Rosie! It's Doctor Ford.

Please stop. Don't move! You said Rosie was psychotic.

But that does not happen overnight. ROSIE SCREAMS

Nothing he said is relevant to understanding

why his wife jumped off a roof under your care.

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

Rosie needed to see a psychiatrist.

Maria Carter said that you told her to cancel.

That's obviously a lie.

Do not speak to the MIU again.

'Who was that?' Doctor Munro. He's one of my tutors.

He was here because I'm thinking of quitting med school.

Fizz has been off work sick since that night out.

Take us to A&E.

'Now, I know it sounds bad.'

It doesn't just sound bad, it sounds career-ending.

Mr Mansoor delivered Toni's first baby naturally

without any significant complications.

I was recently told

that Toni's first baby suffered a skull fracture.

Did Toni drop her baby, or didn't she?

Please, I don't wanna end up like Maria.

Get off my ward now.

A bullying complaint has been made against you.

WOMAN SOBS

You forced a patient to have major surgery.

The baby was born safely.

If anything like this ever happens again,

just give one of us a call, that's what we're here for.

We've become aware

of some concerning issues about Dr Hernandez.

We spoke to Maria Carter, Rosie's midwife.

Are you aware Maria Carter is currently under investigation?

We asked you, as a trust, to look at Dr Ford's fitness to practise.

That's our primary concern.

I think it's best you stick to the job you were brought in to do.

So, what now?

We continue looking into Dr Hernandez

but let them think our focus is on Dr Ford.

OK. I'll start putting together a report on him and Rosie Newman.

I'll contact the NMR.

Given what he said, we need to know exactly why

they're investigating Maria.

See what you can dig up from Maternity.

Any staff reporting issues with Dr Hernandez,

incident reports linked to her, that kind of thing.

The nerve of that man, thinking he can tell us how to do our job.

The Trust does not dictate our work.

ANSWERPHONE BEEPS 'Maria, it's Doctor Ford.

'You gave me your number. Erm... It would be great to chat.

'Er, just trying you again. Give me a call when you can.'

DOOR OPENS, CLOSES

KNOCK ON DOOR

So, what have you got for me?

Well, the Maternity department looks great.

They've won multiple awards for good clinical practice

and were rated "excellent" by the CQC.

And what about Dr Hernandez?

She has an exemplary ARCP record,

and no complaints or incident reports involving her.

What, none? No.

The only doctors referred from QM to the MIU in the last three years

were two anaesthetists and two junior doctors.

Well, is there anything that links them, anything they have in common?

Other than QM, nothing, but I can keep digging.

Why don't you, er, print out their case notes

and we'll go through them together?

Yes.

DOOR OPENS

HE EXHALES What's wrong?

Ah, erm, th-that girl from the other night,

from the... from the night club -

she's just been admitted to the ward.

What? Yeah. She's bipolar,

so the overdose triggered a manic episode and...

and... and... and... I-I don't know.

OK.

Is your name in her notes? Yeah.

Fuck's sake, James!

If the Trust find out about this

and that I helped you, then I'm screwed.

You just made a phone call. It's nothing to do with you.

No, it's got everything to do with me!

If she sees me, Kate... You knew she had bipolar disorder?

Funnily, she didn't mention her mental illness during dinner.

I thought you met her at a club.

If there's anything else that you wanna say, James,

now'd be a really good time to say it.

Did you sleep with her?

Because if you slept with her AND you gave her drugs,

then that's... that's really not good.

We... We kissed. Just once.

Twice. That's... That's it.

I swear.

I'd just been to the MIU, I'd just had my interview,

where it transpired you told them you didn't ask me

to go to Toni's assessment, so my head was a little...

So, what, you did it out of spite? No... No.

Then what?

Why would you do that?

You made me look like a liar.

What else was I supposed to say?

Just stay off the ward for a while.

Sure. I'll sort this out.

Hi.

How was teaching? Not useful.

I only go cos it gives me a break away from this madhouse.

Where's James?

God knows.

Look, I've been meaning to talk to you about something.

Have you ever wondered

if Dr McAllister and James are, you know...?

Er... no?

She's his consultant. Exactly.

So why's he always covering for her?

And they spend a lot of time together.

There's no way she'd risk her career over him.

Why on earth are you even bringing this up?

