0:05:32 > 0:05:34it's not all doom and gloom... Yes, of course.
0:05:34 > 0:05:37And no, Ms Effanga, I am not in denial.
0:05:37 > 0:05:39But until the birth, there's no way of knowing
0:05:39 > 0:05:42what we're up against, so I'd rather think positive
0:05:42 > 0:05:44than stress endlessly over worst-case scenarios.
0:05:44 > 0:05:46If that's OK with you two? Got it.
0:05:46 > 0:05:47Couldn't agree more. Thank you.
0:05:49 > 0:05:50SHE SIGHS
0:05:51 > 0:05:54'You have reached Chantelle Lane's phone.
0:05:54 > 0:05:57'Please leave a message after the tone.'
0:05:57 > 0:05:59You were better than I thought.
0:05:59 > 0:06:00At what? Sex.
0:06:01 > 0:06:06Thanks, erm, but...maybe we could keep the sex thing to ourselves?
0:06:06 > 0:06:09Stamina's your problem. I could help you work on that today if you'd like?
0:06:09 > 0:06:11That's what I like to hear, Dr March.
0:06:11 > 0:06:13Helping a colleague to achieve excellence.
0:06:13 > 0:06:15Just what I've been discussing with Mr Malick.
0:06:15 > 0:06:17We have a 12-year-old waiting in the lobby.
0:06:17 > 0:06:20Intermittent abdo pains. Why isn't he on Paeds?
0:06:20 > 0:06:22No room. So they bounced him here.
0:06:23 > 0:06:26There's nothing wrong with me! Dad, tell them!
0:06:26 > 0:06:28Josh, you need to calm down.
0:06:28 > 0:06:31As you can see, he's not very happy about it.
0:06:31 > 0:06:33Anyway, I'm off to St James's for the day,
0:06:33 > 0:06:35so I'll leave him in your capable hands.
0:06:35 > 0:06:38I'm not staying, I'm not! All right, shh-shh-shh.
0:06:38 > 0:06:39Mr Spence... Have a nice day!
0:06:42 > 0:06:45HE WHISTLES Hey, blondie! Over here!
0:06:49 > 0:06:52I just love the smell of chemo in the morning.
0:06:53 > 0:06:56You're looking pretty good, girl, considering...
0:06:56 > 0:06:58Yeah, great. I feel fine.
0:06:58 > 0:07:02Mind you, radiotherapy's a breeze compared to chemo.
0:07:02 > 0:07:04At least you won't end up with a pair of shrivelled gonads
0:07:04 > 0:07:06and a failing manhood.
0:07:08 > 0:07:11What's up? Come on, you can tell Uncle Tim.
0:07:12 > 0:07:15It's my little boy's first day at nursery.
0:07:15 > 0:07:16So? He's a big boy now.
0:07:16 > 0:07:19Sacha had to take him in. I had this burning pain.
0:07:19 > 0:07:21I didn't want Daniel to see me.
0:07:21 > 0:07:24You were just protecting the little lad. Being brave.
0:07:24 > 0:07:26I didn't feel like I was being brave.
0:07:26 > 0:07:30Felt like...like I was losing him, like everything is changing.
0:07:30 > 0:07:32Look, your cells have gone AWOL,
0:07:32 > 0:07:34you're having treatment to deal with it -
0:07:34 > 0:07:36that's the only thing that's different.
0:07:36 > 0:07:38You see, you get it, but not everyone does,
0:07:38 > 0:07:42especially Sacha. Sometimes the way he looks at me...
0:07:42 > 0:07:45Hmm, it's called "the cancer stare" in the trade.
0:07:45 > 0:07:47I know this sounds awful, but I could punch him!
0:07:47 > 0:07:50Great. Use that anger. How?
0:07:50 > 0:07:53By fighting to stay positive, 24/7.
0:07:53 > 0:07:56Getting stuck in at work, taking the lead.
0:07:56 > 0:07:58Showing everyone what a little bit of sunshine you are!
0:08:00 > 0:08:01Now, look on the bright side.
0:08:01 > 0:08:03At least you'll lose a bit of weight meantime.
0:08:03 > 0:08:05Save a fortune on the lipo bill.
0:08:07 > 0:08:09Come here, princess...
0:08:09 > 0:08:11HE LAUGHS You daft thing.
0:08:16 > 0:08:19They're just going to look you over. And if you're fine... I am!
0:08:19 > 0:08:22Well, then, we'll go, OK?
0:08:22 > 0:08:23We can watch the footie on telly...
0:08:23 > 0:08:26pizza, game of FIFA, how's that sound, eh?
0:08:26 > 0:08:28Good lad.
0:08:28 > 0:08:30Glad to see things have calmed down.
0:08:30 > 0:08:32Yeah, sorry about earlier. Josh isn't too keen on hospitals.
0:08:32 > 0:08:35I got that impression.
0:08:35 > 0:08:38So, can you tell me what happened? It doesn't even hurt now.
0:08:38 > 0:08:40He had football practice, got a ball in the stomach
0:08:40 > 0:08:42and has been in pain off and on all night.
0:08:42 > 0:08:44There's nothing wrong with me!
0:08:44 > 0:08:45Would you be quiet and let your father speak?
0:08:45 > 0:08:47I need to understand what the problem is.
0:08:47 > 0:08:49Josh... JOSH COUGHS
0:08:49 > 0:08:51You said we could go. Not yet, Josh...
0:08:51 > 0:08:53So you were lying?
0:08:53 > 0:08:54Joshie... JOSH GROANS
0:08:54 > 0:08:56Get back into bed, come on.
0:08:56 > 0:09:00Right, I need FBC, Us & Es, LFTs and an abdominal ultrasound, please.
0:09:00 > 0:09:04No, Dad, please. It's OK. Just calm down, yeah? We'll sort this.
0:09:04 > 0:09:06He's got cystic fibrosis. Ah, I see.
0:09:07 > 0:09:10Could I have a word outside, please? (Yeah.)
0:09:10 > 0:09:11I'm not staying!
0:09:11 > 0:09:14Hey, little man. Stay cool, yeah?
0:09:14 > 0:09:15It's going to be OK, mate.
0:09:19 > 0:09:21We don't know that, do we?
0:09:21 > 0:09:23He's not your "mate", he's your patient.
0:09:23 > 0:09:24Of course, I'm sorry, I got it.
0:09:24 > 0:09:27These just came through from St James's. Thank you.
0:09:28 > 0:09:31Really sorry about that. Josh is a lovely boy but he's had a hard time.
0:09:31 > 0:09:34Two long hospital stays already this year.
0:09:34 > 0:09:36Chest infection and bowel procedures, I see.
0:09:36 > 0:09:39He's 12, he's growing up, he wants to be like the other lads.
0:09:39 > 0:09:42Well, we'll do some tests and take a view.
0:09:42 > 0:09:45Surgery's a big deal for kids with CF...
0:09:45 > 0:09:46Yes, I am aware of the various issues.
0:09:46 > 0:09:48So you'll avoid it, if at all possible?
0:09:48 > 0:09:50Of course.
0:09:50 > 0:09:53We will do what is best for your son. Excuse me, if you please.
0:09:56 > 0:10:00Tamsin Chalmers, 28, collapsed in the street, palpitations.
0:10:00 > 0:10:04Shortness of breath. Pulse 90, BP 100/65.
0:10:04 > 0:10:06She's still pretty out of it.
0:10:06 > 0:10:08Actually, Miss Naylor, can you take this?
0:10:08 > 0:10:11I got a call for a potential transplant for you, Mo.
0:10:11 > 0:10:13Yes, fine. Bed three, please. Cheers.
0:10:13 > 0:10:16They're waiting for your call. Ta.
0:10:16 > 0:10:18Here's the baby. Oh, OK.
0:10:20 > 0:10:22Erm, can you find somewhere to put that?
0:10:22 > 0:10:24Eh, where exactly?
0:10:24 > 0:10:26There's a cardboard box in my office.
