Hello, I'm Dr Ford, psych reg on call.

Hi, I'm Dr Hernandez. I've got a patient I'd like you to see.

From these notes, it seems your assessment of Rosie was very brief.

'He was in a rush.'

His phone kept going off. He just asked a few questions, then he left.

Dr McAllister had asked me to attend a Mental Health Act assessment.

If you don't come now, I'm taking it higher.

You were on call. Rosie should have been your priority.

I thought I could do both.

The hell you are! Give me back my baby!

SHOUTING

What did you make of Rosie's symptoms?

At that point, she wasn't displaying any psychotic symptoms.

Do you hear or feel things when there's nothing there?

What do you mean? Prescribe lorazepam,

two milligrams when she gets home and two before bed.

I'll write the prescription.

That way, you have the tablets if you think you need them.

James, sorry to wake you, but we've got a situation

with a patient, Rosie Newman.

Where the hell have you been?

I'm on the phone to AMHP, we're waiting for you. Car trouble.

Can I check what time Rosie took the lorazepam prescribed?

Well, I don't know. I didn't see her physically take any tablets.

I don't know...

Oh! Rosie!

I tried... I tried, I failed, I...

We'll just talk.

If Rosie's symptoms were picked up earlier,

this entire tragedy could have been avoided.

I trusted your advice. Did you?

Because Rosie didn't take the lorazepam.

If she had, none of this would have happened.

I know this was something to do with you.

And when they find out,

it'll be your career that's over, not mine.

If this becomes about your incompetence,

they will go over every inch of your work and your life.

This could all have been avoided.

Why was Dr Ford so late?

SIREN WAILS

BUSY CHATTER

Afternoon, everyone.

Thank you all for coming.

Look, we provide a vital service to the community,

the value of which is hard to quantify.

However, the increasing number of departmental failings

and serious safety concerns are becoming hard to ignore.

And now, due to the death of a vulnerable patient

and the subsequent MIU investigation into those individuals involved,

the Integrated Care Board is seriously considering

closing us down. What? No.

MURMURING What about our jobs?

And all the patients?

All right, let me finish.

If we can demonstrate we've learnt from this incident

and can function safely, we can save the unit.

How are we meant to do that? We keep reporting problems

and nothing happens. We need proper funding to function safely.

MURMURING

Well, additional funding has previously been made available,

and we're doing our best... JEERING

We are doing our best to secure more.

But in the meantime, we'll be monitoring you closely

and assessing your clinical skills over the coming weeks.

So, please, adhere to protocol at all times.

As a first step, impromptu resuscitation drills

will be carried out on the wards, I'm afraid.

And we expect you to treat these like real-life emergency situations.

Look, as your Chief Medical Director,

I've fought hard to keep this unit open.

And we'll keep fighting, yes?

Until closure is off the table.

Thank you.

DR FORD: Did someone bleep me?

You've got a visitor in the relatives' room.

Any details?

Nope. Sorry.

Helpful (!)

Mr Newman.

I need answers.

How did you miss how unwell Rosie was? Why did you let her go?

Rosie wasn't exhibiting any severe symptoms...

You had a second chance to save her life, and you let her run away.

How could you let that happen?

And now they're saying that if she'd taken the lorazepam,

all of this would have been avoided.

Why didn't you stress how important that was?

Where were you?

INAUDIBLE

KNOCKING You let her...

Sorry, mate.

Do you want me to delay your 1pm? No, no, no.

They're here, Kwame, erm...

That patient from earlier...

..could you ask management to... handle that?

Right.

Yeah, sure.

Mr Newman, the Trust are conducting an investigation...

An investigation'll take months.

I do not have months, I just need answers now.

I cannot eat, can't sleep. Alfie's crying all the time.

I'm off work.

My little girl, she asks me, "When's Mummy coming back?"

What am I supposed to say to that?

You should take a seat, I'll get you a drink, tea or a coffee.