RINGING TONE

MARIA: 'Hello?'

Hi. Yeah, it's erm... it's Dr James Ford.

'I'm not supposed to talk to you.'

Look, er, please, hear me out. It's, erm...

It's not just about Rosie.

I spoke with a different midwife about another traumatic birth.

'She wouldn't tell me anything.

'She just keeps saying that she was too scared of ending up like you.'

Sorry, I'm a bit out of sorts tonight.

This one's tough. Why's that?

Ah, it's complicated.

There's this weird hierarchy in medicine.

Psychiatry's like the poor relation or something.

You should see this psych unit. It's literally falling apart.

Some of our most vulnerable patients,

and we house them in these shitty buildings.

It's impossible to keep them safe.

Can't be easy.

Well, at least it's more meaningful than striking off doctors

for having the wrong parking permit.

THEY LAUGH

He was using his wife's disabled permit

to park in the best hospital bays for free.

It may seem harsh, but, look, if he's prepared to lie about that,

what else would he lie about, you know?

SHE SIGHS Yeah. Yeah.

SHE SCREAMS

That's it, Freya, you're doing really well.

I can't take much more of this. Yes, you can.

Hey, it's natural, hm?

Freya. I found a doctor.

It'll be all right. Yeah? Yeah.

Dr Hernandez, we're good, thanks.

Hi, Freya. My name's Sophia. I'm one of the on-call doctors.

I'd like to do a quick internal exam, if that's OK?

Pop your feet together for me?

Keep breathing, yeah? Right...

What's happening?

There were no beds in the labour ward earlier,

so we paused the induction.

When we resumed, she wasn't progressing,

so we gave her oxytocin.

She is now fully dilated, and she's been pushing for 40 minutes.

FREYA CRIES OUT

The contractions are 6-10,

and there are regular late decelerations.

What rate's the oxytocin?

FREYA MOANS You can. Yeah, you can.

You're doing really well. FREYA MOANS

You're doing really well. Oi, you're doing really well, OK?

That's it, Freya.

OK, Freya, your uterus is contracting too much,

that's why it's so painful.

You and your baby aren't getting enough rest between contractions.

I've stopped the oxytocin, which should help.

Please, please make it stop. I'm begging you.

Come on, Freya. Keep going.

You're strong enough to do this naturally.

Come on! We need to transfer her to theatre.

I can't... You can. Yeah, you can. You can.

You're doing really well.

FREYA PANTS Shh.

There's marked foetal distress,

and I'm worried her uterus might rupture.

She needs a C-section, and I'm happy to do it.

She's too exhausted to keep pushing and...

If she's exhausted, assist her.

We need to get the baby out. The hypoxia...

If there's no obstruction,

it's quicker to get the baby out using a ventouse or forceps.

'Get started. I'll be there soon.'

FREYA PANTS, MOANS

Freya, when the next contraction starts, I want you to push.

I'll pull gently at the same time. I can't.

Yes, you can.

Come on, Freya. That's it, push for me!

FREYA STRAINS

FREYA CRIES OUT

We're going to... try again, Freya.

Please, no, I can feel the contractions.

The epidural's not working.

Do I have time for a spinal? No.

Push for me, Freya. FREYA STRAINS

Push for me. That's it!

Call Mr Mansoor, tell him to hurry up. Call him!

Mr Patel, if you could wait outside, that would be best.

No, shouldn't I...?

Please, Mr Patel.

OK. No, please.

I'm just outside. OK...

Bleep the neonatal resus team.

If we get this baby out, we're going to need them.

Freya? I'm going to try forceps.

FREYA CRIES Freya...

Oh, oh! What's... What's happening?

Ow! Ow, ow...

Forceps. We're compromising the baby.

We need to do a Caesarean.

I've already tried twice with the ventouse, twice with forceps...

Spare me the history - I can see you haven't got the baby out.

I'm gonna give you a general anaesthetic now.

You won't feel any more pain.

You can start.

There he is.

He is pale. Probably not breathing.

What's the heart rate? It's less than 60.

Give five inflation breaths.

We should've done a C-section earlier. This was avoidable.

Reassess. Chest wall was rising. The heart rate?

Close her up.

Still below 60.

Start inflation breaths.

DOOR OPENS, CLOSES

There's no change.

Oh, arriving at work together. Careful, we'll get people talking.

