- [Woman] Labor ward.

- Mr. Lake.

- [Operator] Who are you?

- I'm a new SPR.

(door buzzing)

(woman screaming)

- Is she having a baby elephant?

I'm looking for Mr. Hurley's firm.

- Next door.

- Thank you.

(bell ringing)

- Gurney.

- Roger Hurley's new SPR.

(buzzing)

- Hello, I'm Sister Ricks.

Roger shouldn't be long.

- Sorry, Donna, you wouldn't happen

to be involved with Roger Hurley's

gurney list for this afternoon?

- I'm his new registrar.

- I've been bleeping the SHO for 15 minutes now

and I'm late for theater.

I'd like the diabetic first on the list.

Any questions, worries.

- Yeah, sorry, one, who are you?

- Maria Orton.

I'm aesthetics consultant.

I'm sorry to dump that on ya.

- When's it due?

- Not soon enough.

- Lab results are in.

- [Maya] Shit.

- Oxford Handbook.

Can't get by without it.

(buzzing)

- Morning Maya.

- Morning Roger.

- Roger Hurley.

Welcome to Cold Face.

Mara, this is our new SPR, Rob?

- Lake. - Lake.

- Hi.

- Oh, shall we go?

How are you Donna?

- Fine, Roger, you?

- Oh, Zack was up half the night with a cold,

so we'll probably all get one now.

Tony?

Rob, this is Mr. Whitman,

our principal consultant.

- Well, they're just our meaningless titles,

for review, go without being suspended.

How do you do?

- Polly Gray, specialist registrar.

- Pleased to meet you.

- Tony, are you taking on the CA?

- Ah, she's got a cervix like a cauliflower.

It's not an operation she needs.

- It's radiotherapy.

- It's a pine box.

Good luck.

- Roger, I don't suppose you'd.

Thanks.

Advanced CA cervix.

- Her MRI suggests that she's borderline operable.

- Good morning, Mrs. Bourne.

- Winifred, hi.

My name's Roger Hurley.

Just another doctor I'm afraid.

Your scan suggests there's a possibility

that surgery could help you.

It would be a palliative procedure,

it wouldn't cure you, but it would make you

much more comfortable.

Would you add Mrs. Bourne to my list please Donna?

- Yeah.

- I'll do my best for you Winifred.

- Thank you.

- [Donna] Thanks Roger.

- This is the lap steri.

- Good morning, Mrs. Collier, how are you.

As you know, we'll be going in

with a small telescope to perform a sterilization.

Six kids.

Well, we better get on before

you pop another one out.

- Lap and dye for theater today.

- Lap and dye for investigations for fertility.

Morning Mrs. Campbell.

We're gonna have a look inside your abdomen

with a small telescope to see if

there are any problems that have stopped you

from getting pregnant.

If we do find something,

then hopefully we can treat it

and you'll be able to start a family.

- [Mrs. Campbell] Thank you.

- Everything okay?

- Yeah.

- She's a diabetic.

The anesthetist wants her first on the list.

- Thank you, Rob.

Maya, could you change the list please

and put Mrs. Collier first, please.

- Campbell.

- Campbell, yes, slip of the tongue.

- Hi, Anne-Marie, it's Maya.

We want to move Mrs. Campbell to first on the list.

- There you go.

- Thanks Anne-Marie.

- [Anne-Marie] No problem.

- Thanks.

- Right.

Jillian Campbell G triple 89538274.

- Yep.

(intense music)

- [Donna] You all right.

- Hi, Donna.

- Hi, Lydia.

- Hi, I'm Dr. Orton.

We met in the OR before.

I'll be putting you to sleep for your operation.

- Morning team.

- Morning boss.

Joy, Lovely carrot cake, thank you very much.

- Oh, thank you.

- Don't we all see some freaky funnies in our game.

- Yes, you do.

So did you do many sterilizations in your previous post?

- A few.

- No, it's a lap and dye.

Gillian Campbell G8889538274, laparoscopy and dye.

- Are you sure?

- Yes.

- Someone bring me the notes please.

Sterilization.

Lap and dye for sub fertility.

We saw her in the ward room, Rob, you happy.

- Really strong.

- Okay, correct the theater list, please.

Okay, back to work everyone.

Music please.

I do beg your pardon Maria.

