Original subtitles

[Gloria] Lights and power are not guaranteed,

so you work with what you've got and you'll survive.

- Do you mind? - [Gloria] Why is Friedman here?

- Where are you supposed to be? - Uh, Dr. Wall's post-ops.

[Gloria] And since when is he working at

what I clearly remember him referring to

as a beachside cadaver factory?

Since today.

[Gloria] I've been having sexual relations

with an intern.

I'm willing to face any consequence

that comes my way for what I've done.

I'm asking both of you, can you work together?

Yeah, of course we can.

Turns out screwing the boss still has its perks.

- [Distant siren] - [Percussive music]

- [Curtis] Morning, mate. - Hey. Hey.

How was the surf?

Ah, it was all right. Six out of ten.

It's good to get wet. One of those for me?

- Uh, no, not for you, sorry. - Oh.

- How's the ticker going? - Yep, it's all good.

- Hey, Ellie. - [Curtis] You get the defib?

- Uh, don't need it. - What are you talking about?

Jeez, Jimmy. You're a doctor.

Chill, all right? I'm on the meds.

Defib implant is in a few weeks.

[Curtis] Very good.

- Hello. - [Ellie] Hey.

[Jimmy] I bought you a KeepCup.

'Cause I know you don't like single-use plastics.

- Uh, that's true. I don't. - [Jimmy] Yeah.

Um, is that colour-coded?

Yeah, I figure we can get a couple more hours in

before the first test if we study from now until lunch.

Sounds like fun.

[Knocks on door]

[Gloria] Hey, have you got a minute?

- Sure. - [Gloria] Thanks.

- Can I... - [Anita] Mm.

Just so we avoid any appearance of a conflict of interest,

I was thinking that I should probably recuse myself

from assessing Dr. Seufale in the mid-terms.

What, you don't think I need to?

Oh, no. I...I do.

The Medical Board felt the same, actually, only more so.

Obviously you triggered an ethical review

when you disclosed you were having a sexual relationship

with an intern you were training.

[Gloria] Mm-hm.

The board has suspended your accreditation

as a training supervisor.

They're bringing an external in.

You won't be assessing any of them.

[Percussive music]

- [Heart monitor beeps] - [Thudding]

[Lisa] They're so good. I make them all the time for my kids.

- Do you guys all eat gluten? - [Yosef] ..renal function.

Wait, so "nephrotic" is...

No, no, no, wait. "Nephritic" is inflammation? Nephritic?

Yeah, nephritic is the one with the haematuria.

Okay, so they just changed one letter.

- Nephritic. Nephro... - [Ellie] Yeah, that's right.

- Just try and think of like... - [Jimmy] Anyone want a drink?

- No, I'm fine. - [Microwave beeps]

Try and think of it like a mnemonic.

So, nephrotic - nephro - frothy.

Nephritic - itic - inflammation.

- [Others laugh] - [Jimmy] I'm sorry.

I'm sorry. Come on, El.

All right, we'll be fine. Don't stress.

[Milk frother hisses]

Excuse me, are the crepes gluten-free?

[Server] Uh, don't think so. Sorry.

Stay away from the Danishes. They're 95% horse glue.

- [Chuckles] Geoffrey. - Dennis.

- What brings you up here? - Ah, VMO. For my sins.

Ah. They could use all the help they could get around here.

You'll find out where the bodies are buried in the Fuck-Up Ward?

They're actually quite a competent group this year.

Really?

Not what I've heard.

- What have you heard? - Oh, look. I...

I don't want to talk out of turn.

I mean, ask around. Nurses. HR maybe.

I'd just be more comfortable if you did your own investigation.

The friands are edible.

[Intriguing music]

[Dennis] So you might think

that this is just a box-check exercise,

a rubber stamp,

and for regular interns,

uh, yeah, it would be.

But with you guys, that is not the case.

A fail on a single one

of your mid-term assessment modules

means you fail to qualify as doctors.

Seven years of medical school,

they're just straight down the tube.

Yeah, Dennis, we've already been through all of this.

Sudden death, as it were.

That normally goes down a bit better around here. [Chuckles]

Um, okay.

So there are two oral tests,

then there is a practical module

where I will be observing you as you treat patients

and you're gonna be tested in teams

so we can assess your clinical communication

and coordination as well.

Uh, Jimmy "Seafail"?

- Seufale. - Yep.

You will be with Ellie O'Neill.

Here.

[Dennis] And Lisa "Jurassic".

- Ju... - Juracek.

You are going to be with Josh Wilson.

[Gloria] He's...

[Dennis] You're looking like you're not Josh Wilson?