0:10:26 > 0:10:30It's not a tortoise! Normal bloods and an ECG, please.
0:10:30 > 0:10:31Hello.
0:10:31 > 0:10:34Push fluids and keep him as comfortable as you can.
0:10:36 > 0:10:39Couple of hours for our Mr Mortimer, I'd say.
0:10:39 > 0:10:42Joshua Pryce's test results. Thank you very much.
0:10:42 > 0:10:44What do you know about CF, Dr March?
0:10:44 > 0:10:47Is this a test? All patients are learning opportunities.
0:10:47 > 0:10:49Cystic fibrosis is a genetic, chronic disease
0:10:49 > 0:10:51that affects the lungs and digestive system.
0:10:51 > 0:10:54Thick mucus production results in life-threatening
0:10:54 > 0:10:56lung infections, obstructs the pancreas
0:10:56 > 0:10:58and stops natural enzymes from helping the body absorb food.
0:11:00 > 0:11:04Prognosis? As yet incurable. Median life expectancy, approximately 40.
0:11:04 > 0:11:06Very impressive, Dr March.
0:11:10 > 0:11:12No wonder the boy's all over the place.
0:11:13 > 0:11:15My heart goes out to him, you know.
0:11:15 > 0:11:18Over-identifying with his plight won't affect his outcome, I'm afraid.
0:11:18 > 0:11:21Our job today is purely to focus on his spleen.
0:11:22 > 0:11:27Your thoughts? Grade one splenic injury. Currently low level.
0:11:27 > 0:11:30I suggest we keep him in then take a view.
0:11:30 > 0:11:33I mean, minor splenic injuries often heal themselves spontaneously.
0:11:33 > 0:11:36Especially in children. But as you can see, his spleen is enlarged,
0:11:36 > 0:11:39which gives him an increased risk of rupture.
0:11:39 > 0:11:42But without a spleen, his immunity will be severely compromised.
0:11:42 > 0:11:44And without surgery, he might die today.
0:11:44 > 0:11:45Mr Hanssen, you heard his dad.
0:11:45 > 0:11:47He wants us to avoid surgery if at all possible.
0:11:47 > 0:11:50The kid's terrified, and I don't blame him...
0:11:50 > 0:11:52Clear-cut, rational decision-making, Mr Malick,
0:11:52 > 0:11:55without emotion overruling medical judgement.
0:11:55 > 0:11:56At all times.
0:11:58 > 0:12:00Morning, Mrs Withers. How are you today?
0:12:05 > 0:12:07Morning, gorgeous.
0:12:07 > 0:12:09If I was ten years younger, you wouldn't stand a chance.
0:12:11 > 0:12:13I want to see a proper doctor - now!
0:12:13 > 0:12:15You're just going to have to wait your turn.
0:12:15 > 0:12:17This is an acute ward with REAL emergencies.
0:12:17 > 0:12:20I am an emergency, you cheeky Irish cow! My leg's killing me!
0:12:20 > 0:12:23Hey, hey, hey, keep the noise down, please, there are sick people here.
0:12:23 > 0:12:24Yeah, and I'm one of them!
0:12:24 > 0:12:27You can't use that here. You can't use that in here...
0:12:27 > 0:12:29Get your hands off!
0:12:29 > 0:12:31It better not be broken.
0:12:39 > 0:12:41Your wife is such a trooper.
0:12:41 > 0:12:43Work takes her mind off things.
0:12:46 > 0:12:48I would've gone home and cried to Mummy.
0:12:48 > 0:12:50Yeah, but, then, you are a bit of a wuss.
0:12:52 > 0:12:58# Won't you take me to funky town
0:12:59 > 0:13:03# Won't you take me to funky town
0:13:03 > 0:13:06# Won't you take me to funky town... #
0:13:06 > 0:13:08You're a natural, Maconie.
0:13:08 > 0:13:11PHONE RINGS Can you get that? I don't want to wake her up.
0:13:12 > 0:13:14BABY STIRS Shh-shh-shh. It's OK.
0:13:14 > 0:13:15Nurse Maconie's phone.
0:13:16 > 0:13:18Fleur?
0:13:19 > 0:13:23Yeah. Uh-huh, OK, I'll pass that on.
0:13:23 > 0:13:25"Fleur" needs you to call her as soon as poss.
0:13:26 > 0:13:29OK, man, it's not what you think.
0:13:29 > 0:13:31You dark horse. Spill!
0:13:31 > 0:13:34When we got the CDH diagnosis, they...
0:13:34 > 0:13:35Shh-shh.
0:13:35 > 0:13:38They encouraged us to get involved with other parents,
0:13:38 > 0:13:40so I put us down for some baby classes.
0:13:41 > 0:13:43Fleur's the co-ordinator. So...
0:13:43 > 0:13:46BABY MOANS Aww. Aww, hello.
0:13:47 > 0:13:49So it's a group for parents with complications?
0:13:49 > 0:13:53Oh, no. Just general classes. But they kind of encourage you
0:13:53 > 0:13:55to build up a support network before the birth...
0:13:55 > 0:13:57And Jac was cool with that?
0:13:57 > 0:13:59She said she'd think about it. Well, you better hurry up
0:13:59 > 0:14:02and make your minds up, cos Fleur's had a cancellation.
0:14:02 > 0:14:03For this afternoon. Oh.
0:14:05 > 0:14:07I know this isn't what you wanted to hear,
0:14:07 > 0:14:10but we should proceed with the safest option for your son.
0:14:10 > 0:14:12Josh can't afford to lose his spleen,
0:14:12 > 0:14:15he finds it hard enough to fight off infection as it is.
0:14:15 > 0:14:17He's on 40 tablets a day, twice daily physio,
0:14:17 > 0:14:20two different inhalers, nebulisers - that's just to stand still!
0:14:20 > 0:14:24Mr Pryce... Surgery can badly damage lung function. Of course, but...
0:14:24 > 0:14:26That damage is irreversible...
0:14:26 > 0:14:28I'm sorry. There is no perfect solution.
0:14:28 > 0:14:31On the positive side, Joshua is currently stable enough
0:14:31 > 0:14:34for the procedure to be performed laparascopically,
0:14:34 > 0:14:37which has a much lower risk of infection.
0:14:37 > 0:14:40He's been through so much already, please...
0:14:40 > 0:14:43There must be something else, medication, anything...
0:14:43 > 0:14:45We could just observe him over time?
0:14:45 > 0:14:48Wait to see if the spleen could heal itself.
0:14:48 > 0:14:50But as Mr Hanssen just explained,
0:14:50 > 0:14:53that would be the far riskier option in Joshua's case.
0:14:56 > 0:14:58Saw you with Tim earlier.
0:14:58 > 0:15:00Yeah he's having some chemo, thought I'd say hi.
0:15:01 > 0:15:05He seems very keen on you, very...touchy-feely.
0:15:05 > 0:15:07You know he's gay? Yeah.
0:15:07 > 0:15:08So what are you saying?
0:15:10 > 0:15:11Nothing.
0:15:17 > 0:15:18Ah, bed seven, thanks.
0:15:20 > 0:15:23The drama queen is demanding your presence.
0:15:23 > 0:15:26Needs help to sit up in bed and I won't do, apparently.
0:15:26 > 0:15:28Has me down as a bog Irish numpty.
0:15:28 > 0:15:29Tell her I'm coming.
0:15:35 > 0:15:38I know I said I'd give you space, but you shouldn't be lifting patients.
0:15:38 > 0:15:41I mean, you could barely lift Daniel this morning.
0:15:41 > 0:15:42Well, I'm fine now.
0:15:54 > 0:15:57Everything OK? Apparently.
0:16:00 > 0:16:02She knows you're here. If she needs you.
0:16:05 > 0:16:07No! I told you!
0:16:07 > 0:16:10They said there's no way round it... I don't care!
0:16:10 > 0:16:13We just have to do the right thing. I don't believe you!