I don't want a fucking coffee! I want to know why my wife died.

You said that Rosie was psychotic, but that does not happen overnight.

Why didn't anyone else notice before?

It can come on gradually.

You said the community midwives came to visit you.

Did they notice anything? How?

How could they? They just came and they went.

When Rosie gave birth, there were doctors,

there were midwives on that ward 24-7.

They should have noticed something.

But Rosie might not have had any symptoms at that time.

Four days. She was sat on that ward for four days.

They had four fucking days!

Four days? Rosie was on the postnatal ward for four days?

Yes.

Why? Was there a problem?

What do you mean, problem? It just seems to be a long time.

So you're saying there was something wrong? No.

I'm just asking.

If they told you everything was normal...

Normal? How am I supposed to know what's normal?

You're just talking in circles...

CONVERSATION MUFFLED

..to the next professional, and I'm sick of it!

Mr Newman, why don't we go into my office...?

Why is he trying to blame Rosie's death on the birth?

I didn't say that.

If you threaten our staff, we'll have to ask you to leave.

HE SIGHS Fine. I'll go.

What did you say to upset him?

Nothing.

He said Rosie was on the ward for four days.

I asked why.

Cos that doesn't seem normal, does it?

That doesn't seem necessary.

Was there a problem with the birth?

SHE EXHALES

We have a world-class maternity unit, Dr Ford.

Nothing he said is relevant to understanding

why his wife jumped off a roof under your care.

I think we should revisit compensating Mr Newman now,

before he does any more damage.

HE EXHALES

The board won't be happy. What's the alternative?

We need to make sure the MIU remain focused on Dr Ford.

OK.

OK.

Set up a meeting with them.

DOOR OPENS THEN CLOSES

FROM TV: 'Hypertension, defined as blood pressure

'higher than 140 over 90,

'is far and away the leading risk factor

'when it comes to premature death.'

How are you finding the aripiprazole, Samira?

Samira, your medication. How are you finding it?

There's a doctor on the telly just like you.

You need to come quickly. It's Toni.

She's locked herself in the toilet, and the baby's coming.

Toni! Toni, we need you to come out.

Toni, open the door!

Open the door!

SHE CRIES We need the master key.

What master key?

Just call Dr McAllister, quick.

Toni, open this door.

SHE CRIES OUT

Toni, we are trying to help you.

How did this happen?

Where's her one-to-one nurse? I don't know.

Hi, Dr McAllister. Toni's gone into labour...

Toni, stand back from the door. Stand back from the door!

SHE CRIES OUT

SHE SHOUTS

Just out this way. Out this way.

Step right over here.

That's it. Everything's gonna be OK.

Caitlyn, can I have a pillow, please? Quickly.

Thank you.

TONI CRIES AND MOANS

Toni, stay calm.

We need to wait for obstetrics. There's no time.

We shouldn't be doing this!

Toni, push.

SHE YELLS

Eric Sawers, Chief Medical Director.

Good to meet you.

And this is my colleague.

Indira Sharma, I'm Director of Communications.

Nice to meet you.

We appreciate you organising this meeting.

Rosie Newman's death was a tragedy,

and one that, as Medical Director, I feel some responsibility for.

As a trust,

we're keen to prevent anything like this ever happening again.

Thank you.

Our initial interview with Dr Ford

highlighted a number of issues with his management of Rosie.

We've also spoken to key witnesses,

and there are a few details we'd like to clarify.

I see. How long has Dr Ford worked here?

He came to us midway through last year from another hospital.

That's unusual for a registrar. Do you know why?

He had a good reference, so we didn't probe.

His former hospital should be able to provide more details.

We'll contact them, get his HR records.

How else can I help?

SHE GRUNTS

It's OK. It's OK.

That's it.

Calm down, Toni, it's OK.

What's wrong?

What is it, Toni?

The baby's stuck. The shoulders aren't coming.

Toni, Toni, stop pushing. Toni, stop pushing! Stop, Toni.