No, Josh isn't here. He's suspended without pay.

That's not, uh, reflected in the... in the board records.

I don't know what you want me to say.

Does that mean he can still sit the assessment?

- [Gloria] No. - Technically, yes.

That's a no.

But we will just go with Lisa Juracek with...

Uh... Oh, right. Yosef Perera.

- That's you. Okay. - That's me.

You two together. Okay.

Let us start with you two.

- You guys can scram. - Yes, let's. [Clears throat]

They're not regulation.

[Dennis exhales]

- [Phones ring] - [Sighs]

Trish. Trish. Trish.

Um, I can't seem to find my 6am bloods on the system

and there's, like, no one here.

Tubes are stuffed. Possum nesting in there or something.

A what?

- A possum. - Jesus. Um...

Well, that's gonna completely mess up my morning list.

Talk to Pathology.

Uh, well, yeah, I...I would, but there's nobody here.

What is going on in this place?

32-year-old woman, 28 weeks pregnant.

Presents to Emergency with sudden onset severe headache,

blurred vision, epigastric pain.

Blood pressure, 170 over 110.

Severe pre-eclampsia.

Uh, got to get her BP down

and prepare for a potential, uh, emergency delivery.

[Scoffs] No, we need to follow guidelines

for hypertensive disorders in pregnancy.

First, establish exact onset times,

check previous BP readings...

We don't have time for history, all right?

IV access. Magnesium sulfate for seizure risk.

We cannot just start magnesium

without first checking contraindications.

- Renal function, reflexes... - Can be done simultaneously.

Okay, the priority is to prevent an eclamptic fit.

Yeah, and what if she has, you know, myasthenia gravis?

Oh, what if she has a stroke

because you're too busy checking every box on your list?

People die when doctors think they know better

than evidence-based rules.

People die when doctors are too paralysed by rules to act.

That's what got you sent here, right?

What?

You didn't follow proper treatment protocols?

I saved someone's life, actually.

I performed pericardiocentesis on a patient who would have died

if it wasn't for my help.

You might have heard of the case.

[Dennis] I'm aware of the case.

Didn't know it was you.

You know it?

It was reckless and an insane overreach for a JMO.

It is a complete miracle that your patient survived.

Still saved their life.

[Jimmy exhales]

Man, I know clinical pathologists

who are more fun than that guy.

[Ellie] Jimmy.

[Jimmy] What?

Why aren't you taking this seriously?

We'll pass. It's not a big deal.

This is the biggest deal.

- This is our last chance. - Mm-hm.

You don't think about consequences.

Not true. I just...

I just take a much more philosophical approach.

Just not uptight, Ellie, that's all.

Right.

Well, I am uptight.

That's who I am.

- Mm-hm. - I'm here to be a doctor, Jimmy.

- So am I. - Not to muck around.

I think this was a mistake.

What are you saying?

[Sober music]

Maybe...

Maybe we're a mistake.

- [Electricity fizzles] - [Medical staff exclaim]

[Staff member] Why?!

[Gloria] All right, everyone. Let's hold.

- [Switch thuds] - [Instrument clatters]

[Gloria] Oh, God, sorry.

- That was the last Harrison. - [Gloria] Hmm?

Yeah, in the whole hospital? Can you please go and get one?

Uh, that... that was it.

Ali, how can you let this happen?

I was told we'd maxxed out on our budget for the quarter.

[Gloria] For fuck's sake! For fuck...

How am I supposed to do my fucking job

if I can't even get the tools I need?

[Ali] I've got a mosquito or a Sawtell?

[Gloria] Well, neither, really.

Okay, come on. We've not got the time for this.

I don't know what I'm supposed to do about that.

Anyway, talk to you later.

- Oh, this fucking place. - [Curtis] What's it done now?

It's just the bureaucracy is killing me.

The response to my application

to extend the JMO program, um, is three months overdue.

The hospital budget can barely stretch to,

like, more than basic tools

and my pre-op bloods

are coagulating in the chutes

because of a... possum or some shit.

And then halfway through training them,

I'm not even allowed to assess my own trainees.

[Curtis] You know what? It's gonna be okay.

I'm sure they're gonna renew your program.

You've worked so long and... and so hard for it

and you've prevented so many doctors

from dropping out of the system.

- It's gonna be okay. - [Sniffles] Yeah. And Josh?

- I'm sure you had your reasons. - [Gloria sighs]

Thank you.

I honestly don't know what I'd do without you.

It's gonna be all right. It's gonna be all right.

Hello... Trish.

I'm the board assessor on the provisional JMOs program.