- Is that it?

This patient's desperate to get pregnant.

You came within a whisker of sterilizing her.

- [Roger] We'll deal with it later.

- Mr. Lake, do you know who's responsible for this cock-off?

- Sorry, first day.

- [Roger] Scalpel.

- Shall I report this as an NS?

- I just said we'll deal with this later.

- Fine.

- Everything okay Mrs. Campbell?

- Fine, thank you.

- Good.

Is she okay?

- Yeah, she's fine.

- The theater list was written up wrong.

She was down for a sterilization.

- Anne-Marie must have typed it out wrong.

- Are you sure, do you have to check?

- Shit happens, sorry.

- You been round to the other patients yet?

- Love to, but 5 o'clock, got a hot date.

Not my problem.

- Wonderful.

- The area of CA was excised completely.

We await histology and if there are no surprises,

we will operate.

- Tony, when you interviewed her,

did you bother to ask if she could type?

- Yeah, 60 words a minute.

Think I'll take a minute.

So, would you care for a lift?

- Yeah, that would be lovely.

- Mr. Hurley's removed as much

of the cancer as possible.

The disease is still there,

but hopefully you'll be a little comfortable now.

Okay?

Excuse me.

- [Mrs. Vaugnh] Thank you.

- Excuse me.

- I didn't get your name.

- Kat, yours?

- Rob.

- Please to meet you Rob.

- I've written up the post-op fluids

on Winifred Bourne.

- Aren't you a clever boy.

(buzzing)

- Daddy's got to go now, bye.

- Hey, boss.

- Rob?

Are you come around the post ops for me?

- Sorted.

- What we're done for the day?

- We're done.

- Yeah, you can keep your job.

- Fancy a drink to mash out?

- I would do, but if everything's okay,

I might just sneak off home.

Thanks for today Rob.

- No problem.

- Hi, it's me.

Yeah, I'm just leaving.

Tell Timmy I'll read him a story.

The new registrar's sorting.

Who wants to send me a bloke

who's in a complete toss-up.

(dramatic music)

(buzzing)

- Tim Sibley.

ANE senior SHO, Mr. Whitman.

- Senior SHO, isn't that an oxymoron.

- No, that's autology.

Senior senior S officer.

- I tried bleeping your SHO

but I got no response.

- We don't have an SHO.

- She's supposed to be arriving from Spain,

but she can't get registered

unless she's got a job and the hospital

won't give her a job unless she's registered.

- So what are you doing Tom?

- Tim.

I'm here for review.

This is what I've reported.

- Spare me.

She's Hurley's.

- Well, we are on take today.

- Yes, I know we're on take Polly,

but look her, she's deader than Elvis.

I am not having her peg it under me.

Not literally under me obviously.

- Roger.

There's a patient, Mrs. Bourne, she's in--

- Tony, do you mind?

- She's the one with advanced CA cervix,

I ducked out of.

I'll leave her with you, is that right?

- No, it's not all right.

First call is you admit her

and hand her back to me in the morning.

- You're the one who chose to operate on her.

She's all yours mate.

- Rob, are you okay to close?

- [Rob] Sure, boss, no problem.

- Thank you.

- How you getting on with Roger?

- Fine, thanks.

- Good.

Good.

- Polly.

- I'm really sorry about this Mr. Hurley.

- That's okay.

- Well, chest film shows pulmonary secondaries,

possible pneumonia, though it's hard to tell.

- Will you fetch me a glass of water will you?

- Water?

- Please.

- Okay.

- Thanks.

Winifred.

I'm Mr. Hurley.

Do you remember me?

Very good.

We're gonna make you as comfortable as possible, okay.

Thank you.

I'm just gonna take your mask off.

It's okay, it's okay.

There you go.

Very good.

Well done.

I'm just gonna put your mask back on.

There you go.

Okay.

Thanks.

- The daughter's complaining.

They've already been here eight hours.

- When did I operate on her?

- October the 1st.

Bad luck.

- What's the problem?

- Postoperative mortality.

If she lives for 30 days,

she won't appear in the figures.

- Tim, is it Tim?

- Yes.

- Would you check if there's

a hospice bed available please?

- Of course, my pleasure.

- Thank you. - Thank you.

- Doctor.

- Yes.

- I'm Mrs. Bourne's daughter.