Listen. Stop pushing. Stop. Toni, can you hear me?

What are you doing? You need to stop pushing.

I'm looking up shoulder dystocia.

You are not an obstetrician. Maybe we should wait for them.

If we don't do anything, they'll both die.

Toni, stop pushing! Listen, stop pushing, Toni.

TONI CRIES OUT

It's OK, Toni. Toni, we're gonna get your baby out.

Guys, I need you to take a leg each,

and push her leg back towards her chest like this.

Take that leg. I don't know what I'm doing.

I know, it's all right, we've got this.

It's all right, Toni. I can feel the shoulders.

They're moving. Now you can push. Toni, push.

OK.

GUSHING

Oh, my God, it's working.

That's it. You did it, Toni, you did it.

What are you doing?

The baby was stuck.

Fast bleep the neonatal resus team.

They want me dead. They don't want you dead, Toni.

You were meant to bring her over as soon as labour started.

As soon as anyone realised what was happening,

the baby was already coming. You're doing brilliantly.

Just keep breathing. Keep breathing, slow breaths.

That's it. Slow breaths.

Shit!

Is it dead? Resus team here in ten.

That's too long.

Can we get the mother out of here? She's losing too much blood.

Shit. Help her with the baby.

Toni! Listen to me. Can you hear me? Toni.

She's losing consciousness. Have you got fluids, an ABG machine?

No. There's a bag of fluid in there. You'll have to hold it up.

Toni, stay with us. Anything?

No. Stay with us, Toni.

Toni needs oxygen.

We don't have any.

We've got a weak heartbeat.

BABY CRIES

SHE EXHALES

She's losing too much blood, I need to get her into theatre.

BABY CRIES

Stay calm. We're just on our way to hospital.

I can't believe this.

Where was her one-to-one nurse?

I had to take her off one-to-one.

We should go back to the ward.

She should have been under constant supervision.

She wasn't due for four weeks.

I couldn't commit one nurse to her for that amount of time.

She was always at risk of a premature birth. I know!

You have no idea what this department's up against.

What does that mean?

Just leave the ward management to me.

And the MIU can't find out about this. We saved their lives!

They won't think that. Trust me. Couldn't have come at a worse time.

MACHINES BLEEPING

I can't control the bleeding.

Then you'll have to do a hysterectomy.

We should have consented her properly, explained the risks.

How?

She was lucid before she went under.

She understood we were taking her to theatre.

She won't be able to have any more children.

Is that a bad thing?

Come on, let's open her up.

Yes, Mr Mansoor.

Get me two more units of cross-matched blood.

Two more units? Yeah.

On it.

Get her legs down and lie her flat.

'Well, that was a total shitshow.'

Yep. I'm doing an incident report.

OK, then.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. You're reporting Dr McAllister?

Dr McAllister shouldn't have taken Toni off one-to-one.

Yeah, but we're short-staffed, Toni wasn't due for four weeks.

In her defence, we can't afford to spare a nurse for that long.

Obstetrics were the problem, not Kate.

If you report her, it reflects badly on all of us.

It already reflects badly on us.

And Dr McAllister would throw all of us under the bus

if her career depended on it.

No, she wouldn't.

Obstetrics are gonna blame us anyway,

so we need to stick together, not make things worse for ourselves.

They messed up, but they're going to blame me.

Nobody will blame you.

If psychiatry had alerted us earlier,

this wouldn't have happened.

You did your best in extremely difficult circumstances.

Look, a patient like that is unlikely to make a complaint,

but if this does become a problem,

you should get your version of events out there first.

That psychiatry registrar, Dr Ford,

he made several mistakes.

Make sure the right people know that.

Where did you get to with Dr Ford's late arrival?

Well, Bernadette's right.

CCTV footage shows him entering the staff car park just before 3am.

Now, there are roadworks near his address,

but I checked, and whichever route you take round them,

it's still less than 20 minutes to QM.