0:16:13 > 0:16:16Josh, what is this? I want Mum!
0:16:17 > 0:16:19That's not possible, you know that.
0:16:19 > 0:16:21No, I don't. You're a liar!
0:16:21 > 0:16:24Josh, I know this isn't what we said we wanted...
0:16:24 > 0:16:26No, I want Mum! Josh, Josh...
0:16:26 > 0:16:28JOSH COUGHS
0:16:28 > 0:16:30Get back into bed. No!
0:16:30 > 0:16:32You need to calm down, young man. We're trying to help you.
0:16:32 > 0:16:34You don't care what I want! Josh, please.
0:16:34 > 0:16:37And neither do you! Of course I do. Then, get Mum!
0:16:37 > 0:16:39HE CRIES WITH PAIN
0:16:39 > 0:16:42Hey, it's OK... Right, we'll need more bloods and a scan, please. Excuse me.
0:16:42 > 0:16:46I just want to explain... Forgive me, I have other patients to see.
0:16:50 > 0:16:52How's her mum doing? She's in AF.
0:16:52 > 0:16:54Needs 300mg of Amioderone stat,
0:16:54 > 0:16:57and 900mg over 12 hours' heparin infusion.
0:16:57 > 0:17:01And can you book an echo ASAP? I need to rule out mitral regurgitation.
0:17:01 > 0:17:02What are you still doing with that?
0:17:02 > 0:17:06No relatives as yet. I really don't think she likes me very much.
0:17:06 > 0:17:08Maybe you're just not doing it right.
0:17:08 > 0:17:10Mo said I was a natural. She was lying.
0:17:10 > 0:17:13Well, I'm sure there's a lot we both need to learn.
0:17:13 > 0:17:14I'm fine, thanks.
0:17:14 > 0:17:18In fact, you know the classes we were talking about?
0:17:18 > 0:17:21A space has come up. I didn't think you were being serious.
0:17:21 > 0:17:24Yeah, this afternoon, in fact...
0:17:24 > 0:17:27I thought we could take it as our break.
0:17:27 > 0:17:29I am not standing around talking about piles, heartburn
0:17:29 > 0:17:33and nursery decor with a bunch of fat, brain-dead housewives.
0:17:33 > 0:17:36We're going to need support, more than most people.
0:17:36 > 0:17:38Everybody does them, Jac.
0:17:38 > 0:17:39Since when do I care what everyone else does?
0:17:39 > 0:17:43Nothing wrong with just giving them a try. I said no.
0:17:43 > 0:17:45Why? Because our baby's different?
0:17:45 > 0:17:47No, because I don't need help.
0:17:47 > 0:17:49But if you want to waste your time chit-chatting
0:17:49 > 0:17:51to neurotic yummy mummies about the benefits
0:17:51 > 0:17:54of perineal massage, then feel free.
0:17:57 > 0:18:00BP 160/100.
0:18:00 > 0:18:03She's got swelling and tenderness in her right upper thigh...
0:18:03 > 0:18:05Excuse me? I am here, you know.
0:18:05 > 0:18:09Miss Peters, this is Mr Griffin. He's our senior consultant.
0:18:09 > 0:18:11Oh, a doctor. Finally!
0:18:11 > 0:18:12Sorry for the wait.
0:18:12 > 0:18:15Going private next time. It's unbelievable in here.
0:18:15 > 0:18:18Right. Shall we take a look?
0:18:21 > 0:18:23I'm going on holiday in a couple of days.
0:18:23 > 0:18:26Do you mind if I examine the leg?
0:18:26 > 0:18:28Ow! Oh, my God...
0:18:28 > 0:18:33The leg is clearly inflamed... and warm in the thigh area.
0:18:33 > 0:18:35Yeah, and it's getting worse.
0:18:35 > 0:18:37Can't go on the beach with a bum like an orang-utan, can I?
0:18:37 > 0:18:40PAGER BEEPS Excuse me.
0:18:41 > 0:18:44I'm afraid I'm going to have to deal with this. I'm in agony here!
0:18:44 > 0:18:46This is an emergency. What's this, then?
0:18:46 > 0:18:49Got this pulse in my leg and it's throbbing like mad.
0:18:49 > 0:18:51If you leave me any longer, I might need an amputation.
0:18:51 > 0:18:54I'll find you another doctor.
0:18:54 > 0:18:56My dad pays taxes for this rubbish!
0:18:56 > 0:18:58Clearly old-fashioned charm.
0:18:58 > 0:19:00Don't worry, I can handle her.
0:19:00 > 0:19:03Chrissie, you don't have to be superwoman.
0:19:03 > 0:19:04If it gets too much, yell, OK?
0:19:06 > 0:19:08I see the bleeding has increased.
0:19:08 > 0:19:10Yeah, but only marginally.
0:19:10 > 0:19:12Yes, but... Thank you.
0:19:12 > 0:19:15If we don't act now, we'll forfeit the opportunity
0:19:15 > 0:19:18to do this laparoscopically. We need to make him a priority.
0:19:18 > 0:19:21Some people get way more than their fair share of bad luck.
0:19:21 > 0:19:23If Jake had CF, I don't know what I'd do.
0:19:23 > 0:19:26Mr Malick, that is your personal life, this is your professional one.
0:19:28 > 0:19:32Yes, of course. I'll, uh... rearrange the theatre list.
0:19:33 > 0:19:34Thank you.
0:19:36 > 0:19:40X-ray are expecting her now, thank you.
0:19:40 > 0:19:43What's the deal? Just checking there are no abnormalities
0:19:43 > 0:19:45in the heart structure. But I reckon she'll be fine.
0:19:45 > 0:19:47Jonny, this is getting ridiculous.
0:19:47 > 0:19:49There's a relative due any minute.
0:19:49 > 0:19:51I really need you to get up to speed on this transplant case.
0:19:51 > 0:19:53But... I'll take it.
0:19:55 > 0:19:57Are you sure? Yeah, if she doesn't shut up,
0:19:57 > 0:19:59I'll just stick her out on the fire escape.
0:20:01 > 0:20:04That was a joke. I'm perfectly capable! You can go!
0:20:10 > 0:20:11BABY STIRS
0:20:11 > 0:20:13No, no, don't start, there'll be trouble.
0:20:24 > 0:20:25Mr Hanssen?
0:20:27 > 0:20:29I was just looking for your father.
0:20:30 > 0:20:32He's gone to sign some forms.
0:20:32 > 0:20:34All right, I'll go and look for him.
0:20:34 > 0:20:35No. Wait.
0:20:41 > 0:20:42It's from my mum.
0:20:45 > 0:20:49I really don't see what it... I need you to call her.
0:20:49 > 0:20:53She's been writing me letters. Dad hid them.
0:20:53 > 0:20:54He doesn't know that I've found them.
0:20:54 > 0:20:56Well, I suggest you tell him.
0:20:56 > 0:20:59But he lied! He said Mum didn't care.
0:20:59 > 0:21:01But I know she does.
0:21:03 > 0:21:05This is between you and your father.
0:21:05 > 0:21:07I need to see her in case I die.
0:21:07 > 0:21:09We're going to take very good care of you.
0:21:09 > 0:21:11Just tell her she has to come. Dad won't.
0:21:14 > 0:21:15The number's on the letter.
0:21:20 > 0:21:22It wouldn't be correct, I'm afraid.
0:21:25 > 0:21:27Speak to your father.
0:21:32 > 0:21:36Bet you're loving this. Not often a bloke like you gets your hands between a girl's legs.
0:21:36 > 0:21:38You have an infection on your upper inner right thigh.
0:21:38 > 0:21:40Any idea what from?
0:21:40 > 0:21:44I wanted a thigh gap for Marbella. Excuse me?
0:21:44 > 0:21:46You know? A neat little gap between your thighs,
0:21:46 > 0:21:49even when your knees are touching. Like Cara Delevingne?
0:21:49 > 0:21:52Good, and that matters because?
