Rosie! It's Doctor Ford.
Please stop. Don't move! You
said Rosie was psychotic.
But that does not happen
overnight. ROSIE SCREAMS
Nothing he said is
relevant to understanding
why his wife jumped off
a roof under your care.
You should be asking Dr Hernandez
what went wrong with Rosie's birth.
Rosie needed to
see a psychiatrist.
Maria Carter said that
you told her to cancel.
That's obviously a lie.
Do not speak to the MIU again.
'Who was that?' Doctor
Munro. He's one of my tutors.
He was here because I'm
thinking of quitting med school.
Fizz has been off work
sick since that night out.
Take us to A&E.
'Now, I know it sounds bad.'
It doesn't just sound bad,
it sounds career-ending.
Mr Mansoor delivered
Toni's first baby naturally
without any significant
complications.
I was recently told
that Toni's first baby
suffered a skull fracture.
Did Toni drop her
baby, or didn't she?
Please, I don't wanna
end up like Maria.
Get off my ward now.
A bullying complaint has
been made against you.
WOMAN SOBS
You forced a patient
to have major surgery.
The baby was born safely.
If anything like this
ever happens again,
just give one of us a call,
that's what we're here for.
We've become aware
of some concerning issues
about Dr Hernandez.
We spoke to Maria
Carter, Rosie's midwife.
Are you aware Maria Carter is
currently under investigation?
We asked you, as a trust, to look
at Dr Ford's fitness to practise.
That's our primary concern.
I think it's best you stick to
the job you were brought in to do.
So, what now?
We continue looking
into Dr Hernandez
but let them think our
focus is on Dr Ford.
OK. I'll start putting together
a report on him and Rosie Newman.
I'll contact the NMR.
Given what he said, we
need to know exactly why
they're investigating Maria.
See what you can dig
up from Maternity.
Any staff reporting
issues with Dr Hernandez,
incident reports linked to
her, that kind of thing.
The nerve of that man, thinking
he can tell us how to do our job.
The Trust does not
dictate our work.

"excellent" by the CQC.
And what about Dr Hernandez?
She has an exemplary
ARCP record,
and no complaints or incident
reports involving her.
What, none? No.
The only doctors referred from QM
to the MIU in the last three years
were two anaesthetists
and two junior doctors.
Well, is there anything that links
them, anything they have in common?
Other than QM, nothing,

Ah, erm, th-that girl

she's just been

so the overdose triggered
a manic episode and...
and... and... and...
I-I don't know.
OK.
Is your name in
her notes? Yeah.
f*ck's sake, James!
If the Trust find out about this
and that I helped

You just made a phone call.
It's nothing to do with you.
No, it's got everything

If she sees me, Kate... You
knew she had bipolar disorder?
Funnily, she didn't mention her
mental illness during dinner.
I thought you met her at a club.
If there's anything else
that you wanna say, James,
now'd be a really

Did you sleep with her?
Because if you slept with
her AND you gave her drugs,
then that's... that's
really not good.
We... We kissed. Just once.
Twice. That's... That's it.

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

So, what, you did it
out of spite? No... No.
Then what?
Why would you do that?
You made me look like a liar.

Just stay off the

I'd like to do a quick

Pop your feet together for me?
Keep breathing, yeah? Right...
What's happening?
There were no beds in
the labour ward earlier,
so we paused the induction.
When we resumed, she
wasn't progressing,
so we gave her oxytocin.
She is now fully dilated, and
she's been pushing for 40 minutes.
FREYA CRIES OUT
The contractions are 6-10,
and there are regular
late decelerations.
What rate's the oxytocin?
FREYA MOANS You
can. Yeah, you can.
You're doing really
well. FREYA MOANS
You're doing really well. Oi,
you're doing really well, OK?
That's it, Freya.
OK, Freya, your uterus
is contracting too much,
that's why it's so painful.
You and your baby aren't getting
enough rest between contractions.
I've stopped the oxytocin,
which should help.
Please, please make it
stop. I'm begging you.
Come on, Freya. Keep going.
You're strong enough
to do this naturally.
Come on! We need to
transfer her to theatre.
I can't... You can.
Yeah, you can. You can.
You're doing really well.
FREYA PANTS Shh.
There's marked foetal distress,
and I'm worried her
uterus might rupture.
She needs a C-section,
and I'm happy to do it.
She's too exhausted
to keep pushing and...
If she's exhausted, assist her.
We need to get the baby
out. The hypoxia...
If there's no obstruction,
it's quicker to get the baby
out using a ventouse or forceps.
'Get started. I'll
be there soon.'

