Previously on All Saints...

Home, shower, cheeky glass of red.

Dr Hughes,
we hardly know each other.

Believe me, it's better that way.

Dan, give it back!
Come and get it.

No, I mean it. I want it back!

What have we got here?
Oh, 'A Bodice Ripper'?

How hot are those books?

Like, do chicks, like,
totally get off on them?

Dan, go away.

Then why haven't you applied for
the position in the training program?

It's a big decision.

Four years on a training program.

Why put yourself through all that
pain if you're not sure?

Maybe you've got a point.

If push comes to shove,
I will stand right behind Charlotte

because she is a bloody good doctor
and a member of my team.

Charlotte is a cog in the wheel.

If push comes to shove,

I'll do whatever I need to for
the greater good of this hospital.

TERRI: How is Mrs Hunter going?

Not great. She's spiked a nasty PUO.

I've called her oncologist,
Dr Giorgio, to come and review her.

We need to find the source
of this infection.

She was a recent surgical inpatient,
wasn't she?

Yeah. She's had
a Whipple's duohepatic cancer.

But there were no
perioperative complications

and she was discharged
about a week ago.

Shall I page you
when Dr Giorgio gets here?

No.

Let the night staff know to inform
me of any change in her condition.

Okay.
I'll review her in the morning.

You've got a day off tomorrow.

Yes, but I'm bit worried about her.

And I don't have anything
better to do.

Really?

Charlotte?

I was surprised to see your name
on the application list

for the emergency training position.

Why would you be surprised?

I've been working in emergency
for ages

and I've completed
all the professional training.

I was wondering
if you're up to it, that's all,

after the disappointment
of the last training position.

Oh, you mean when you fired me?

I would hate if you were bitter
if you didn't get it, that's all.

Remember, there are other areas
to consider - Dermatology, ENT.

Good luck, though.

DAN: Even back in 1887,

they let nurses have two nights off
a week for courting purposes.

I have the proof right here.

Really?
Yes.

So why have you put me
on late shift every weekend

for the past two months?

It's just the way the rosters fell.

You're not going to get
special treatment, Dan.

Why not? I am special.

The answer's no.

What about that one, Jess, huh?
He's pretty cute.

Off you go then.

It wasn't for me. It was for you.

I've got to bail out. I'm sorry.
Not yet. It's too early.

I know. I haven't been well.
I've got to go.

One more hour.

I'm sorry. I've got to go.

You have a good night.

Oh, no.
What?

It's him.

The fantastic Vincent?
Don't look!

Well, he is tall, dark and handsome.
You going to go talk to him?

No, of course not!

He's all alone.
Might be looking for a good time.

He's not like that.

Well, he's not!

Rightio.

If you don't go ever there,
I'm going to.

No. Alright, just sit down, okay?
I'll go.

Just ask him if he's got a friend.

THEME MUSIC

JESSICA: I'm sorry
for the late notice, Nelson,

but I don't think I'm able
to come into work today.

I think I've got appendicitis.

No. My parents
have left for work and...

No, that's fine.

If you can give me Dan's number,

I might see if he can pick me up
on his way into work.

Oh, okay.
That would be great. Thanks.

NELSON: Jess isn't coming in.
She's sick. Can you let Terri know?

Sure. I hope it's nothing serious.

Appendicitis, she thinks.
Oh, no.

Morning.
Hi.

Oh, great. You picked today
of all days to turn up early.

I can go again, if that makes...
That won't be necessary.

Did Terri mention anything
about me being on triage today?

She's not in yet, but I'm on triage.

I'm getting rusty,
can I triage this shift?

Yeah, yeah, sure.
Thanks, mate.

(coughs and gags)

PHONE RINGS

Mrs Hunter's antibiotics
aren't even touching the sides.

Right. I'll just move her into Iso.

Yeah, good idea.

Problem?

I hope not.

Jess phoned in sick and now
she's not answering the phone.

