Original subtitles

TERRI: Look, Margaret - I don't want to argue again about this.

Oh!

I don't have time for this, I'm late for work.

Just promise you'll come.

I've already bought the ticket.

It's on the other side of town,

it's peak hour traffic and I don't know if I'd make it.

You'd could leave early.

Depends on how busy I am at work.

It's your niece's first dance solo!

It's your niece's first dance solo! John's taping it - I'll watch the video with Cassie.

John's taping it - I'll watch the video with Cassie.

John's taping it - I'll watch the video with Cassie. Oh, that's lovely.

Oh, that's lovely.

I would have appreciated more notice.

You haven't returned my calls -

that's why I came over here!

Well, I'm sorry about that.

Work's been very hectic and, uh... I've got a new CEO...

You spend too much time at work.

Well, that's what I do.

Well, it's not healthy.

Okay, look, I'll try and drop in on you guys and see her this weekend.

You've said that for three months.

Terri, you haven't had John and I over since Mitch died.

He thinks you don't like him.

(sighs) Okay, I'll have you over.

Yeah, when?

Soon. Okay?

Look, Margaret...

..I'm very late for work.

I would really appreciate it if you could go now.

And I'll ring you later, okay?

PHONE RINGS

MACHINE BEEPS

TERRI ON MACHINE: Hi, you've called Terri.

I can't take your call right now,

but please leave a message after the beep.

DRAMATIC MUSIC

REG: Hi, Terri, it's Regina.

Just wondering if you're running late.

DRAMATIC THEME MUSIC

Just check to see if all your valuables are there, Mrs Heinrich,

and then sign it for me, please.

When are we sailing again?

That's something the nice people at the nursing home will tell you.

Good morning, Captain.

Good morning, Mrs Heinrich.

You're leaving us today?

If I can find my land legs.

Yes, you've been with us for 86 days.

STERLO AND PAULA: 87.

No-one's counting.

Well, you know, we're going to miss you.

I think you should know, Captain,

your ship has lice.

Do you mind if I have a look at that?

I didn't want to have to tell you,

but a good reputation's a fragile thing.

Uh, she's developed a small ulcer and cellulitis.

I think we might take a swab of that

and put you on IV antibiotics for 24 hours before we send you home.

The nursing home can give oral antibiotics.

I'd rather she stay here, Paula.

We can mark the cellulitis

and keep the infection under control.

You don't mind staying a bit longer, do you Mrs H?

As your guest, Captain?

Uh, as my patient - I'm Dr Hughes.

We've already given away her bed.

There's an empty bed in room one.

Okay, that's settled then. Thanks. How wonderful.

Are they still playing shuffleboard on the upper deck?

Name your price.

Some things money can't buy, mate.

We've had her three months -

you haven't done your fair share.

(sighs)

Have you heard from Terri today? No.

She's late. Yes.

And she hasn't answered her phone.

DOOR KNOCK

TENSE MUSIC

VON: Terri.

You in there?

(softly) Hmm?

(knocks on door)

Terri?

Terri?

(grunts)

God.

(softly grunts)

Okay, okay.

You right?

(groggy) I slipped.

Yes, alright.

Uh-uh! Don't you move. Nah uh-uh.

You stay there, I'll get an ambulance.

You've got a small laceration to the back of your scalp.

It's about 1½ centimetres.

I don't think it needs a suture,

We can probably get away with glue.

So...how long do you think you were unconscious?

I don't know.

Okay, I'd like neuro obs every half hour for four hours.

Is that really necessary?

In a word, yes.

Oh, such a stupid thing to do.

Okay, Terri, let's have a look at those ribs.

I think I just bruised them.

Well, you need an X-ray just to make sure there's no fractures.

(winces in pain)

Most definitely some pain there.

So, I think I better have a listen to you, okay?

Now, big, deep breath for me.

(inhales)

(exhales)

And again?

(exhales)

Okay, er...

I'll get that ice pack for your head.

Comfy?

Yeah.