What are your thoughts on this group of interns?

Keep walking, Dennis. I don't snitch to the board.

[Dennis] Um...

[Nicola] Mm, it's buggered. A possum got into it.

- Oh. - [Nicola] Yeah.

So I haven't seen you since the party.

Yeah, we've had the mid-terms, so it's been stressy.

Mm, yeah, Dr. Juracek.

[Chuckles]

- I guess I was wondering. - Mm?

Why'd Josh say that you wanted to kiss me?

I don't know. Josh says all kinds of silly things.

- So you don't? - What?

Wanna kiss me?

Well, I didn't say that.

Oh! Oh, my God. Like, love this.

Love you two. Love, love.

But after work, please.

[Playful percussive music]

[Dennis] And these

all involve F Ward staff?

Oh, we don't use that term. It's quite derogatory.

- And so we... - They seem to like it.

Explain to me how all this works.

So when a complaint or incident is lodged,

it automatically generates a new incident ticket here.

We then meet with the staff members or members involved,

decide on an appropriate course of action,

and then my office reviews it.

And then what happens?

Well, each report is flagged for Anita's approval.

She has to press a button,

which authorises it to publish from the local Pending column

across to the statewide system.

[Dennis] And so...

Oh, she hasn't pushed the button.

[Softly] Right.

[Gloria] Dennis. How did they go?

[Dennis] Uh, you should know,

I have found a series of disturbing breaches

in the HR records,

which Anita then never actually submitted.

Oh. Doesn't sound right.

[Dennis] Uh, let's see.

Uh, a privacy invasion.

JMOs sharing a photograph of a patient's genitals.

Uh, illegal drug taking.

Participation in a sexual relationship at the workplace.

Not you. Another one.

And I have quite serious questions

around why the GM didn't share those reports with the board.

Okay, well, granted, we're not perfect,

but here in the real world, in a training hospital,

it is not uncommon to have basically a string...

[Dennis] Of breaches?

No, of innocent mistakes.

And that should not disqualify them

or have any effect on their assessment whatsoever.

That's not really fair.

Except, uh, for the fact that as their accredited assessor,

I have full discretion to take into account their broad conduct

and to fail them

on their suitability to be a medical practitioner.

[Grim music]

[Waves crash]

[Screams]

Arghh!

[Exhales]

[Jimmy] That bad, huh?

[Pops open drink can]

Thanks.

[Jimmy sighs]

You know sometimes

when you just feel like the system's

working completely against you

and it's literally impossible to take care of people?

It's like that.

[Drink can opens]

You okay?

I don't wanna talk about it.

So what are you doing here?

Don't wanna talk about it either.

[Gloria] Oh.

You know, for what it's worth,

I totally stand by how I've treated you

and the other interns.

I do. I really believe in the F Ward.

You call it that too, huh?

I do. It makes the best doctors.

'Cause you make mistakes and that's humbling.

You know, contrary to what they teach you at med school...

[Sighs]

...you're not God

and you shouldn't be expected to act like it.

I've learned a lot from you.

We'll see.

It's been fun.

- Maybe in another lifetime, hm? - [Jimmy chuckles]

[Pensive music]

Well, look who it is.

- Oh, fuck off, Geoffrey. - [Chuckles]

No, no, that stunt you pulled getting Josh arrested.

I mean, what are you trying to do?

Are you trying to ruin your son's life?

Says the woman who threw him out of his internship, sorry?

No, I gave him a second chance and he fucked it up.

- That's on him. - Well, just so we're clear.

It's because of you he hates me.

- What? - Yeah.

No, your misgivings as a father, that's on... that's on you.

Don't even try with that one, Geoffrey.

[Geoffrey] I had a good chat with Dennis.

Huh?

I think he's getting a pretty clear picture

of your program.

- What are you talking about? - [Geoffrey] Mm-hm.

Seriously, you'd go after the interns?

It's nothing to do with them.

Oh, but they had their second chance

and they fucked up all on their own,

just like you did, Gloria.

[Indistinct P.A. announcement]

Oh, God. What the hell is going on today?

It's like feeding time at the zoo.

- Full moon. - That's an urban myth.

- Yeah, well, and yet... - [Mia groans]

- Jimmy. Jimmy. Come on. - Mm-hm. Yep.

- Coming. - [Mia] Come on.

[Phone rings]

- [Jimmy] Ahh, there she is. - [Mia] Again.

- Yep. Hello. - Oh, it's Boy Wonder.

So this time, Shirley is reporting

shortness of breath and chronic insomnia.

I see. All right. Let's have a look at you.