0:21:52 > 0:21:53Sorry to interrupt... Any time.
0:21:53 > 0:21:57You're needed in theatre, Mr Levy. Thank you. Oooof.
0:21:58 > 0:22:01Can't I have HIM? He'd get it. No.
0:22:01 > 0:22:03You've got a mean face. You know that?
0:22:03 > 0:22:06So, what you are trying to tell us is that you've had lipo?
0:22:06 > 0:22:08Is that it? Don't look at me like that.
0:22:08 > 0:22:10You trying to tell me you ain't had no work done?
0:22:10 > 0:22:14We're going to start you on IV antibiotics and fluids.
0:22:14 > 0:22:15Take it from there.
0:22:18 > 0:22:21I'm going to swap you with Mary-Claire. She's a nightmare.
0:22:21 > 0:22:23I'm more than capable...
0:22:23 > 0:22:25Darling, I'm not saying you are not capable...
0:22:25 > 0:22:27Sacha, please. You said you wouldn't do this.
0:22:27 > 0:22:28PHONE RINGS
0:22:30 > 0:22:33It's the nursery. ..Hello?
0:22:39 > 0:22:42Mr Hanssen, there's a theatre available in an hour.
0:22:42 > 0:22:45Shall I start getting Joshua prepped? Yes, that would...
0:22:45 > 0:22:47Mr Malick, your son's on the phone.
0:22:47 > 0:22:49I'll call him back. He's locked himself out. Tough!
0:22:50 > 0:22:53I can only apologise, Mr Hanssen, the boy's an idiot.
0:22:53 > 0:22:56He doesn't take after me, if that's what you're thinking.
0:22:56 > 0:22:59It must have been difficult meeting Jake, as a grown man...
0:22:59 > 0:23:02becoming a...family.
0:23:02 > 0:23:04Yeah. But we're getting there, it's fine.
0:23:06 > 0:23:09You see, I find that hard to believe. I promise you, Mr Hanssen,
0:23:09 > 0:23:11whatever's going on at home... I can deal with it.
0:23:11 > 0:23:13And I'll never let it affect my work.
0:23:13 > 0:23:14But how does it feel?
0:23:16 > 0:23:19Feel? Taking a complete stranger into your life?
0:23:19 > 0:23:20Well...
0:23:21 > 0:23:24I never, ever thought I'd be a dad, so...
0:23:24 > 0:23:26it was weird at first.
0:23:27 > 0:23:29Still don't know what I'm doing half the time.
0:23:31 > 0:23:33But I don't regret it.
0:23:33 > 0:23:36He's my flesh and blood and I... I love him.
0:23:38 > 0:23:40I see.
0:23:40 > 0:23:44Oh, Sacha, how could you? Daniel was distraught.
0:23:44 > 0:23:46Chrissie, I'm so sorry.
0:23:46 > 0:23:49I don't know how this happened.
0:23:49 > 0:23:52I mean, he had Monkey when he got out of the car.
0:23:52 > 0:23:55He gave him to me, whilst we were...swinging.
0:23:55 > 0:23:58And I just must've forgotten to give it back to him.
0:23:58 > 0:23:59You knew how important this was.
0:23:59 > 0:24:02Every child had to bring a special toy,
0:24:02 > 0:24:04and Daniel was the only one without anything.
0:24:04 > 0:24:06Chrissie, what can I say?
0:24:06 > 0:24:10You go on and on about being there for me, supporting me...
0:24:10 > 0:24:13And a simple thing that I ask you to do - you can't.
0:24:18 > 0:24:20PHONE RINGS
0:24:41 > 0:24:43HE COUGHS
0:24:49 > 0:24:51Oh, hurry up, please! I hate needles!
0:24:52 > 0:24:54Ow! You clumsy cow!
0:24:54 > 0:24:57I'll get it this time... Oh, no, you won't.
0:24:59 > 0:25:01I'm going to make an official complaint about you!
0:25:01 > 0:25:04Using me like a pin cushion.
0:25:04 > 0:25:05And my tummy's killing me.
0:25:06 > 0:25:08What seems to be the problem here?
0:25:08 > 0:25:10You're the only decent person in this dump.
0:25:10 > 0:25:14I believe you're due a break, Sister Williams? Thank you.
0:25:14 > 0:25:16As Mr Levy is still in theatre,
0:25:16 > 0:25:18would you like me to examine you?
0:25:18 > 0:25:21Yes, please. You've got lovely hands.
0:25:29 > 0:25:32Oh, I took a message for you.
0:25:32 > 0:25:33CHRISSIE SIGHS
0:25:35 > 0:25:37All right, I'm going to go on my break.
0:25:37 > 0:25:39Call me if anyone needs me. Sure.
0:25:45 > 0:25:47Where's she off to?
0:25:47 > 0:25:49Oh, she went to meet a guy.
0:25:49 > 0:25:51Tim, I think his name was.
0:26:07 > 0:26:10Where's she got to? Thought we'd be guided
0:26:10 > 0:26:12by the sweet smell of baby vomit.
0:26:12 > 0:26:15Or high-decibel screaming from the fire escape.
0:26:15 > 0:26:16Jac or the baby? Both.
0:26:26 > 0:26:27Told you the box was a good idea.
0:26:32 > 0:26:33Joshie?
0:26:47 > 0:26:48Josh?
0:26:51 > 0:26:54Help me, someone!
0:26:54 > 0:26:56Josh!
0:27:04 > 0:27:07MAJA'S ANSWERPHONE MESSAGE IN SWEDISH
0:27:10 > 0:27:12Oh, yes, hello, Maja. This is Henrik. I wonder if...
0:27:12 > 0:27:14Mr Hanssen, it's Joshua!
0:27:19 > 0:27:22You're going to be OK. There's no need to worry.
0:27:22 > 0:27:24I don't...want you here.
0:27:24 > 0:27:27I saw the letter, Josh. Why didn't you tell me?
0:27:27 > 0:27:29Why did you hide them?
0:27:29 > 0:27:31Right, let's put him under, please.
0:27:31 > 0:27:34No, I need to wait. She's coming.
0:27:34 > 0:27:37What? That's out of the question now, I'm afraid.
0:27:37 > 0:27:39Go ahead, he'll be fine. No!
0:27:39 > 0:27:43WOMAN: OK, he's my son, you have to let me see him!
0:27:43 > 0:27:46Josh! Joshie! Mum! Oh, hello, darling.
0:27:47 > 0:27:49Don't you know how dangerous this is?
0:27:49 > 0:27:51We're aware of his vulnerability, yes.
0:27:51 > 0:27:52Until I know this operation is
0:27:52 > 0:27:55absolutely necessary, you're not going anywhere near him!
0:27:59 > 0:28:01Hi.
0:28:01 > 0:28:03Got you this, thought you might be hungry.
0:28:03 > 0:28:08Thanks. Hey...what's happened to my warrior princess?
0:28:10 > 0:28:12This is going to sound so stupid. Try me.
0:28:14 > 0:28:17Sacha forgot to give Daniel this toy monkey,
0:28:17 > 0:28:18and he needed it for nursery.
0:28:19 > 0:28:21I'd never have done that.
0:28:21 > 0:28:24And it got me thinking about how things might be if I'm not around.
0:28:24 > 0:28:26You're going to be there, girl.
0:28:26 > 0:28:28There's a chance I might not be.
0:28:28 > 0:28:30But there's also amazing odds that you will.
0:28:30 > 0:28:33And that's something you've got to hold on to.
0:28:34 > 0:28:36You're one of the lucky ones.
0:28:38 > 0:28:40I'm sorry, I'm so caught up talking about myself,
0:28:40 > 0:28:42I forgot to ask, how was the chemo?
0:28:42 > 0:28:43Just had my last session.
0:28:44 > 0:28:46Really? Hmm. And?
0:28:46 > 0:28:49Yeah, you know, the doctor's pleased
0:28:49 > 0:28:52and it's all looking pretty positive.