Sick with what?

Appendicitis, apparently.

Do you want me to take a look at her?
I'm heading out now.

That would be great.
Okay.

Give me a yell if
pathology and swab results come in.

PHONE RINGS
Yep.

Beaumont, get your arse into gear.

Rescue chopper's just brought in
a hypothermic cardiac arrest.

From where?
Ski fields.

What's Telford doing here again?

He's boning up before his interview.

Alison's very taken with him.

Dr Campion, Ben Telford.
Good to see...

Move it, move it!

Donald McCarthy, 45 years old,
hypothermic cardiac arrest

following extended
cold water immersion.

Nil spontaneous respiration
or circulation.

Pupils fixed and unreactive.

Temperature?
Unobtainable.

CPR commenced on site
by his daughter, Phoebe,

who's right behind us.

Patient intubated, size 8ETT.

IV access?

Unable to establish one
due to vasoconstriction.

Phoebe, we're going to transfer
your dad to the bed.

Give Regina all your details,

then I'll take you to him
once he's assessed.

He'll be fine, Phoebe.

Come with me
and we'll get a nice hot drink.

IDC, NG, CVC, blood gas if possible.

Someone put the warm touch on him.

Good luck.

Tympanic thermometer won't work.

Try a rectal gauge.
I need a core temperature.

I'm getting a line.

Good work.

See if you can get full bloods.

Then we'll need on outline.

Set up for pleural
and gastric lavages.

You might think about telling his
daughter it's not looking good.

We don't know that yet.

Deep hypothermia increases the
brain's tolerance to ischemia,

slows the metabolic process
and reduces oxygen consumption.

We cannot determine any sort
of outcome until we warm him up.

You've been doing your homework.

You right here?
There's no-one in triage.

Yeah, go, go.

Stop CPR.

CONSTANT BEEP

Resume compressions.
He's been down a while.

Just keep going, Jack.

You wanted me?

I've ordered an agency nurse
to cover for Jess.

Oh, great.

What's the story
with the patient in Resus?

Stuck between rocks with frozen water
pouring over him for an unknown time?

Yeah, don't see hypothermic cardiac
arrest in Australia very often.

Yeah. Listen,
Dan's up for appraisal...

Okay. (Clears throat)

He's coming up for appraisal, okay?

What do you think of him?

Good nurse.

Well, his patient skills
packages came back.

He scraped through with passes
and he didn't even try.

Well, you know,
it wouldn't be a first time.

Doesn't he seem glib to you?

I mean, he doesn't take
anything seriously.

That's not true. I mean,
he takes his sex life very seriously.

That's terrific.

He's a good nurse, you know.
He's not lazy...

So you think I'm wrong?

What's that?

This is a list of nurses' duties
dating back to 1887

that Dan gave me.

"Number one - daily sweep
and mop the floors of your ward,

"dust the patient's furniture
and windowsills."

If I made him do that, he'd have
something to complain about.

Yes, he would.

See you.
Bye-bye.

Why do people come to ED
with coughs and colds?

They'd get seen by a GP
a thousand times faster.

Don't make assumptions
about symptoms, okay?

Just assess the patient,
take a full history...

Yeah, yeah, yeah.
It'll be fine.

I've worked in triage before.

What?
I'd lose the attitude if I was you.

It's not attitude.
It's good-natured optimism.

And I've done my triage package,
so everything's peachy.

We need attention to detail,

so call me if there's anything
you're unsure of.

I know what I'm doing.

Then we won't have any problems?
Mm-hm.

Nazi.

You got a problem with
being asked to do a job properly?

No. You're coming on a bit strong.
Of course I'll do my job properly.

Hi.

Hi.

One agency nurse at your service.

How old are you, Phoebe?

14.15 in February.

Please, I just need to know
if my dad's going to be okay.

I wish I could tell you,
but the truth is,

we have no idea
what the outcome will be.

