Transcript

00:00You can, seriously. No, no, no, I'm not going to say anything. This is going to be amazing.

00:05Coffee ready?

00:07Um, yes, I've got to go, but yeah, okay. Bye.

00:11Good morning, you don't say.

00:13Good morning. You all good?

00:15Yeah, absolutely.

00:23Much like before, we would remove a small piece of your skull in order to access your brain,

00:28and then we would carefully remove the tumour.

00:31I'm not going to sugarcoat it. It is extremely high risk.

00:34Well, I wouldn't put you through this if I wasn't confident that I could successfully remove the tumour.

00:39Well, it's game over for me if I just do nothing.

00:42So what the hell, eh? Just go for it.

00:46I won't let you go.

00:50Sorry to interrupt.

00:52Uh, we were just finishing up.

00:58I don't like this. You're making promises to Steph you can't keep.

01:02She knows the odds.

01:03But the way you were talking in there.

01:04I can do this, Chris.

01:06What's this really about?

01:07It's about Steph.

01:09And either she dies on the table or within two years, but you heard her.

01:12She's willing to take the chance.

01:13You shouldn't be operating.

01:16I am HOD.

01:17Then I'm assisting. No arguments.

01:20Fine.

01:20I will send you my notes.

01:22What are you saying?

01:28Both pupils are equal and reactive to light.

01:31No sign of anisocoria or abnormal response.

01:34So am I having a stroke?

01:35We'll need to run some more tests, but at this stage I don't think so.

01:38Good news, right?

01:39You said you've had some dizziness, chest pain, headaches.

01:42Yeah, but I'm fine, really.

01:43Probably just dehydrated.

01:45We'll do our best to get you out of here as soon as we can.

01:47Thanks, girls.

01:48I want a full blood count, electrolytes, renal function, japonin and coax.

01:53Nausea, vomiting and pain?

01:54Hey, this might hurt a bit.

01:55I'm afraid.

01:58Pretty sure it's cholecystitis, but we'll need an ultrasound of concern.

02:01Should I send her up to surgical?

02:03Phil.

02:04Sorry.

02:12Hey, hey, hey, hey.

02:13Hey, you okay?

02:14Yeah, yeah, I'm fine.

02:17Hey, mate, what's up?

02:18Um, well, I suppose it's better that you hear it from me.

02:24Um, Nick, Nick wants a divorce.

02:28Oh.

02:29Oh, hey.

02:31I mean, it's not a huge surprise.

02:33I'm sorry to hear that, wife.

02:34If there's anything you need, let me know.

02:36Okay, thanks.

02:37Have you been in a...

02:38Not really.

02:39This is Maniaka, our operations manager.

02:42Hi.

02:43Do you need to get that?

02:44Uh, no, that is just Julian making my life a hive of hassle because his plan's locked.

02:48Hey, our surgical robots have been put on pause because we're back on the public health funding.

02:51Let's get him on IV flu flux as soon as possible.

02:54Do you reckon you could please look at the budgets?

02:55It's very hard prioritising when I'm in the dark.

02:57It can wait.

02:58Hey, sorry, mate.

02:59No worries.

03:00I'm Callum.

03:01Hey, mate.

03:02Marty.

03:03Look, we'll be right in.

03:04Mark out the cellulitic area so we can see when it starts to reduce.

03:06I paged you.

03:09Look, Callum's GP's been treating a cellulitic wound on his left lower leg with oral flu clucks,

03:14but he's got ongoing fevers and his wound isn't reducing.

03:17Sorry, I've been with Steph.

03:18You know we're losing the RSA for surgical.

03:20What?

03:21Why?

03:21We'll touch base later.

03:22Right now, Callum needs me.

03:23What happened?

03:26Julian's got me wasting my time on his grand expansion.

03:28You've got to be kidding.

03:30Marty, I'm not a magician.

03:32There's no money.