Right, well, speak to police liaison,

let's get them to do a licence plate check.

ANPR might have picked his car up somewhere.

Oh, I meant to ask, do you and Gina fancy coming over for dinner?

Ooh, dinner with the boss? That's a big step.

Well, I need to make sure she's good enough for you, don't I?

Put her through her paces, pun absolutely intended.

Well, if you keep making amazing medical jokes like that,

then absolutely not.

Look, she thinks I'm cool.

I'd like to keep it that way. I'm kidding.

Relax, it'll be easy.

And Rubi will be there. OK, well, let's do a restaurant.

It'll feel less like bringing her home to meet the parents.

Er, surely you mean slightly older much better looking sister?

PHONE RINGS Yeah.

Hello?

Hi, it's Dr Hernandez from QM.

I was hoping to be able to meet with you at some point.

We're actually at QM. We can come and see you now.

No, I'd prefer to meet somewhere off-site.

'Maybe tomorrow?' OK.

I have some information

that might be relevant to your investigation into Dr Ford.

Yo.

Ah. Can you sign this for Samira?

Dr McAllister wants her meds increased.

Thanks.

Yeah. Oh, OK.

Oh, and do you want me to hold that bed for the one-three-six patient?

For the...

MC, lad with schizophrenia...

the guy who ran naked into a thorn bush?

Oh, he's in A&E waiting for transport.

Cool. I'll go get him. No. We're doing things properly.

We're waiting for an ambulance, even if it takes longer.

Guard that bed with your life from the bed manager, Kwame,

with your life!

Aislene, I'm so sorry.

I've got half-an-hour's escorted leave.

Will you take me down to the shops?

I-I can't, I'm afraid.

Perhaps Kwame will take you later.

'This is a reminder to all staff and patients,

'smoking or vaping is not permitted anywhere...'

It sounds like Dr Ford did quite the heroic thing,

delivering Toni's baby in such difficult circumstances.

Well, it was Dr Ford's fault that we were in those circumstances.

We had an MDT and agreed that as soon as Toni went into labour,

her nurse would bring her over to the labour ward.

But, for whatever reason,

Dr Ford decided she didn't need a one-to-one nurse any more.

That was Dr Ford's decision?

He was the most senior doctor on the ward at the time.

His consultant wasn't there till later.

I mean, Dr Ford would have seen that Toni didn't have a one-to-one.

So, without the one-to-one,

nobody realised Toni was in labour until it was too late,

which ultimately harmed Toni and her baby unnecessarily.

Well, thank you. We'll talk to Dr Ford about that.

While you're here,

I'd like to clarify a few things about Rosie Newman,

if that's all right? Sure.

When you saw her,

did she say anything concerning about her mental health?

No, no, that was her husband, but I took his concerns seriously.

Postpartum patients can be guarded about these things.

So you referred her to Dr Ford.

Yes, and after he agreed to see her, he tried to cancel.

Why?

He wanted to do some other assessment.

He only agreed to see her after I threatened to escalate things.

Really? Yes.

It felt like an... an inconvenience.

Rosie didn't take the lorazepam as Dr Ford recommended.

If she had, it's likely she wouldn't have deteriorated the way she did.

Well, I... I prescribed it exactly as Dr Ford instructed.

I have no idea why she didn't take it.

Mr Newman says Rosie was concerned about breast-feeding on lorazepam.

Did she say anything like that to you?

I said the risk of transfer during breast-feeding was minimal.

Rosie seemed happy with that.

I was clear she needed to take the medication.

Hm.

So another patient and her baby have been seriously harmed

by Dr Ford's poor decision-making?

That's what she said, but I don't know.

Would a registrar really remove a high-risk patient's one-to-one

without discussing it with the consultant?

No, you're right. That is a consultant-level decision.

So, why did Dr Hernandez feel the need to arrange a meeting

just to tell us that? Dr Ford's HR record has arrived.

