0:00:00 > 0:00:01We weren't expecting you today.

0:00:40 > 0:00:43I asked Nurse Carter for Oxacillin and she gave me the wrong drug.

0:00:43 > 0:00:46Look, this is between you and Edward. So you think I'm a liar!

0:00:46 > 0:00:48I don't want anything from you.

0:00:48 > 0:00:51It's not from me, it's from Mum. She wanted you to have it on Christmas Eve.

0:00:51 > 0:00:54Have you ever seen Edward drinking at work?

0:00:54 > 0:00:57What?! That girl has completely lost it this time.

0:00:57 > 0:01:00We're losing him, get the anaesthetist, please. I'm fine.

0:01:00 > 0:01:03I'd like you to leave my theatre, please. Now.

0:01:03 > 0:01:07All right, I had a couple of shots. Come on, it's Christmas.

0:01:07 > 0:01:08I love you. It's too late.

0:01:12 > 0:01:17# Maybe it's much too early in the game

0:01:20 > 0:01:24# Oh, but I thought I'd ask you just the same

0:01:26 > 0:01:28# What are you doing

0:01:28 > 0:01:32# New Year's

0:01:32 > 0:01:36# New Year's Eve?

0:01:40 > 0:01:46# Wonder whose arms will hold you good and tight

0:01:46 > 0:01:52# When it's exactly twelve o'clock that night

0:01:54 > 0:01:59# Welcoming in the New Year

0:01:59 > 0:02:01# New Year's Eve... #

0:02:01 > 0:02:02Hey... Wake up!

0:02:04 > 0:02:06Pat?

0:02:06 > 0:02:08Pat, is that you?!

0:02:08 > 0:02:11Pat! Oh, no...

0:02:11 > 0:02:14Come on, Pat.

0:02:14 > 0:02:16Wake up?! Pat, wake up.

0:02:22 > 0:02:26Ms Campbell... I just wanted to say how gutted I was about Edward...

0:02:26 > 0:02:28Must've been a pretty tough Christmas for you.

0:02:28 > 0:02:30It was lovely, thanks.

0:02:30 > 0:02:32I didn't have a clue, by the way. No-one did.

0:02:32 > 0:02:35Just in case you thought you were the last to know.

0:02:35 > 0:02:37It really didn't cross my mind.

0:02:37 > 0:02:40You've got to hand it to him though,

0:02:40 > 0:02:42bloody good at covering his tracks. Dr Tressler,

0:02:42 > 0:02:45you may have nothing better to do than gossip all day but I do.

0:02:54 > 0:02:58Good Christmas? I'm late. Did you get your present? I don't want to have this conversation.

0:02:58 > 0:03:02What does that mean? That I'd like to keep things professional. So, if you'll excuse me...?

0:03:02 > 0:03:04Professional people do talk to each other...

0:03:04 > 0:03:06try and find ways of getting on.

0:03:06 > 0:03:07But we don't...

0:03:07 > 0:03:10get on. It's just the way it is. It doesn't have to stay that way.

0:03:10 > 0:03:13It's too late. Mum would want us to at least try.

0:03:13 > 0:03:15Don't. Just don't.

0:03:18 > 0:03:19Yes, I'll hold...

0:03:19 > 0:03:22Alcohol poisoning? Bed five, please, thank you.

0:03:22 > 0:03:24Hello? Hello!

0:03:24 > 0:03:26He'll have to join the queue

0:03:26 > 0:03:29of low-life binge drinkers on the corridor.

0:03:29 > 0:03:31Great. Happy New Year to you as well!

0:03:32 > 0:03:34Afraid I'm going to add to your load.

0:03:34 > 0:03:37Not me, girlfriend. Oh, someone's got to do it.

0:03:37 > 0:03:40And you have that faintly odious salesman's charm that the punters love.

0:03:40 > 0:03:42Is that supposed to be a compliment?

0:03:42 > 0:03:45The draw's at midnight, Cinderella. I want all of these sold.

0:03:45 > 0:03:47Get one of the HCAs to do it.

0:03:47 > 0:03:51Holby is a community, Dr Tressler. Everybody has to play their part.

0:03:51 > 0:03:54Hang on, I am the ultimate team player. Ask anybody.

0:03:58 > 0:04:02Yeah, not sure she'd agree with that...

0:04:09 > 0:04:11On a go slow, Dr Digby?

0:04:11 > 0:04:13Ms Campbell! Argh!

0:04:13 > 0:04:16We weren't expecting you today.

0:04:16 > 0:04:18Clearly.

0:04:18 > 0:04:22I just wanted to say how sorry I was...to hear about...

0:04:22 > 0:04:23well...you and...um...

0:04:26 > 0:04:28Better clear this up, hadn't I?

0:04:28 > 0:04:29Yes.

0:04:32 > 0:04:35Serena. Bay three, please...

0:04:38 > 0:04:40Good to see you.

0:04:40 > 0:04:43I take it you've heard about my darling ex?

0:04:44 > 0:04:45Yes.

0:04:45 > 0:04:47Are you sure that you should be back so soon?

0:04:47 > 0:04:50Yes, yes, yes. Work's a welcome distraction.

0:04:50 > 0:04:53And as Churchill once said,

0:04:53 > 0:04:56"If you're going through hell, keep going..."

0:05:07 > 0:05:09Oh, I've got a New Year's resolution for you.

0:05:09 > 0:05:12Sort your desk out. It's like a rain forest on here.

0:05:12 > 0:05:16What are you looking for? The research on the Advanced Development Programme...

0:05:16 > 0:05:19It can wait. You've been on my back about it for weeks.

0:05:19 > 0:05:20I said it can wait, Colette.

0:05:21 > 0:05:23Who rattled your cage?

0:05:23 > 0:05:26Ah, let me guess. Your darling daughter.

0:05:26 > 0:05:31She says she wants a "purely professional" relationship.

0:05:31 > 0:05:32I'm her dad, for heaven's sake.

0:05:32 > 0:05:34You won't get anywhere by bullying her, Guy.

0:05:34 > 0:05:36She used to be a real Daddy's girl.

0:05:36 > 0:05:40Until she grew up and realised her worship was misplaced.

0:05:40 > 0:05:42No, I was never as bad as that.

0:05:42 > 0:05:45How many birthdays did you miss? Holidays?

0:05:45 > 0:05:48Look, if she says she wants a professional relationship,

0:05:48 > 0:05:49build on that.

0:05:49 > 0:05:52Make her feel valued. At least it's a way in.

0:06:01 > 0:06:05Janey... Hi, you couldn't do me a massive favour, could you?

0:06:08 > 0:06:10OK, Pat. Don't worry. Not long now.

0:06:12 > 0:06:15You are an absolute star. I owe you dinner some time.

0:06:15 > 0:06:17Thank you so much.

0:06:17 > 0:06:21Ah... I see your drinking buddy decided to pay us another visit, will he ever learn?

0:06:21 > 0:06:24I found him collapsed. His pulse is weak and I'm not getting any sense out of him.

0:06:24 > 0:06:26Well, that will be the meths.

0:06:26 > 0:06:29I think he's hit his head. He needs some attention. Now.

0:06:29 > 0:06:35He will have to wait in line like everybody else, I'm afraid.

0:06:35 > 0:06:37No, no. You can't put him in there.

0:06:37 > 0:06:41Well, I'm not leaving him on the corridor. Come on. You owe me, Harry.

0:06:45 > 0:06:47You need to look at these today.

0:06:47 > 0:06:50It's a short list of anaesthetists for Mr Campbell's job.

0:06:50 > 0:06:52No, a locum's fine.

0:06:52 > 0:06:56And expensive. What about your initiative to cover costs?

0:06:56 > 0:06:59You deal with it. I've got real work to do.

0:06:59 > 0:07:01KNOCK ON DOOR Yeah?

0:07:03 > 0:07:05You're supposed to be on leave.

0:07:05 > 0:07:09I thought I'd be more useful here. There's only so many chocolate oranges you can eat.

0:07:09 > 0:07:13I've done some ringing around for Mr Campbell's replacement.

0:07:13 > 0:07:15These are the CVs. Colette's got that covered.

0:07:15 > 0:07:17But it's my responsibility...

0:07:17 > 0:07:19I'll leave you to it.

0:07:21 > 0:07:25Right, well I've also been researching ways to improve efficiency.

0:07:25 > 0:07:26Really not interested.

0:07:26 > 0:07:28But as Deputy CEO, it's part of my job...

0:07:28 > 0:07:32I need someone to lighten the load. Not add to it.

0:07:32 > 0:07:34I'm perfectly capable of working alone

0:07:34 > 0:07:36and taking full responsibility, if that's what's required.