And that's all it was - she just slipped?

Yeah.

Just has a small scalp laceration, bruised ribs.

Vincent's going to do an X-ray, you know, check for fractures.

Hi. Can I help you?

I'm Ian Mullins.

Admissions sent me up.

Yes, Mr Mullins. Oh, you're early.

I just want to get this over with as quickly as possible.

Okay, there's a couple of blanks here.

Um, occupation?

I teach at TAFE. Right.

And next of kin?

I'm only in for one day, is it really necessary?

Regulations in case something happens - which it won't.

I better put down my brother.

Mmm. And his contact number, thanks.

Uh, Ian Mullins, your papillomavirus patient, has arrived

for removal of mutltiple lesions on his urethral meatus.

Who's his VMO?

Ah, Newell.

Great.

Don't start anything on my watch.

She'd be disappointed if I didn't.

Mr Mullins. Do you mind pulling your gown up for me, please.

How long have you had the papillomavirus?

Six years.

When was your last outbreak?

I had warts about two years ago,

but they cleared up after a couple of months.

Okay.

Pretty ugly sight, isn't it?

Alright, when did these new lesions appear?

About four months ago.

I thought they'd clear up like the last time.

But they just got bigger.

WOMAN: (South American accent) Ian.

Ian. Juanita?

(speaks Spanish)

(replies in Spanish)

I told you not to worry.

I'm only in here for the day.

I told you I'll see you at home tonight.

Juanita, this is Dr Beaumont.

Hello. Hello.

Ah, Ian, he will be alright?

Yes. Yes, of course.

See? Silly goose.

He will be better enough for our wedding?

I told you I'll see you at home tonight.

Uh, excuse us.

No.

He hasn't told his fiancee that he's got an STD?

You don't know that, Soph.

He gave his brother as next of kin.

Maybe because her English isn't very good.

If she contracts it and it goes untreated,

she could get cervical cancer.

BUZZER SOUNDS

Look, Soph, we don't know anything about these people.

Fifty bucks says I'm right.

You're on - it's your money.

And, I don't take cheques.

Oh, excuse me, is there a cafe, can you tell me?

Yeah, for coffee? Oh, si. Yes.

I'll show you. Thank you.

I'm Scott. This is Alex.

What's your name?

Kieran Hudson.

What happened?

Oh, I was heading for the butcher

when one of those stupid couriers on a bike

came and knocked me into the gutter.

What's the oxygen for?

Helps me breathe.

Yeah. What condition do you have?

My ankle hurts.

I heard it snap.

What's the oxygen for?

I think I broke it.

Did you go over on it?

Yeah, when I fell down.

Have you got pain anywhere else?

I don't need a physical.

It's just my ankle, focus on that.

Mate, you haven't told us what the oxygen's for.

It hurts. Throbbing.

We can't give you anything for the pain till you tell us what...

Take me to the hospital.

Mate, you're gonna have to tell the doctors at the hospital, so...

Why? It's got nothing to do with my... (gasps for air)

Blood pressure's low - 90 over 50.

Pulse - tachycardic, 120.

That's normal for me.

Now, are you going to take me to the hospital

or should I get a taxi?

This is Keiran Hudson - pedestrian involved in a low-speed MBA.

He's hypotensive, BP's 85 over 50 - it dropped slightly during transit.

He's tachycardic, 120 and irregular,

he's got a possible left fractured ankle.

He refused further examination.

It's his first bag of Hartmann's.

Didn't give any fluid loading due to respiratory status,

and he refused to tell us why he's on oxygen.

Okay. On my count - one, two,three.

Just X-ray my ankle and give me the crutches.

You've obviously had some experience in hospitals before,

so, I'll cut right to the chase.

You will let me do a full examination

and answer my questions.

Waste of time, it's just my ankle. Humour me.

Did you land on the left side?

Kind of. I fell in the gutter, hit myself on the kerb.

Okay.

There's some tenderness and guarding in the left flank.

Possible internal trauma.