And there's something you're gonna wanna see.

What is it?

Well, they mention a serious untoward incident

that took place before he left.

But... all the details have been redacted.

Must have been some incident.

Some of the witness statements mention the police.

If it was serious enough to involve them,

then there might be something in the press.

It's worth a trawl. See what you can find.

Oh, and we should contact Dr Ford's clinical supervisor, Dr McAllister.

If there's anything concerning on his record, she might know.

Thanks, George.

Ideally, we'd have managed the bleeding conservatively,

but the hysterectomy was unavoidable.

Unavoidable? Yes!

Did you even try and consent her for that? Mm-hm.

Anyway, she's doing really well and should be ready for discharge

back to you in a day or so.

To the psych unit? Yes!

You're actually serious. She hasn't met her child.

She doesn't know she's had a hysterectomy.

Then tell her. She's a lot better than she was.

She seems depressed. She's in no fit state to be told that now.

One minute she's psychotic, then she's depressed.

She can be both. Yeah, I agree with Dr Ford.

The psych unit isn't suitable for a post-op patient.

She needs time to recover and to bond with her baby.

And we'll need to get child and family services involved

before she can be transferred. She'll be in hospital for weeks.

Well, that can't happen on the postnatal ward.

Most post-op patients go home after three or four days, a week at most.

Yeah, I get it. Ideally, she'd go to a psychiatric mother-baby unit,

but it's hard to get a bed. Then she'll have to go to Willow Ward.

You can arrange for her to see the baby there.

Sorry, in what world does a newborn belong on an acute psychiatric ward?

I don't know, maybe in the world where psychiatrists think

they're qualified to deliver babies?

OK. She'll go to the postnatal ward until a mother-baby bed frees up.

We will provide one-to-one psychiatric nursing.

If Arun has a problem with that, he can take it up with me.

James, please document that in the notes.

Hi.

Hi, can I get a log-in, please?

I need to write up some notes.

Shred that when you're done. Thank you.

Are you aware of any incident

that might have caused Dr Ford to leave his previous job?

No.

I understood he moved because of this hospital's good reputation.

When Dr Asamoah called,

it took Dr Ford nearly an hour to attend A&E.

Well, that's the first I've heard of this.

Is Bernadette sure? Yes.

Is he usually late for work, or for assessments on call?

No, never. No-one's ever fed back anything like that.

You know, Dr Ford tried to cancel Rosie's review

to attend the sectioning of a ward patient,

but changed his mind and did both.

Do you know why?

Er, because he's diligent and determined to please.

He knew I was in a meeting,

and probably thought no-one else could do the section.

So you didn't ask Dr Ford to attend Toni's sectioning?

No.

And could you have left your meeting to attend Toni's assessment?

Yes, and if James had come to me, that's what I would have said,

but he is self-sufficient and extremely competent,

so he probably thought it would be easier to do it himself.

One last thing. Mm-hm.

We know Toni recently gave birth on your ward

after her one-to-one was removed.

Whose decision was that?

Um, unfortunately, that was a management decision.

I insisted on a one-to-one,

but I was told that we could only afford one

for the last week or so of Toni's pregnancy.

Right.

'Rosie, is someone else talking to you apart from me?'

'Who the fuck are you calling a failure?'

'I am not going to hurt you.

'Do you know who I am? Do you remember?'

'I tried!' 'Rosie!'

Following our last interview, we'd like to clarify a few things.

You said Dr McAllister asked you to attend

the Mental Health Act assessment.

Yes.

Nobody else was available.

She was just in a management meeting.

If you'd come to her, she says she'd have done the assessment

and told you to see Rosie, like you should have done.

Well, that's not what I recall, but perhaps I misunderstood.

You were on call.

Your priority was to review on-call patients.

Precisely, which is why I wouldn't have agreed to go to the assessment

if there was another option. So Dr McAllister lied?

No, I'm saying...

there must have been a misunderstanding.