0:07:36 > 0:07:39I beg to differ after your spectacular

0:07:39 > 0:07:41lapse of judgment on Christmas Eve.

0:07:41 > 0:07:44I thought you'd come here to apologise.

0:07:44 > 0:07:47That was Mr Campbell's lapse of judgment. Not mine.

0:07:47 > 0:07:49Mr Campbell should not have been allowed anywhere near

0:07:49 > 0:07:51this hospital with his history of alcohol abuse.

0:07:51 > 0:07:55There was a gap in his CV that you failed to investigate

0:07:55 > 0:07:57and I'm supposed to trust you.

0:07:57 > 0:08:01Go home, Serena. Finish your leave.

0:08:01 > 0:08:03We all make mistakes.

0:08:03 > 0:08:07But some of us just need more time than others to learn from them.

0:08:15 > 0:08:17So how was your Christmas?

0:08:17 > 0:08:19Can we cut all this you pretending to be nice to me

0:08:19 > 0:08:22and me pretending to forget how you hung me out to dry?

0:08:22 > 0:08:24It wasn't like that.

0:08:24 > 0:08:26Well, I know you want everybody to love you, Harry,

0:08:26 > 0:08:29but you've got to act like a human being to deserve it.

0:08:29 > 0:08:32And you need to lighten up. It's New Year.

0:08:32 > 0:08:34Is it really so hard to say sorry?

0:08:38 > 0:08:39Oh, man... This hurts so bad.

0:08:39 > 0:08:43You've got badly bruised ribs and abdominal tenderness.

0:08:43 > 0:08:46We're going to need to take a closer look.

0:08:46 > 0:08:52FBC, WBC, LFT, Us, group and save, cross match four units.

0:08:52 > 0:08:55Plus chest, pelvis and C spine X-rays. Got it, yeah.

0:08:55 > 0:08:59Sounds like a lot of tests. It's bad, isn't it? Well, there was obviously quite an impact.

0:08:59 > 0:09:01We just need to be aware

0:09:01 > 0:09:04there is no hidden bleeding or internal injuries.

0:09:04 > 0:09:06It's all my fault. Can't believe I was so stupid.

0:09:06 > 0:09:11You really need to stay calm. I wasn't on anything if that's what you're thinking. Jordan...

0:09:11 > 0:09:14I was driving to a mate's party, missed my turning,

0:09:14 > 0:09:17swerved and hit a wall... No-one else was hurt. That's the main thing.

0:09:17 > 0:09:21You don't understand. This could be bad for me, man. It's not going to help if you get anxious.

0:09:21 > 0:09:22You're in good hands.

0:09:22 > 0:09:24PAGER BEEPS

0:09:24 > 0:09:26So you're going to make me better?

0:09:26 > 0:09:28We'll do our best. No, no, swear.

0:09:28 > 0:09:29You have my word.

0:09:29 > 0:09:35Serena. I need to get back to AAU.

0:09:35 > 0:09:37Jordan Metcalfe, could I leave him with you, please?

0:09:37 > 0:09:40Where's Sacha? No idea, but all hell's about to break loose down there.

0:09:40 > 0:09:44We're expecting a potentially serious neuro case up from ED.

0:09:44 > 0:09:47These are his notes. Dr Digby's organising the tests now.

0:09:47 > 0:09:51Right, well, I can keep an eye on things till Sacha gets here but...

0:09:51 > 0:09:53Mr Self wants me to go back on leave.

0:09:55 > 0:09:56Why?

0:09:57 > 0:10:00I'm not fit for work, apparently.

0:10:00 > 0:10:02He gave me quite a character assassination.

0:10:02 > 0:10:05PAGER BEEPS

0:10:05 > 0:10:06Go, I'm fine.

0:10:20 > 0:10:23MACHINE BEEPS

0:10:28 > 0:10:30It's not looking good.

0:10:30 > 0:10:31What's the story?

0:10:32 > 0:10:35Male in his 60s, seemingly fit and well.

0:10:35 > 0:10:37Had a seizure when he was out for a run.

0:10:37 > 0:10:40It looks like an intrinsic tumour near the motor strip.

0:10:40 > 0:10:42Send him over to Keller and I'll take a view.

0:10:44 > 0:10:45One more thing...

0:10:47 > 0:10:50Serena Campbell, I've known her for some time.

0:10:52 > 0:10:56Edward's humiliation has been hard for her,

0:10:56 > 0:10:57as was not getting the CEO job.

0:10:57 > 0:10:59And she's no use to me till she's over it.

0:10:59 > 0:11:01She needs to work.

0:11:01 > 0:11:04Work is the only constant in her life right now.

0:11:05 > 0:11:08I've been in that position. I'm sure we all have.

0:11:10 > 0:11:12Don't make her pay for his failings.

0:11:20 > 0:11:22His results are back.

0:11:22 > 0:11:24All good apart from the alcohol levels in his blood.

0:11:24 > 0:11:26No surprises there.

0:11:26 > 0:11:29I reckon it's just a clear-cut case of mild hypothermia,

0:11:29 > 0:11:32but I've ordered a head CT just to rule out anything more sinister.

0:11:34 > 0:11:35My guardian angel.

0:11:36 > 0:11:37Ah. It lives.

0:11:38 > 0:11:41I knew you'd save me. What happened?

0:11:41 > 0:11:44Bought myself a bottle of whisky. See in the New Year.

0:11:46 > 0:11:47I couldn't wait.

0:11:47 > 0:11:49Oh, Pat.

0:11:49 > 0:11:51I was on a wall, singing me heart out.

0:11:52 > 0:11:54Woke up in the gutter with blood on my face.

0:11:56 > 0:12:00So I came to find you. Must've passed out.

0:12:02 > 0:12:03My bag! Where's my bag?!

0:12:03 > 0:12:06Whoa, Whoa... You're not going anywhere, mate.

0:12:06 > 0:12:07I need my bag. Find it...

0:12:08 > 0:12:11..please.

0:12:11 > 0:12:14What's he got in there? Platinum Visa Card?

0:12:14 > 0:12:15Magnum of vintage scrumpy?

0:12:15 > 0:12:19Whatever it is, it's important to him. It's all he has.

0:12:19 > 0:12:21All right, I was joking.

0:12:21 > 0:12:24You know, Pat's a real person... with feelings. But not that you'd care.

0:12:24 > 0:12:26The only person you care about is yourself.

0:12:28 > 0:12:29I'll go.

0:12:29 > 0:12:31I was due a break anyway.

0:12:31 > 0:12:37Excuse me. I'm looking for Ian Shackleton. He had a seizure...

0:12:37 > 0:12:38Yep.

0:12:38 > 0:12:40Oh, no.

0:12:43 > 0:12:45It's all right, I'm here now.

0:12:45 > 0:12:47I'm so tired.

0:12:48 > 0:12:50Hello, I'm Mr Self.

0:12:50 > 0:12:52He was fine this morning. I don't understand.

0:12:52 > 0:12:54I mean, did he fall?

0:12:54 > 0:12:55Mrs Shackleton...

0:12:55 > 0:12:57It's Warner. Sheila Warner.

0:12:57 > 0:13:00I'm a neurosurgical consultant.

0:13:00 > 0:13:02Neuro...?

0:13:02 > 0:13:05Ian's seizure was caused by a tumour

0:13:05 > 0:13:08pressing down on the motor strip of his brain.

0:13:08 > 0:13:10A brain tumour? Yes, I know it's a shock.

0:13:11 > 0:13:14We're sending him for an MRI, a more detailed scan.

0:13:14 > 0:13:18That will give us a better idea of what we're actually dealing with.

0:13:18 > 0:13:21PATIENT GROANS ST changes on the monitor. Sats 90.

0:13:21 > 0:13:23B/P 100/65.

0:13:23 > 0:13:26Give him 100% oxygen. And I'll get Professor Hope paged to Keller.

0:13:26 > 0:13:28No, no. I'll take him to Darwin myself.

0:13:28 > 0:13:33Mr Self... I mean, what's happening? He's showing signs of distress and we're going to have to move him.

0:13:33 > 0:13:36But the tumour... We'll have to deal with the heart symptoms first.

0:13:36 > 0:13:38Please, you'll just have to trust me.

0:13:41 > 0:13:43YELPING

0:13:58 > 0:14:02Hello, boy, hello, hello.

0:14:02 > 0:14:06Like I told you, yeah? I missed my turning and I swerved.

0:14:06 > 0:14:09And what speed were you doing?

0:14:09 > 0:14:12Ms Campbell. Jordan Metcalfe's blood test results.