But I did CPR. Didn't I do it right?

It's amazing you even know
how to do CPR,

and you did everything
you should have done.

Where's your mother, Phoebe?

She died when I was eight.

Is there an aunt or a grandparent
I can call?

I don't get what happened.

We were collecting snow plant life
for my school project.

We headed in different directions,

and when he didn't turn up
when he said he would...

..I found him.

Phoebe, I need you to understand

exactly what's happening
to your father.

We're trying to raise his temperature
and restore a heartbeat.

But there is a risk that
he may have sustained brain damage.

And a chance that we may not be able
to revive him at all.

(cries) Just save him, please.

Please, don't give up.
He's all I've got.

DOORBELL RINGS

It's about time you showed up, Dan.

Am I late?

Vincent, what are you doing here?

I'm making a house call. I heard
there was a damsel in distress.

Do you mind if I come in?

Nice slippers.
Oh, God!

So, what's going on?

Look, nothing.
I'm actually feeling heaps better.

You don't have to be here. I'm fine.

Nelson said
it might be appendicitis.

Oh!

I'm taking a look at you.
Where's your bedroom?

How long
have you been feeling unwell?

A couple of days.

Not as... Oh!

Not as bad as this, though.
It got worse through the night.

Do you have a thermometer here?

I'm febrile. I took it earlier.

Okay. Off to the hospital for you,
young lady.

Really?

Mm-hm, really.

Who are you calling?

Reg, it's Vincent.

Okay, then.

That was Vincent.
He's bringing Jessica in.

She has acute appendicitis.

What's Hughes doing at Jessica's
place? Or shouldn't I ask?

I asked him to check on her.

You shouldn't make
assumptions like that, Frank.

Frank.

Yeah.
What do you think?

About what?

About placing Don McCarthy on
percutaneous cardiopulmonary bypass?

You really want to mobilise
a bypass unit for this?

Yes, I do!

It's been done successfully
in the States and Canada

with good outcomes and little or no
neurological deficit.

I've never heard
of it being done here, ever.

It's not cold enough.

Tell that to Donald.
Better still, tell his daughter.

It costs a bloody fortune!
Why is that a factor?

It's always a factor!

If that was the kid in Resus,
not the father,

we wouldn't be having this
conversation, you know that.

Yes, we would, because, regardless of
the age, the prognosis would be poor.

Alright, alright!
Hurry up and give it a go.

But not in there.
I want Resus cleared.

Now you've got an interview
this afternoon. You got a time?

1:30.

Cardiac unit contact details.
Thanks.

Newell suggested that
maybe I should do dermatology.

(laughs) I hope you told her
to kiss your backside.

Hey, what have you got there?
What?

You can't write with two at once.
Why do you need two pens?

No wonder our bloody budget's
being blown!

When you want a new pen,
show me the old one first!

Do you really think that'll
make a difference to the budget?

Every little bit makes a difference.

Well, in that case,

we won't need any refill cartridges
for your fancy French pen!

Oui, oui.

TERRI: Frank!

Phoebe, this is Dr Frank Campion.
He's the director of emergency.

There you go.

So, you're the boss, right?

That's me.

I'm gonna go get some more fluids.

What's the story, Jack?

No change.

You won't give up, will you?

I mean, you can still
do other things.

We'll do everything we can.

I told Dad it'd be okay.

SOMBRE MUSIC

Phoebe?

Did Dr Beaumont tell you
exactly what's going on?

She said his temperature's really
low and we need to warm him up.

Alright.

Phoebe, the truth is,

the chances of anyone coming through
something like this are very slim.

And in your dad's case,

I'm afraid because of his age
and his temperature being so low,

the chances are much less.

Don't say that! He'll be alright!

Won't you, Dad?

How'd you go?

The cardiac team will consider it if
I find an ICU bed. So far no luck.

What does that mean?