Don't even joke about it - one inappropriate relationship

is enough for me to deal with right now.

Rubi and her uni tutor.

That's why she's back? Yeah.

Oh. I know.

So, I contacted the NMR.

They're investigating multiple historic complaints

against Maria Carter. Really?

Yeah. She worked on the elderly care ward

before retraining as a midwife.

So, ten years ago, a family complained

that their relative died due to the poor care Maria provided.

Nothing came of it, but eight weeks ago,

the family contacted the NMR

and said they wanted their complaint re-examined

because they had new evidence.

What, just after Maria left QM and started her new job?

Exactly. Then more relatives of patients Maria treated

came out of the woodwork with similar historic complaints.

And presumably, because it was so long ago,

the hospital records have been destroyed.

This way.

'The timing seems a bit convenient.'

Hm. You think this is the Trust?

It can't be a coincidence.

Hm.

The Trust know we're in touch. What? How?

You must have said something to someone.

I-I haven't said anything.

They've warned me to stop. Stop what?

I referred Rosie to Psychiatry when she was on the postnatal ward.

The birth was traumatic, but nobody acknowledged it.

She should have had a C-section, but...

instead, they went at her with the forceps,

the ventouse, over and over again.

And they just wrote in the notes,

"Normal vaginal delivery, no complications."

There was nothing normal about the brutality Rosie experienced.

Rosie wasn't reviewed by Psychiatry.

If she had been, I would have seen it in her notes.

SHE SIGHS I knew it.

I knew she'd lied.

Sophia told me to cancel the referral.

Right. And when I refused, she came back and said she'd...

she'd been seen and she was fine to go home.

And then that poor woman... Christ.

I did so many incident reports.

Management did nothing.

So I-I took my complaints to the Trust. They...

They threatened to report me to the NMR

if I didn't drop it and leave, so...

..I agreed to go.

As soon as I started my new job, they reported me anyway.

What are they accusing you of?

DOG BARKS

Were you followed? No, of course not.

My advice is to drop this.

Sophia cancelled that referral.

If she's responsible for Rosie's death,

we should go and talk to the MIU together.

It doesn't matter!

There is nothing the Trust won't do

to protect the hospital's reputation.

It's all they care about -

not the patients, and definitely not us.

Just wait...

..till they really fuck with your life.

You have no idea who you're dealing with.

Please, don't contact me again.

KNOCK ON DOOR Come in.

We have a problem.

What now?

I had to rescue Sophia Hernandez last night.

I told her to prep a patient for a C-section.

She wasn't confident doing it, so I came in.

When I arrived, she'd been going at the baby

with the ventouse and forceps for far too long.

Please tell me the baby survived.

Yes, but it's not good.

They're trying therapeutic cooling, but there's no spontaneous movement.

Absent reflexes. Pupils fixed and dilated.

If he lives, it's gonna be very expensive.

ERIC SIGHS

We need to keep a lid on this. Speak to the family.

Explain things in a way that avoids blame.

And in the meantime, let's give Sophia some time off.

Probably best to keep her away from the parents

in case she says something unhelpful.

DOOR OPENS, CLOSES

If our client wins the bid, it'll be life-changing.

I'm a little nervous, but I think the plans are good.

We might be a small company, but we know what we're doing.

And it feels like the right time for us to take on something bigger.

What's wrong?

It's the... It's the parents of a boy that died.

Erm...

They wanna meet me.

Er, properly, not across a courtroom.

But why are they contacting you?

I thought you had a tribunal, a court case.

You were cleared. I know, but...

..maybe they feel I owe them a better explanation?

I mean, their only child did die.

Fuck. I know.

It might be a good thing.

Healing... for all of you?

BUTTONS BEEP, DOOR BUZZES

Hey. Hi.

Did you manage to sort that thing with Fizz?

Yes. I've transferred her to Mulberry Ward.

And the notes?

Dealt with. There's another thing.

I managed to track down the midwife for Rosie's birth, Maria Carter.

She tried to tell the Trust

Maternity were covering up multiple problems.

And I really think I'm onto something.

James, I don't wanna hear it.

DOOR OPENS

Morning. Morning.

Earlier this week, you helped deliver Baby Patel.

Yes, with Mr Mansoor.

Baby Patel's MRI shows a large subdural haemorrhage

and changes consistent with severe hypoxic-ischaemic encephalopathy.