0:14:13 > 0:14:15You still here?

0:14:15 > 0:14:18Yes, Sacha called in sick. I thought I'd better wait for you.

0:14:18 > 0:14:20What are the police doing here?

0:14:20 > 0:14:24Follow up after the accident. I told them they couldn't stay long.

0:14:24 > 0:14:25And how's Jordan doing?

0:14:25 > 0:14:27Bloods are fine and

0:14:27 > 0:14:29there's nothing obvious in the X-ray but he is in a lot of pain.

0:14:29 > 0:14:32I'd like to order an abdominal ultrasound.

0:14:32 > 0:14:35Agreed. I'm sorry, officer, but you're going to have to come back.

0:14:35 > 0:14:37I think my patient's had enough.

0:14:39 > 0:14:41You said you'd take care of me.

0:14:41 > 0:14:43Well, I was called to an urgent case. You swore to me...

0:14:43 > 0:14:46Ms Campbell is a very experienced consultant.

0:14:46 > 0:14:49She let him in. The officer said it was just routine.

0:14:50 > 0:14:53I've just been accepted by the Royal Marines.

0:14:53 > 0:14:56They took a chance on me. I can't get into trouble.

0:14:56 > 0:14:58I understand.

0:14:58 > 0:15:02The good news is that we have found nothing thus far to cause us

0:15:02 > 0:15:03any major concern medically.

0:15:03 > 0:15:06But we would like to do an ultrasound to make absolutely sure.

0:15:06 > 0:15:10OK, but I want the best this time. No deputies.

0:15:15 > 0:15:19Technically speaking, I'm the boss.

0:15:19 > 0:15:22You just don't have any natural authority.

0:15:23 > 0:15:26Right, probably time I made myself scarce before Mr Self

0:15:26 > 0:15:29catches me disobeying orders.

0:15:29 > 0:15:30Happy New Year, when it comes.

0:15:30 > 0:15:32Thanks, you too.

0:15:32 > 0:15:38Ms Campbell. About earlier, I didn't mean to be insolent...

0:15:38 > 0:15:41Or act out of turn, I just...

0:15:41 > 0:15:45I know I can be a little bit tactless at times.

0:15:45 > 0:15:49But, but as someone who's been through testing times myself,

0:15:49 > 0:15:53I just wanted to say... Well, in the words of the great Napoleon,

0:15:53 > 0:15:56"Nothing is lost as long as courage remains."

0:15:59 > 0:16:01Thank you.

0:16:11 > 0:16:13Nearly there, mate.

0:16:13 > 0:16:14Coast is clear.

0:16:15 > 0:16:17Could you take these up to Darwin?

0:16:17 > 0:16:20Sure, is there anything else you need doing?

0:16:20 > 0:16:22No, it's all been done. Thank you very much.

0:16:22 > 0:16:23Dr Tressler.

0:16:23 > 0:16:27I've spoken to the bed manager, and I've made AAU priority.

0:16:27 > 0:16:30Thanks. Backlog's cleared now. So we're fine.

0:16:30 > 0:16:32WHIMPERING

0:16:32 > 0:16:33What was that?

0:16:33 > 0:16:38Oh. We've had a problem with vermin in the roof space.

0:16:38 > 0:16:41Right. I'll call pest control.

0:16:46 > 0:16:49You and me. We're wasted here, mate. We should be in MI5.

0:16:50 > 0:16:51Ms Campbell?

0:16:54 > 0:16:56I'm not in the mood for another beating

0:16:56 > 0:16:59so if one of your spies dobbed me in for still being here,

0:16:59 > 0:17:03I was covering in a moment of crisis at Mr Griffin's request.

0:17:03 > 0:17:05I'm leaving now, as you can see.

0:17:05 > 0:17:08We could do with another pair of hands if you think you're up to it.

0:17:10 > 0:17:11I never thought otherwise.

0:17:17 > 0:17:19Precious cargo coming through.

0:17:24 > 0:17:26Oh, you are joking me!

0:17:26 > 0:17:28Norman? Norman.

0:17:30 > 0:17:31There's a good boy. Here we go...

0:17:31 > 0:17:34Norman. Ah, there you are.

0:17:34 > 0:17:36You're safe now. It's all OK.

0:17:38 > 0:17:42You're all right, you are, for a stuck-up toff.

0:17:42 > 0:17:43Cheers.

0:17:45 > 0:17:47Ah, good. Where's Mr Griffin?

0:17:47 > 0:17:48Not available.

0:17:48 > 0:17:49Then I'll wait.

0:17:50 > 0:17:52Oh, please, Mr Metcalfe, can we get on?

0:17:52 > 0:17:54You're just one on a very long list.

0:17:54 > 0:17:57You remind me of a social worker I had once.

0:17:57 > 0:17:58Didn't give a damn about me.

0:17:58 > 0:18:00Just wanted to tick her little boxes.

0:18:00 > 0:18:02Now look. You are still in pain.

0:18:02 > 0:18:04Without a scan, we can't work out why.

0:18:04 > 0:18:06I said, I want Mr Griffin.

0:18:12 > 0:18:14Whoa, whoa, whoa. It's all right.

0:18:17 > 0:18:19Is there anyone I can call for you?

0:18:19 > 0:18:23No. You sure? You could be in hospital for quite some time.

0:18:23 > 0:18:26Went straight from kids' home to youth offenders.

0:18:27 > 0:18:31Marines were the first people who thought I was worth something.

0:18:32 > 0:18:33And maybe you are.

0:18:34 > 0:18:38But you'll be no use to them if you don't let us treat you.

0:18:39 > 0:18:40Please.

0:18:44 > 0:18:45OK.

0:18:45 > 0:18:48OK. Nurse, will you...?

0:18:54 > 0:18:56So... Last day.

0:18:56 > 0:18:59Out with the old, in with the new. Quite appropriate really.

0:18:59 > 0:19:01You know you're going to miss us, right?

0:19:01 > 0:19:04Sorry. I'm meeting the psych team on Keller in the morning.

0:19:04 > 0:19:07Have my first lecture with them. Cardio can't even begin to compete.

0:19:07 > 0:19:10You do know they're even weirder than us on Keller?

0:19:10 > 0:19:11No-one's weirder than Jac.

0:19:11 > 0:19:13Oh, I don't know, Digby comes a close second.

0:19:13 > 0:19:15Yeah, but he's like normal weird.

0:19:15 > 0:19:17I like weird. I'm weird.

0:19:17 > 0:19:20Well, you'll make the perfect psych then, won't you?

0:19:20 > 0:19:22Well, I'm going to miss you.

0:19:22 > 0:19:27Thanks. And I really think that you should re-consider specialising in surgery.

0:19:27 > 0:19:29Has my dad put you up to this?

0:19:29 > 0:19:31No. Not at all.

0:19:31 > 0:19:35But I've been around for a long time and I think you have rare potential.

0:19:35 > 0:19:38Something I haven't seen since Ms Naylor...

0:19:38 > 0:19:40I'm not interested.

0:19:40 > 0:19:43There's free fluid in the abdominal area.

0:19:43 > 0:19:45That plus the position of the seat belt injuries,

0:19:45 > 0:19:48I'd say indicates damage to the spleen.

0:19:48 > 0:19:52Well, nothing's certain at this stage. I suggest we watch and wait.

0:19:52 > 0:19:55Even if it is the spleen, some injuries heal themselves over time.

0:19:55 > 0:19:57You're needed in AAU.

0:19:57 > 0:20:00Right, if he becomes unstable, call me.

0:20:04 > 0:20:05Thank you.

0:20:08 > 0:20:11We need a biopsy so we know what we're dealing with.

0:20:11 > 0:20:13Then I'll have to operate to debulk the tumour.

0:20:13 > 0:20:16We need to determine what's causing the cardiac symptoms first

0:20:16 > 0:20:19otherwise he might not survive the surgery.

0:20:19 > 0:20:22Yes, but the longer we delay, the worse the prognosis.

0:20:22 > 0:20:25OK, I'll assess the ECG results and order an angiogram.

0:20:25 > 0:20:27That should give us a better idea.

0:20:27 > 0:20:29I'd like Dr March to be involved.

0:20:29 > 0:20:31It's an interesting surgical case for an F1.

0:20:31 > 0:20:36I've tried to encourage her to re-consider surgery.

0:20:36 > 0:20:38She is her father's daughter. Pig headed,

0:20:38 > 0:20:41driven, won't take advice from anyone.

0:20:41 > 0:20:42I'm saying nothing.

0:20:43 > 0:20:46Dr March, I have an interesting joint case.

0:20:46 > 0:20:48I'd like you to get involved

0:20:48 > 0:20:50on a purely professional basis, of course.