0:28:52 > 0:28:53What do you want me to do?
0:28:53 > 0:28:56Prance around the car park singing I Will Survive?
0:28:56 > 0:28:59Oh, Tim, I'm thrilled for you, that's brilliant news.
0:28:59 > 0:29:03You are amazing. Do you know that? No, I'm not.
0:29:03 > 0:29:07You are to me. Look at you. You're fit and well,
0:29:07 > 0:29:09you've come out the other side and you're still smiling.
0:29:09 > 0:29:12In the words of the immortal Freddie Mercury...
0:29:12 > 0:29:14"The show must go on."
0:29:14 > 0:29:16No matter what.
0:29:18 > 0:29:21I was bullied into a making a decision before, and my son nearly died.
0:29:21 > 0:29:25I will not let that happen again! Unless we act now, Joshua could be
0:29:25 > 0:29:27facing open surgery, which would be far more dangerous for him.
0:29:27 > 0:29:30So we need your consent NOW, please.
0:29:30 > 0:29:32You've already got mine. Surely that's enough?
0:29:32 > 0:29:34Not any more. She walked out on us.
0:29:34 > 0:29:37No phone message. No explanation. Nothing.
0:29:37 > 0:29:40Surely she loses the right... I don't make the rules, Mr Pryce.
0:29:40 > 0:29:43That's why I hid the letters. I didn't want her involved in his life.
0:29:43 > 0:29:46You hid the letters? I was just trying to protect my son. OUR son!
0:29:46 > 0:29:49I won't let you do this, Ellen! You can't stop me!
0:29:49 > 0:29:51His name's not even on the birth certificate.
0:29:51 > 0:29:53We were separated at the time of his birth. Never married.
0:29:53 > 0:29:56And when you walked out that door, you forfeited any right
0:29:56 > 0:29:58to call yourself Josh's mother! I was ill!
0:30:00 > 0:30:03I spent eight months in a psychiatric hospital.
0:30:06 > 0:30:09So, now you can go on your world trip.
0:30:09 > 0:30:10Where you going first?
0:30:10 > 0:30:15I thought maybe Venezuela. Suitably exotic for an old queen like me.
0:30:15 > 0:30:19Here, have a look at this - Angel Falls.
0:30:21 > 0:30:25Isn't that magnificent? Over 3,000 feet high.
0:30:25 > 0:30:28Wow... You know, when I was having my chemo,
0:30:28 > 0:30:31I used to dream about standing underneath that,
0:30:31 > 0:30:35buck naked, with the water rushing and pounding,
0:30:35 > 0:30:38cleaning away all my troubles. Sounds perfect.
0:30:38 > 0:30:41Unless I drown, of course, because I'm a rubbish swimmer...
0:30:41 > 0:30:43I could come and be your personal lifeguard.
0:30:43 > 0:30:45Hey, you'd look good in a Baywatch one-piece.
0:30:45 > 0:30:48I mean it. When I'm better, I could come and join you.
0:30:48 > 0:30:50See?
0:30:50 > 0:30:54You said, "When I'm better," instead of "if".
0:30:54 > 0:30:57That's a big step. It's all down to you.
0:30:58 > 0:31:01Ah, get out of it. I'm like Mary Poppins, me.
0:31:01 > 0:31:04Fly in. Do me magic. Fly out again.
0:31:06 > 0:31:08Thank you. Ah, you're welcome.
0:31:09 > 0:31:11I'll see you in Venezuela, kiddo.
0:31:12 > 0:31:15I mean it. I'm going to get there. I know you are.
0:31:17 > 0:31:18Come here.
0:31:29 > 0:31:32Can you just keep it down, please! I'm not leaving Joshie! You didn't
0:31:32 > 0:31:35care about leaving him before. He cried himself to sleep for months!
0:31:35 > 0:31:38I wasn't being rational, I had severe clinical depression.
0:31:38 > 0:31:41What, and you're all better now? The doctors are happy with my progress,
0:31:41 > 0:31:43and, yes, I'm ready to be a mother again.
0:31:43 > 0:31:46By denying him the treatment he needs?! Sounds completely sane to me!
0:31:46 > 0:31:49You want Joshua to hear you both fighting? I just want her to go so
0:31:49 > 0:31:51we can give him what he needs. You're angry, I understand that.
0:31:51 > 0:31:52Well, what do you expect?
0:31:52 > 0:31:55You walk back in here, putting my son's life at risk,
0:31:55 > 0:31:57when I'm the one that's been protecting him,
0:31:57 > 0:31:59caring for him, day in, day out.
0:31:59 > 0:32:01You're obviously not fit to be his mother.
0:32:01 > 0:32:04Declan... No. No, no, I'm calling my lawyer.
0:32:08 > 0:32:10All good? Mm-hm.
0:32:10 > 0:32:12Going to call you the baby whisperer from now on. Huh.
0:32:14 > 0:32:15Ooh. Jac? You OK?
0:32:15 > 0:32:18Get Elliot - now! No, no, no, wait.
0:32:18 > 0:32:20I think it just kicked.
0:32:21 > 0:32:23HE SIGHS WITH RELIEF
0:32:24 > 0:32:26Do you mind if I... If you must.
0:32:32 > 0:32:34There's nothing.
0:32:34 > 0:32:35Here, wait.
0:32:37 > 0:32:38There. You feel it?
0:32:42 > 0:32:44Yeah... I can feel it.
0:32:45 > 0:32:46OK.
0:32:49 > 0:32:52He's still stable. Yeah, no thanks to her.
0:32:54 > 0:32:57I just don't see why she gets to call all the shots. It's insane.
0:32:58 > 0:33:01We have to proceed within the strict guidelines surrounding
0:33:01 > 0:33:03parental responsibility. Which are?
0:33:03 > 0:33:06To enable a discussion aimed at reaching consensus.
0:33:06 > 0:33:07That didn't work.
0:33:07 > 0:33:10Without consent, we can only give emergency treatment that is
0:33:10 > 0:33:14essential to preserve life or to prevent serious deterioration.
0:33:15 > 0:33:17Move too soon and you risk a lawsuit.
0:33:17 > 0:33:20Prevaricate too long and you risk losing your patient.
0:33:20 > 0:33:24Those are the rules that every consultant has to abide by.
0:33:24 > 0:33:26The question is -
0:33:26 > 0:33:28are you capable of being that man?
0:33:31 > 0:33:34It's so weird. I feel like John Hurt in Alien.
0:33:34 > 0:33:38Let's hope our baby chooses a more conventional route out.
0:33:39 > 0:33:41It's getting real now.
0:33:42 > 0:33:44Is that...OK?
0:33:44 > 0:33:45No. It's terrifying.
0:33:47 > 0:33:50I'm sorry I hassled you about those classes.
0:33:50 > 0:33:54Last thing we need is a room full of young smug mums
0:33:54 > 0:33:58waving their perfect baby-scan photos in our faces.
0:33:59 > 0:34:01I'll tell her to forget it. No, don't.
0:34:02 > 0:34:05I want us to do everything normal parents do.
0:34:05 > 0:34:08And if that means going to your stupid baby classes, then...
0:34:08 > 0:34:09we'll do that too.
0:34:12 > 0:34:15You shouldn't have left me.
0:34:15 > 0:34:16My thoughts were all mixed up.
0:34:18 > 0:34:21I didn't think I was good enough to be your mum any more.
0:34:21 > 0:34:22I thought you hated me.
0:34:24 > 0:34:27Oh, Joshie...
0:34:27 > 0:34:29I've always loved you, more than anything.
0:34:30 > 0:34:33And now I'm better...I promise I'll never, ever leave you again.
0:34:35 > 0:34:37I don't want to die, Mum.
0:34:40 > 0:34:43That's not going to happen. I'm taking care of you now.
0:34:45 > 0:34:47A word, if I may?
0:34:57 > 0:34:59I have just received a call from Mr Pryce's lawyer,
0:34:59 > 0:35:02who is investigating your mental health history.