We're trying to organise
a faster way to warm your dad,

but it's complicated, sweetie.

I don't care if it's complicated!
He's my dad!

Phoebe, why don't you and I
go for a walk?

Just fix him, okay? Make him better!

Yep. Come on, come on.

Sorry for losing it before.

Dad would freak if heard me
talking to you like that.

I've had patients and families
behave much worse than that.

At least you didn't spit at me.
I had that once.

Gross.
Yeah.

Look, Phoebe...

..you need to understand that,

even if we do manage
to revive your father,

there could be
long-term complications.

I don't care about any of that.

You need to care about it,

because it's going to affect
the rest of your life.

Your father could suffer
permanent brain damage.

Then I'll look after him.

Yeah, I don't think
you quite understand.

He looked after me when my mum died.

Everybody said he couldn't do it,
with work and everything,

but he did.

I'm sure he did.
But this is very different.

Why? We're a team, you know.
That's what he says, anyway.

It's kind of lame, I know,
but it's the truth.

I'm sure it is. I'm sure it is.

We've got to be realistic
about this.

If he dies, I'll be on my own.

If he doesn't die, he could be
a lifelong burden to you.

He could never be a burden.

I know that's how you feel now,

but in 10 or 20 years

when you're still looking after him
around-the-clock,

you may feel differently.

Please, please believe me.

You'll realise that
what seems to be me being cruel today

is actually the reverse.

You're only 14. You've got
your whole life ahead of you.

What does that mean
with no family to share it with?

How long have you been
feeling unwell?

Ah, a day or so.

I had the flu a couple of weeks ago,
but I thought I was over that.

Okay, any other medical history?

I probably should've just gone
to my local doctor,

but to tell you the truth,
he thinks I'm a hypochondriac.

I guess I am a bit.

Any other symptoms?

Not really.

I just don't feel... right.

I get this tingling in my hands
and feet. It drives me nuts.

Breathe for me.

When you go to your local doctor

and tell him your legs are aching
and you feel off,

and they look at you like,

"What do you want me
to do about it?"

You're probably thinking
that right now.

Hey! Only doctors are allowed
to be that arrogant.

Tell you what, you stay here,
I'll be right back.

I'm probably just imagining it.
It's no big deal.

Won't be long.

Don't give me that crap.

We've got a man here doing a good
impersonation of an ice sculpture,

and we need him up there now,
so get your act together!

Nelson, you got a second?

I have to relieve in Resus. What?

I've got a guy out there
with no specific symptoms.

Triage him accordingly.

I've just got a gut feeling he's got
something else going on with him.

Reassess him regularly.

If in doubt, or he deteriorates,
push him up a category.

Sorry, I have to do this.
Let me know if there's any changes.

Hey, what's going on?
It's sweet.

What's going on...

I'm just being paranoid because
Nelson gave me a serve earlier.

I'm not sure of the status
of a triage patient.

Do you want me to have a look?
No.

That's what triage responsibility is
all about. It's my decision to make.

What is your instinct telling you?

That he should be a higher priority
than category five.

Make him a high priority.

Charlotte, I've got your bed in ICU.

They can provide the profusionist
but not much else.

You'll need someone to go with him.

Thank you.
Can I have a word?

This better not come back
and bite us on the bum.

If this man comes through this
a vegetable,

he'll drain on the system
for the rest of his miserable life.

(groans in pain)

Are you getting worse?

I think I'm gonna be sick.

Okay. Hold on. I'll pull over.

(gags)

Oh! I'm so sorry.

It's okay. Don't worry about it.

Oh, God!

It's okay, it's alright.
(pants)

You okay, Jessie?

I didn't think it was this bad.

What's the story?

Acute appendicitis.
It looks like its perforated.

Let Peter know, Dan.

Frank...?
Busy.

Interview's in half an hour.

I can tell the time!

Is he ready to go to ICU?
Yeah.

Listen, you can't all go.
Okay, I'll stay.