The patient Toni Campbell-Brown recently gave birth, didn't she?

Sorry, er...

I thought this interview was about Rosie Newman.

And instead of following the plan, you delivered her baby

on an acute psychiatric ward.

Who told you that? Dr Hernandez?

The baby nearly died.

And your patient is now infertile.

Toni should never have been on our ward,

but obstetrics refused to take her.

Obstetrics were unaware

that the psych unit lacked the clinical resources for an emergency.

If they'd have known, they'd have taken Toni.

They're lying! They're lying.

Look, Toni wasn't our fault.

You should be speaking with obstetrics.

Kathy, can you pull up the CCTV image, please?

Dr Ford, is this your car?

Yeah.

The night Rosie Newman died, Dr Asamoah called you at 2am.

And you said you came in from home. Yes.

Why did it take you so long to come in?

There's... There's roadworks.

They've been pulling up Healey Street,

so keep changing the diversion.

You arrived nearly an hour after Bernadette called.

Must have been... quite the diversion.

If you'd arrived within 30 minutes,

Rosie and Ed would have still been in A&E majors.

You could have asked Ed about the lorazepam,

and seen Rosie deteriorate again, assaulting the officer.

You wouldn't have removed her restraints,

she wouldn't have been under-sedated,

and she'd still probably be alive.

Kathy, next slide, please.

These are all the routes you could have taken from home.

None add more than five minutes to your journey,

even with roadworks. Kathy, next image, please?

Police ANPR picked your car up that night in these locations.

In fact, in the last 90 days,

your car's been picked up by these same cameras several times.

I was at my girlfriend's.

Sometimes I stay there when I'm on call

cos my flatmates are noisy,

so it's less stressful to stay at hers, OK?

No. That's not OK.

Hospital guidelines stipulate that doctors can be on call from home

only if it's within 30 minutes of the hospital.

Your girlfriend lives nearly an hour away...

This is a waste of time.

You should be asking Dr Hernandez what went wrong with Rosie's birth.

Why? What happened?

Rosie's husband told me Rosie was on the postnatal ward

for four days.

You're only on the ward that long if you've had serious complications.

And Mr Newman specifically said there was a problem with the birth?

No, but it was... Well, then, that's just supposition.

But we have Rosie's maternity notes.

If there's a clinical reason for her prolonged admission,

we can easily clarify that.

Why did you leave your last job?

Sorry, what's that got to do with this?

Well, we received a heavily redacted HR record from Oakwell Hospital,

referencing a serious untoward incident.

Why is it redacted?

Because it wasn't relevant.

Kathy, next image, please.

"After swearing at the female nurse,

"the mentally ill man was placed in seclusion.

"However, a junior doctor,

"who remains anonymous for legal reasons,

"terminated the seclusion

"because he felt the punishment was too harsh.

"Shortly after, the nurse was assaulted."

Does this article refer to you, Dr Ford?

Yes, but that's not what happened.

Well, then, tell us your version of events.

Sure.

There was a culture on that ward of nurses putting difficult patients

in seclusion because it was easier than other de-escalation methods.

So you just felt your colleagues were being lazy, you knew better.

No, I was trying to act in the best interests of my patient,

I was advocating for him. But your risk assessment was wrong.

And your colleague ended up in ITU.

She never returned to work.

It echoes what happened with Rosie.

You put your colleagues at risk, and Precious Danso was assaulted.

Rosie, Toni, your former colleague.

You need to be the hero, delivering babies,

freeing patients at the risk of other people's safety.

No. That's not true or fair.

I see a doctor who dislikes the restriction of protocols,

a rule-breaker who thinks he knows better than the police,

his colleagues, and puts everyone around him at risk.

And you've proven this time and time again.

Being a good doctor requires teamwork,

excellent communication skills, and the ability to prioritise.

You haven't demonstrated any of these.

As such, we are proceeding

to a full fitness to practise investigation.