BP's still only 90.

Okay.

We'll get an abdo CT, ankle X-ray, full blood work-up,

UECs and blood gasses to start with.

Tell me about your medical history.

Kieran, if you don't and if you've been treated in this hospital before,

I'll find out from Medical Records.

If not, I'll order every test until I can diagnose you myself.

Easy way, hard way.

Your choice.

Kieran.

This is Kieran's girlfriend, Sandy.

What happened?

What were you doing at the shops?

I was buying vegies for dinner.

I told you I'd get them.

Oh, I'm Luke Forlano.

Kieran's forgotten the name of his condition.

He has Eisenmenger's syndrome.

He's waiting for a heart-lung transplant.

This accident won't affect his place on the list, will it?

He has a possible abdominal injury, so...

..at this point I'd have to say yes.

Shit!

Look, we'll do an abdo CT.

As soon as it's cleared, you can go back on the list.

That's good.

Because the doctor said I'd be dead in three months

without a transplant.

Hey!

Have a hard night on the tiles?

Orange juice injury.

Nasty!

You okay?

Yeah, I...I slipped. It's really boring.

You want to help? Uh...no.

Bye. Yeah, bye.

So, any fractured ribs?

No. That's good.

But we did find something.

Terri, when I listened to your chest,

I heard an abnormal heart sound.

What?

Your chest X-ray shows an out-pouching

along the right border of the cardiac sillouhette.

OMINOUS CHORDS

Well, what's the... is that an atrial defect?

No, it could be any number of things.

Like what?

I mean...what is that?

Valvular incompetence or stenosis?

Hold on, hold on.

No, I didn't say that.

Well, you're not saying a lot, Vincent.

Look, I want to do a cardiac echo and get a cardiology consult.

Until that's done, you know as much as I do.

We'll get some answers, okay?

REG: Sterlo! Sterling!

Mrs Heinrich wants another cabin.

Mmm, well, after all, I am the captain's guest, you know.

Um...you need to stay in bed, Mrs H.

What's with the ship obsession, anyway?

Do you know what year it is?

Of course, it's-it's 1951.

And we're on the Groot de Beer.

Ian Mullins hasn't told Juanita about his genital warts

because they haven't had sex.

And you know this for a fact? Yes.

He's lying to her and he'll infect her as soon as they're married.

Maybe they're planning on having safe sex.

The bride's Catholic - no birth control.

Um...look, Soph, we shouldn't interfere.

Charlotte, keeping this a secret from Juanita is putting her at risk.

I'll talk to him.

This is Kieran Hudson, 25.

CT shows a minor laceration to the left kidney.

He has a malleoulus fracture for conservative management

and a history of Eisenmenger's syndrome.

Hi, Kieran, I'm Paula.

Room Two, thanks.

What's wrong with him?

He was born with a hole between the ventricles in his heart.

He's chronically short of oxygen. That's terrible.

If it's not repaired in childhood, it's usually fatal.

Oh! Poor thing.

Normally, I would operate on your kidney, oversew the laceration.

But because of your condition,

the best thing we can do is choose the conservative treatment.

Which is?

Bed rest, serial UAs and ultrasonographs

so that we can keep an eye out for any further bleeding.

Kidney will take a longer time to heal that way.

That's true, but your lungs most likely could not cope

with a general anaesthetic at this point, so we don't have much choice.

Which means a longer wait to get back on the list.

With an injured kidney, you're not considered a viable candidate

for a heart-lung transplant.

Kieran's on regular anti-coagulants.

We will cease those temporarily

until we're sure there's no further bleeding.

What about the risk of clots?

We'll look into getting calf compressors while he's in bed.

But it's not a problem in the short term.

It will take time for clotting to return to normal.

Sorry, babe, you're not going to lose me to a clot just yet.

Stop that.

Any further questions, don't hesitate to page me.

Leave it, Sandy.

I just want to make you comfortable.

That's Paula's job.

And anyway... Look,

I know how disappointing it is...