- Yes, of course, Mr. Hurley.

I'll take it Polly, thanks.

- Polly, could you do this one with me?

Les has gone home.

- Can you?

- He never told me it'd come off

till he was finished.

He was, you know, fishing around for it for ages.

- And couldn't your boyfriend find it?

- Me boyfriend finding it was not

what we was worried about.

- If you will insist on having casual sex,

then the least thing you can do is ensure

that the condom is fitted securely.

You're at risk for unwanted pregnancy.

- Tell me what you can see.

- Diseases.

I'm not sure.

- Okay.

Let me have a look.

- Oh.

Well, at least your tie's not still a virgin, eh.

- She's pissed herself.

- [Katya] Is that so?

- You don't expect me to change the bed, do you?

- I wouldn't stop you.

(Ms. Bourne moaning)

- Donna.

Offering to the plate Debbie McGee

to my Paul Daniels.

- I'm sorry to bother you Mr. Hurley, but I need--

- Mr. Hurley, uh-oh.

What have I done?

- I don't think it's appropriate

for Mrs. Bourne to be on the ward.

- It's just till she can be transferred

to the hospice.

- Which hospice?

- Newland's.

- There's 60 patients in this hospital

that the bed manager has a place at Newland's.

Newland's isn't built yet.

- I thought I could get her in somewhere tonight.

There wasn't time to sort it out.

She'll move out in the morning.

- As I said Roger, I don't think

it's appropriate that she's in an acute gurney bed.

- Donna.

You were the one that wanted me

to help her in the first place.

I don't think it's fair to share in the credit

when things go right

and to blame me when things go wrong.

(Mrs. Bourne moaning)

- Boost the driver.

- I have done.

- Well, boost it again.

- Ovarian salvage is the cornerstone of my work.

I believe some monolocular ovarian cysts

can be managed expectantly.

This strategy is appropriate for women

with a cyst size of less than five centimeters.

Cysts eight centimeters or less

have a very low risk of malignancy

and often resolve spontaneously.

This is the fundamental objective of my work,

to give the woman her best chance

of a normal reproductive life.

Thank you.

(applauding)

Thank you very much.

- Boss, I need to talk to you about this CA cervix.

- What's there to talk about?

Get her through the night.

Hey, Iggy.

- Good on you.

- Actually, can you just give me a minute, Rob.

If you need me to come now, I'll come now.

- No, no, it's fine.

- You sure? - Yeah.

- Sorry about that, how are you.

Thanks for coming.

(moaning)

- She's already had 24 hours of Dilaudid.

- Give her some more.

- Not me.

- Giver her some more

or I will.

- She shouldn't have even been here.

- No, she shouldn't.

- She wasn't even that old.

- Well, she's dead now.

Don't get much older than that.

(buzzing)

- How is she?

- Sorted.

- Rob, I'm sorry.

These lectures, they don't come up very often.

Thanks for covering.

- Hiya.

Maybe Roger shouldn't have operated on her.

Maybe he should have referred her for radiotherapy.

- Why'd you say that?

- No reason.

- I don't worry anymore about how much

these things affect me.

I worry about how little they do.

- Come on.

I'll buy you a drink.

- No, I've gotta do the report.

- Afterwards then.

- I have to dang a womb.

- This month I had one instance

of postoperative mortality.

The patient was 67 years old

with end stage CA cervix,

pulmonary mets and pneumonia.

She was awaiting transfer to hospice,

but unfortunately died on the ward

before a place could be found.

I carried out palliative excision and repair

on her 29 days prior to her death.

Radiotherapy was an alternative,

but it would have made her extremely ill.

The palliative surgery gave her the best chance

of a reasonable quality of life

and the MRI scan indicated she was operable.

Thank you.

- Death is a death bro, when it's in black and white.

- Yeah, but it's easy to have impressive figures

when you turn away anyone who's really sick.

- Someone told me something once.

I think it was an old boss of mine.

The superior surgeon uses his superior judgment

to steel clear of any situation which might test

his superior ability.

- I thought they were gonna fix this.

- Yeah, well, they haven't so far.

- Thanks for everything.

- Oh, you're welcome.

Thank you.

Uh!

(laughing)

- Here.

- Who was that?

- I don't know, it's good trots, though.

- Are they mustard flavored?