It's unlikely he'll recover.

According to the midwife, you quickly identified

uterine hyper-stimulation causing foetal hypoxia?

Yes.

So why on earth did you persist with an assisted vaginal delivery

instead of an emergency Caesarean like Mr Mansoor told you to?

What?

You wasted nearly 20 crucial minutes,

time that could have drastically changed the outcome for this baby.

The family want us to investigate what went wrong.

And while we do that,

it would be in your best interest to take some time off.

You're suspending me?

Not a suspension.

An incident like this will affect your management of other patients.

A break is essential for YOUR wellbeing.

Spend time at home, Sophia. Look after the children.

We know you've struggled to stay on top of everything since the divorce.

SHE SCOFFS

I don't need time off.

It wasn't my fault.

The foetal heart rate wasn't being monitored properly,

the midwife didn't want my help,

and I was the one pushing for a Caesarean, not Arun.

HE SCOFFS

Everyone in theatre saw you attempt

multiple unsuccessful pulls on the baby

before Arun arrived and decided to do a Caesarean.

Take the time off. Let us complete our investigation.

Then we can decide what happens next.

Oh, and you were caught on CCTV stealing from the vending machine.

Make sure you drop by Estates on your way out

and pay for what you took.

DOOR CLOSES

JAMES: So, I've pulled the HR records

of the doctors who had complaints made against them.

It looks like the two anaesthetists regularly worked on the labour ward.

Hm. And both junior doctors did rotations in Obstetrics

shortly before they were reported to us.

And in this interview transcript, the anaesthetist claims

he was only reported because he raised concerns about Obstetrics.

It's the same for the Cardiology and GP trainees.

Oh, and look at this.

Both anaesthetists were reported to the MIU by patients

after they met with Trust representatives.

You think the Trust pushed those patients to make a complaint?

It's possible.

Right. Contact those doctors, see if any of them'll speak to you.

I doubt they'll agree.

We're probably their least favourite organisation.

Use that charm of yours.

Was there something else?

So, I've decided to meet Liam's parents.

What?

Why on earth would you do that to yourself?

I think it's the right thing to do.

It's been, what, four years?

They've been through all the formal channels.

It hasn't satisfied them.

Whatever they want, you can't give it to them.

It's just gonna re-traumatise you all.

They asked, and...

..I think I owe it to them.

It's the least I can do.

You don't owe them this.

Look, I'm trying to protect you, George.

Do not do it.

Er, you said you're investigating a doctor I work with.

Is that at the hospital or the university?

I'm Rubi's mum.

Er, she's a good student.

And... I'm sorry to hear she's leaving the course.

I saw you leaving my house.

Er, it's... it's... it's not what you think.

I know that you've been sleeping with my daughter

and that's why she's decided to quit her medical degree.

Rubi is an exceptionally bright child.

She's not a child. She's my child.

And I want you to leave her alone,

which means you give up your lectureship

so Rubi can return to uni.

You can't be serious.

OK, OK, OK, so, we had a relationship,

but she pursued me,

I had nothing to do with her decision to leave.

Norma, look, look, I can see that you're upset...

It's Dr Callahan.

And I am not upset.

I am simply explaining to YOU what's gonna happen.

E-Even if I was to leave my job, which I'm not gonna do,

Rubi wouldn't return to uni.

If you know anything about her,

it's that she only did medicine to please you.

Don't you dare insinuate you know my daughter better than I do!

I didn't mean it like that.

If you don't resign...

I'm gonna tell everyone you work with

how you take advantage of your students.

I'll make sure you're struck off...

..and never work again.

I'll get straight to it.

It's looking increasingly likely that in spite of our best efforts,

the psychiatry unit will close.

That's... really awful. Is there nothing we can do?

I'm afraid not.

The Integrated Care Board have been clear -

Rosie Newman's death was the final straw. Yeah.

If we merge with Oakwell,

we'll be looking for a new director of psychiatry.

You'd make a good candidate.

SHE GASPS Wow. Er...

Sorry, I wasn't, er, expecting that.

The optics are great. You're young, female, ambitious.

Well, I mean, I...

You know, obviously, it's a big step up, but yeah, it's...

It's one I think I'm ready for.

There's just one thing that needs clearing up.

Where did you get this?