You don't know...

..anything.

Get out.

Leave me alone.

SAD MUSIC

I hate it when she fusses over me.

Well, maybe that's just her way of showing she loves you.

Do you fall in love with your patients after wiping their arse?

Cryotherapy is a simple procedure.

It may be a little uncomfortable.

Liquid nitrogen spray will be applied to the lesions.

This will remove the localised upper layers of skin.

It will destroy any infected cells,

but it won't remove the virus from your body, okay?

I know.

So that means you can still infect sexual partners

even if there are no lesions.

Is Juanita aware of that?

That's not actually any of your business.

Mr Mullins, if you're having trouble talking to her...

Mr Mullins, if you're having trouble talking to her... I don't want you to talk to Juanita

I don't want you to talk to Juanita about anything.

Mr Mullins, the infection can lead to cancerous cells in the cervix.

If you plan on having children, she needs to know about

having regular pap tests or Thin Prep pap tests.

Hello, Mr Mullins.

Dr Newell.

May we have a word?

Won't be a moment.

Is there a problem?

I'm concerned Mr Mullins' fiancee isn't aware of his condition.

Our primary concern is for the patient we have, doctor.

She has a right to know.

If she's infected...

Now, Mr Mullins, we can numb the area with anaesthetic gel

prior to commencement, if you prefer.

Yes, please.

Doctor?

Could you get the lignocaine?

VON: Hello.

Hi.

How's everything upstairs?

Surprisingly, the ward's fine.

Well, now that is very cute.

Hi, Jack.

I didn't know you were in Emergency today.

Actually, Dr Craig's just been assigned to my rotation.

Terri, could we see you in private?

Oh, I'd rather Von stayed.

If that's okay?

We have the results of your echocardiogram and your bloodwork.

The enlargement isn't due to an infection.

And there doesn't seem to be any valvular involvement.

ANXIOUS MUSIC

What did you find?

There's a mass in the right atrium of your heart.

Well, what is it?

The echo wasn't conclusive.

I'd like to do a CT scan.

Well, you must have some idea.

I'd rather wait... What do you think it is?

(sighs) If you're going to press me,

I'd say an atrial myxoma.

But they occur in the left atrium.

They can sometimes form in the right.

(sighs)

Um...

Is it malignant?

Let's wait for the CT scan before jumping to any conclusions.

Terri, we'd like to admit you to Ward 17 for some monitoring.

And she hasn't shown any symptoms?

Atrial tumours often don't till they're large

and obstruct blood flow through the valve.

Incidental finding.

She's lucky they found it that early.

Oh, man, they're gonna have to crack her chest for sure.

Listen to you! Goodness!

We've had enough sadness around here for a while, thanks!

Terri is going to be fine.

We just go on as normal, okay?

I will be nursing her myself, but um...

Hey.

Hey. Hi, Terri.

We'll be putting you in Room Two.

Paula, Mrs Finley's dressing?

And I'm sure there is something that you haven't done yet.

Oh, Vincent.

Um, Mrs Heinrich in one,

her cellulitis has extended past the Texta marks and she's febrile, 38.1.

Oh, I'll do those.

Right, is there anything I can get you?

No.

Alright. The orderly will be up soon to take you to the CT scanner.

And do you want me to call anyone?

Oh, no, I think I'll wait until my results come through.

Do you want this drawn?

Thanks.

You should go home.

I want to stay.

Don't you have to pack for the seminar?

I cancelled it.

You didn't have to do that.

I don't want to leave you until I know you're okay.

POIGNANT MUSIC

MACHINE BEEPS

I'd like to...apologise, Ian.

You're right, I don't know you and I don't know Juanita.

And I'm certainly not trying to put you in a difficult position.

Well.

Thank you.

It is difficult.

Are you afraid that she won't marry you

if she finds out about the wart virus?

Oh, I love her.

I love her much more than I could really say,

but she wouldn't understand.

She told one of our nurses that she wants to have children.