0:20:50 > 0:20:53I have other patients that take priority.

0:20:53 > 0:20:55Not according to Professor Hope. I don't think...

0:20:55 > 0:20:58I don't care what you think. You're working with me

0:20:58 > 0:21:00and that's an order.

0:21:03 > 0:21:05PHONE RINGS

0:21:10 > 0:21:14Stop ringing me, Edward. I mean it.

0:21:14 > 0:21:18Oh, sorry to crush your massive male ego but I'm absolutely fine.

0:21:19 > 0:21:20No, I'm at work.

0:21:20 > 0:21:23While you, no doubt, are propping up some sleazy bar

0:21:23 > 0:21:27with a pint of vodka and a gullible blonde on your knee.

0:21:27 > 0:21:28KNOCK ON DOOR

0:21:28 > 0:21:30Yes.

0:21:30 > 0:21:33Sorry to interrupt but it's Jordan Metcalfe.

0:21:33 > 0:21:36He's increasingly peritonitic.

0:21:36 > 0:21:38He's got a fever, he's feeling nauseous

0:21:38 > 0:21:41and the pain appears to be getting worse. Which indicates what?

0:21:41 > 0:21:45Perforation of an organ in the gastro-intestinal tract.

0:21:45 > 0:21:46What's happening?

0:21:46 > 0:21:48It's all right, it's all right. Argh!

0:21:48 > 0:21:51We need to get you into theatre.

0:21:51 > 0:21:53What, surgery? No way, man.

0:21:53 > 0:21:55I'm afraid we have no choice.

0:21:55 > 0:21:59We need to do this as quickly as possible. I'll alert theatre.

0:21:59 > 0:22:02I'll call Mr Griffin. There's no need. But he did say if he's unstable...

0:22:02 > 0:22:05The last time I checked, I was a consultant surgeon of more than ten years' standing.

0:22:05 > 0:22:08And I tell you there is no need.

0:22:08 > 0:22:10I'd like you to scrub in, please.

0:22:12 > 0:22:13Of course.

0:22:13 > 0:22:18He has a normal resting ECG, however, the angiogram shows the...

0:22:18 > 0:22:20Shall we get Dr March to tell us what she thinks?

0:22:30 > 0:22:34The results show good left ventricle function. No evidence of ischaemia.

0:22:34 > 0:22:37His angiogram shows a good left stem.

0:22:37 > 0:22:40However, there is a 30% narrowing of the left artery descending.

0:22:40 > 0:22:43The circumflex artery shows a minor irregularity.

0:22:43 > 0:22:47Right coronary artery shows mid segment with less than 50% lesion.

0:22:49 > 0:22:50Diagnosis?

0:22:50 > 0:22:54Borderline coronary artery disease that could lead to angina.

0:22:54 > 0:22:55Excellent.

0:22:55 > 0:22:57PHONE RINGS

0:22:57 > 0:22:58Colette...

0:23:01 > 0:23:04There's a 50-year-old man with ischaemic heart disease

0:23:04 > 0:23:06on his way up from ED and I can't find Mo.

0:23:06 > 0:23:10I'm on it. Not so fast, young lady. Page Mo.

0:23:10 > 0:23:11She can't have gone far. OK.

0:23:14 > 0:23:17Zosia, this is an extremely interesting case.

0:23:17 > 0:23:21Most juniors would bite their arm off to get involved...

0:23:21 > 0:23:24Most juniors aren't working with their estranged father.

0:23:24 > 0:23:26You mustn't let your personal feelings

0:23:26 > 0:23:28get in the way of your progress as a doctor.

0:23:28 > 0:23:29I didn't ask him to come here.

0:23:29 > 0:23:32Nevertheless, he's here. He's not going anywhere.

0:23:34 > 0:23:35You just have to rise above it.

0:23:42 > 0:23:45I feel like I'm signing my life away.

0:23:45 > 0:23:47Oh, this is only exploratory.

0:23:47 > 0:23:49It could be one of any number of things.

0:23:49 > 0:23:52So, I'll be fine, yeah? For the Marines?

0:23:52 > 0:23:54It's only very specific things that rule you out

0:23:54 > 0:23:56medically from the armed forces -

0:23:56 > 0:23:59asthma, diabetes, certain blood diseases.

0:23:59 > 0:24:01If we had to remove your spleen, for example...

0:24:01 > 0:24:03Spleen? Where's that?

0:24:05 > 0:24:10It's here, isn't it? I asked you a question, nerd.

0:24:10 > 0:24:12OK, I will see you in theatre, Dr Digby.

0:24:14 > 0:24:16Look, you can't take it, OK? I'll sue.

0:24:16 > 0:24:19Without wishing to sound dramatic, the aim is to save your life.

0:24:19 > 0:24:22But I will do my very best to save your spleen as well.

0:24:22 > 0:24:24So you think it might be...?

0:24:27 > 0:24:29Look, I understand how hard this is,

0:24:29 > 0:24:31but you're just going to have to trust me.

0:24:38 > 0:24:39OK, the good news -

0:24:39 > 0:24:43all the tests show that you didn't have a heart attack.

0:24:43 > 0:24:45You have angina, which is easily treated.

0:24:45 > 0:24:50We'll put you on medication in order to enable Mr Self to proceed.

0:24:50 > 0:24:52This just doesn't feel real.

0:24:52 > 0:24:54It's a lot to take in. We do understand that.

0:24:54 > 0:24:58I thought I was fit. I eat well, I run every day.

0:25:00 > 0:25:02I got a second chance with Sheila.

0:25:02 > 0:25:06I didn't want to mess that up.

0:25:06 > 0:25:09We, erm, we both lost our previous partners to illness.

0:25:12 > 0:25:15My arm doesn't move properly. What's happening?

0:25:17 > 0:25:20That will be the tumour starting to press

0:25:20 > 0:25:22on the motor area of your brain.

0:25:22 > 0:25:24But you can help him?

0:25:24 > 0:25:25We'll have to take it step by step.

0:25:25 > 0:25:27The first step is biopsy.

0:25:27 > 0:25:32The results will tell us what type of tumour we're dealing with and how to go forward from there.

0:25:32 > 0:25:35We're going to have to do it very quickly. If you're agreed?

0:25:38 > 0:25:39Retractor.

0:25:41 > 0:25:43Suction, please. Sorry, sorry.

0:25:43 > 0:25:45Can I have more light, please? I can't see a damn thing.

0:25:45 > 0:25:47I could page Mr Griffin? No, it's fine.

0:25:47 > 0:25:49We just need to clear this blood.

0:25:49 > 0:25:51It's just that he did say... quite clearly...

0:25:51 > 0:25:54I do hope you're not going to question my every move, Dr Digby.

0:25:57 > 0:25:59Oh, Pat. He's so cute.

0:25:59 > 0:26:00Where'd you find him?

0:26:00 > 0:26:01He found me.

0:26:01 > 0:26:07I was down the Mall in a doorway and these scumbags started on me.

0:26:07 > 0:26:09Then Norman pops out from nowhere, starts snarling,

0:26:09 > 0:26:11biting their ankles.

0:26:11 > 0:26:13They didn't like that. He's my little warrior...

0:26:15 > 0:26:19Good news, Pat. The scans of your head - absolutely fine so...

0:26:19 > 0:26:22Erm...Ms Sheward! Do something.

0:26:27 > 0:26:31A patient's complained about dog barking, you heard anything?

0:26:31 > 0:26:32Must be outside.

0:26:32 > 0:26:35Are you sure it was barking?

0:26:35 > 0:26:38Maybe it's that little matter that you mentioned earlier.

0:26:38 > 0:26:41Yes - could be. Yeah.

0:26:41 > 0:26:44Right, I'll call maintenance. Sorry to disturb you.

0:26:46 > 0:26:48Good boy, Norman. Good boy.

0:26:48 > 0:26:52Can I hold him, Doc? He's looking a bit poorly.

0:26:52 > 0:26:55He's probably starving, poor wee thing.

0:26:55 > 0:26:56Let me see what I can find.

0:27:02 > 0:27:06So have I proved myself as a decent human being?

0:27:06 > 0:27:08You've got a way to go yet.

0:27:10 > 0:27:12Wouldn't this normally be done under a local,

0:27:12 > 0:27:15so you could check his functional responses?

0:27:15 > 0:27:17You telling me how to do my job now?

0:27:17 > 0:27:19Professional interest.

0:27:19 > 0:27:21No, a biopsy is usually done under general.

0:27:21 > 0:27:25Don't forget, we're only taking a very small, sometimes microscopic,

0:27:25 > 0:27:30part of the tumour so the risk of causing a deficit is low.