That's not really what's important.

We are two consenting adults.

This is not a relationship between equals.

Dr Ford is your trainee, and he's under investigation.

You gave evidence to the MIU on his behalf.

Did you lie to protect him?

Of course I didn't.

You're his clinical supervisor, Kate.

You approve his progression to the next stage of his career.

How can you possibly do that with any impartiality

if you're screwing him?

It's not like that.

Oh. It's a serious relationship?

Oh, come on, Eric.

If I was a male consultant involved with a female junior,

would you be asking me that?

I'm disappointed in you, Kate.

Misogyny in medicine may be rife,

but it absolutely does not apply here,

so don't try jumping on that bandwagon.

You've abused your position, plain and simple.

So, what? You're...

You're firing me?

Aislene saw you together.

I reported you. After her incident, I had no choice.

And you believed her? A seriously unwell patient?

Precious, obviously, you should have come to me first

instead of believing malicious rumours.

Your actions show a total ignorance of mental illness,

and quite frankly, I'm disappointed.

They're not rumours, Kate. Aislene has photos.

And if anyone should be disappointed,

it's all of us on Willow Ward

who work so hard to support you in a job that, quite frankly,

you're not very good at.

DOOR OPENS, CLOSES

This is about Maria Carter, isn't it?

On the 15th of July, you visited a nightclub

with one of our inpatients, Felicity Templeton.

You were in possession of ecstasy, which she ingested.

Shortly after, Ms Templeton became extremely unwell,

but instead of bringing her here, to the nearest A&E...

..you took her several miles away, to North Yorkshire Hospital,

where you lied to medical staff

and provided a false name, Toby Tait.

If the story ended there, it would be serious enough,

but it gets worse.

Ms Templeton is a vulnerable young woman with bipolar disorder.

The drugs precipitated a manic episode,

and she was transferred to Willow Ward...

..where, in order to prevent your role

in her admission being discovered,

you then arranged her transfer to another ward.

Aside from the fact that possession and supply of class A drugs

is a criminal offence...

I didn't supply any drugs.

..you seem to have forgotten the basic principle of medicine -

first, do no harm.

You put your career ahead of this young woman's health.

A decision that could have proved fatal.

Have you got anything to say in your defence?

No. I didn't think so.

None of... None of this would have happened if I...

if I wasn't under investigation. I beg your pardon?

You've picked apart all my work,

you made me justify every decision I've had to make.

You have no idea the pressure that I've been under.

And this all happened on a night out.

You are a doctor and representative of this profession,

whether on hospital premises or not!

Do you know what's most disappointing?

We were this close to concluding that you were fit to practise.

What?

S-So you know about the referral,

so you know what they've done to Maria Carter?

We're... We're far beyond that now, Dr Ford.

Your behaviour is something this trust cannot condone.

And as such, you're suspended with immediate effect.

But the problem is with Obstetrics, right, it's not just Rosie.

Take Toni Campbell-Brown, because Obstetrics

blamed her but used forceps during her traumatic birth,

and they fractured her baby's skull, do you know about that?

I've had enough of this.

Please escort Dr Ford off the premises?

It's fine.

DOOR CLOSES

I'm really glad we're all on the same page now.

It's all a bit convenient, isn't it? What do you mean?

Maria being suspended, now Ford.

He made a series of mistakes

that put another young woman's life in danger.

He made a mistake because he felt under pressure.

By vilifying him instead of looking at the bigger picture,

who are we actually protecting?

The Felicity Templetons of this world? Yes.

But the Trust could be using this as a way to shift our focus.

We shouldn't let this distract us

from the wider issues that are going on in Obstetrics.

What did he mean about them fracturing Toni's baby's skull?

We need look into that. PHONE CHIMES

Obstetrics still have questions to answer.

One of the doctors agreed to meet us.

Which one?

Dr Armitage, one of the anaesthetists.

Great. Set that up ASAP, and... let's just keep pushing the others.

Shit.

What did they give you?

Was it like a promotion? A pay rise, maybe?

Kate. Get off!

What was it worth? What was it worth to ruin my life?

The Trust have photos of us together.

I didn't have a choice. I could lose my job.

I covered for you, though, didn't I? What about me? What about us?

There is no "us". It was just sex, and I'm sorry it happened.

So go home, get some sleep... cos you look bloody awful.