- How's home? - Habitually shit.

- [Jimmy] Nothing's changed. - I'll leave you guys to it.

Okay, who's next?

Okay, JMO meeting, all of you.

Sorry, what? No.

Um, yes. It'll take...

P.A.: ..incoming 18-year-old male with stab wounds...

I get it. It'll take two minutes.

Now. Please, all of you.

We'll be done by the time he's in theatre.

[Intriguing music]

[Jimmy] Yo. Right now, though?

[Gloria] Basically, they're setting you up to fail.

- [Jimmy] Who's "they"? - The system.

- And it is not a fair fight. - [Ellie] Why not?

Mm... [Scoffs] In short, the big boys' club strikes back.

- Was that a Star Wars reference? - [Gloria] No.

But if that makes it easier for you to comprehend, Yosef,

then you can go with that.

You're the Rebel Alliance team or whatever.

Anyway, seriously, you've got six hours to get out there

and show the assessor that you can do this.

- That's all we had before. - [Gloria] I know.

But this time it's terminal.

He has got a hold of all of the HR incident reports.

- All of them? - What? All of them?

[Gloria] Yeah. All of them.

Look, none of you are bad doctors.

You all just might be a little bit fucked in the head, but...

- [Others chuckle] - ...you've gotta back yourselves.

'Cause this really is your last shot.

Is this your idea of a pep talk?

Um, okay, let me be clear, Yosef.

I think you're all quite good enough

to go out there and become real doctors.

That's what I want you to do.

Get the fuck out there and show him that you can do it.

- Is that better? - [Knock at door]

No way!

Hello, bitches.

- What are you doing here? - The boss called me.

She gave me another shot, so...

[Clicks tongue] Phew!

Okay. Back to work.

- Oh! Fuck. - [Lisa giggles]

Come on, princess.

Hey, you're still here, huh?

Hey, hey. My man.

- [Patients whimper] - Just sit.

That's it. Okay. Okay.

[Male patient] Oh, no, no, no, no, no.

That's fine. I won't touch you. That's it.

- [Liam] All yours. - What?

You'll probably just give them a diazepam

and park them in the corridor.

[Patients whimper and moan]

[Lisa] Oh, let me guess - magic mushrooms?

Looks like a heroic dose.

A couple of squares of mushroom chocolate, apparently.

Uh, they're both tachycardic

but other observations seem within normal limits.

- A lot of crying. - [Female patient whimpers]

[Lisa] Hi, sweetheart. What's your name?

- Are you a princess? - [Chuckles]

Okay, come... come with me

and we'll find you somewhere nice and quiet.

[Whimpers]

That is so cool.

I actually wanted to be a chef.

Yeah. I would have been a doctor if I failed at cooking.

Right.

No, I'm kidding, Doc.

No, sorry, of course. That's funny.

Um, so how long have you had these symptoms for?

Um...

- Uh... excuse me. - I'm Yosef. I'm a doctor here.

He landed on a broken bottle in the sand dunes.

- Jeez, okay. I see. - Does he need surgery?

- Can I play soccer tomorrow? - Uh, well...

Are you right-footed or left-footed?

Um, either way, it's a no.

Where is my patient, the hypoxic asthmatic?

- [Man mumbles nearby] - Are you kidding me?

- [Man wheezes] - Marcus?

- Mia. - [Mia] Yeah?

- Can I get a wheelchair, please? - [Mia] Yes.

- [Jimmy] As fast as you can. - [Mia] Yep.

Marcus, we'll get you on some oxygen, all right?

If you could just stand up, we'll get you on a wheelchair.

- Thanks, buddy. Come on. - [Mia] Yep.

- Thank you. Take a seat. - [Marcus wheezes weakly]

- [Alarms blare] - [Jimmy] What is that?

- [Mia] Where are we heading to? - [Jimmy] Just bed 2.

- [Alarm continues blaring] - [Patients murmur]

[Josh] Everyone, calm down. Everyone, sit down.

It's probably just a drill. I'll be right back, okay?

[Josh] Mate, your alarm's going off.

Mate, turn your phone off, please.

[Curtis] Where's Omar?

[Liam] Suspected gas leak in the ED services annex.

Omar's there. Fire brigade's here.

Rightio. What have you got?

18-year-old male. Single knife wound to the chest.

Stabbed approximately 30 minutes ago.

In here, please.

Bleeding's controlled with an occlusive dressing.

Okay, can we get a call in

to Gloria, please, urgently?

[Staff member] She's prepping for surgery.

- You in charge, mate? - Talk to me, mate. Yep.

We need everyone out of the north building

till we test for gases and clear it.