HE SCOFFS, SIGHS

You've got this all wrong. Once our investigation is complete,

we'll present our findings to a tribunal panel,

who'll then decide whether you can continue to practise medicine.

HE EXHALES

I think we're done.

CLASSICAL MUSIC PLAYING

Are you a real doctor?

Samira, we've been through this.

I am a real doctor, this is a real hospital... Hi, Samira.

..and this is a real nurse.

Come on.

That increase in her meds isn't working.

Who left this on?

Oh, maintenance were here earlier.

They're useless. This is an acute psychiatric ward.

They can't leave things suicidal patients can use to kill themselves.

So call them back, get them to come back here,

fix this now, properly, and fix it today, all right?

I'll do it once I'm finished. Where's Kate?

I haven't seen her all morning.

Why's MC not on the board?

He's in A&E waiting for transport.

Since yesterday? He's low priority.

Well, is he in the one-three-six suite?

No, he's on a trolley in the majors corridor with a one-to-one.

What's the point in following protocol

if it doesn't fucking work?

Yeah, hi, hi, yeah,

it's Dr James Ford here from Willow Ward.

Yes, you have a patient that's waiting to be brought across to us?

Yeah, I need two nurses to walk him across now.

I don't care.

"Select product." I am selecting product,

just give me the chocolate, for God's sake! Norma?

They install all these fancy machines

to stop us leaving the office, and they never bloody work.

What is it?

Rosie Newman was on the postnatal ward for four days.

Do the notes explain why? No.

They used forceps, but the baby was successfully delivered

without any mention of complications.

And the notes repeatedly say

both mother and baby were doing well before discharge.

Who discharged her?

Her midwife, Maria Carter,

after a discussion with Dr Hernandez.

SHE SIGHS

Where are you going?

Going to the cafe to get a snack. Come on, walk and talk.

Susannah, please put this on my desk. Yes, of course.

I called the ward to speak to Maria, but she transferred from QM

to North Yorkshire Hospital six weeks ago.

And shortly after that, she was suspended.

Why?

Well, the Nursing and Midwifery Registry were reluctant

to tell me the details, as it's a highly sensitive investigation.

OK.

Yeah, but they did say it had nothing to do with her time

on QM's maternity unit, so they shared her contact details with me.

She very quickly sent an email refusing to speak to us

unless it was done formally with her RCM rep and lawyer present.

Great. You explained we're not part of their investigation,

we just want a statement about Rosie's presentation?

Yep. It made no difference. Fine.

Set up a meeting as soon as possible.

Ms Carter, thank you for coming in to see us.

You didn't leave me much choice.

Two months ago,

you were Rosie Newman's named midwife at QMUH.

Unfortunately, Rosie passed away three weeks ago.

During a postnatal psychotic episode,

she fell from a hospital roof.

I saw it in the news.

A complaint has been made about a doctor

who failed to do an appropriate psychiatric examination

before Rosie died.

So Dr Hernandez is being investigated and she's blaming me?

Maria... Just because I disagreed with her.

I said there was a problem

and that Rosie needed to see a psychiatrist, but...

Maria... ..she asked me to cancel the referral.

I strongly advise you not to say anything else.

Are you saying Rosie was referred to psychiatry

when she gave birth, six weeks before her death?

My client is already being investigated

by the nursing and midwifery regulatory body.

It is not appropriate for you to question her

about another ongoing medical investigation.

Maria, what did you and Dr Hernandez disagree about?

Was it Rosie's management? I'm terminating this interview.

Let's go, Maria.

Maria, if you know of anything

that could help us understand how Rosie became so unwell,

you should tell us.

Maria, let's go.

I've got nothing else to say.

I left these out for you, why haven't you packed them?

We don't need them any more. Dad's bought us loads of new stuff.

HORN HOOTS

Right, your dad's here.

LAUGHTER, MUSIC PLAYING

Hello, mate. What are you doing?

You know your sister's cooked a full-on feast.