DOOR OPENS, CLOSES
There's no change.
Oh, arriving at work together.
Careful, we'll get people talking.
Don't even joke about it -
one inappropriate relationship
is enough for me to
deal with right now.
Rubi and her uni tutor.
That's why she's back? Yeah.
Oh. I know.
So, I contacted the NMR.
They're investigating
multiple historic complaints
against Maria Carter. Really?
Yeah. She worked on
the elderly care ward
before retraining as a midwife.
So, ten years ago,
a family complained
that their relative died due to
the poor care Maria provided.
Nothing came of it,
but eight weeks ago,
the family contacted the NMR
and said they wanted their
complaint re-examined
because they had new evidence.
What, just after Maria left
QM and started her new job?
Exactly. Then more relatives
of patients Maria treated
came out of the woodwork with
similar historic complaints.
And presumably, because
it was so long ago,
the hospital records
have been destroyed.
This way.
'The timing seems
a bit convenient.'
Hm. You think
this is the Trust?
It can't be a coincidence.
Hm.
The Trust know we're
in touch. What? How?
You must have said
something to someone.
I-I haven't said anything.
They've warned me
to stop. Stop what?
I referred Rosie to Psychiatry
when she was on the postnatal ward.
The birth was traumatic,
but nobody acknowledged it.
She should have had
a C-section, but...
instead, they went at
her with the forceps,
the ventouse, over
and over again.
And they just
wrote in the notes,
"Normal vaginal delivery,
no complications."
There was nothing normal about
the brutality Rosie experienced.
Rosie wasn't reviewed
by Psychiatry.
If she had been, I would
have seen it in her notes.
SHE SIGHS I knew it.
I knew she'd lied.
Sophia told me to
cancel the referral.
Right. And when I refused, she
came back and said she'd...
she'd been seen and she
was fine to go home.
And then that poor
woman... Christ.
I did so many incident reports.
Management did nothing.
So I-I took my complaints
to the Trust. They...
They threatened to
report me to the NMR
if I didn't drop
it and leave, so...
..I agreed to go.
As soon as I started my new
job, they reported me anyway.
What are they accusing you of?
DOG BARKS
Were you followed?
No, of course not.
My advice is to drop this.
Sophia cancelled that referral.
If she's responsible
for Rosie's death,
we should go and talk
to the MIU together.
It doesn't matter!
There is nothing
the Trust won't do
to protect the
hospital's reputation.
It's all they care about -
not the patients, and
definitely not us.
Just wait...
..till they really
f*ck with your life.
You have no idea who
you're dealing with.
Please, don't contact me again.
KNOCK ON DOOR Come in.
We have a problem.
What now?
I had to rescue Sophia
Hernandez last night.
I told her to prep a
patient for a C-section.
She wasn't confident
doing it, so I came in.
When I arrived, she'd
been going at the baby
with the ventouse and
forceps for far too long.
Please tell me
the baby survived.
Yes, but it's not good.
They're trying therapeutic cooling,
but there's no spontaneous movement.
Absent reflexes. Pupils
fixed and dilated.
If he lives, it's gonna
be very expensive.

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

way that avoids blame.
And in the meantime, let's

her away from the parents
in case she says
something unhelpful.

Maternity were covering
up multiple problems.
And I really think
I'm onto something.
James, I don't wanna hear it.
DOOR OPENS
Morning. Morning.
Earlier this week, you
helped deliver Baby Patel.
Yes, with Mr Mansoor.
Baby Patel's MRI shows a
large subdural haemorrhage
and changes consistent with severe
hypoxic-ischaemic encephalopathy.
It's unlikely he'll recover.
According to the midwife,
you quickly identified
uterine hyper-stimulation
causing foetal hypoxia?
Yes.
So why on earth did you persist
with an assisted vaginal delivery
instead of an emergency Caesarean
like Mr Mansoor told you to?
What?
You wasted nearly
time that could have drastically
changed the outcome for this baby.
The family want us to
investigate what went wrong.
And while we do that,
it would be in your best
interest to take some time off.
You're suspending me?
Not a suspension.
An incident like this will affect
your management of other patients.
A break is essential
for YOUR wellbeing.
Spend time at home, Sophia.
Look after the children.
We know you've struggled to stay on
top of everything since the divorce.
SHE SCOFFS
I don't need time off.
It wasn't my fault.
The foetal heart rate wasn't
being monitored properly,
the midwife didn't want my help,
and I was the one pushing
for a Caesarean, not Arun.
HE SCOFFS
Everyone in theatre
saw you attempt
multiple unsuccessful
pulls on the baby
before Arun arrived and
decided to do a Caesarean.
Take the time off. Let us
complete our investigation.
Then we can decide
what happens next.

stealing from the vending machine.
Make sure you drop by

DOOR CLOSES
JAMES: So, I've
pulled the HR records
of the doctors who had
complaints made against them.
It looks like the two anaesthetists
regularly worked on the labour ward.
Hm. And both junior doctors
did rotations in Obstetrics
shortly before they
were reported to us.
And in this interview transcript,
the anaesthetist claims
he was only reported because he
raised concerns about Obstetrics.
It's the same for the
Cardiology and GP trainees.
Oh, and look at this.
Both anaesthetists were
reported to the MIU by patients
after they met with
Trust representatives.
You think the Trust pushed those
patients to make a complaint?
It's possible.
Right. Contact those doctors, see
if any of them'll speak to you.
I doubt they'll agree.
We're probably their least
favourite organisation.
Use that charm of yours.
Was there something else?
So, I've decided to
meet Liam's parents.
What?
Why on earth would you
do that to yourself?
I think it's the
right thing to do.
It's been, what, four years?
They've been through
all the formal channels.
It hasn't satisfied them.
Whatever they want, you
can't give it to them.
It's just gonna
re-traumatise you all.
They asked, and...
..I think I owe it to them.