I'm not averse to the idea.

We'd have to be careful, though.

Choose a time when the virus isn't active.

See, that's the problem, you won't know when you're infectious.

It doesn't always manifest itself.

You know, Ian, she just really needs to know this stuff.

Look...

You just - you just have to trust me.

It's not about trust, it's a medical condition.

I wouldn't hurt her.

Maybe not intentionally,

but I think you're being very naive.

With all due respect,

I don't think it matters what you think.

Just butt out, doctor.

Busy day today.

Nelson?

MUSIC INTENSIFIES

MACHINE GRINDS SOFTLY

Hey, listen, do you want to do me a favour?

The, uh...the oxygen cylinders at home, they need to be refilled.

That can wait.

Well, I'd feel better if it was done now.

Won't be long.

Take your time.

(sighs)

Terri.

We've booked you in for surgery tomorrow.

Oh, that's uh - that's pretty quick.

The CT showed the tumour is positioned

close to the tricuspid valve.

To delay surgery isn't an option.

Waiting would risk obstruction to the blood flow within the heart.

There are risks associated with the surgery.

I'm aware of those.

Infection, bleeding, stroke, death.

I plan to avoid most of them.

The prognosis for atrial tumours is quite good.

What if it is malignant?

Deterioration is usually quite rapid.

I can stay and explain the procedure...

No, it's... It's okay.

Okay.

Right, you know the surgical prep.

We'll need swabs from your nose, axilla and groin.

If you bring the swabs, I'll do it.

Well, if there's anyone you want me to call - your mother, Margaret...

No. No, thanks.

MACHINE BEEPS

KIERAN: Funny how they always ask that.

What?

Calling the family.

Well, it helps some people, I suppose.

Yeah, the ones watching.

You're better off going through alone.

Then you don't have to see their pity...

..their fear.

Um, can I have everyone's attention, please?

Unfortunately, one of your patients, um, Mrs...

Heinrich. (clears throat) Teacher's pet.

Her wound swab has tested positive for acintobacter.

Oh! This is not happening.

These outbreaks are devastating

both for the patients' health, and for hospitals financially.

The patient will be isolated

and universal precautions effected immediately.

We'll need swabs to screen the other patients on the ward

for further infection or colonisation.

Infection Control are aware of the problem

and will be advised if there are any developments.

Thank you.

Julia, I'd appreciate it if you'd talk to me

before making announcements on the ward.

This is not a matter for politics, Nelson.

Yeah, I understand.

But with Terri on the ward, I don't want her worrying about it.

Oh, yeah. I understand your concern,

but I have to protect the hospital first.

MACHINES BEEP IN SYNCHOPATED TIME

Kieran, it's okay.

Alright, come on. Step aside for me.

There you go.

Kieran, concentrate on your breathing.

(breathes deeply) That's it, breathe up.

That's the way.

It's okay, Mr Forlano will be here soon.

Try and relax your breathing for me.

That's it.

Ah! Juanita.

Um, do you mind if we have a word for a moment?

Oh, okay.

Um, do you have a family doctor?

Oh, I am not ill.

I just think it's important, seeing as you're getting married,

that you find yourself a doctor.

Oh, for when I have childrens. Yeah.

Uh, Juanita, I would like for you to read these.

There is a Spanish translation on the back.

And then I'd like you to talk to Ian about them.

But this is private.

Women's matters.

I could not speak to Ian.

Well, then you need to ask him why he's been here today.

The kidney stones?

Juanita, will you promise me that you'll talk to Ian?

And then if you have any questions,

I'll be more than happy to answer them. Okay?

Can you do me a favour?

Can you ring Margaret for me?

Yep.

I think you owe Mr Mullins and his fiancee an apology, Dr Beaumont.

I'm sorry.

But you gave me the impression

that you were not going to be honest with Juanita.

Ian would not lie to me.

Did he explain to you what's in those pamphlets?

We have no secrets.

I can assure you I won't let this matter drop.

(snaps) Dr Beaumont.

