00:42you might experience a mild abdominal pain it's nothing to worry about okay
00:55yeah
01:00you left your read receipts on so I know you haven't blocked my number so it'd be super cool if
01:04you
01:04could literally apply to any of the hundreds of texts that I've sent you even just like a little
01:07thumbs up just so that I know that you're alive well I know that you're alive because I saw your
01:10shadow in one of Bonnie's posts so are you okay no fine no this is the emmets voicemail is full
01:20and
01:21I can't leave another message is that even legal well how many of you left it hardly any well why
01:26are you trying to get a hold of them so desperately like I'm going to tell you anything ever again
01:30after the whole as you don't say to come on phone away room one PEG flash you completed your surgical
01:39assessment of mr. law if you have no other patients that require your attention you should get underway
01:47you gonna let me do anything uh you wanna give him some water
01:57status uh just giving this patient here with the headache some fluids and then he'll probably be
02:02ready for discharge after that no we won't what's wrong with this picture sorry
02:11waiting uh his hand motor weakness on the left side this could be much worse than a simple headache
02:17sorry I didn't um James prep the patient for CT head nice catch
02:28ASIC protocol which I assume is in your knowledge gap what you didn't attend nursing school I'm still a
02:34qualified nurse not in the traditional sense you missed a subtle symptom which could indicate a
02:39neurological issue stroke or even subarachnoid hemorrhage let James take the lead from here
02:44you might learn something
02:54oh is this how the magic happens what you thought the snack elves came in the night
02:58I'll pay you direct for a drink
03:05oh hey Marty I know that I used the end of your tea bags and I'm really sorry I will
03:09replenish them
03:10no freeloading here don't worry it's just tea but while we're on the subject of freeloading I'm moving
03:15out don't worry I'm working on it can I help no you've done enough I mean you've done more than
03:22enough not an investigation as such maybe just keeping an eye on her okay and hopefully she can
03:28make some changes and we won't have to take it further right Rachel um two quick things one I'm
03:36not gay anymore just so you know okay and two can I get that advance on money talk to accounts
03:42well no
03:42I'm I'm talking about the little side projects that I'm doing for you actually hold fire on that but
03:48you're good for it right I can still have the money because I've done a lot of the heavy lifting
03:51sorry Libby manage it scare would be mint what competition I've crazy luck winning these my
04:04neighbors auntie had a raffle once for her rescue shelter because you know taking in strays and
04:08getting them rehomed can be super spending and all these people donated a bunch of prizes and guess what
04:15my mum bought 10 tickets got nothing I bought one ticket scored a free ride and all the best that
04:21year so raffle for charity that's kind of genius yeah until her ex ran away with all the cash so
04:28he
04:28could take his new missus on a roadie to topo well that is the risky take
04:35I'd like to look over the clinic finances too I went through everything that David handed over twice
04:40there's nothing do we even know the records are accurate he said more than enough time to cover
04:46his tracks you really think he's capable of something like that yes don't you honestly I'm
04:52not so sure anymore what do you mean it's all a bit outlandish Chris has he threatened you no no
05:01of
05:01course not it's just maybe they're wrong about this and him
05:11I'm still waiting on the x-rays from radiology but it doesn't look like he needs surgery so it's a
05:16waste of time
05:17calling me down ED consults aren't a waste of time they're very important in the lead up to your exam
05:21yes I know I wasn't being literal you're what two weeks out now how are your preparations going
05:27you know the online study studied for this exam before yes hopefully this time we'll see a better
05:32result hey I'm in theater for right actually can we run through the roster please both of you just
05:38one sec see you and Olivier I'm on the stapidectomy right are you gonna fill out a relationship
05:48declaration form or do you think they might scare her off right so Izzy yes you're in theater four
05:53and then I'd like to move you on to the stapidectomy what sweet I'm doing that surgery I'd like you
05:59in
05:59theater one two tonsillectomies and an appendix just came through ED you're kidding this is why those
06:04consults are so crucial well I've got a very busy day so I'm gonna go read the notes why are
06:13you doing
06:13this to me I'm putting you on these surgeries because I'm confident you'll get through them quickly
06:17you're trying to prove a point no yes you're still punishing me for that thing with Izzy stop
06:22just forget about Izzy and do your job
06:29you're luteinizing hormonal surge so you'll be doing your IUI tomorrow at 9am I know it's
06:35exciting right I'm just gonna pop the confirmation into an email and select you now okay see ya
06:45that's not Susan calling you is it no um you're gonna be needing a lot of support going forward so
06:53it's best to start planning logistics now sure for instance when we do your egg retrieval you're
06:58gonna be under mild sedation so you're gonna need somebody to drive you home yeah of course I'll sort