03:33Yeah, no, I'm not frustrated with you, Mon.

03:34It's just the whole system.

03:36Yeah.

03:37Hey, you want to help me come up with a solution?

03:40Uh, later, okay?

03:41Sorry, Mon.

03:42Okay, cool.

03:43I'll just sort your whole department out.

03:46Hey, Michelle's CT is clear.

03:48No stroke.

03:48And yes, before you ask, I did the bloods too.

03:50Just waiting for them to come back.

03:51Interesting.

03:52Is it?

03:53Good news.

03:54We've rolled out a stroke.

03:56And this is just to alleviate the symptoms.

03:58That's a relief.

03:59And I think I know what's going on, Michelle.

04:01It looks like you are perimenopausal.

04:03What?

04:03But it can't be right.

04:05I'm way too young.

04:07I told my GP my symptoms, and he said to manage my stress.

04:10A lot of GPs just don't recognize the symptoms.

04:12Unless they've done the extra training, they can be really unhelpful with this stuff.

04:16I thought it was very helpful.

04:18We'll run a few more tests, but the best way forward would be to start HRT.

04:21We're on replacement therapy.

04:23Right.

04:25And Jen will be a lot more helpful with that than your GP.

04:27She's got first-hand experience.

04:29But you're even younger than I am.

04:31Oh, no, Jen's trans.

04:33She's very familiar with HRT.

04:36Oh, I see.

04:37I mean, I just thought it would be nice.

04:39I just want to roll out some other things, like thyroid issues, pituitary dysfunction.

04:45Okay.

04:45Okay, so FSH, LH, TSH, and free T4 for thyroid function, and then prolactin for pituitary issues.

04:57Have you forgotten everything that happened last week?

04:59Sorry?

05:00Not everyone is cool with trans people like you are.

05:03I'm sorry.

05:04I wasn't thinking.

05:06I just wanted to reassure her that you were the best person to help her.

05:08Well, maybe think before you speak next time.

05:10You don't know the types of people that end up in here.

05:15Jen, why is Manny you looking like she's about to be sent to the orphanage?

05:19Not now.

05:21Listen, whatever it is, take a break, but get back here.

05:23I need you.

05:25I didn't think she'd be a bigot.

05:27Yeah, well, give her some space.

05:28Come and help me with the knee dislocation in room 3.

05:30She has to know, I'm sorry.

05:31She will.

05:32Come on.

05:34Oh, I was ready when you were...

05:38Here, let me...

05:41You know, I would be scared, too.

05:46That you have nothing to lose, and everything to get back.

05:51Oh, good.

05:52I caught you.

05:53Was I going to let them take me in without saying goodbye?

05:56I think no, I'll see you soon.

05:58You're going to wake up after surgery, and we'll all be right here.

06:00You can take me for a beer to celebrate.

06:02Exactly.

06:04Esther knows what she's doing.

06:07You know, this is ridiculous.

06:09What is?

06:11You two.

06:12Sort it out already.

06:14Something wrong with your brains?

06:15Steph.

06:16You can point out more of my flaws when you get out of surgery.

06:20I will.

06:21I'll see you after, yeah?

06:23You bet.

06:24All right.

06:24Hey, you okay?

06:36Hey.

06:39Sorry about the divorce.

06:40Oh.

06:47Why didn't you call me?

06:48Maybe you guys do it.

06:49Because I didn't have anything to say.

06:57She didn't even tell me to my face.

06:58I had to hear it through the lawyer.

07:00You can't accept it.

07:02I don't really have a choice, Drew.

07:04Okay?

07:04Because she's not even taking my calls.

07:06That's too bad.

07:07You have a say.

07:08It's not just up to her.

07:09I can't force her to stay with me, Drew.

07:12She loves you more than anything.

07:14Don't.

07:16Please don't say that to me right now.

07:20All right.

07:20I'll drop it.

07:22You can wish me a happy anniversary.

07:26First one without her.