0:35:02 > 0:35:05I felt it my duty to warn you that if any question arises
0:35:05 > 0:35:09over your competency, Mr Pryce will regain full rights over consent.
0:35:10 > 0:35:12I'm expecting a call from your psychiatrist,
0:35:12 > 0:35:14and that should clarify matters.
0:35:22 > 0:35:24We have to go. Where?
0:35:24 > 0:35:27To another hospital. For a second opinion.
0:35:27 > 0:35:31I don't trust these doctors. But you can stop them.
0:35:32 > 0:35:34They can pretend you're sicker than you are.
0:35:34 > 0:35:38And they can say that I'm still not thinking straight.
0:35:38 > 0:35:41Then it'll be out of my hands. OK, let's go.
0:35:41 > 0:35:43But they won't want us to leave...
0:35:43 > 0:35:45(so we have be very quiet, yeah?)
0:35:51 > 0:35:55Right, Mr Samuels needs to be taken up for X-ray ASAP,
0:35:55 > 0:35:57and when you've transferred Mr Martin, could you change
0:35:57 > 0:36:00Ms Azir's dressings for me... and then do the drugs round.
0:36:00 > 0:36:03I'll do the diva's obs.
0:36:03 > 0:36:04Good luck!
0:36:06 > 0:36:09Hiya. Where did you get to?
0:36:09 > 0:36:10I just needed some fresh air. Oh.
0:36:15 > 0:36:18Had a boob job in 2011. Could have gone bigger.
0:36:18 > 0:36:20Some people prefer the beach ball effect,
0:36:20 > 0:36:22but I like 'em pert and perky.
0:36:22 > 0:36:24They both have their merits.
0:36:24 > 0:36:27Could hardly see the scars. Look, I'll show you... Better not.
0:36:27 > 0:36:31Had a chin implant last year, and I'm saving up for an eye lift.
0:36:31 > 0:36:35How old are you? 21. But you've got to make the best of yourself.
0:36:35 > 0:36:37Damage is already done by the time you get to your age.
0:36:37 > 0:36:39Right.
0:36:40 > 0:36:45Look, it's getting worse, isn't it? Like, it's really feeling hot now.
0:36:45 > 0:36:48I am a little concerned, yeah. We'll be back in a minute.
0:36:50 > 0:36:51I'll order a leg ultrasound,
0:36:51 > 0:36:54but to be honest, I think we better get Sacha.
0:36:54 > 0:36:55I'll call him. OK, thanks.
0:37:00 > 0:37:03Ms Spencer was discharged after treatment, as stated.
0:37:03 > 0:37:05She is not considered a risk to herself or others
0:37:05 > 0:37:09and her psychiatrist has no concerns over her competency.
0:37:09 > 0:37:12So what now? Take a look. The bleed is getting worse.
0:37:12 > 0:37:15I would suggest that the point of "serious deterioration"
0:37:15 > 0:37:17has been reached. I'll review the fluids.
0:37:18 > 0:37:20Double-check the scan again...
0:37:25 > 0:37:26Joshua's gone!
0:37:30 > 0:37:33Mum? I don't think I can do this any more.
0:37:33 > 0:37:34Not much further.
0:37:34 > 0:37:36HE WHEEZES
0:37:39 > 0:37:40I'm sorry... No, no, it's OK.
0:37:42 > 0:37:44Josh! Joshie?!
0:37:44 > 0:37:47Josh! Hang on, baby!
0:37:47 > 0:37:51SIREN BLARES Help! Help me, someone! Please help!
0:37:54 > 0:37:58Oh... Nothing's working, is it? Where's the nice doctor gone?
0:37:58 > 0:38:00Owwww!
0:38:00 > 0:38:02You need to calm down. I want my mum!
0:38:02 > 0:38:04I know you do. She's on her way.
0:38:04 > 0:38:06We've called her, it just took us a while to locate her.
0:38:06 > 0:38:08She was having a spray tan for Marbella.
0:38:08 > 0:38:11I told her not to rush it, but I wish I didn't now.
0:38:11 > 0:38:14I can't breathe. Ric, I'm really concerned.
0:38:14 > 0:38:16Her leg is much more swollen, hot to touch
0:38:16 > 0:38:19and she's complaining of chest pains.
0:38:19 > 0:38:21Do you think it could be a pulmonary embolism?
0:38:22 > 0:38:23Looks like there is a clot.
0:38:23 > 0:38:26Could be an iliofemoral blockage.
0:38:26 > 0:38:28Get someone from Darwin down here now.
0:38:28 > 0:38:31And let's get her started on heparin and warfarin.
0:38:31 > 0:38:33We're going to need an echo,
0:38:33 > 0:38:35high resolution CT scan and a D-dimer test.
0:38:35 > 0:38:37Am I dying?!
0:38:37 > 0:38:40You have a clot. We're going to try and dissolve it with medication.
0:38:40 > 0:38:44A clot? Oh, my God, it's going to kill me, isn't it? No. No, it's not.
0:38:44 > 0:38:47You're going to stay positive, keep calm and listen to me.
0:38:49 > 0:38:54Josh...Joshie. Josh, please... What the hell have you done?!
0:38:56 > 0:38:59You stupid woman, you could have killed him.
0:38:59 > 0:39:02At the very least, you've put him at further risk.
0:39:02 > 0:39:04We will have to perform open surgery now.
0:39:04 > 0:39:06No, please... Stay away from him.
0:39:06 > 0:39:09I'm in charge now. I think we all just need to calm down a bit.
0:39:09 > 0:39:12You've turned your son's relatively stable condition into
0:39:12 > 0:39:15a medical emergency. But I'm his mother! Well, start acting like one,
0:39:15 > 0:39:17would you?! Mr Hanssen, I think the woman is in shock.
0:39:17 > 0:39:20What if you're wrong? What if he dies?!
0:39:20 > 0:39:22Without surgery he'll die anyway.
0:39:22 > 0:39:24And with your history of mental illness, do you think any court
0:39:24 > 0:39:28would support your judgment over mine? Let's get him into theatre.
0:39:30 > 0:39:33He's in good hands, OK? Come this way.
0:39:39 > 0:39:44Oh... Look, you sure you still want to do this?
0:39:44 > 0:39:45No, but it's a bit late now, isn't it?
0:39:45 > 0:39:48You must be Jac! Congratulations!
0:39:48 > 0:39:50On what? The baby.
0:39:50 > 0:39:55Oh, yeah. That. Such an exciting time, your first pregnancy.
0:39:55 > 0:39:57I've got four. Why?
0:39:57 > 0:40:00Always wanted a big family. Going for five, actually.
0:40:00 > 0:40:03You are aware that multiple births greatly increase
0:40:03 > 0:40:05the risk of pelvic-organ collapse?
0:40:05 > 0:40:08I'd quit while you're ahead. Better get a mat.
0:40:11 > 0:40:14Right, everyone, if you could just either grab a ball
0:40:14 > 0:40:15or a mat and find a space.
0:40:15 > 0:40:18I feel like I'm back at school. I hated school.
0:40:18 > 0:40:19Well, I was all for not coming, remember?
0:40:24 > 0:40:28Lovely. So we're going to start with some simple relaxation exercises.
0:40:28 > 0:40:32Sit up straight, put your hands on your belly...
0:40:32 > 0:40:36and just feel it rise and fall as you inhale through your nose.
0:40:41 > 0:40:47Jonny, if you just want to kneel behind Jac. Right.
0:40:47 > 0:40:50Supporting her back. That's it, like that. Right.
0:40:54 > 0:40:56This'll be interesting.
0:40:56 > 0:40:59I don't think I've seen you relax a single day since we met.
0:41:01 > 0:41:03Oh! (Stop pushing me!)
0:41:07 > 0:41:09I just want to ask one thing.
0:41:09 > 0:41:12That you treat Joshua with the same care that you would your own son.