0:27:30 > 0:27:32How long until we get the results?

0:27:32 > 0:27:3730 minutes. You said we, Dr March.

0:27:37 > 0:27:38Getting on board now?

0:27:38 > 0:27:41If I'm here, I might as well learn something.

0:27:41 > 0:27:43Has he got a chance?

0:27:43 > 0:27:47There's always a chance.

0:27:47 > 0:27:49Unless he arrests on the table. No pulse.

0:27:49 > 0:27:51He's lost output, gone into VF.

0:27:51 > 0:27:53Get Professor Hope! Now!

0:27:54 > 0:27:56Charge to 100.

0:27:56 > 0:27:58Shock.

0:27:58 > 0:27:59Nothing.

0:28:00 > 0:28:03Charge to 200.

0:28:03 > 0:28:04Shock.

0:28:04 > 0:28:05No response at 200.

0:28:07 > 0:28:11Dr March, make an incision in the left fifth intercostal space.

0:28:11 > 0:28:13MONITOR BEEPS

0:28:20 > 0:28:23But he seemed fine... He's just lying there, all depressed.

0:28:23 > 0:28:25Can you see anything? Any droppings?

0:28:25 > 0:28:26No, I can't see anything.

0:28:35 > 0:28:41Doc, you've got to help him. He's always so lively,

0:28:41 > 0:28:46he loves his grub. I've never seen him like this.

0:28:46 > 0:28:50Abdominal tenderness, hot nose.

0:28:50 > 0:28:51How's his drinking?

0:28:51 > 0:28:53Can't fill his bowl quick enough.

0:28:53 > 0:28:55You're going to have to take some bloods.

0:28:55 > 0:28:57Well, I wouldn't know where to start.

0:28:57 > 0:28:58Well, how hard can it be?

0:28:58 > 0:29:01I mean, do you want to help him or not?

0:29:04 > 0:29:06Right, let's start open cardiac massage.

0:29:06 > 0:29:07I'd like to do it.

0:29:10 > 0:29:11If you're sure.

0:29:24 > 0:29:25Do you need me to step in?

0:29:25 > 0:29:26I'm fine.

0:29:26 > 0:29:29MONITOR BEEPS

0:29:34 > 0:29:37Heart beat restored. Good.

0:29:37 > 0:29:40Let's insert a drain and close him up.

0:29:44 > 0:29:49Finally. That was a nightmare. Another string to your bow if this all goes pear shaped.

0:29:49 > 0:29:53I hear they're crying out for veterinary nurses. Yeah, you'd love that, wouldn't you?

0:29:56 > 0:29:57I'll get this blood checked.

0:30:00 > 0:30:03Right, let's give you some attention, shall we?

0:30:03 > 0:30:05I'm fine, don't worry about me.

0:30:05 > 0:30:09You were supposed to be looking after yourself after last time. You promised.

0:30:09 > 0:30:13Yeah, but the hostel don't take dogs. And I couldn't abandon him.

0:30:13 > 0:30:14Big softie.

0:30:19 > 0:30:21Not trying to kill me again, are you?

0:30:21 > 0:30:26Actually that was my boss, blaming me to cover his own backside.

0:30:26 > 0:30:28But he's gone and I'm still here.

0:30:28 > 0:30:30Is that how posh boy let you down, then?

0:30:32 > 0:30:36Well, when things get tough, you realise who your real friends are.

0:30:36 > 0:30:38But there are lots of bad people in this world.

0:30:38 > 0:30:41But they all get their comeuppance in the end. Let's hope so.

0:30:41 > 0:30:43And then there are bad people who come good.

0:30:43 > 0:30:45If you give them a chance.

0:30:48 > 0:30:51Where is this bleeding coming from? I can't find the source.

0:30:51 > 0:30:54Can you push the stomach further back? More blood. OK, suction.

0:30:54 > 0:30:56It shouldn't be from a damaged spleen. Not this much.

0:30:56 > 0:30:59We can't rule it out. I need you to bring down the splenic flexure.

0:30:59 > 0:31:02I've never done that before. I really think Mr Griffin...

0:31:02 > 0:31:05There's a first time for everything and you'll be under my supervision. Come on.

0:31:07 > 0:31:08Slowly.

0:31:10 > 0:31:13Slowly. Just a little bit further.

0:31:13 > 0:31:15BEEPING What? I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

0:31:15 > 0:31:18We need to pack him. Quickly! Quick, quick, quick.

0:31:18 > 0:31:20(Tell Mr Griffin there's a bleed to the splenic flexure.)

0:31:20 > 0:31:25Yes, yes, yes. And again. Yep.

0:31:25 > 0:31:27But he's OK? He's on his way up now.

0:31:27 > 0:31:29Mr Self will talk you through the options for the next stage

0:31:29 > 0:31:31once he's got the results.

0:31:31 > 0:31:34Next stage of what? James... And you are?

0:31:34 > 0:31:37His son. Not that it seems to count for anything. I'm sorry.

0:31:37 > 0:31:39I'd still be none the wiser if a neighbour hadn't called me.

0:31:39 > 0:31:43I've been in a complete state. I haven't called anybody yet.

0:31:43 > 0:31:45Well, didn't he ask for me?

0:31:45 > 0:31:47He was very confused.

0:31:47 > 0:31:48You never mentioned a son.

0:31:48 > 0:31:50Of course she didn't.

0:31:50 > 0:31:53Dad? It's James. Are you OK?

0:31:53 > 0:31:56You'll need to give him some space, please.

0:31:56 > 0:31:58I'll be taking charge of his care now.

0:31:58 > 0:32:00I am next of kin. They are not married.

0:32:00 > 0:32:02Is anybody interested in actually how he is?

0:32:02 > 0:32:05We've performed the biopsy. We're just waiting on the results.

0:32:05 > 0:32:06Biopsy of what?

0:32:06 > 0:32:08Your father has a brain tumour.

0:32:08 > 0:32:11Unfortunately there were some complications.

0:32:11 > 0:32:13He arrested but we managed to restore the heartbeat.

0:32:13 > 0:32:16Once we have the formal results of the biopsy, there will be some

0:32:16 > 0:32:18important decisions to make.

0:32:22 > 0:32:26My father could have died and I wouldn't have even known.

0:32:34 > 0:32:37I told you to call me, Serena. There was no need. Really?

0:32:37 > 0:32:40Dr Digby told me there was a bleed to the splenic flexure.

0:32:40 > 0:32:43It's fine now, all under control. It was my fault, Mr Griffin.

0:32:43 > 0:32:46No. It wasn't. I was concerned the spleen was ruptured.

0:32:46 > 0:32:49It made sense with the positioning of the seat belt trauma.

0:32:49 > 0:32:50I couldn't find the source.

0:32:50 > 0:32:54So you thought you'd risk allowing an inexperienced junior doctor

0:32:54 > 0:32:56to assist you, resulting in an additional bleed.

0:32:56 > 0:32:58I had it all under control.

0:32:58 > 0:33:00I beg to differ, Serena.

0:33:00 > 0:33:03Trauma surgery needs two pairs of experienced hands.

0:33:05 > 0:33:07What is this fluid?

0:33:09 > 0:33:11Did you consider checking for damage to the bladder?

0:33:19 > 0:33:24LOUD TICKING

0:33:30 > 0:33:31DOOR OPENS

0:33:32 > 0:33:36We've had the results of the biopsy.

0:33:36 > 0:33:40Tumours are graded 1-4 in terms of their seriousness.

0:33:40 > 0:33:42Ian's, I'm afraid, is Grade 4

0:33:42 > 0:33:47so his prognosis is not good, even with the best treatment.

0:33:47 > 0:33:48But you can remove it?

0:33:48 > 0:33:51Any surgery close to the motor strip has the potential to leave

0:33:51 > 0:33:53the patient paralysed.

0:33:53 > 0:33:54And if we do nothing?

0:33:54 > 0:33:57Untreated, there will definitely be neurological problems.

0:33:57 > 0:34:01Your father already has symptoms of left-sided weakness, which

0:34:01 > 0:34:04will get worse and eventually lead to paralysis.

0:34:04 > 0:34:05Ian wouldn't want that.

0:34:05 > 0:34:09If there's a chance he could recover from this then he'd take it.

0:34:09 > 0:34:11Yeah, I think I know my father better than you do.

0:34:11 > 0:34:14If removed, it may temporarily prevent any further

0:34:14 > 0:34:17neurological deficit. See.

0:34:17 > 0:34:22If surgery extends the life he'd want to lead, even for a short time.

0:34:22 > 0:34:25I'm sorry, James, but I think that's what he would choose.