- Really? - Afraid so.

- Rightio. - Righto.

Team.

Yeah, yeah. Sorry, I need Dr. Wall, please.

We'll transfer any stable, critical patients

to the South Building.

[Liam] Can we do any external transfers,

Northern Beaches, the Mater?

- We can give it a go. - What about the stabbing victim?

He's too unstable to transfer. My theatre's down.

I've cancelled all elective surgery.

You can use the ortho theatre in the South Building.

- Thanks. - [Curtis] What about the ICU?

[Anita] Offline till this is over.

[Curtis] Rightio, my JMOs. You heard all that.

We've got an evacuation and a shutdown.

I want you to take personal and practical care

with your acute patients.

I want you to get to them immediately

and I want you to make 'em calm

and I want you to get 'em outta here.

All of my nursing staff and my porters,

I want you to corral up all the walking wounded

and get them to the assembly area.

We need to maintain any IV inputs, any oxygen support,

any monitoring equipment.

That's gonna all get transferred to the assembly area.

Liam, he's our point person.

Any questions, you go straight to him.

All right? All hands on deck. Let's go.

[Energetic music]

- [Curtis] You too, champ. - [Mouths word]

[Energetic music continues]

Omar. How are we going with the tents?

We've only got about three tents.

- We've only got three? - Yeah.

Let's get them over here for the acutes.

- Trish. - Yep?

Can we get monitors over to them?

- [Trish] Yep. You want IV pumps? - Yes, please.

- And the battery packs. - [Trish] Yep.

Excellent. Thank you, ma'am.

Stop. You have to turn around.

[Energetic music]

Rightio. Are we all good? Everyone out?

Yep. So this list is top priority.

This lot's gonna need treatment within the next couple of hours.

This lot, we're telling to go home and have a good lie-down.

- Rightio. Very good. - How long is this gonna take?

Well, the fireys are worried about this gas leak,

so we've gotta consider we're here for the rest of the night.

- [Liam] How fun! - Copy that.

- Happy days. - [Liam] Great.

[P.A.] This is an emergency notification.

A gas leak has been detected in the building.

- Evacuate immediately using... - Hello?

- Hello? Anyone here? - Do not use elevators.

[Josh] Hello? Anyone here? [Knocks]

- [Alarms blare] - Hello... Sir?

Do you hear the alarms? What's your name?

- Terry. - Terry, okay. Come on. Let's go.

[Energetic music]

[Firefighters converse indistinctly]

[Terry whimpers and gasps]

Whoa, whoa, where's the pain? Terry?

Stomach and back. [Groans]

Hey, hey. I need oxygen and monitoring now.

Theo, wheelchair. Curtis.

[Terry gasps]

Okay, pulse is thready.

What's his story?

Reported lower-back pain. Now sudden severe abdo pain.

Blood pressure in his boots

and a pulsatile abdominal mass.

- Might be... triple A, yeah. - Triple A.

All right, let's find this gentleman a bed.

Let's get some lines into him and hang fluids.

Haemoglobin, group and hold.

Get a CT scan as soon as possible

and give Gloria the heads-up.

Well, no, she's with that stabbing victim.

Yeah, we're very busy.

Hey, can you guys stay nice and close, please?

Guys, can you please stay...

- Oh, my God, that's bad. - I need you to come back over...

Oh, that's bad. That's freaking me out.

[Mother] Can you get away from my kid, please?

- Yes, please do. - Come over this way, please.

- I need you to stay with me. - Ohhh. Why would you do that?

[Mother] Do you want some water?

[Lisa] I'm gonna show you guys something, okay?

- Come on, come with me. - [Indistinct radio chatter]

Is that your girlfriend?

[Scoffs] No.

Why, did it look like that or...

Anyway, look, I think you're gonna need stitches, Jordy.

No. No. Please, no.

[Mother] He's really scared of stitches.

Uh, well, I'll tell you a secret.

I'm pretty scared of stitches as well.

- But you're a doctor. - I know.

People keep making fun of me for it.

I'm not surprised.

All right, mate. Settle down.

Look, I'm gonna give you something

that you won't feel a thing, okay?

All right, we can do this, yeah?

[Ellie] Yeah, I once had a patient

who had a baby cockroach stuck in her ear.

Oh, that's so gross.

What's the grossest thing you've seen in a kitchen?

- [Maria] Definitely customers. - [Laughs]

Rotting squid after a power cut.

That was s... [Groans]

[Moans quietly]

[Ellie] Maria?

[Heart monitor beeps]

Maria, are you okay?

I just feel dizzy.