I'm into mustard this week.

The antichrist wants mustard.

- Mm.

- Your turn.

- What?

- It's your turn.

- Oh, it's your turn.

- I tingle.

- Angela Strawberry.

That's an unusual name.

Very pretty.

- Thank you.

Oh, sorry.

I've got a bit of a sore throat.

- Well, I'm Polly Grey.

I'm a specialist registrar in obstetrics

and gynecology and I was wondering

if I could ask you some questions

about your sex life.

- [Mrs. Strawberry] Well, I don't see why not.

- [Polly] Are you in a sexual relationship?

- Honestly, it's medical.

So, we spoke about laparoscopy in outpatients.

I'm gonna make a small incision in the abdomen,

take a look inside with at tiny little telescope.

All I need is your consent.

- I've been doing some research on the internet.

- [Rob] Oh, Jesus.

- [Patient] I'd like to ask again about the risks.

- Laparoscopy isn't a high-risk operation.

Of course, no medical procedure is without its dangers.

Thousands of people have operations

in the NHS every day.

Only a small number of them have any problems.

That's the most important thing to remember.

- You're patronizing me.

- Of course I am, I'm a doctor.

But I'm also telling you the truth.

- [Patient] Worse case scenario, what can go wrong?

- Like I say, there's no worst case scenario

commonly associated with this medical procedure.

- There are always worst case scenarios.

I insist on knowing

or I'll withhold consent.

- You could suffer a reaction

to the anesthetic, which would you either dead

or permanently disabled.

You could hemorrhage during the operation

and bleed to death.

The operation could be a complete success,

but you get a clot forming into your leg,

which would shoot up to your lungs

and then bang,

fatal cardiac arrest.

- [Polly] And did your last orgasm result

from sexual intercourse or masturbation?

(beeping)

- It's Rob Lake, you're bleeping me.

- Hi, Rob, it's Maya.

Look, I know this sounds like rubbish,

but I've got a patient here

with a really bad sore throat.

I was thinking it could be epiglottitis.

- They're ready for you.

- She needs an ENT opinion.

Look, I've got to go on to a case,

but if you've got any problems,

give me a call, okay?

All right, no problem.

- [Donna] It's all right.

- Okay, Angela, can you keep still for me,

I just need to look at your chest.

- It's okay.

It's okay.

It's all right.

- Shit, Donna, get me an adrenaline nebunide

and 200 IO cortisone IV.

- Okay.

- Did you speak to an ENT?

- I thought you were gonna do it.

- What?

- You said she needed an ENT opinion.

They'll only see gurney patients

if the registrar or above make the referral

so I assumed you were gonna call them.

- That's not what I meant at all.

- That's what it sounded like.

Wait, what do we do?

- Get the crash trolley.

Hi, I need the bleep number

for the registrar on call for ENT please.

(gasping)

- You're fine.

(phone ringing)

- ONG, Mr. Lake.

She's busy.

Listen mate, I need this line for

an urgent medical call.

(phone ringing)

ONG, Mr. Lake.

Thanks for getting back to me.

Okay, I've got a woman

with possibly acute epiglottitis.

Well, get here as soon as you can please.

ENT reg, he's non-residential.

He's in theater at General.

He's gonna get here as soon as he can.

- She might last.

- Could you put out a fast bleep

to the senior anesthetist on call?

Thank you.

What's her name.

- [Polly] Angela, Angela Strawberry.

- Angela, the ENT surgeon's gonna be here very soon.

In the meantime, you've gotta let

the nebulizer help you breathe.

Try and relax for me, okay.

(gasping)

- Help you breathe.

Rob.

- I need the anesthetist, shit.

- [Maya] Hold on Angela.

It's all right, calm down Angela, stay calm.

It's all right, okay Angela.

Keep it still now darling.

I know, it's all right.

It's all right.

- Hold her down.

Lie her still please.

- [Maya] Angela, come on.

- There's too much edema,

I can't get the fucking tube in.

Okay, I need a B ven flow

and three-way tap.

Get me an oxygen line will you please.

- Just do it.

- Okay, hold her still, hold her still, hold her still.

- [Maya] I'll just give her a three-way.

- I know, I will when I'm ready thank you.

- [Maya] Okay, okay.

- Okay, I'm in the trachea.