0:41:18 > 0:41:20Mr Hanssen...you OK?
0:41:24 > 0:41:27Uh, yes, I'm fine. I'll be with you in a moment. Take him in.
0:41:29 > 0:41:30Ms Spencer?
0:41:34 > 0:41:35If you loved your son...
0:41:36 > 0:41:38..why did you walk away?
0:41:38 > 0:41:40I thought I was too damaged.
0:41:41 > 0:41:44Running away felt like the only solution.
0:41:44 > 0:41:46Mr Hanssen, the team's ready.
0:41:54 > 0:41:57CHLOE: No-one's telling me the truth in here!
0:41:58 > 0:42:00CHLOE SOBS
0:42:02 > 0:42:05Sorry, Sister Williams, she just went mental.
0:42:05 > 0:42:08I looked up pulmonary embolism on my phone.
0:42:08 > 0:42:11It's like a death sentence. Surprised she could spell it.
0:42:11 > 0:42:13That's simply not true. Nobody's said you had a PE.
0:42:13 > 0:42:15We are only sending you to Darwin as a precaution.
0:42:15 > 0:42:18What's Darwin? It's our cardiothoracic ward.
0:42:18 > 0:42:22Cardio... They think I'm going to have a heart attack?
0:42:22 > 0:42:24No, no, your medication is working, you are going to be fine.
0:42:24 > 0:42:28But my heart's banging. Yeah, that's because you're being hysterical.
0:42:28 > 0:42:30No, it's real. Please, please, help me...
0:42:30 > 0:42:34Chloe, listen, you have to stop this now. You're making yourself ill.
0:42:34 > 0:42:39SHE HYPERVENTILATES Chrissie, you OK? You saying I'm faking it?
0:42:39 > 0:42:40No, I'm not.
0:42:40 > 0:42:43Cos you have no idea what it's like to be this sick!
0:42:43 > 0:42:45Actually, she does, she's got cancer!
0:42:48 > 0:42:52Cancer?! Oh, my God, I'm so sorry.
0:42:52 > 0:42:54Chrissie...
0:42:54 > 0:42:56FAINTLY: OK. I just need some fresh air...
0:42:58 > 0:43:01Chrissie!
0:43:01 > 0:43:02Get Mr Levy!
0:43:06 > 0:43:07It's Chrissie!
0:43:17 > 0:43:20Chrissie? Chrissie!
0:43:20 > 0:43:23That's it, that's it. Chrissie, can you hear me?
0:43:23 > 0:43:24Thank you.
0:43:28 > 0:43:31Scalpel, please. ..Thank you.
0:43:32 > 0:43:34So, making midline incision...
0:43:45 > 0:43:46Mr Hanssen?
0:43:51 > 0:43:56Mr Malick, you've been observing all day, perhaps you'd care to lead?
0:43:57 > 0:43:59Of course. I'd be happy to.
0:44:02 > 0:44:05When baby's head is delivered, you then pull downwards on baby's head,
0:44:05 > 0:44:08like this...to deliver the shoulders and the body.
0:44:08 > 0:44:11No. You'd wait for the head to turn naturally.
0:44:11 > 0:44:14I have done this demonstration many times...
0:44:14 > 0:44:16And I've delivered real, live infants.
0:44:16 > 0:44:18And it's "THE baby", by the way.
0:44:18 > 0:44:21We feel "baby" sounds more friendly, intimate.
0:44:21 > 0:44:24Or patronising. Depending on your point of view.
0:44:24 > 0:44:28When the head has turned, it'll be looking sideways again.
0:44:28 > 0:44:30This is called restitution.
0:44:30 > 0:44:34Only then do you pull downwards and deliver the shoulders and body.
0:44:34 > 0:44:36Thank you, Jac, for that clarification.
0:44:36 > 0:44:38I'm sure the class are very grateful.
0:44:38 > 0:44:41Oh, unless the baby's head gets stuck, of course,
0:44:41 > 0:44:43then you're looking at an episiotomy, which is just...
0:44:43 > 0:44:46It's a nightmare, isn't it. (Ouch.)
0:45:00 > 0:45:01What happened?
0:45:04 > 0:45:06You're exhausted and you collapsed.
0:45:08 > 0:45:12Go on then, say it. You told me so.
0:45:15 > 0:45:17Chrissie...I've let you down.
0:45:19 > 0:45:22Oh, Sacha, neither of us have done this before.
0:45:22 > 0:45:30No. You were right. I've been self-centred and...weak,
0:45:30 > 0:45:31and useless.
0:45:31 > 0:45:34And it is because I'm so scared I'm going to lose you.
0:45:42 > 0:45:45I've got to get to the nursery. No. I said I'd pick Daniel up, I promised.
0:45:45 > 0:45:48You're not well enough. You're not well enough, I'll go. Sacha, please,
0:45:48 > 0:45:50I've got to go this time. You know that's not a good idea.
0:45:50 > 0:45:53OK? You need to rest.
0:45:57 > 0:46:01That's it. (OK. OK.)
0:46:04 > 0:46:06PHONE RINGS
0:46:10 > 0:46:12RINGING CONTINUES
0:46:16 > 0:46:17OK. Scissors.
0:46:21 > 0:46:23Cutting the lienorenal ligament.
0:46:33 > 0:46:35Delivering the spleen.
0:46:43 > 0:46:46OK, people, let's close it up.
0:46:49 > 0:46:52You actually only need an extra 200 calories a day.
0:46:52 > 0:46:54Eating for two is a myth.
0:46:54 > 0:46:57Pile on the pounds and you increase the risk of diabetes,
0:46:57 > 0:47:00high blood pressure and premature birth.
0:47:01 > 0:47:04Right, if we can just gather round and form a circle.
0:47:06 > 0:47:09On the balls, on the floor. Whatever's comfortable.
0:47:11 > 0:47:14So this final session is called Question Time.
0:47:14 > 0:47:17It's really a chance to ask about anything
0:47:17 > 0:47:18that might be troubling you.
0:47:18 > 0:47:21It's a quiet and confidential space here.
0:47:21 > 0:47:24Sometimes people have issues with sex in pregnancy.
0:47:24 > 0:47:27It can feel like rather a taboo subject.
0:47:29 > 0:47:30Oh, we don't actually have sex.
0:47:30 > 0:47:33It won't harm the baby, Jac, if that's what's concerning you?
0:47:33 > 0:47:35Oh, no, no. It's not an issue.
0:47:35 > 0:47:37He's not my partner. Just the biological father.
0:47:45 > 0:47:48The operation went as well as it could have.
0:47:48 > 0:47:49Joshua's going to be fine.
0:47:49 > 0:47:51THEY GASP
0:47:51 > 0:47:52SHE SOBS
0:48:03 > 0:48:05I thought she was working all day?
0:48:05 > 0:48:08Erm, I think you should speak to Mr Levy.
0:48:08 > 0:48:10Is there a problem?
0:48:10 > 0:48:13Tim, I'm sorry, can I have a word, please? Thanks.
0:48:25 > 0:48:29My wife has been admitted as a patient.
0:48:29 > 0:48:31She collapsed on the ward.
0:48:31 > 0:48:34Oh, no, poor Chrissie. I'm so sorry.
0:48:34 > 0:48:35Tim, look...
0:48:37 > 0:48:39I know you mean well, OK, but...
0:48:39 > 0:48:41I'm afraid you've just made things worse.
0:48:41 > 0:48:43Encouraging her to push herself like a lunatic.
0:48:43 > 0:48:46Hang on, it wasn't like that. What was it like, then?
0:48:46 > 0:48:51We just talked! She was upset about Daniel not having Monkey,
0:48:51 > 0:48:53she got a bit teary...
0:48:53 > 0:48:55So she told you what an appalling father I am?
0:48:56 > 0:48:59She was worried about Daniel not having his mum around.
0:48:59 > 0:49:02What, that I only ever let him down?