I am simply explaining to

E-Even if I was to leave my

there nothing we can do?

It's one I think I'm ready for.
There's just one thing

Where did you get this?
That's not really
what's important.
We are two consenting adults.
This is not a relationship
between equals.
Dr Ford is your trainee, and
he's under investigation.
You gave evidence to
the MIU on his behalf.
Did you lie to protect him?
Of course I didn't.
You're his clinical
supervisor, Kate.
You approve his progression to
the next stage of his career.
How can you possibly do
that with any impartiality
if you're screwing him?
It's not like that.
Oh. It's a serious relationship?
Oh, come on, Eric.
If I was a male consultant

would you be asking me that?
I'm disappointed in you, Kate.

Yeah.
INDISTINCT CHATTER
BUTTONS BEEP, DOOR BUZZES
Hey. Files, please.
Is it just me, or is there a
strange vibe on the ward today?
Everyone knows
about you and James.
I'm sorry, Precious. What?
Aislene saw you together.
I reported you. After her
incident, I had no choice.
And you believed her? A
seriously unwell patient?
Precious, obviously, you
should have come to me first
instead of believing
malicious rumours.
Your actions show a total
ignorance of mental illness,
and quite frankly,
I'm disappointed.
They're not rumours,
Kate. Aislene has photos.
And if anyone should
be disappointed,
it's all of us on Willow Ward
who work so hard to support you
in a job that, quite frankly,
you're not very good at.
DOOR OPENS, CLOSES
This is about Maria
Carter, isn't it?
On the 15th of July,
you visited a nightclub
with one of our inpatients,
Felicity Templeton.
You were in possession of
ecstasy, which she ingested.
Shortly after, Ms Templeton
became extremely unwell,
but instead of bringing her
here, to the nearest A&E...
..you took her several miles
away, to North Yorkshire Hospital,
where you lied to medical staff
and provided a false
name, Toby Tait.
If the story ended there,
it would be serious enough,
but it gets worse.
Ms Templeton is a vulnerable
young woman with bipolar disorder.
The drugs precipitated
a manic episode,
and she was transferred
to Willow Ward...
..where, in order
to prevent your role
in her admission
being discovered,
you then arranged her
transfer to another ward.
Aside from the fact that possession
and supply of class A drugs
is a criminal offence...
I didn't supply any drugs.
..you seem to have forgotten the
basic principle of medicine -
first, do no harm.
You put your career ahead of
this young woman's health.
A decision that could
have proved fatal.
Have you got anything
to say in your defence?
No. I didn't think so.
None of... None of this
would have happened if I...
if I wasn't under investigation.
I beg your pardon?
You've picked apart all my work,
you made me justify every
decision I've had to make.
You have no idea the pressure
that I've been under.
And this all happened
on a night out.
You are a doctor and
representative of this profession,
whether on hospital
premises or not!
Do you know what's
most disappointing?
We were this close to concluding
that you were fit to practise.
What?
S-So you know
about the referral,
so you know what they've
done to Maria Carter?
We're... We're far
beyond that now, Dr Ford.
Your behaviour is something
this trust cannot condone.
And as such, you're suspended
with immediate effect.
But the problem is with Obstetrics,
right, it's not just Rosie.
Take Toni Campbell-Brown,
because Obstetrics
blamed her but used forceps
during her traumatic birth,
and they fractured her baby's
skull, do you know about that?
I've had enough of this.
Please escort Dr Ford
off the premises?
It's fine.
DOOR CLOSES
I'm really glad we're
all on the same page now.
It's all a bit convenient,
isn't it? What do you mean?
Maria being suspended, now Ford.
He made a series of mistakes
that put another young
woman's life in danger.
He made a mistake because
he felt under pressure.
By vilifying him instead of
looking at the bigger picture,
who are we actually protecting?
The Felicity Templetons
of this world? Yes.
But the Trust could be using
this as a way to shift our focus.
We shouldn't let
this distract us
from the wider issues that
are going on in Obstetrics.
What did he mean about them
fracturing Toni's baby's skull?
We need look into
that. PHONE CHIMES
Obstetrics still have
questions to answer.
One of the doctors
agreed to meet us.
Which one?
Dr Armitage, one of
the anaesthetists.
Great. Set that up ASAP, and...
let's just keep pushing the others.
sh*t.
What did they give you?
Was it like a promotion?
A pay rise, maybe?
Kate. Get off!
What was it worth? What was
it worth to ruin my life?
The Trust have photos
of us together.
I didn't have a choice.
I could lose my job.
I covered for you, though, didn't
I? What about me? What about us?
There is no "us". It was just
sex, and I'm sorry it happened.
So go home, get some sleep...
cos you look bloody awful.