Nelson, want me to take over?
I'm fine.

You sure? You must be exhausted.

Won't need to work out tonight.

Where are you taking him?

Cardiac are waiting upstairs to
warm your dad up more effectively.

Really?

Still no guarantees,
but this is the best chance.

We'll put your dad on cardiac
bypass, warm his blood up

and pump it back through his system.

We have to go.
I'll watch her.

Thanks.

Is this going to work?

I have no idea.

How's she doing?

Much better since the pain relief
kicked in.

Emergency Department. Cate speaking.

Yes. Yes, she's ready.

Okay, I'll send her up.

That was theatre. They're ready
for Jess. I'll page an orderly.

Okay.

Who's the surgeon on today?
Abbot.

He's a dinosaur.
He'll give her an old-fashioned scar.

Well, he's rostered on.

I'm gonna do it.

You're not working today.

I can fix that.

Terri, has Loretta Giorgio
been in to review Mrs Hunter?

Maybe you might give her
another call and hurry her up.

No, that's okay. I'm sure
she'll come when she's ready.

Hi. How are you going?

A culture shock.
I'm used to coming and going.

Forgot what it's like
being here all day.

So what's next?

A break for you.

I usually eat on the run.
Take yours first.

No, it's okay, I'm busy. You go.
Alright.

Hey, Jess.

Look at you. You alright?

I made a fool of myself.

I was in my pyjamas.

You're sick. You're not supposed
to look beautiful. No-one cares.

My fluffy slippers.

I threw up all over his car.

Whose car?

It wasn't supposed to happen
that way. I've ruined everything.

Okay.

Cate? Take your break.

Terri, who brought Jess in?

Vincent.

How are you doing?

Alright, I guess.

Are you in any pain?

No, not pain.

Let's have a doctor look at you.
Can you stand?

Yeah.

Take it easy. Up.

Sorry to be such a nuisance.

No nuisance, no nuisance.

Jack?

Have you got a sec?

Not really, mate.

I need you to have a look
at someone for me.

A 34-year-old male,

shortness of breath,
back and leg pain

following flu-like symptoms
a couple of weeks ago,

and he's having trouble
weight-bearing.

Where is he now?
I put him in triage.

Okay. Now this weakness
in your legs, that started today?

I've been a bit weird for a few
days, actually - pins and needles.

Sort of like they're asleep.

Dan's been in and out
checking on him all morning.

He's not right, is he?
I couldn't put my finger on it.

He didn't say he was getting worse
or give me all the information.

Okay, listen, I want bloods taken.
MRI and ECG, thanks.

Neurology consult?
Yeah.

Um, what's going on?
What's happening to me?

I don't know, but I'll find out.

I need you to just relax, okay?

Let's get you to a bed.

Nelson, he should have been triaged
higher than a category four.

Yeah, that was my fault.
Right.

It's alright, Jess,
you're on you way to theatre now.

I've got permission
to do the operation myself,

so I'll make sure
there is no scar, okay?

Shouldn't he be responding by now?

It takes a lot longer than this

to kick-start
a frozen circulatory system.

How warm does he need to get
before defib is effective?

Around 32 degrees.

I remember reading
this Canadian case

about a boy who fell into
an ice fishing hole -

he was under water
for a lot longer than this guy.

Come on, Donald.
You've got a daughter to look after.

She's waiting for you to wake up.

TAPPING

Do you mind?

TAPPING STOPS

What I mind is that I don't have
a candidate sitting in that chair

being interviewed.

Dr Beaumont...
THAT is what I mind.

Dr Beaumont is working on a
particularly difficult case, Alison.

We're all working, Frank.

Right, pushing paper can really
take it out of you, can't it?

She's not here.

And that is precisely my concern
with her as a candidate.

She has trouble working
within the system, always has.

Garbage.

Meanwhile,
there are other candidates

who are taking this seriously.