You can't help yourself, can you?

Guess not. Can you? Excuse me?

Dr Newell, if anyone's to blame...

I brought this to Charlotte's attention.

Thank you, nurse.

You wait for me to trip up so you can jump all over me.

Juanita was not your patient!

You know as well as I do

that prevention is as important as treating disease.

I had an ethical obligation to warn that woman she's at risk.

This isn't the place for big-noting or flaunting rules.

Rules do not protect everybody. Oh, really?

Welcome to the real world, doctor.

Lucky they found it early.

It should help.

Mmm.

Thanks for coming in.

Look, I want to get my...

I want to get my life into some kind of order.

Terri, it'll be okay.

I don't know if it will, Margaret.

But I just want to be prepared, you know?

Will you help me?

Yep.

Okay, okay.

It's just silly everyday stuff.

Can you get me my bag? Just over there.

Okay, I need the real estate agent to know what's going on.

I've got some bills at home - just silly things.

Then there's my will.

It's, uh...in the top drawer of my desk at home - my house keys.

Yeah, that's fine, I can do all your bills for you,

do your messages for you, tick off all the boxes.

You know, it would've been nice to be asked to come in here as your sister,

not as some sort of personal assistant.

That's not true. Yes, it is.

You're the strong one, you never leaned on anyone.

Even now, you don't need me.

You're content being alone.

I've never said that!

(sighs) Look, I'll do your errands for you, but the rest is up to you.

Well, Alison is concerned

that a reprimand will be inadequate here.

Dr Newell and I have always had a difficult relationship.

This isn't personal, Dr Beaumont.

But you obviously have difficult relationships with other VMOs.

You lack professional discretion.

And you lack any discernible people skills, but no-one's after you.

Unfortunately, I have to agree with Alison in this instance.

You'll still be employed by All Saints,

but your position on the Physicians Training Program,

is hereby terminated.

EDGY MUSIC

I'm sorry.

What exactly does that mean?

It means that I still have a job, at least until my contract's up,

but, without a position on the Physicians Training Program,

I can't become a specialist.

Shit.

I'm so sorry.

I should have kept my big mouth shut.

You're supposed to let the doctor know

if you think there's a problem.

(scoffs) I can't believe Newell!

Well, you know, she's right.

Technically, I should have kept my big mouth shut.

(sighs)

So when's your contract up?

In three months.

Until then, it's all the nights and weekends

and crappy shifts no-one else will do to look forward to.

You know, there are other hospitals.

No, but no-one knows me so I'll just have to start at the bottom.

Well, what about another training program?

I mean, Emergency medicine or Anaesthetics or something?

I suppose that's an option.

I think you'd be good in Theatre.

I'm sure they could organise some low-cut scrubs for you to wear.

Oh, I'm so sorry.

MACHINE BEEPS

Everything alright?

Anything you need?

No.

Well, you're in the box seat with Craig.

You're first on the list...

(whispers) Don't, don't...

And you would like to talk to someone?

Yeah.

Righto.

(sighs)

Thanks.

Swabs from Room Five have also come back positive.

(sighs)

It'll have to be isolated

until we can clear the patients out and disinfect the room.

What, is this a way of closing down the ward bed by bed?

Come on, Nelson, what do you expect me to do?

Leave it and let the infection run rampant?

Is Terri aware of the ward situation?

I'm acting NUM. Terri's on sick leave.

I think she'd want to know.

I'll tell her when I think it's appropriate.

Terri doing okay?

Mm-hmm.

You can't tell her.

You know that.

I wasn't going to.

PRIEST: Lamb of God, you take away the sins of the world.

Grant us peace.

SPIRITUAL MUSIC

May this mingling of the body and blood of our Lord Jesus Christ

bring eternal life to us who receive it.

This is the lamb of God,

who takes away the sins of the world.

Happy are those who are called to His supper.

Lord, I am not worthy to receive You.

But only say the word and I shall be healed.

The body of Christ.

Amen.