Keep still Ang.

Oxygen's in.

- The oxygen's going in now Angela.

- Angela, the oxygen's gonna help you

but you gotta help me by keeping still please.

Keep still.

Aw, shit.

Okay, she's gonna need a surgical cric.

Get back on Zoe, ENT,

call around, see if anybody's done a cric before

and now call Mr. Hurley.

- She needs it now.

- She's not my fucking section Donna.

I've never even seen a cric.

- She needs a stable cric.

You're the closest thing to a surgeon

we've got right now.

- We've still got an output.

- Put out a 222 respiratory arrest.

- Just do it.

- Any news?

- [Maya] Not yet.

- Hold her down, hold here here.

Hold her fucking steady.

- [Donna] Trying.

- Try fucking harder.

Now she's bleeding into her trachea.

Oh, fuck.

I don't have a clue what I'm doing here,

I don't know what I'm doing.

I haven't got a clue.

I haven't got a clue.

- Too late mate, she's gone.

- [Rob] Get me another tube.

- Rob.

Rob, listen up.

Thanks everyone.

Okay.

Sit down.

The ENT had an emergency of their own.

If they hadn't, they'd have been here.

But even then, there's no guarantee

she would've survived.

- I had a chance to do a cric

and I botched it.

- Look.

We're not machines, Rob.

We can all have an off day.

You made an isolated uncharacteristic error.

- I panicked and let everything get on top of me,

I shouldn't have.

- You're not expected to be able to perform

a surgical cricothyrotomy.

The only mistake you made was taking it on.

Some doctors don't take on the difficult cases

because they're afraid of failing.

That's not how we do things on my firm.

We're not obsessed with buffing our figures.

We do what's best for the patient

and if you hadn't have acted,

that woman would have died.

- She did die.

- Rob, I consider this a tragic accident.

An accident's where no one's to blame.

You're not to blame.

- You all right?

Good.

(knocking)

(moaning)

- Hold on.

(buzzing)

If you'd just like to take a seat in here.

I'll tell him you're here.

Yeah, hello, Anne-Marie, it's Donna.

Would you let Mr. Hurley know

that Mrs. Strawberry's daughter and son

are in the gurney ward office.

Yeah.

Okay, thanks.

Mr. Hurley's secretary says

he's already on his way up.

- Morning.

I was one of the doctors dealing with your mother.

She developed condition called acute epiglottitis,

which causes the throat to close off.

We had to make a hole in the throat

to enable her to breathe again.

For a specialist in throat surgery,

this is a relatively simple procedure.

However, it's not something we really do

on this ward.

Hysterectomies and Cesarean sections are our thing.

A specialist was required in a very short amount of time.

- Hey, Rob.

Hi, I'm Roger Hurley, I'm a consultant.

Very sorry for your loss.

Rob, would you do me a favor

and start the ward run and I'll catch up with you.

Thank you.

Your mother was under my care

following a hysterectomy.

Surgery puts on an enormous strain on the body.

I think she was susceptible to infection.

And what started out as no more than

a simple sore throat turned very quickly

and very alarmingly into a life threatening condition.

The doctors here only had what amounted

to a minute or less to carry out

a very difficult procedure.

They did everything they could,

but there wasn't sufficient time.

We're all very sorry.

- A tracheotomy, was that a procedure?

- Something similar, yeah.

- I've seen it done on television.

They make a cut and bingo.

- Well, that's television.

I'm really very sorry for your loss.

If there's anything I can do.

- [Daughter] Thank you.

- Okay, I hate to do this,

but I have a ward round to do now.

Bye.

Come on, we're fine.

(buzzing)

- [Woman] Labor ward.

- Rob Lake.

(heavy breathing)

- [Woman] Here is the registrar for you Hazel.

- Thanks doctor.

- You'll be okay.

- Late decelerations.

With dips.

- With dips, okay, the trace suggests

the baby might be in some kind of distress.

I'm gonna have to do an internal examination.

- I just did one, she's fully dilated.

- Please don't take this the wrong way Hazel.

I just wanna check for myself.

I'm sorry.

She's fully dilated NLT.

- Do you want to do an instrumental delivery?

We're talking about helping

the baby out with forceps.

- Let's get her down to theater.

If the forceps don't work,

then we'll move on to a Cesarean.