At least give her until 2:00.

No.

Cross Beaumont off the list.

Mr Swaine, you know,
you really should've told someone

that this was getting worse.

I didn't want to bother anyone.

I know how busy you all are.

I wasn't going to come in at all.

You're lucky Dan was on the ball.

Here, just squeeze both my hands.

Uh-huh. Okay, thanks.

Quick deficit both sides.

Is that neurology registrar
on the way?

He said he'd come
as soon as possible.

Who is it?
Ben Telford.

Oh! Well, good.

Judging by past experience,
he's not gonna be much help.

Excellent, Dr Telford.

Thanks very much.
I appreciate your time.

And we appreciate the effort you've
obviously put into your application.

My pleasure.
Thank you.

He's a talented boy.

He's a knob.

Now it's decision time.

Well, we can lose Beaumont
immediately.

So that leaves four possibles.

Lewis?

Moron. Just into prestige
and the letters after his name.

Yeah, I agree.

So do I.

Micaleff seemed motivated, good
clinical knowledge and judgment.

(sneers)

Frank, if you're gonna block
every one of these applicants,

then we'll have problems...

Then we'll have problems, Alison.

I know you. You want Telford
to have the position.

Stop wasting time and get down to it.

Ben Telford
has an impeccable record.

Frank, he was impressive.

He's been vegetating in Neurology
since the time he graduated.

He wouldn't know a trauma
if it bit him on the balls.

He demonstrates the knowledge,
skills and commitment

demanded of a program...

I don't care.

I cannot have a doctor in ED

who'll turn to water
at the first sight of blood.

He is pretty, though,
I'll give you that.

He's the best candidate we've
interviewed, and you know it.

But not necessarily the best man
for the job, Alison.

Charged.
Clear!

VF. Again, 360.

BEEPING INTENSIFIES

Charged.
Clear!

STEADY BEEPING

That looks like sinus rhythm to me.
Me too.

Welcome back, Donald.

Oh, sh...!
Charlotte?

Just something I was supposed to do.
It's too late now.

If you're okay here, I'd like to
speak to Donald's daughter.

That's fine.
Thank you.

Afternoon.

(groans in pain)

No, don't do that.
You've just had an operation.

Perforated appendix.

Come on, go back to sleep.

TERRI: Hey.

How did it go?

Like clockwork.
What are you doing up here?

Came to see how Jess was. These are
Mrs Hunter's pathology results.

MRAB?
Yeah.

No wonder nothing we've been doing
has been working.

I just hope I'm not the source
of the infection,

because if I'm carrying it,
I just operated on Jessica.

None of your other post-op patients
have signs of infection, do they?

No, but I'll get
the infection control team onto this,

and if you could take a swab
of Mrs Hunter's incision site.

Okay. Dr Giorgio
is aware of the results.

Would you like me to page you
when she arrives?

(snores)

Not unless you have to.

What's going on?

You seem to be avoiding her,
and I'd like to know why.

Okay, Terri, I called her yesterday
to ask for some advice on Mrs Hunter.

She suggested that we catch up
to talk about it,

and then she turned
the whole consult into a date.

(laughs) I'm sorry.

You're the only man in the hospital
who'd have a problem with that.

Yeah.

I'll tell her
how busy you are, shall I?

Thank you.
(laughs)

(snores)

Anyway, we're just going to start
by reviewing her antibiotics, okay.

Hello, there.

I'll get you Mrs Hunter's file.

No need. I'm sure Vincent
can run me through developments.

Nurse mentioned MRAB.

You forgot to give me
your phone number last night.

No, I didn't forget.

Shy?

I'm just not interested,
actually, I'm sorry.

I'm disappointed.

Vincent, I'm sorry to interrupt.
Um...

Excuse me.

Wow, that looked like you just
turned down Loretta Giorgio.

Are you nuts?

Did you want something, Dan?

Yeah, um... Jess, how is she?