0:34:25 > 0:34:28Fortunately, it is not up to you.

0:34:28 > 0:34:30I would recommend immediate surgery.

0:34:30 > 0:34:33James, please. Please, will you listen to him?

0:34:33 > 0:34:35Hang on. This is my dad, OK?

0:34:35 > 0:34:37I haven't even had a chance to speak to him properly.

0:34:37 > 0:34:39I haven't even seen him for weeks.

0:34:39 > 0:34:41We have to bear in mind that performing this procedure

0:34:41 > 0:34:46so soon after opening him up will greatly increase his risk of death.

0:34:46 > 0:34:47Well, then...

0:34:47 > 0:34:49the risk is too great.

0:34:51 > 0:34:53Dr March. A word, please?

0:34:57 > 0:35:00You have just lost me the confidence of my patient's family.

0:35:00 > 0:35:02You're angry cos I disagree with you. You're an F1.

0:35:02 > 0:35:05You don't have the right or experience to shout the odds.

0:35:05 > 0:35:08And you have the right to withhold information? It wasn't like that.

0:35:08 > 0:35:11No, and I suppose it wasn't "like that" with Mama either, was it?

0:35:13 > 0:35:15Yep, there it is.

0:35:15 > 0:35:18Intraperitoneal bleeding to the surface of the bladder.

0:35:18 > 0:35:20But there was no suprapubic swelling.

0:35:20 > 0:35:24It could have been hidden by the damage caused by the seat belt.

0:35:24 > 0:35:25I should've seen it.

0:35:25 > 0:35:28Let's just focus on repairing it now, yeah?

0:35:28 > 0:35:30I think I better leave that to you.

0:35:32 > 0:35:35Serena. Serena!

0:35:42 > 0:35:44Norman McGinn's blood results.

0:35:44 > 0:35:45Thanks.

0:35:45 > 0:35:47As I thought, raised levels of amylase and lipase.

0:35:47 > 0:35:50Norman's got pancreatitis.

0:35:50 > 0:35:51So what do we do now?

0:35:51 > 0:35:56Treat him, of course. I'm going to need to "borrow" some medication.

0:35:57 > 0:36:00Harry, you could get in serious trouble for this.

0:36:00 > 0:36:02Ah, so you do care?

0:36:02 > 0:36:06Maybe a little. I need your drugs key.

0:36:06 > 0:36:07SHE SIGHS

0:36:11 > 0:36:12You coming or what?

0:36:24 > 0:36:25I think you should leave.

0:36:25 > 0:36:28It's just family at a time like this.

0:36:28 > 0:36:30He is my family now.

0:36:30 > 0:36:31Yeah, you'd like to think so.

0:36:33 > 0:36:36Look, I understand it's hard to accept.

0:36:36 > 0:36:39Accept that my father would take up with another woman just

0:36:39 > 0:36:41weeks after my mother's death? Yeah!

0:36:41 > 0:36:44I never intended to replace your mother.

0:36:44 > 0:36:48You never will. My mum was beautiful and cultured and intelligent.

0:36:48 > 0:36:50You can't even begin to compete. MOANING

0:36:50 > 0:36:51BEEPING

0:36:51 > 0:36:54Dad? Dad!

0:36:54 > 0:36:56It's OK, Dad. I'm here now.

0:36:56 > 0:37:00Excuse me. Excuse me. His B/P's dropping.

0:37:00 > 0:37:03His brain is probably swelling around the tumour.

0:37:03 > 0:37:06His heart's already unstable. We can't wait any longer

0:37:06 > 0:37:08We have to at least de-bulk the tumour to reduce pressure.

0:37:08 > 0:37:11I want a second opinion. He could be dead by then.

0:37:11 > 0:37:14I need to know that you're doing the right thing. He needs help now.

0:37:14 > 0:37:15As next of kin, I have a right

0:37:15 > 0:37:19to determine what treatment my father receives. No. I do.

0:37:19 > 0:37:21This is an emergency. Your father is my patient.

0:37:21 > 0:37:23He is not competent to make his own mind up.

0:37:23 > 0:37:26I have the power to act in his best interests.

0:37:26 > 0:37:27Page Theatre.

0:37:28 > 0:37:31MOANING

0:37:35 > 0:37:36Come on, Harry. Hurry up.

0:37:36 > 0:37:39Can't give Norman any old thing.

0:37:39 > 0:37:42I know what I'm looking for. It must be in here somewhere.

0:37:42 > 0:37:43Right. Incoming at four o'clock!

0:37:49 > 0:37:51Nice catch. For a girl.

0:37:53 > 0:37:55Dr Tressler? We haven't found any evidence of vermin.

0:37:55 > 0:37:58Where exactly did you hear them?

0:37:58 > 0:38:00Did you try the on-call room?

0:38:00 > 0:38:02Thank you.

0:38:02 > 0:38:05Oh, and I haven't seen you selling any raffle tickets today.

0:38:05 > 0:38:07Oh, don't worry. All under control.

0:38:07 > 0:38:08Right.

0:38:16 > 0:38:17Zoshie?

0:38:17 > 0:38:19I told you never to call me that!

0:38:20 > 0:38:23What's up? Always the same with you, isn't it?

0:38:23 > 0:38:26"This is the way it's going to be. No arguments. Just do it."

0:38:26 > 0:38:29Erm, I thought we were trying to keep things professional?

0:38:29 > 0:38:33That poor man. Still grieving, his father seriously ill,

0:38:33 > 0:38:36and you're just like, "Get with the programme or get out!"

0:38:36 > 0:38:38Look, there is no room for sentiment in situations like that.

0:38:38 > 0:38:42It's not my style. Ah, well... at least you're consistent.

0:38:44 > 0:38:47Why didn't you tell me Mama's cancer had come back?

0:38:49 > 0:38:52You were about to sit your finals. Oh.

0:38:54 > 0:38:57And it wouldn't do for Guy Self's daughter to mess up.

0:38:57 > 0:38:59Better she comes top of the year...

0:38:59 > 0:39:01No, no. It wasn't like that.

0:39:02 > 0:39:04We were going to tell you...on her birthday.

0:39:06 > 0:39:08On her birthday?

0:39:10 > 0:39:14You knew... when I came back that weekend?!

0:39:14 > 0:39:19You were so stressed. Worried you hadn't revised enough.

0:39:19 > 0:39:21The timing seemed wrong, we were just thinking of you.

0:39:21 > 0:39:23You knew how bad it was...

0:39:23 > 0:39:27and you never gave me the chance to say goodbye?

0:39:27 > 0:39:29It wasn't meant to be that way.

0:39:29 > 0:39:31No, and I suppose you "never meant" to bury your head in a bottle

0:39:31 > 0:39:35for the next eight months either, did you?

0:39:35 > 0:39:38SHE SIGHS What am I supposed to do?

0:39:39 > 0:39:41Just forget any of it ever happened?

0:39:41 > 0:39:44They're asking for you in theatre. Yeah, five minutes.

0:39:46 > 0:39:48Look, I know I've let you down...

0:39:49 > 0:39:51..but I want to change things.

0:39:51 > 0:39:53Wanting is not enough.

0:39:54 > 0:39:56OK.

0:39:56 > 0:40:01It's New Year's Eve. Let's...drink some champagn-ya.

0:40:03 > 0:40:05Just you and me, toast absent friends.

0:40:08 > 0:40:10They're waiting for you.

0:40:31 > 0:40:32Serena.

0:40:34 > 0:40:38Stop, please. Ric, I am so sorry...

0:40:38 > 0:40:39Serena.

0:40:42 > 0:40:43Please.

0:40:51 > 0:40:53How's his heart, Elliot?

0:40:53 > 0:40:55Output good.

0:40:55 > 0:40:57OK, I think that's as much as I can get.

0:40:57 > 0:41:00I need to close the dura.

0:41:01 > 0:41:04Guy, that really is quite extraordinary.

0:41:04 > 0:41:08If he does recover, it's going to be a long road.

0:41:08 > 0:41:11Carpe diem. That's what this job has taught me.

0:41:11 > 0:41:13It could happen to any of us.

0:41:17 > 0:41:19I knew Edward didn't do monogamy.

0:41:19 > 0:41:21So why on earth did I allow myself

0:41:21 > 0:41:24to get sucked back in all over again?

0:41:24 > 0:41:26He can be very persuasive.

0:41:26 > 0:41:28And I'm a self-deluded fool.

0:41:28 > 0:41:32Come on. You're too hard on yourself.

0:41:32 > 0:41:34DISTANT SIREN WAILS

0:41:34 > 0:41:36No harm was done. But there could've been.