- Okay.

- Okay, good.

- Hiya Dottie.

I thought we were doing a CS?

- We are.

- So where is the patient?

- Fuck this.

Hazel where's my p--

- [Haze] Doing really well, breathe.

- So we'll give her a few more minutes.

You don't mind do you Rob.

Just doing a fetal blood sample.

Just gonna make a tiny little nick

in the baby's skull, okay?

(groaning)

Thank you.

Big push now, here we go again, big push, good girl.

- Push first.

- [Roger] Big push, good girl.

- You've still got big dips there boss.

- I know.

Let's wait for the fetal pH.

- Our theater are prepped.

- I know.

- [Hazel] Breathe.

- [Nurse] pH 7.1.

- .1, okay, we're gonna have to get

your baby out straightaway, okay?

Prep her through please.

Fundal pressure.

- Are you okay?

- This baby's as far as a pint yet.

- Just cut the cord, shall we.

Mayo.

- [Rob] Maybe we shouldn't have waited boss.

- Just concentrate on this Rob.

Go.

- We just have to do an injection.

- Suction.

Suction.

Trent, please.

(baby crying)

- There he goes.

- Well done.

All is well that ends well.

- You've been Roger's registrar

for how long is it now?

Surely you must have cause for concern.

- He's just delivered a healthy baby

from a healthy mom.

- Rob.

Rob.

He was appointed BS for his research

in ovarian disease.

That and the funding that he brings

to the hospital.

He isn't experienced enough

in general obstetric practice

to hold hold the post of consultant in O and J.

- You ever made a mistake?

Ever killed someone?

- I've been a doctor for 13 years.

Of course I have.

- Well, then with all due respect,

who are you to point the finger?

- Rob.

I'm not being insensitive to the cricothyrotomy.

Every doctor makes mistakes.

But everybody in this hospital

knows that Roger makes mistakes

again and again and again.

Now, that is not an isolated uncharacteristic error.

You know, if there's a willingness to accept that

or to learn from it.

- You're wrong about him.

He's a supportive boss, he's hard working,

he's a good guy.

- Roger Hurley may be a good guy.

But he's just not that good a doctor.

- Yvonne.

- Aw, shit.

- [Katya] You're gonna be okay.

- Kat.

Oh, God.

Bloody hell.

What's the difference between

a midwife and a sperm?

- I don't know.

- The sperm can find the cervix.

- Two centimeters dilated.

You have a long way to go my girl.

A long, long way.

- Mrs. Carr should have

her blood pressure checked hardily overnight.

- Okay, I'll make sure the night staff know.

- That's about me done for the day.

You?

- Another hour or so maybe.

- Long day.

- Long day.

- I could wait around an hour

if you fancied going out for a quick drink.

- Sorry.

- Another night then?

Next time I won't try talking to you in the ward.

I do need to talk to you though.

- Rob.

- Do you think Roger Hurley's incompetent?

- He's very into his research,

he's generally very caring about his patients.

- Have you seen him make mistakes.

- The maternity unit sees 4,000 labors a year.

Some are bound to go wrong.

- Do his go wrong more often than they should?

- Some people say they do.

- Who are some people?

- Hospital people.

- What do you say?

- I've been here long enough to know

it's best never to say anything.

- Wait a second.

Who are these people who are slacking off anyway?

Midwives, nurses, fucking porters.

- You asked me what people say, I told you.

- What do they say about me now, hmm?

I botched up a cric and killed someone,

complete waste of space.

What do you say about me?

- I don't say anything about you Rob.

- I'm sorry about Angela Strawberry.

I'm sorry it happened on your ward.

Please, don't say it wasn't my fault.

I just need someone to acknowledge

I could've done better.

- You could have done better.

- If not tonight, can I see you tomorrow night?

- [Donna] I'm married.

I'm sorry.

See me again.

when he's good and ready.

or scenarios during sex?

Would you describe it as satisfying or unsatisfying.

- Unsatisfying.

- And what is the most unsatisfying?

- Oral.

They don't know how much would be enough.

- Okay, thank you.

I know you're dying to ask.

- I'm not.

Okay, I'm asking.

- I'm conducting interviews

with sexually active patients

and most of the staff.

Those who consent are being enrolled

in a pilot study for Besofenafil.