- Mia. - [Mia] Yeah.

Uh, she's tachycardic and hypertensive.

Okay.

Yeah, she's hot.

- Is everything okay? - Can we get Curtis?

Uh, Josh has called a triple A. He's over there.

- [Softly] Shit. - What's wrong?

Uh, temp's 38.6, heart rate is 140,

BP is 78 over 50.

She came in with flu-like illness and malaise.

Sepsis? Fluid resus, antibiotics.

- Might need pressors. - Mm.

But we don't have a definitive source.

What about sepsis mimics?

Autoimmune flare? Drug reaction.

She might not have time to do any of those tests.

Okay, I'll get a cannula in.

We need to do blood cultures from two sites

and we need to see what her lactate is.

Can we do any of that from out here?

Pathology's in the South Building. That's still online.

[Jimmy] Can't access ICU yet.

Okay, so let's cast a wide net.

Get her on broad-spectrum antibiotics now.

Yeah, that should cover whatever this is until we...

Until we can do some tests.

Yep. Perfect.

Mia, can you please run a litre of saline wide open

and get some gentamicin, vanc and ceftriaxone.

[Mia] Yep.

[Packages rustle]

There's no gentamicin or vanc out here.

- Shit. We can't go back in. - I'll get the meds. Hold this.

So who's your favourite football player?

- Lamine Yamal for life. - For life, huh?

- Mm-hm. - What about Doué?

- Ugh, he's okay. - [Chuckles]

You're done, mate.

- Good work. - You too.

Thanks.

[Alarm blares]

Hey, mate. I need to get inside. Please.

It's a major gas leak, mate.

There's toxic gas. No-one gets in till we've cleared it.

The meds our patient needs are inside, okay?

If we don't get her onto them, her organs could fail.

You'll have to wait. It's OH&S.

She could die! Come on, you guys are in there.

Yeah, with breathing apparatus.

Can't you talk to a supervisor or something?

Who do you think gave the order, mate?

- Let me go inside real quick. - No, no, no. Turn around.

Turn around. Just walk away. I'm sorry. I can't help you.

It's just too dangerous, mate.

- [Ellie] It's okay, Maria. - [Mia] Hang in there, Maria.

You're all right.

[Indistinct radio chatter]

Safety gear.

- Yeah. Uh, it's a nice try. - Breathing apparatus.

- But I can't let you in. - I need the meds, bro.

It's too dangerous. Turn around. I gotta take this off you.

What are you doing? Just hold still.

[Firefighter] Argh. Argh!

Don't let him in there! Tackle him.

[Firefighter 2] Oh, fuck that!

- You should have tackled him. - Did you see him?

- [Josh] Dr. Wall. - [Gloria] Yep.

Bedside ultrasound showed

a dilated abdominal aorta and some free fluid.

I paged the vascular team.

Okay, well, you can't proceed to theatre on that.

- He'll need a CT. - [Josh] I know.

- He's in imaging now, yep. - Okay.

Well, he can go to theatre once you get the CT confirmation.

[Josh] Can I...can I assist?

With the triple A?

[Gloria] Oh, my God.

Right. I'm on scrubbing.

[Sighs] Right.

Josh.

Why do you want to be a doctor?

Uh, complete absence of other options, mostly.

Okay, you're wasting my time.

No, sorry. Pissing you off is a reflex. Look, uh...

When I was a kid, my dad always said that being a doctor

was about reducing people's suffering

and giving people hope.

I know that he doesn't live up to it, but I...

...I really want to.

I want this.

All right.

Okay.

Come on. Scrub up.

Okay.

- [Jimmy] Sorry, everyone. - Give it to me.

Yeah, yeah. Yeah, I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

Get off.

[Firefighter] You took a big risk, mate.

You saved someone's life today, okay?

So you should be proud of yourself.

- You're an idiot, mate. - BP isn't responding to fluids.

We'll need to start pressors

and we might need to get her into the ICU.

You bought us time, Jimmy, but she needs an arterial line.

Incident's controlled. Gas cleared.

- Well done, mate. Good to go? - Yeah, all good.

Thank you very much. We're all clear, everyone.

We're good to go back in.

- [Crowd cheers] - Thank you very much.

Thank you very much, everyone. Criticals first, please.

- Yep. - [Curtis] Nice and gentle.

- [Jimmy] You got the bed? - These guys here.

I'll chat to Liam. Come back to you.

[Uplifting music]

[Nicola] There you are.

- Hi. - Hey.

I thought this was probably the best place for them.

Yeah. I suppose the waves are soothing.

[Lisa laughs]

They're all heading back in.