0:41:37 > 0:41:41I was so intent on being superwoman I nearly ruined

0:41:41 > 0:41:42that young man's future.

0:41:44 > 0:41:46You're emotionally drained.

0:41:48 > 0:41:50That's just a kind way of saying I'm mad as a box of frogs.

0:41:50 > 0:41:52No. Not at all.

0:41:52 > 0:41:54HE SIGHS

0:41:54 > 0:41:58You don't get over what you've been through in just a few days,

0:41:58 > 0:42:01with a sweet smile and a stiff upper lip.

0:42:04 > 0:42:05Take the rest of your leave.

0:42:07 > 0:42:09Recharge your batteries.

0:42:09 > 0:42:11And then get back on the horse.

0:42:12 > 0:42:13Yeah.

0:42:19 > 0:42:20SHE EXHALES

0:42:31 > 0:42:33No news.

0:42:34 > 0:42:36HE EXHALES

0:42:46 > 0:42:50You're not the only person who's lost someone very close... Yeah.

0:42:50 > 0:42:52Spare me the sob story, all right?

0:42:53 > 0:42:57I don't expect you to like me, James, but listen.

0:42:59 > 0:43:01Please, just for a minute.

0:43:03 > 0:43:06Your father still loves your mother very much.

0:43:07 > 0:43:08And he always will.

0:43:08 > 0:43:11Yeah, that is why there is no trace of her in our -

0:43:11 > 0:43:12or should I say "your" - house.

0:43:12 > 0:43:14She's not coming back, James.

0:43:14 > 0:43:16Or maybe you just decided it wasn't quite to your taste.

0:43:18 > 0:43:21It was your father wanted her things gone, not me.

0:43:23 > 0:43:25He found all those reminders too painful!

0:43:28 > 0:43:30SHE SIGHS It wasn't meant to hurt you.

0:43:31 > 0:43:36And I know, I mean, I know our being together seemed...

0:43:36 > 0:43:40well, hasty, but we'd both lost partners.

0:43:40 > 0:43:43Nothing to do with the nice house and Dad's pension(!)

0:43:43 > 0:43:46We felt we had to grab the chance... You know what I think?

0:43:46 > 0:43:48You saw my dad and you thought,

0:43:48 > 0:43:50"There's my security, my future, I'll have him."

0:43:51 > 0:43:54And I think it's easier for you to be angry at me

0:43:54 > 0:43:56than to accept your mother's death.

0:44:00 > 0:44:02He don't seem any better, Doc.

0:44:02 > 0:44:05You sure that's the right stuff?

0:44:05 > 0:44:06Takes a while to kick in.

0:44:06 > 0:44:08He's going to be all right though, isn't he?

0:44:11 > 0:44:13Have you got any New Year's resolutions, Pat?

0:44:13 > 0:44:16Just the one, take better care of this little man.

0:44:16 > 0:44:19That'll mean cutting down on the drink.

0:44:19 > 0:44:23If Norman makes it, as God's my witness, I'll take the pledge.

0:44:23 > 0:44:26How about you, Mary-Claire?

0:44:26 > 0:44:29My resolution is to stop being taken advantage of

0:44:29 > 0:44:30by men who don't deserve me.

0:44:31 > 0:44:33Shame the nice ones are always so dull.

0:44:34 > 0:44:36What about you, Doc?

0:44:37 > 0:44:40To be more supportive and understanding

0:44:40 > 0:44:42of my extremely long-suffering colleagues.

0:44:44 > 0:44:48And to party my way through as much of 2014 as possible.

0:44:48 > 0:44:49Life's way too short.

0:44:52 > 0:44:55Although I managed to excise more of the tumour than I had anticipated,

0:44:55 > 0:44:59it's still highly likely to return, and he'll need radiotherapy.

0:44:59 > 0:45:02The prognosis for this type of tumour is not good though,

0:45:02 > 0:45:04and it's impossible to say what level of care

0:45:04 > 0:45:07he's going to need long-term. Oh, he'll get the very best care.

0:45:07 > 0:45:08I'll make sure of that.

0:45:08 > 0:45:10He's alive. That's all that matters.

0:45:11 > 0:45:13You can go and see him if you like.

0:45:16 > 0:45:1830 minutes neuro obs, please.

0:45:19 > 0:45:22Can I get someone to get you a cup of tea?

0:45:22 > 0:45:25No...thanks.

0:45:25 > 0:45:30You know, James, it's sometimes easier to hold on to the past.

0:45:31 > 0:45:32Nothing's easy.

0:45:32 > 0:45:34Maybe you just need to look forward.

0:45:35 > 0:45:38And New Year's Eve is as good a time as any.

0:45:57 > 0:45:58Dr Digby?

0:45:58 > 0:46:02I, eh... I owe you an apology.

0:46:05 > 0:46:07"Mistakes are always forgivable

0:46:07 > 0:46:09"if one has the courage to admit them."

0:46:09 > 0:46:11Napoleon?

0:46:12 > 0:46:13No, actually that's um...

0:46:13 > 0:46:14Bruce Lee.

0:46:17 > 0:46:20Happy New Year, Dr Digby.

0:46:21 > 0:46:25And to you. Mr Metcalfe will be coming round soon.

0:46:36 > 0:46:37SHE EXHALES

0:46:47 > 0:46:48Thanks.

0:46:53 > 0:46:57I'm sorry. I know I should have called you.

0:46:58 > 0:47:00Yeah. You should.

0:47:04 > 0:47:09I was hoping maybe we could...start again.

0:47:25 > 0:47:27Guy.

0:47:32 > 0:47:35It's an RTC, suspected TBI, GCS of 3.

0:47:35 > 0:47:37OK. Sounds like a potential brain herniation.

0:47:37 > 0:47:39I'll meet the ambulance at the entrance.

0:47:41 > 0:47:43About that drink...

0:47:43 > 0:47:47Oh, Zosia, sorry, darling, an emergency's just come in.

0:47:47 > 0:47:49Right. OK.

0:47:49 > 0:47:52I mean if there was anyone else... No, of course. I understand.

0:47:52 > 0:47:54Patients have to take priority.

0:47:54 > 0:47:57Maybe we can have a drink tomorrow night? I'm busy tomorrow night.

0:47:57 > 0:47:59I just wanted to say thank you so much.

0:47:59 > 0:48:01Oh, it's nothing really.

0:48:01 > 0:48:03I looked you up on my phone.

0:48:03 > 0:48:05Well, we feel so privileged,

0:48:05 > 0:48:08we didn't realise you were such a brilliant man.

0:48:08 > 0:48:11Mmm..."brilliant". Brilliant doctor.

0:48:12 > 0:48:16Shame about the father part. Sorry?

0:48:16 > 0:48:20Mr Self, CEO, brain surgeon extraordinaire.

0:48:20 > 0:48:23Just try being his daughter! Dr March...

0:48:23 > 0:48:25I sometimes think it'd be a lot easier to be your patient,

0:48:25 > 0:48:27maybe then I'd get some actual attention.

0:48:27 > 0:48:32OK, that's enough. I haven't even started! Elliot's office - now!

0:48:32 > 0:48:34I'm really sorry about this, family...

0:48:34 > 0:48:36Sorry.

0:48:39 > 0:48:41You've got to put a stop to that - now.

0:48:41 > 0:48:43I just feel really bad, I promised... She can't behave like some

0:48:43 > 0:48:46spoilt little brat who's just lost her Barbie doll.

0:48:46 > 0:48:48She's a 26-year-old woman for heaven's sake.

0:48:48 > 0:48:51Mr Self, the RTC you were attending has been diverted

0:48:51 > 0:48:53to St James's, so you can stand down now.

0:48:54 > 0:48:57And Dr March... Yes, yes, I know.

0:49:00 > 0:49:03Don't even think about taking her for a drink now.

0:49:03 > 0:49:06You know, all I want to do is make things better.

0:49:06 > 0:49:10Yeah, and she is really pushing it. She's totally out of order.

0:49:10 > 0:49:13In here, you're her boss. Not her dad.

0:49:13 > 0:49:14Start acting like it.

0:49:20 > 0:49:21MONITOR BLEEPS

0:49:25 > 0:49:27HE GRUNTS

0:49:27 > 0:49:29Oh, don't try and sit up.

0:49:29 > 0:49:31You're going to be quite uncomfortable for some time,

0:49:31 > 0:49:32I'm afraid.

0:49:34 > 0:49:36Come on, get it over with.

0:49:36 > 0:49:39It was your bladder, not your spleen.

0:49:39 > 0:49:41You should make a full recovery.