0:49:02 > 0:49:07Look, all I tried to do was to get her to focus on the positive.
0:49:07 > 0:49:10I know what it's like to have dark days! The thing is...
0:49:11 > 0:49:14..you're at the end of your heroic journey to recovery,
0:49:14 > 0:49:18which is great, OK? Chrissie still has a very long way to go.
0:49:19 > 0:49:23Sacha... Look, you have known this woman for five minutes.
0:49:23 > 0:49:25I'm her husband.
0:49:26 > 0:49:28I know exactly what she needs - she needs peace and quiet
0:49:28 > 0:49:30and the love of her family, OK?
0:49:31 > 0:49:33So I think it's best if you stay away.
0:49:37 > 0:49:39Fine. Fine.
0:49:49 > 0:49:50Can you just make sure she gets this?
0:49:52 > 0:49:53Please?
0:50:16 > 0:50:19I know you think I'm a terrible person for walking out on my son.
0:50:21 > 0:50:24I'm not in a position to judge you for that.
0:50:24 > 0:50:25Didn't feel like that earlier.
0:50:26 > 0:50:28I said what I had to say to get through to you
0:50:28 > 0:50:30in your highly emotional state.
0:50:30 > 0:50:34To achieve the best outcome for my patient. And I succeeded.
0:50:35 > 0:50:38It was more than that. I could feel it.
0:50:39 > 0:50:41You cared for him like he was your own son.
0:50:44 > 0:50:45Thank you.
0:50:50 > 0:50:54Well, thanks for that, Naylor. Now the whole group thinks I'm gay.
0:50:54 > 0:50:55Oh, is it cramping your style?
0:50:56 > 0:50:58Who'd have believed it, eh, Jac?
0:50:58 > 0:51:01Yeah, I can do "normal mum" if I put my mind to it.
0:51:01 > 0:51:04Normal? You and normal don't even belong in the same sentence.
0:51:04 > 0:51:07You always have to ruin it, Maconie. Well, look at today!
0:51:07 > 0:51:11First you warn our baby leader of the imminent collapse of her womb.
0:51:11 > 0:51:13Then you shoot holes in her medical expertise.
0:51:13 > 0:51:18Then you make me out to be some kind of...weird, random sperm donor.
0:51:18 > 0:51:20Yeah, it's fun, isn't it?
0:51:20 > 0:51:22Forgot my jumper, sorry.
0:51:23 > 0:51:26What's someone like that Jac woman doing getting pregnant?
0:51:26 > 0:51:28Surprised she didn't do something about it.
0:51:28 > 0:51:30It was so embarrassing, I didn't know where to look.
0:51:30 > 0:51:33And I can't imagine her as a single mother, can you?
0:51:33 > 0:51:35Totally clueless. I pity that poor baby.
0:51:35 > 0:51:37I pity yours.
0:51:39 > 0:51:42We can't all live in your perfect, smug little world
0:51:42 > 0:51:45with your perfect lives and perfect babies.
0:51:45 > 0:51:47Look, Jonny, I'm sorry.
0:51:47 > 0:51:50Our baby has a congenital diaphragmatic hernia.
0:51:50 > 0:51:53She has a 50% chance of surviving birth.
0:51:53 > 0:51:57She could die within days or live with serious complications.
0:51:59 > 0:52:01Which I'm sure you'll all agree is...
0:52:01 > 0:52:03It's really quite something to deal with.
0:52:06 > 0:52:10Jac is an amazing woman and she was incredibly brave to come here today.
0:52:10 > 0:52:12HE SNIFFS
0:52:12 > 0:52:16And I was just hoping you could give her some...encouragement.
0:52:18 > 0:52:19A wee bit of support.
0:52:21 > 0:52:24I hope you're all feeling really proud of yourselves.
0:52:27 > 0:52:30'Doors opening. Lift going up.'
0:52:30 > 0:52:33Mr Malick. Mr Hanssen. Have you a moment?
0:52:35 > 0:52:36Course.
0:52:37 > 0:52:38How did you find today?
0:52:38 > 0:52:40Could hardly have been a more testing case.
0:52:42 > 0:52:45It was tough. But I really learned something.
0:52:47 > 0:52:48I'm not just saying that.
0:52:51 > 0:52:52When you said all that stuff to his mum...
0:52:54 > 0:52:56..it seemed a bit over the top.
0:52:56 > 0:52:58Cruel.
0:52:58 > 0:53:01To be honest, I thought you'd lost it.
0:53:01 > 0:53:03You know, like the old Malick on a bad day.
0:53:05 > 0:53:07But now...I get it.
0:53:09 > 0:53:14Joshua was my patient. My priority. I did what had to be done.
0:53:14 > 0:53:16Yeah, but I could see you really felt for that boy.
0:53:16 > 0:53:19We have to be able to keep some distance from those feelings,
0:53:19 > 0:53:22though, in order to keep perspective, Mr Malick.
0:53:22 > 0:53:24I know you think that's my problem.
0:53:24 > 0:53:26And you might not believe I'm ready yet,
0:53:26 > 0:53:29but I just want to say that I understand.
0:53:29 > 0:53:30Properly this time.
0:53:32 > 0:53:34Mr Malick. I have made my decision.
0:53:36 > 0:53:38You did very well in theatre today.
0:53:38 > 0:53:40But you don't trust that I can handle the pressure - it's OK, I get it.
0:53:40 > 0:53:43Still jumping to conclusions.
0:53:43 > 0:53:45I thought you'd learnt to control those emotional impulses.
0:53:45 > 0:53:48I better go before I get myself into more trouble.
0:53:48 > 0:53:50Not before you give me your formal resignation.
0:53:56 > 0:53:57Mr Hanssen, please...
0:53:57 > 0:54:00You see, I need your resignation before I can offer you
0:54:00 > 0:54:01the post of consultant.
0:54:03 > 0:54:05What are you saying?
0:54:05 > 0:54:06It's mine?
0:54:06 > 0:54:08For real?
0:54:11 > 0:54:12Congratulations.
0:54:14 > 0:54:15Wow...
0:54:18 > 0:54:21Thank you. Thank you so much!
0:54:23 > 0:54:25Mr Malick.
0:54:25 > 0:54:30Ahem. Control that impulse. Got it.
0:54:34 > 0:54:36You know what? I've been thinking about it,
0:54:36 > 0:54:38and you were right the first time, man.
0:54:38 > 0:54:40Those classes are a waste of time.
0:54:40 > 0:54:42I don't know. The flapjacks were good.
0:54:42 > 0:54:45But did you enjoy yourself? Learn anything?
0:54:45 > 0:54:47Apart from the fact that you're a closet homosexual, no.
0:54:47 > 0:54:49Right then. We're not going back.
0:54:49 > 0:54:51Yeah, but what about my game plan, fitting in,
0:54:51 > 0:54:53doing what normal people do?
0:54:53 > 0:54:55See you. Take it easy.
0:54:55 > 0:54:58But we're not normal, Jac. Never have been, never will be.
0:54:58 > 0:55:01And if those are normal mothers, forget it!
0:55:01 > 0:55:02We're better off on our own.
0:55:09 > 0:55:10Hey!
0:55:27 > 0:55:30You need to knock when you come in here, Malick.
0:55:30 > 0:55:31Not any more.
0:55:32 > 0:55:35Say hello to your new consultant.
0:55:38 > 0:55:41Hey, darling! Come here.
0:55:45 > 0:55:46How are you?
0:55:46 > 0:55:50You found Monkey? Well, we bought the biggest ice-cream we could find
0:55:50 > 0:55:52because he's been such a good boy.
0:55:52 > 0:55:54See? I promised you.
0:55:54 > 0:55:59And how was your first day at school? Was it good?
0:55:59 > 0:56:01Teacher said he was absolutely fantastic.
0:56:01 > 0:56:03He had a wonderful time.
0:56:03 > 0:56:06Did she say he was ticklish?
0:56:06 > 0:56:08Did she say? Yes!