07:27Oh.

07:29You okay?

07:31Maeve, you do not have the emotional bandwidth for this right now.

07:35Yeah.

07:35I'm sorry.

07:36I just don't get it.

07:38You're giving up like this.

07:40She's the love of your life.

07:43Yeah, I know.

07:46So do something about it.

07:50Can you tell me you appreciate me?

07:53I appreciate you, but can you move?

07:56What is it with you?

07:57What's I'm saying?

07:58Divide race.

08:01I'm going to stop smiling like that, then.

08:04Look, Phil.

08:04I don't have any patience today.

08:06My back is still sore from moving all weekend,

08:08and Julian keeps calling me like it's the IRD or something.

08:11Just spit it out.

08:15I slept with Maeve.

08:18Wow.

08:22Maeve is married.

08:23Yeah, don't.

08:24It's so complicated.

08:25Maeve won't even look me in the eye today.

08:27I'm now branded with this super tattoo

08:29so we can all remember the time we made a nice lesbian couple get divorced.

08:32Hey, that is not your fault.

08:33And nice, she went to prison for murder.

08:36Yeah, not like anyone's going to believe that was my track record.

08:39Seriously, Phil, you're hot for chaos.

08:41Everyone knows that.

08:41This might be the most predictable thing you've done.

08:44Don't worry.

08:45The thing is, I kind of like her.

08:47Like, really?

08:48Mm, I can see that.

08:50I wish I was like you.

08:51I like normal, available people.

08:53Well, people who aren't married at least.

08:56Mm.

08:56I've had five engagements.

08:59But word on the street is getting divorced.

09:01Yeah.

09:02It's good.

09:03And who cares what people think, you know?

09:05You can't help who you want.

09:07Mm.

09:10Ready when you are?

09:12Is there?

09:12Hey.

09:15Not going soft on me, are you?

09:17Trying not to.

09:19But I do want to say thanks.

09:23It's been a shit deal, and if anything happens, I want you to know.

09:27I know.

09:28Okay?

09:29And I will do it all again in a heartbeat.

09:33I'm really glad it's you here.

09:36No offence.

09:38I know you tried.

09:39One taken.

09:43Okay.

09:44You ready?

09:46Yeah.

09:47Let's do this.

09:48Okay.

09:49The propofol's going in now, Steph.

09:53And she's out.

09:55Okay, let's get all prepped.

09:57Cranny one of my saw is ready.

09:59Could you do a blood gas to the guy in Kid 4?

10:09Yeah, of course.

10:10Ready?

10:11Yeah.

10:14Good news.

10:15We've ruled out all the serious stuff, so we should be good to go ahead with HRT.

10:19Have you heard much?

10:20Sorry.

10:21Is there someone else I can speak to?

10:23Afraid I'm the only one available.

10:25What about her?

10:26Me?

10:27Oh, no.

10:28Gia's way more experienced, Michelle.

10:30She knows a lot more about this stuff than I do.

10:32Look, HRT has come a long way in the last few years, and it can be very effective at reducing the sorts of symptoms.

10:38I don't mean to offend you, but I want someone with a woman's body to speak to me.

10:42Someone who actually understands.

10:44You get that, right?

10:45No, I don't.

10:47You seem perfectly fine taking advice from your male GP, even though he's clearly clueless and has misdiagnosed you with stress.

10:55Excuse me?

10:56Gia is the best doctor in this entire department to talk hormone replacement therapy.

11:01If that's not enough for you, I suggest you go back to your GP and discuss it further.

11:05This isn't fair.

11:06Life isn't fair.

11:07This is unbelievable.

11:08We don't have time for this.

11:10I'm just trying to help you here.

11:12I understand that this news might be hard to hear, but if you're going to be a first wave feminist about it, I can't help you.

11:18It's on you.

11:19I can't believe I have to deal with this crap again.

11:24Hey, you did the right thing.