Okay.

Do you want to grab a beer after?

Yes, I would love to,

but I'm flying back to Brisbane tonight

to see Dylan and the kids.

Ah! That's cool.

Yeah. Oh. Nice.

Um, next time.

[Woman exclaims]

Gary's locked in the bathroom.

Please tell me that that's not a child.

- It's our whippet. - So we gotta go.

- We gotta sign something? - No, please, just go.

- [Woman] Okay. - Please.

[Sighs]

[Vehicle door closes]

- [Woman] Is that an old lady? - [Man] Is someone up there?

[Jimmy] Oh, what the fuck?

Go. Go, go, go. I'll grab a porter to help me.

- Bob. - All right, thank you. Sorry.

- [Breathes heavily] - [Ominous music]

Argh! Oh.

[Music echoes and fades]

[Door opens and closes]

[Seabirds caw]

Hey, Shirley.

Oh.

Don't worry. I'm not gonna kill myself.

[Tuts and sighs]

Not here, anyway.

Can you step back, please? Further away from the edge?

Thank you.

[Shirley sighs]

I just love it here.

I feel more hopeful about the world.

Looking at the ocean. It's a miracle.

[Jimmy] Okay, now you're making me nervous.

[Huffs] I'm fine. Really. Don't worry.

[Jimmy] Okay.

Thank you.

What for?

Taking care of people.

- That's a life worth living. - [Door opens]

[Theo] Jimmy.

- You all good? - Yeah. Yeah.

Can you help Shirley down, please?

- Shirley, this is Theo. - Oh... oh!

- He's gonna help you down. - Hey, Shirley.

- Oh, okay. - [Theo] Come on, Shirley.

[Breathlessly] Thanks, Shirley.

[Sighs]

- [Door opens] - [Jimmy] Ooh!

- [Door closes] - [Jimmy sighs]

[Breathes heavily]

[Mutters]

[Sober music]

[Ellie] See ya.

I heard your boyfriend tackled a firey.

He didn't! And we're...

We're not... It's...

It's not gonna work out.

What? No.

I just can't think straight around him

and... being too emotional

is what got me in here in the first place.

I need to stay focused on getting through and qualifying.

- [Lisa] Oh, honey. - What?

Being too emotional is not what got you in here.

Black-and-white thinking's what got you in here.

What do you mean?

"If I'm not perfect, I'm a failure."

Does that sound familiar?

Where is Jimmy?

Uh...

I don't know.

- All right. See ya. - Bye.

[P.A.] Dr. Mendoza, can you go to Radiology

for a contrast, please?

[Door keypad beeps]

[Indistinct P.A. announcement]

- Have you seen Jimmy? - No. Bye.

Oh. Uh... Have you guys seen Jimmy?

[Mia] No. Curtain.

[Yosef] Curtain, please, Ellie!

Have you seen Jimmy?

Um... I just saw him on the roof before.

- [Door slams] - [Ellie] Jimmy?

- [Jimmy moans] - Shit! Jimmy!

Are you okay? What's wrong? What's wrong? What's going on?

- I'm just resting. - No. What the fuck is this?

- Oh, sorry. - I just hit my head on the wall.

Jesus, Jimmy. Are you concussed?

Oh.

Yes, you are.

- It's okay. It's okay. - [Jimmy moans]

- I'm so sorry. - No, you're all right.

This is just... [Retches]

- [Jimmy groans] - Are you done?

[Moans] Yeah.

[Ellie] Yeah? Can you stand up?

- Uh... Yeah. - [Ellie] Yeah? Come on.

- [Jimmy] Of course. - [Ellie] It's all right.

- Just mind the... vomit. Okay. - That's disgusting.

- [Jimmy sighs] - All right.

[Ellie] What day is it?

Saturday.

I'm joking. Friday?

I'm fine, Ellie. Seriously.

Oh, excuse me.

Can I please get some fluids

and antiemetics going for Dr. Seufale?

[Sally] Ah, yes. Sure.

Oh, um, ondans, 4mg?

Um... Uh, yeah. Yeah.

- [Sally] Will you chart it? - Yep.

Let go.

I am going to call Radiology.

I will be back.

[Speaks inaudibly]

- [Drip stand clatters] - [Indistinct announcement]

First day?

[Sally] First week.

It gets easier. Sort of.

Cheers.

- [Groans softly] - [Ellie] All right.

I caught the tech just before he left, but we have to go now.

Nope. Not getting in that.

You know the rules - concussion patients

don't walk to their own scans.

Let's go.

I'm not going on that.

Get on it, tough guy. Come on.