07:02it out this process with IVF the treatments the procedures to come it's going to be very difficult
07:11to go through all of that on your own yeah but the whole point is that I'm doing it by
07:15myself and you
07:17said it would be empowering and brave remember and it is and I'm not saying it can't be a solo
07:21parent by
07:22choice did not be no but what I am saying is that it's not too late to back out for
07:29all our good
07:31intentions this can be a heartbreaking experience yeah not enough to try and fire me or put me off
07:37the program but yeah for real I am and okay so let's let's do this yeah of course and Vili's
07:45in my
07:45corner so I'm sussed okay really I'm yeah okay this is kind of days if risk pain after tripping
07:58cube two is free oh you two um know each other no no colleges wrong is young Navy Commodore Sophia
08:08Crane Royal Navy United Kingdom medic can you please transfer Commodore juice to the bed to talk
08:14on it you'll need an x-ray of the left arm including the elbow please absolutely I'll call radiology
08:22it'd be my pleasure it'd be your pleasure hey hey mind of a matter you're laying on a bit thick
08:31here mate forward to land sure Judy we're starting a week may I ask why you didn't see the medic
08:38on base
08:39uh I wasn't there this was closer something else bothering you just a headache and do you get them
08:47often not really radiology can take him in 20 minutes in the meantime can you please do a full head
08:54to
08:54toe assessment on the Commodore of course yes I would love to well he's having a lot of meetings and
09:03most of
09:03them aren't even on his calendar meetings with who I don't know but they are all online and he's very
09:12glued to his laptop it could be reps or fertility specialists or perhaps even his divorce lawyer so
09:18why keep it secret from his PA probably doesn't trust her and rightfully so no offense Libby but
09:24this has been very helpful has it he also gave Selena the last spot in his subsidized IVF program what
09:32she told me she didn't meet the criteria well something changed anywho um thank you so much for
09:39your generous support with the women in need fund um how many tickets should I put down there $15 each
09:46I've only got a 50 oh that's fine I don't want any can't I just make an online donation you
09:51certainly
09:51can uh just pop it into my account and I'll put it in where it needs to go so what's
09:57the prize oh it's
09:59it's great but it's more about helping than the prize I don't know where these doubts of yours are
10:08coming from David is clearly doing something dodgy why because he's giving Selena someone who can't
10:13afford IVF an actual chance of getting pregnant because that is a 180 and because he's shutting
10:18Libby out of meetings I kept Libby out of meetings yeah well you were doing something dodgy too and
10:23who orchestrated that whole mess well have you forgotten I have five weeks left till I need to
10:28look for a job this is David we're talking about we've known him for years we know the kind of
10:33person
10:34that he is he wouldn't hurt anyone well people change not always for the better that's cynical
10:39it's true we need to stop this we are so close to figuring it out we need to be a
10:46lot closer before
10:47we risk blowing up both our professional reputations so let's keep going Chris if there was something to
10:52find we would have found it we're fooling ourselves you don't think that I do I think we've egged each
11:01other on and we've taken it too far just leave them be leave David and the clinic alone hey this
11:10is
11:11Brodie 12 years old demon on the skateboard hi I'm poppy I'm one of the doctors hi but today the
11:16skateboard one and the ankle lost so his lovely school nurse brought him in he's had 200 milligrams
11:22of ibuprofen and she's been a champion with the ice elevation okay it's gonna pop this in here yeah
11:29you want me through what happened while I take a look just going down the hill to the gate and
11:33don't know just wiped out like lost your balance must have had a stone or something and did you hit
11:38your head when you fell no I had my helmet on anyway good man that goes mental if I don't

12:27uh heavy-handed and when I want your opinion I'll request it she is getting me to do a full
12:36neuro on that guy with a sore wrist the one in uniform yeah talk about preferential treatment
12:41they don't even know each other and they got secret little hand signals you mean the salute

12:59job of examining you're neither a doctor nor a nurse educator I was just showing him how which

14:17yourself
14:18the trouble of trying to ruin that I don't mean to poke holes I don't care and it doesn't matter
14:24what
14:24you mean because you don't have the right to an opinion on me my body or he's hoping my baby
14:34his parents are on their way but I'd really like a second opinion I see his ankles not fractured
14:38no he experiences occasional diplopia okay and when he had his muesli bar thing before he choked a little
14:44bit I asked him about it but he said it just happens sometimes what are you thinking I don't
14:48know just that there might be something more going on maybe some dysfunction of his fifth cranial nerve
14:53what are you doing here if it tracks with trigeminal neuralgia then ask if he's had any discomfort
14:58brushing his teeth numbness tingling I signed you to theater one excuse us poppy Wilson finished early
15:03and I reassigned him what I'd start with a ct good call and we should carry out a neuro exam