11:27I'll wait for it to bite me in the ass.

11:31It's Julian probably with his latest complaint.

11:33Callum North, has fever subsided?

11:35Yeah, antibiotics seem to be doing the trick.

11:38Huh, strange.

11:39Why is that?

11:40Oh, it's probably nothing.

11:42Well, it's just odd that the flu clocks is working now, but it had no effect in the community.

11:47Well, at least he's improving.

11:47Jim, maybe you just needed the extra dose from the RV.

11:50Hmm.

11:51What's wrong?

11:52My dream venue just had a spot open for us.

11:56Well, that's great.

11:57In like three weeks or three years?

12:00Three weeks.

12:02Yeah.

12:04Oh, you know, that's okay.

12:06It's too short a time for your parents to get everything organized.

12:09I get it.

12:10Besides, I've got so much to think about between Julian and Phil and your department being financially off kilter.

12:16Is Phil okay?

12:18Um, you don't have time to keep my secrets.

12:20You're alone, Phil.

12:20So don't worry about it.

12:22Go on.

12:22Tell us.

12:24Maeve and Phil.

12:26Wow.

12:27Seriously.

12:28Well, you don't actually so judge you about it.

12:30Well, it's just, Maeve should know better.

12:33Everything's a black and white to you, isn't it?

12:35No, check on Callum.

12:36Okay, can one of you guys get the proposed budgets to me?

12:40Please, considering the hospital's like now broke.

12:42And don't breathe a word about Phil and Maeve, yeah?

12:45Of course.

12:45Did you get Michelle's bloods back?

12:52No thyroid or pituitary dysfunction.

12:54She's definitely perimenopausal.

12:56All right, give those results to Poppy.

12:57She's going to take over.

12:58No, she's not.

12:59Yeah, you don't need to deal with that rubbish at work.

13:01I dealt with it last week.

13:02I can deal with it again.

13:04Oh, yeah?

13:04What are you going to do?

13:05Leak another photo, eh?

13:06Maybe we should ask her what her favourite filter is.

13:08Oh, shut up.

13:09I'll be fine.

13:10I just, I don't want the ED to be turned into some kind of LGBTQI war zone, all right?

13:15Let's just, we had enough of that last week.

13:17We'll just keep the peace, eh?

13:18It's not a ED campus.

13:19I am not disrupting the peace.

13:21That, that is on her.

13:22Yeah, but the more you're around, Michelle, you're just going to want to antagonise her.

13:25So I should stop having to work, because she can't face her own intolerance and hatred.

13:30Thank you for your concern, but you can piss off.

13:32Hey, pull your head in.

13:33I'm trying to do you a favour.

13:35How is this doing me a favour?

13:37Why is this so important to you?

13:39It's a triage five.

13:41She's complaining of fatigue and brain fog, for crying out loud.

13:43Because if you take me off this case, then she wins, and you're letting her get away with it.

13:48Just get her together, Gia.

13:49Be professional, or I'm sending you home.

13:51That is what I'm trying to do, but you won't let me.

13:55I can't get calm.

13:56I'm sorry.

14:03Good news, Callum.

14:04The antibiotics seem to be working.

14:06But I can stay for a bit?

14:09I promise I'll show you some of the robots before we get out of here.

14:12Okay.

14:13All right.

14:14Back in a minute, mate.

14:19Let's at least keep them overnight, and let's try our going back on the old EVs.

14:23Will do.

14:23Um, I'll be back down in five.

14:27I just need to make a phone call.

14:29With Monique.

14:30She wasn't happy.

14:31She will be.

14:32How's that?

14:34I'm going to check if that venue's still available.

14:36What, the one that's come free in like two weeks?

14:37Three weeks.

14:39Because that makes all the difference.

14:40You think it's insane, don't you?

14:42I mean...

14:43No, she wants to do it.

14:44She does.

14:45Well, then you should.

14:48As long as you're okay doing it without your family.