[Sighs]

[Groans]

[Sighs]

[Equipment drones]

[Tech] Up again.

[Equipment clicks and whirrs]

[Tech] Look up. Arms by your side and keep still.

All good?

[Voice echoes] Okay. Let's go.

- [Equipment clicks and whirrs] - [Heartbeat thuds]

[Ellie] Okay, I'll send it over now.

Bye.

[Sally] Uh, hey, sorry, Ellie.

You've charted cyclizine, not ondans, for Dr. Seufale.

- Could you change your order? - No.

Uh, it was always cyclizine.

Uh, you said ondans.

[Ellie] I'm sure I didn't. Um...

Did I?

What did you give him?

- Ondansetron. 4mg. - Not cyclizine?

- Is something wrong? - [Breathes shakily]

He has long QT. He can't have ondansetron.

[Intense music]

[Equipment clicks and whirrs]

[Gags]

[Wheezes faintly]

[Tech] Jimmy, just stay still, mate.

Jimmy?!

- [Jimmy gasps] - [Tech] Hey!

- Hey, mate, are you okay? - [Equipment clicks and whirrs]

Hey? Hey? Jimmy, are you all right?

Hit the Emergency button. Get the crash cart.

- [Woman] Yep. I'll go call 'em. - Jimmy, hey? Can you hear me?

- Jimmy? Can you hear me? - [Alarm beeps]

[Intense music continues]

[Ellie pants]

[Gloria] And clamp is on. Start timer, Kush.

[Kush] Yeah, starting.

[Pager beeps]

[Kush] Resus team need me.

Uh, I gotta go. Lily, can you watch the CO2, please?

Gloria, I'll bring in a duty anaesthetist, all right?

[Gloria] Uh, yeah, can I have another clamp? What the fuck?

What's he doing... Great timing, Kush!

- [Curtis] Hey. Jesus. - [Equipment beeps]

He... he has long QT. I gave him ondansetron for nausea.

Okay, we need access to his airway. Pull him down, please.

- One, two, three. There we go. - [All groan]

[Kush] Okay, headrest, please. Thank you.

Okay. Can we prep the defib, please?

[Kush] Okay.

Okay, he's having torsades.

- We need to stabilise. - [Kush] Thank you.

[Kush] Okay. Here we go.

- Yep. - There you go.

I'm coming around you.

[Technician speaks quietly] Five, six, seven...

- Louder. Louder. - Eight, nine...

Ellie, adrenaline, please.

- [Tech] Eleven, 12, 13... - [Kush] Good. Keep going.

- [Kush] Pads on. - [Tech] ..sixteen, 17...

Okay, stop, stop. Squeeze.

[Curtis] How are those pads going?

- Pads all done. - [Curtis] Okay.

- Putting it in now. - [Tech] One, two, three...

- Okay. Okay. You set? - ...six, seven, eight...

- [Nurse] All set. - ...nine, 10, 11, 12...

Okay, let's start coach, please.

...fifteen, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20...

- [Tech's voice fades] - [Music intensifies]

[Curtis] Hang on, hang on, hang on, hang on.

- Okay, wait, wait. - Okay, just calm down, mate.

[Kush] Stay down, stay down, stay down, stay down.

[Tech] All good, Jimmy.

He's back in sinus.

He could revert back to torsades.

Let's get a trolley in here and get him to CCU.

[Kush] Okay, yep. Okay, let's just relax, mate.

[Curtis] You're okay, mate. You're all right.

- Hello, sleepyhead. - [Kush] Take a deep breath.

- All good, brother. - [Curtis] Get that trolley here.

[Kush] You're all good, mate.

[Gloria] All right. Thank you.

- Jet, Ali, good day. - [Staff] Thank you, Dr. Wall.

[Water runs]

So...

...I'm back?

- Right? - Maybe.

[Dennis] Could I have a moment, Gloria?

Oh, God, it's just the person

I wanna see at the end of a shitty day, Dennis.

Your interns really did pull it together today

but you should know they're not all gonna make it.

All right, who's not gonna make it?

- Jimmy Seufale. - [Sighs]

Failed to convince me

that he's committed to clinical protocols.

And there's a pattern of behaviour

I just know is ongoing.

But I want you to know that I think it's a shame

that you won't keep running the program.

- You did such good... - [Gloria] Sorry. What?

You, uh... You don't know?

Educate me.

I was told that Curtis Parker was taking over.

Curtis is taking over my program?

- Oh, my God. - Gloria.

- What? - [Kush] Gloria?

- [Forcefully] Yes? - You should come now.

It's Jimmy.