It's a possible treatment for FSD.

Okay, breathe.

Relax.

(groaning)

Oh, Mark, I can't stand it.

The baby Mark.

- Jesus.

- Sorry about the wait.

- I'm Dr. Dutta.

Will you need to deliver it early?

- I'll examine your wife and

well, then we'll see.

- Thanks.

Tell me when you feel the next contraction coming.

- Shit, you tell me.

Midwives.

Christ you all think you're so (screaming).

- I'm Mr. Lake, the registrar.

I'll look after you okay.

Signals.

- Trying.

Don't you dare break it.

(moaning)

- Okay, good.

There's a heartbeat and a strong one.

I've spoken to the consultant.

We're going to get you into theater,

you're gonna be fine.

- Roger on the phone. - Thank you.

- Boss, 28-weeker, probably abruption.

- [Man On Phone] What you want?

- Shit.

Boss?

Patient Karen Taylor, 39 years old,

28 weeks gestation.

Probable abruption.

She's bleeding heavily.

BP 100/60.

- Roger, finish off the stirs,

see her and then come up and join me straightaway.

- Thanks Boss.

- You did it!

Lovely.

- [Maya] Shit.

Shit.

- [Roger] Fuck.

- Shit, she's bleeding faster

than we can put a bag.

[Roger] I'm trying to fuck's sake, I'm trying.

- [Maya] You should have done a hysterectomy.

- [Roger] Don't tell me what to do.

I'm in charge here.

- Swab.

(monitor beeping)

- She's crashing.

Stand clear.

Stand clear.

Head, feet, body, nyself, clear.

Charging at 200, shocking.

No output.

Stand clear.

Charging at 200.

Shocking.

No output.

Charging at 360.

Shocking.

Start compressions and adrenaline.

- Two, three, four, five.

One, two, three, four, five.

- I can't control the bleeding.

- Stop compressions.

- I'm just trying to save her womb.

- No, no output.

Stand clear.

Charging at 360, shocking.

Sinus tachy.

- Incision's extended into the venous plexus.

It's a broad ligament.

- Okay.

- Let's just get it out of the uterine pass.

Let's save this woman's life boss, yeah?

Hysterectomy, yeah?

Hysterectomy boss?

- Green Armitage.

Get me an abdo tray please.

- [Nurse] Abdo tray.

- I don't know why she bled so much.

She just bled.

(knocking)

- Mr. Teller, I'm sorry,

I've got some bad news.

Your baby didn't survive.

I'm sorry.

- Mark.

I'm afraid Karen suffered some complications

during the operation.

Her heart stopped beating for a time

until we got it going again.

Her brain received less oxygen than normal.

I'm afraid she didn't come round

from the anesthetic as we'd expect.

She's in a coma.

There are signs of brain damage.

It may be minor.

She may make a full recovery.

But we can't be certain until

she comes around from the coma.

(sobbing)

If she comes around from the coma.

I'm very sorry.

(knocking)

- It's okay, I'll take him.

Can you get me a camera please?

You can hold him if you like.

He's a boy.

Would you like to hold him?

- We can.

Take a lock, thank you.

We can take a lock of his hair

and prints of his hands and feet.

- [Hazel] Oh, Yvonne.

He's gorgeous, absolutely gorgeous.

- Something went wrong didn't it?

In the operation?

- Sometimes things go wrong.

- Did somebody make a mistake?

What's the point of asking you?

You all stick together.

Did somebody make a mistake?

Did somebody do this to her?

Why you didn't stop them,

why didn't you stop them,

why didn't you stop them?

Stop them.

Why didn't you stop them?

Why didn't you stop them?

Why didn't you stop them.

- [Announcer] Next time on Bodies.

- Oh, shit.

Get that.

- Maria, if you've got a problem

with my methods, then you should assess them with me.

- I tried over and over again.

- [Woman] Push!

- I'm not taking the blame

if this baby comes out a fucking moppet.

- I'm married, I can't do this.

- Where are my wife's records.

- You're asking me to blow the whistle.

- If you can ignore this case,

it won't be much longer

till there's another one.

- The process isn't working.

You're in my way.

- I've got a patient on the table in there.

If Hurley carries on the way he's going,

she's gonna be dead in the next 10 minutes.

- If Roger coming in?

- I am.