14:50I can still hear the disapproval in your voice, Marty.

14:52No, you can't.

14:53I'm fully behind this.

14:54It's romantic.

14:55She'll love it.

14:56That's if it hasn't been nabbed up.

14:59Well, go.

15:00Be romantic.

15:02You don't want to end up like me.

15:04Good luck.

15:05Pressure's holding well.

15:09A hundred and ten systolic.

15:11Careful.

15:12There's a hematoma there.

15:14Any suction on it?

15:16Esther?

15:18Esther, this isn't going to work.

15:20No, I've got this.

15:22I really don't think that's wise.

15:23I've got this.

15:24You're not okay.

15:25I would stop if I wasn't.

15:27I need to step in.

15:29No, we don't want to lose any more time.

15:31We just need to focus.

15:35Okay, listen up, everyone.

15:36We are in Broca's area.

15:39Now we can still help Steph.

15:41I just need complete focus.

15:46Okay, I'm going to pivot.

15:48I will repair the bleed with a patch

15:50and then move on to the final part of the tumour.

15:53I need the ultrasonic aspirator, please.

16:00How are you feeling, Callum?

16:02Not for Dr. Mazzar.

16:04Yes.

16:05Look, I'm afraid we're going to have to pop you back

16:07on the IV antibiotics

16:08and you might have to stay a bit longer.

16:12Are you thinking about something else?

16:16Sorry?

16:17It's how my dad looks

16:18when I talk about articulated robots

16:21and he's trying to watch the rugby.

16:24You're right.

16:25Look, just give me a moment

16:27and when I get back,

16:28I'll explain how white blood cells

16:29are kind of like an army of soldiers.

16:30I already know that,

16:31but thanks.

16:36Link.

16:37Hey.

16:38Hey.

16:39Sorry.

16:40Julian's got me auditing the suppliers.

16:42If I wanted the data,

16:43throw me a bone.

16:43It really hasn't.

16:44Maybe that's about to change.

16:46I'll leave that when I see it.

16:48The venue.

16:49Yeah, sorry about that kooky little question.

16:52Can we just forget that ever happened?

16:53I'm afraid I can't.

16:55Seriously?

16:56I say wacko stuff all the time.

16:57Let's just move on.

16:58No.

16:59I'd rather marry you in three weeks.

17:02I've booked it.

17:03We're all locked in.

17:05Oh, my God.

17:06So, what do you say?

17:08You still want to do this?

17:09Oh, my God.

17:11Obviously.

17:12Oh, my God.

17:13It turned out you're just as nice as me.

17:14I'm not leaving.

17:16Oh, Lee.

17:17Wait, wait, wait.

17:17What about your family?

17:19They can't just drop everything

17:20and fly halfway across the world.

17:21We'll celebrate with them later.

17:23We're going to do this whole thing again.

17:25I mean, that was the plan.

17:25Once upon a time, right?

17:27How does that sound?

17:27Yeah.

17:28That sounds perfectly perfect.

17:30I just want you to be happy.

17:31I mean, you only get married once.

17:33Well, in this case, like, twice.

17:34Hello?

17:34You only get married twice.

17:36Oh, my God.

17:37Oh, my God.

17:37Who is the spontaneous nuzzer?

17:39It's like I'm marrying a complete rogue.

17:41I'm sorry.

17:42I'll get those revised budgets.

17:43You're as soon as possible.

17:44I'm sorry for the worry.

17:45Daddy.

17:48Okay.

17:49Okay.

17:55The tumour is infiltrating the language centre.

17:57Here's what you're anticipating.

17:58What do you need?

18:00Uh, crap.

18:02You're stuck.

18:03No, I've got this.

18:05Are you sure?

18:06I can fix this.

18:08Careful.

18:09Remove your final fragments now.

18:12Slow down.

18:15Got it.

18:16Got it.

18:18Home stretch now.

18:20Well done.