She's doing fine.
Good.

I'll go and see her
in my lunch break.

Don't do that. She's just had
an operation. She needs rest.

Okay. I'll make it quick.

No, Dan! Did you hear what I said?

When the staff are in the hospital
they never get any rest.

DAN: What happened?

I think it's
Guillain Barre Syndrome -

you can get it after a virus.

The immune system attacks
the nervous system.

It can be really life threatening.

I didn't even think of that.
I've never come across it before.

Neither have I. Not something that
walks through the door every day.

Anyway, patients his age
recover pretty well.

Hopefully he'll improve
in a couple of weeks.

Okay, that was the bed manager.

We've got a bed in ICU
in 10 minutes.

Great.

If I'd triaged him
at a higher level...

Wouldn't have made a difference.
You did well picking it up.

You were right to trust
your instincts, Dan.

So what happened to
the neurology registrar?

You were lucky to diagnose him
with GBS.

Well, let's hope Ben Telford
doesn't get the training position.

He won't. The job's Charlotte's.

I really am very careful, Frank.
I hate wasting anything.

Except my time, perhaps.

Well, that's not very funny.

If we don't get
the requisition forms signed,

then we have no supplies.

We'll have to make do then, and when
we're scratching things on the...

Where have you been?
With Donald McCarthy.

He's continuing to improve,
his daughter's by his side.

That's all that matters.
Good.

I'd hate to think you missed
your interview without good cause.

Don't start. I know I stuffed up.
Damn right, you did.

I couldn't leave my patient, Frank.

If that means I don't get
the traineeship, then too bad.

Charlotte!

You wanna start on
hospital resources I've used,

go ahead, 'cause right now
I couldn't care less,

and neither should you.

Well, I don't have the luxury
of not caring

because I have to balance the budget,

I have to answer the board's
stupid, bloody questions

about whether or not I really needed
to use so many sutures,

and I have to explain to them

why my candidate for the traineeship
was too busy to attend her interview.

The fun just never stops for me.

Frank, I am sorry.

But Alison was never gonna give me
that position,

so what difference does it make?

Get yourself ready in half an hour.

At that time the board will be
reconvening to hear your application.

What?

I have been tap dancing for the last
hour to get you another shot,

so don't disappoint me.

And I expect the bypass
to be chalked up to ICU's budget

since it was done up there.

(winces in pain)

You can always call a nurse
to help, you know?

Wanna get up?

(pants)

Hey.

What are you doing here?

I brought you a present.

Emergency procedures manual.
Gee, thanks. (Laughs)

How are you feeling?

Not very good.

Well, don't expect too many visitors.

Vincent has appointed himself
your personal watchdog.

What are you talking about?

He doesn't want any of us plebs
bothering you.

Really?

Really.

So I'd better go.

No, you stay.

You always leave 'em
wanting more, Jess.

No, seriously, I've got to go.

I've got my own personal watchdog...
Who?

Nelson.

Oh, he's not still being
a pain, is he?

Not really. Enjoy your reading.

(whispers) No-one will ever know.

(laughs) Ouch!

Come on in. Sit down.

Am I in trouble?

Why do you say that? Nelson thinks
you're doing a great job.

I know that look.

I used to get it from teachers

who used to put "Daniel's attitude
is disappointing" on my report cards.

Am I right?

Well, you're self-reflective
skills are fabulous.

Ah, anyway, can I go?

Nope.

Here you go. Next month's rosters.
You've only got one weekend shift.

No way! That's fantastic.

Yeah, well, I checked back

you were given a bit of a rough
trot, so I thought you deserved it.

Just another thing -

interesting little list
you gave me here.

It says here each nurse
can have two evenings off a week

for courting purposes, as long as
they attend church regularly.

Oh, great. I'll see you there Sunday.

Charlotte,
you know what they'll ask you.

You went through it
on the physician's traineeship.