0:49:45 > 0:49:48Thank you. HE LAUGHS WEAKLY

0:49:48 > 0:49:52It was Mr Griffin. I-I really didn't do anything.

0:49:53 > 0:49:58Whatever. I can focus on the future now, right?

0:49:58 > 0:49:59I couldn't agree more.

0:50:12 > 0:50:14If you want some privacy...

0:50:14 > 0:50:15Oh, no, no. Please stay.

0:50:21 > 0:50:22Dr March?

0:50:26 > 0:50:28Dr March!

0:50:31 > 0:50:34What on earth were you playing at back there?

0:50:34 > 0:50:35I wasn't playing at anything.

0:50:35 > 0:50:38How dare you bawl me out in front of the entire ward?

0:50:38 > 0:50:41Oh, it came pretty naturally. Can I go now?

0:50:41 > 0:50:43No, you cannot.

0:50:43 > 0:50:46You obviously don't even begin to understand how serious this is.

0:50:46 > 0:50:48If you have a problem with me, you talk to me.

0:50:49 > 0:50:51You have to learn to control your anger.

0:50:51 > 0:50:53Ugh, not always your strong point.

0:50:53 > 0:50:56Since you're clearly not ready or willing to accept responsibility

0:50:56 > 0:51:00for your appalling behaviour, you're suspended for the rest of the week.

0:51:00 > 0:51:04But I start Keller tomorrow. I have my first psych lectures. Tough.

0:51:05 > 0:51:08Professor? Please, talk to him.

0:51:08 > 0:51:10I have been waiting to do this for months.

0:51:10 > 0:51:12Yes, but I'm beginning to question your motives.

0:51:12 > 0:51:15Are you genuinely interested in psychiatry,

0:51:15 > 0:51:17or is it just a perverse way of getting at your father?

0:51:20 > 0:51:21I thought you were on my side.

0:51:26 > 0:51:27DOOR SLAMS

0:51:27 > 0:51:29I'm afraid to go in there, he looked so poorly.

0:51:29 > 0:51:31What if he's dead?

0:51:31 > 0:51:33Well, then he'll go to doggy heaven.

0:51:33 > 0:51:35Not if Pat's a Catholic. There's no such thing.

0:51:39 > 0:51:43Aw, Norman! Told you he was a little fighter.

0:51:43 > 0:51:48Aw, Pat, you must be so relieved. But remember, you are now teetotal.

0:51:48 > 0:51:49Oh, yeah, forgot about that...

0:51:49 > 0:51:51Well, you won't be tempted tonight anyway.

0:51:51 > 0:51:53Your head took quite a knock.

0:51:53 > 0:51:55We have to keep you in for observation, just in case.

0:51:55 > 0:51:57BEEPER CHIMES Not if that means Norman's

0:51:57 > 0:51:59going in the pound, no way. Excuse me.

0:52:02 > 0:52:03(That's a good boy.)

0:52:03 > 0:52:05Norman can't stay here all night. Not without us.

0:52:05 > 0:52:08Then he can stay with me. Hang on.

0:52:08 > 0:52:10I thought you would have had some flash party planned,

0:52:10 > 0:52:12loads of girls waiting to kiss you at midnight?

0:52:12 > 0:52:14I'd rather be with Norman.

0:52:14 > 0:52:17After we've seen in the New Year at Albie's, if you're up for it?

0:52:17 > 0:52:18If you're buying...

0:52:18 > 0:52:21I've thought about what you said and I would like to make a

0:52:21 > 0:52:24full and unreserved apology for my behaviour.

0:52:24 > 0:52:26Do you mind? I feel as if I'm talking to your feet.

0:52:26 > 0:52:28Oh. Thank you.

0:52:30 > 0:52:34I also accept that I need more time to recharge my batteries,

0:52:34 > 0:52:36so I'll be taking all of my original leave.

0:52:37 > 0:52:39Good. And on your return...

0:52:39 > 0:52:43if you can finally let go of the resentment that you didn't get CEO...

0:52:43 > 0:52:44maybe we can work together.

0:52:45 > 0:52:47Only if you're prepared to give me a voice.

0:52:54 > 0:52:55Here's to an eventful 2014.

0:52:58 > 0:53:01And now for the grand prize of the evening, as you know,

0:53:01 > 0:53:06?100 in cash to give you a sparkling start to your New Year.

0:53:06 > 0:53:08And, thank you, my assistant will help me here.

0:53:08 > 0:53:15I'm just going to find the winning ticket. And the winner is...

0:53:15 > 0:53:19blue...45. And it says on the back here - Pat McGinn!

0:53:19 > 0:53:22So fantastic, round of applause everybody.

0:53:24 > 0:53:26Thank you all for coming. Thanks for supporting the cause.

0:53:26 > 0:53:28See you soon, thanks a lot.

0:53:28 > 0:53:30I don't remember Pat buying a ticket?

0:53:32 > 0:53:33Oh, I do.

0:53:39 > 0:53:41MUSIC: "New Year's Day" by U2

0:53:43 > 0:53:46I hear that you really lost the plot on Darwin.

0:53:47 > 0:53:51Um, defying the boss is never a good idea.

0:53:51 > 0:53:54Even if he is your dad. I hate him.

0:53:54 > 0:53:57Well, look on the bright side. At least you'll have a few days

0:53:57 > 0:54:00to sleep off what will no doubt be a most spectacular hangover.

0:54:00 > 0:54:02He's a sadist.

0:54:02 > 0:54:04Well, you know, maybe it's a blessing in disguise.

0:54:04 > 0:54:09Em, I think you'd be rubbish as a psych in my opinion.

0:54:09 > 0:54:12Look at the mess your own life's in. Plus you've no patience...

0:54:12 > 0:54:14you've got no empathy for other people.

0:54:16 > 0:54:17Cheers, you're a real mate.

0:54:17 > 0:54:20I think you'd be much better off wielding the knife.

0:54:20 > 0:54:28As a self-involved, technically brilliant, arrogant control freak.

0:54:28 > 0:54:29You know, you've got all the

0:54:29 > 0:54:32prerequisite characteristics to be a top surgeon.

0:54:32 > 0:54:35You just described my dad.

0:54:35 > 0:54:38Em, uh, did you pay for those, or...?

0:54:38 > 0:54:41I told him to take his feet off the desk...

0:54:41 > 0:54:43and he obeyed.

0:54:43 > 0:54:45It'd take a brave man not to.

0:54:45 > 0:54:50If he's smart, and he is, he'd rather have you as an ally.

0:54:50 > 0:54:51Nobody wants you as an adversary.

0:54:52 > 0:54:54Quite.

0:54:54 > 0:54:55And she's back.

0:55:02 > 0:55:04Ah, now I get it.

0:55:04 > 0:55:05I thought you were putting yourself out,

0:55:05 > 0:55:07you just wanted Norman as a babe magnet.

0:55:07 > 0:55:09Not at all. But it's a bonus.

0:55:09 > 0:55:11Didn't have you down as a dog lover, Dr Tressler.

0:55:13 > 0:55:15Oh, thanks for the tip. Oh?

0:55:15 > 0:55:17The on-call room - totally infested.

0:55:18 > 0:55:21Really? Good, well, um... Happy to help, aren't we?

0:55:23 > 0:55:25Champagne? Yes, please.

0:55:26 > 0:55:29So...friends? Until next time.

0:55:31 > 0:55:36Ten, nine, eight, seven...

0:55:36 > 0:55:44..six, five, four, three, two, one...

0:55:44 > 0:55:46CHEERING AND WHOOPING

0:55:51 > 0:55:53All I'm saying is, keep an open mind.

0:55:53 > 0:55:55You don't want to specialise too early,

0:55:55 > 0:55:57you should at least think about it.

0:55:57 > 0:55:59Tonight I need to not think.

0:56:02 > 0:56:04And you're going to help me...

0:56:04 > 0:56:08OK, what's this about? Mmm...

0:56:11 > 0:56:16I need the warmth of another human being, and you're the closest.

0:56:16 > 0:56:19Right. That OK? Yeah.

0:56:19 > 0:56:21HE LAUGHS NERVOUSLY

0:56:21 > 0:56:22FIREWORKS CRACKLE

0:56:23 > 0:56:28A New Year always brings hope. Another chance to get it right...

0:56:28 > 0:56:31Or mess it up again, depending on your point of view.

0:56:31 > 0:56:34I prefer the glass half-full. Yes, I'd noticed.

0:56:35 > 0:56:37Good night. Good night.

0:56:43 > 0:56:44LAUGHTER

0:56:50 > 0:56:52HE SIGHS

0:56:52 > 0:56:56Happy New Year, my fearless little Zoshie.