18:20Okay.

18:21We can close up now.

18:30Oh, my...

18:31Jesus Christ.

18:32I'm sorry, dear.

18:34Don't do that.

18:35Do what?

18:37I don't know.

18:38Sit in the corner like a freaky little vampire.

18:40Are you okay?

18:45Okay.

18:47Oh.

18:49Not really.

18:52You?

18:53God, no.

18:54No.

18:55I'm doing this shift in a total out-of-body state.

18:59Just...

19:00All birds over you.

19:02Do I look good from that angle?

19:04Yeah.

19:05I'm just so sick of these people.

19:09The Ted Drapers, the TERFs, and...

19:12Alongside that, I have to deal with Emmett thinking he has to manage me.

19:16And then Poppy.

19:17Oh, God.

19:20She means well.

19:22And didn't learn anything from the Ted Draper experience.

19:27When is this going to end?

19:30It sucks.

19:31I know.

19:32I just want there to be a day when patients see me as every other doctor.

19:38When I can put all of my energy into helping sick people instead of finding off these monsters who are actively trying to erase me.

19:46You don't...

19:47You don't have to represent anything you don't want to.

19:50You don't owe that to anyone.

19:52Especially not people like Michelle.

19:54Natural selection is coming for her and her book club.

20:00But, you know, I'm not.

20:02I'm not walking into rooms lesbian first.

20:04So, you can take that with a grain of salt.

20:06Are you sure you do have a gay face?

20:09What is gay face?

20:10I...

20:12Poppy, come.

20:15I'm so sorry.

20:17I just...

20:19I'm sorry.

20:24You're alright, kid.

20:27Oh, thank God.

20:29What about us?

20:30That looks like, what?

20:32Six glasses per person?

20:33Mmm.

20:35Bit of an overkiller.

20:36I like the name cards.

20:38How are you with a calligraphy pen?

20:41I'll get it.

20:42Oh, my God.

20:42What are you doing here?

20:51Oh, my God.

20:52What are you doing here?

20:53Oh, Monique called me.

20:55Surprise!

20:56Oh, I was just too excited about the wedding.

20:58It's really snuck up on us, hasn't it?

21:00How did you know that we'd pulled her forward?

21:03Oh, lucky timing, right?

21:05Yeah, I thought you could use some brother time.

21:07You know, now he can be here for it.

21:08So, very lucky.

21:10I'm here, Baba.

21:11I don't have a neighbour there.

21:13So?

21:14So?

21:16So?

21:17We're just talking table settings.

21:19Perfect timing!

21:19Chris?

21:29Anything?

21:30No.

21:32Okay, well, pulse is 50 and BP is 100 over 60.

21:36Oh, we're still running presses to support her BP, but her SATs are 89.

21:41Hey.

21:42She's off the ventilator?

21:44We're doing an apnea test.

21:46Oh.

21:46We've done all the neurological tests.

21:50No brain activity has been detected.

21:52Yet.

21:53ABG results.

21:57Okay, carbon dioxide's 80.

22:00Come on, Steve.

22:02Esther, we should call it.

22:04No, we can re-oxygenate her, and then we'll give her time to rest, and try again.

22:10She's a donor.

22:12The less time we waste, the better the preservation of organs.

22:14You know that.

22:18No.

22:19No, we can.

22:20She has met all the criteria now.

22:23So, does that...

22:24Yeah, this is absolute confirmation of brain death.

22:29I'm so sorry, Esther, but she's gone.

22:31Sorry you're lying, but...

22:52Look.

22:55Different.

22:57It's been a while.

22:58It's been a while.

23:01It's been a while.

23:03It's been a while.

23:05It's been a while.

23:06It's been a while.

23:07It's been a while.

23:08It's been a while.

23:09It's been a while.

23:10It's been a while.

23:11It's been a while.

23:12It's been a while.

23:13It's been a while.

23:14It's been a while.