But I didn't have the director
of medicine gunning for me then.

Come on.

(Groans) Okay.

So tell me, Dr Beaumont,
why do you want this position?

To stick it up Newell.

Okay, okay.

Because my time in the ED
has demonstrated to me

what a valuable area
emergency medicine is...

What? Is that a wank?

It's not a complete one, no.

I'm going to blow this,
I know I am.

Charlotte, you're gonna be fine.
It's okay. It was a little thin.

Just say something like

you want to develop skills to work
at the highest clinical level

and then have the capacity to use
those skills to teach others,

blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

That's what I hate about you.
You're so perfect.

I'm far from perfect.

What's up?

I don't know I just...
I feel poisonous at the moment.

You know that's rubbish.

Come on, mate.
You're gonna be late. Off you go.

Thank you.

And if I screw this up,
then consider yourself poisonous.

Oh, Vincent.

It's Mrs Hunter's pathology results.

Ah.

Is that for me? Thanks.

Good news?

Yeah, her surgical wound
was negative for MRAB.

It means it didn't come from me.
That's good.

I'm surprised to see you
in the ED this afternoon.

I needed extra cash.
I'm going overseas at Christmas.

How's Jess?

I'm heading there now.
She was fine last time I checked.

You'd better be nice to her.
She's got a massive crush on you.

Hi.

How you feeling?

Much better, thanks.

Vincent, um...

thanks so much,
you know, for everything.

No problems.

Is there something wrong?

No, not at all.

You've had an appendicectomy,
but you'll barely notice the scar.

But you'll need to stay nil by mouth
until you've passed wind.

Yeah, I know all that.

Okay, any questions?

No.

Right, we've left a drain in which
we'll remove in a couple of days.

Ah, get some rest.

Hot, isn't it?

Is this yours?
Mm-hm.

Nice, Dr Giorgio.

I had a poster of one on my wall
when I was a teenager.

It wasn't this model, of course.

Let me guess, it had a naked woman
drapped over the bonnet?

It had two of them,
now you mention it.

You want a ride?

Oh...

ENGINE REVS
Suit yourself.

No, wait, wait.

ENGINE REVS

TYRES SCREECH

CHARLOTTE: Sorry.

Thank you.

(sighs)

Oh, thank you for joining us.

Finally.

I am sorry. I did have
an emergency to attend to.

Well, let's get started, shall we?

Why do you want this position?

Well, as you're aware, I have been
working in the ED for a while now

and I find it particularly
stimulating and challenging

as it utilises skills and knowledge
across all specialties.

And in my time there
I have come to understand

what a valuable speciality
emergency medicine really is.

How so?

It's the front line for patients
in critical condition.

It's a place of education
for patients

with less urgent
clinical presentations

and you are dealing with patients...

Oh, for God's sake.

All this touchy-feely,
cuddle me, please stuff

is starting to turn my stomach.

Sorry, I don't have time for it.
Dr Campion...!

I need to know if this applicant
has the initiative

to take care
of an emergency situation

without me holding her bloody hand.

Since Dr Beaumont decided
to stuff us around all day,

I think we should put her
through the ringer.

How do you intend doing that?

Patient presents with hypothermic
cardiopulmonary arrest

following prolonged exposure
to sub-zero temperatures.

What do you do?

Well, first, I would...

Dr Campion,
that's hardly a fair question.

All of our candidates
deserve a level playing field.

I'm happy to answer
the question, Dr Newell.

Any underlying pathology
I should know about,

anything that would preclude
resuscitation attempts?

Nope.

Then I would have to weigh up
my options on rewarming techniques.

Which are?

Passive external rewarming -

insulating from heat loss,
warm environment.

Active external rewarming -
heat blankets, lamps, etc.

An active core rewarming -
heat infusions, lavages.

Extracorporeal blood rewarming -

hemodialysis, venovenous,
cardiopulmonary bypass...