Yeah. I've had a shit day. I'm not in the mood for socialising.

There are literally no nutrients in there.

What the fuck? They cost actual money.

It never ceases to amaze me how unhealthy you doctors are.

No. Come on. You're eating with us.

And I've invited someone you might like. Come on.

LAUGHTER, CHATTER

No way! CHATTER FADES

James.

Are you a tech guy like Will?

No, James has a real job. He's a... He's a psychiatrist.

Oh, cool. Did you, like, do a special course or something?

SNIGGERING

Er, I went to medical school. Oh, yeah.

My friend Tilly does that, but she studied psychology, not medicine.

No, James is a medical doctor. Tilly's a psychologist.

What's the difference? Sorry. LAUGHTER

Until I met this guy, honestly, I thought they were the same thing.

But he works on a ward with all these completely mental people.

Patients.

Um... it's not really like that.

What's the craziest...? What's the craziest patient you've ever had?

Um, probably a patient who collected dead pigeons,

burnt them in butter and took them to the Palace

as a present for the King.

James, that-that's disgusting.

She'd confused that nursery rhyme,

"Four and twenty blackbirds baked in a pie..."

See I told you, man, he works in a madhouse.

TEXT ALERT

Right. Cab'll be here in five minutes, guys.

Where you going? For a drink, then to that new club on North Street.

You should come.

I told you.

So, Gina, how long have you been an architect?

Five years. Wow!

It's hard work, but I really enjoy it.

Do you design homes? I love all those luxury property shows on TV.

It looks so glamorous. I do.

But mostly small, private homes,

so it's not glamorous at all.

She's being modest, she's working

on a multi-million-pound property deal right now.

Don't jinx it. If our client wins the bid,

it'll be the biggest job I've ever done.

I'd love to do something creative.

There's plenty of creativity in medicine.

No, there isn't.

Yes, there is. How?

You have to stick to protocols, guidelines.

Your entire job is ensuring everyone tows the party line,

or else they're out.

You've always wanted to be a doctor.

No, you've always wanted me to be a doctor.

Are you not enjoying uni?

Erm, shall we get another bottle?

Hm. Yeah. Yeah?

Can we get another bottle, please?

DANCE MUSIC PLAYS

Two? Did you just double-drop? You can't take two!

LAUGHING

Mate, can I have a whisky, please?

Actually, can you make it three, mate?

CHATTER

Airam Street.

Cheers, mate.

Um...

It's really, really hot in here.

Can you open your window, too?

Yeah, sure.

Are you OK?

Oh...

My head's... My head's pounding and my chest hurts.

Fizz, are you OK? Look at me.

Fizz?

Fizz?

Mate, can take us to A&E, quickly! She's just drunk!

She's not.

Take us to North Yorkshire. Fuck's sake.

QM's much nearer. I'll take you there.

She'll be seen quicker at North Yorkshire.

I dunno, mate, I don't want her dying in my cab.

Look, mate, I'm a doctor, OK?

Just take us to North Yorkshire A&E... please!

Fizz, Fizz, listen to me? Can you hear me, yeah?

Fizz? Fizz?

RAPID CHATTER

Check airway, please.

Can we get some lines in?

We need to run some bloods and do a tox screen, thank you.

What's her name?

What's her name? Oh, I just know her as... as Fizz.

Patient's name is Fizz. And what's yours?

Toby, Toby Tait.

Right, and what's she taken, Toby?

Pills, I think, and... I don't know if anything else.

What kind of pills?

I dunno.

Did you give her the drugs?

No! No, I... I... I don't know her.

We only just met.

Right, just stand over there, I'll get some more details

from you later.

Right, can I get an update, please?

Fizz... Fizz, can you hear me?

Did you find any drugs on her?

MACHINES BEEP

Has she been sick? She hasn't been sick, no.

Can we get that ABG done, please?

BUZZING

BUZZER

I wasn't expecting you tonight.

I fucked up.
