01x03 - Episode 3

[bunniefuu]

I stumbled upon

some articles about your husband.

So, does everyone...

No.

It's none of their business.

I got a place in an APLS course.

The exam starts in three weeks so...

So, the up-skilling begins?

Hey, what did Nate say?

Ah...

Did you forget to call him?

Sorry.

Nate, can you hear me?

She had a clear tension,

so we decompressed,
we inserted a chest drain.

She developed a haemothorax.

We attempted resuscitation
five times, but it was unsuccessful.

Have a ride on this!

What are you doing?

I wanna go home
but nobody will take me.

Oh man...

Yeah.

You having a photo?
Yep, yeah, definitely.

Hey.

How are ya?

Pete.

Where's Taylor?

Inside.

Um...

how is she?

She's...OK.

She just wants
everything to be back to normal.

Hey, mate.

When did you start running?

Every now and then I like
to get my rig around the block.

You don't own any other shorts?

I won a premiership
in these shorts.

I'm gonna go stay
at Kody's house tonight.

We've got homework

and then we're gonna head
up to Wyama tomorrow.

Got a couple of fences
that need straining.

Sure.

Actually, I've got
the day off tomorrow.

Maybe I'll see
you back here then.

Cool.

Can you take it? Thanks.

So, APLS tomorrow.

What time are you leaving?

3:00, straight
to the airport for the 4.

That's cutting it fine, isn't it?

I've been on the waitlist
for six months.

There's no way I'm missing
that flight.

That and he makes
the plane wait for him.

See, I could never
do anything that cool.

Leonie could.

Hey, Wayne.

Heading to Sydney tomorrow?

Yeah, be good to get it over with.

I remember doing my APLS
when I was back at HEMS.

That acid-based balance
section's a k*ller.

If you need a hand...

No, I'm good, thanks.

Don't worry. He's always
like this before an exam.

Ah.

Well, what happens if he fails?

He doesn't.

Dr Harrod.

How far did he fall?

So, it's close to town?

Oh, it's faster to scoop
and run to Adelaide

rather than road him back in.

Oh.

Are you sure it's a broken femur?

It sounds like it.

You're not rostered on.

Yeah, I know.

How's Taylor?

I've...got no clue.

What's happened?

A seven-year-old
and his dad out at Jameson Gorge

when the dad falls.

Kid goes to get help.

Go, kid.

Except he hasn't turned
up yet and he has epilepsy.

Doesn't have his medication on him.

How long's he been missing?

Graham's free.

Do you wanna take a plane up?

Fly a couple of lazy banks
around the search area?

Yeah, I do.

Matty.
Hi.

This is Dr Harrod.

I'm Jo.
Hi.

So, is this your station?

Yeah. Come on.

They've been camping here all week.

I'll take you there.

Ben!

Ben!

That's where he fell from.

What was he doing?

Taking a photo.

Ben!

Ben!

Hi, Nick.

I'm Eliza.

This is Matty.
Hey.

We're gonna help you, OK?

Matty, can you get
up a litre of Hartmann's?

Yeah, copy that.

Have they found...they found Ben?

He has tonic-clonic seizures.

They're going...

He doesn't have his medication.

They're going to find him but right
now we need to look after you first.

Ben!

Now, can you remember,
did you hit your head or pass out?

I don't remember him leaving.

So, any medications or allergies?

I'm on Opdivo, four weekly.

You're in remission?

That's...that's why we're out here.

I promised Ben
we'd...we'd go camping,

as soon as I got better.

That's nice.

My son wouldn't come camping
if I begged him.

We've got a BP up,
94/62, heart rate's 122.

Right.

Can you draw up morphine
one and one

and I'll titrate to effect.

Ben!

Right.

Ben!

Ben!
OK.

You're bleeding heavily
into your leg...

so we need to get you to Adelaide.

But...but that can wait, right?

Until they find him?

You need to be in hospital.

If we wait,

you're going to have
permanent muscle damage...

or worse.

Is there anyone else we can call?

What about Ben's mum?

It's just me.

You won't be leaving him
out here alone.

There's lots of people
out here searching.

Ben!

They won't give up
until they find him.

Ben!

Ben!

Yeah.

Will be OK.

OK, steady.

Steady, steady.

There we go.

It's getting dark.

Just give it a minute.

Hey, I think I've found
something, just there.

Nah...

it's a bonfire.

What does that mean?

Oh, they're calling it.

They light the fire so he can find
his way back in the dark.

Gees, it's gonna be freezing
out there tonight.

Wanna go round again?

Yeah.

It's worth a try.

Sorry.

Cheers.

Alright, come on, pick it up.

I promise they don't get
overnighted that much.

And what was it?

STEMI?

Subdural haematoma?

Fractured femur actually.

You know a bit about medicine.

Yeah.

When both your parents are doctors,

you pick up a few things
over dinner.

You should take that.

Mum?

Did Leonie find you?

Driving me home.

You're in Adelaide?

I'm so sorry.

How was training?

Yeah, yeah, it was good.

Um...

I wanted to be home to talk
to you about this in person,

but...

your dad rang this morning.

The hospital inquiry findings
come out tomorrow.

He'll be in the news again.

Do we have
to talk about this now?

No.

Why don't you call me
when you get home or before bed?

Bye, Mum.

How is she?

Yeah, she's OK.

You know about my dad, don't you?

Well, I read about it online.

It happened a long time ago.

He's not a bad person.

The longer you live,
the more you realise that...

people are rarely good or bad.

We're all just...

trying to do the best we can.

It's hard to get it right.

Anything new?

Oh...

nothing yet.

Apparently it's gonna get down
to three overnight.

Reckon I could steal
a little bit of Eliza's nasi goreng?

I'm gonna say no.

I was gonna ask her.

It's still weird, dude.
You don't know her that well.

It was this or pyjamas.

You packed pyjamas?

Is that not a thing?
We pack for weight, remember.

Nasi goreng looks good.

Mm-hm.

You made the right choice.

So, how's Henry?

I think it'll be easier
when he's made a couple of friends.

Must be tough moving schools
at that age.

It is.

So, why did you move here then?

I mean you're obviously
very well qualified.

Even Wayne's intimidated by you.

He's not.

Yeah, you should have
seen his face

when he didn't get that SM...

I actually don't know
what I'm talking about.

OK, the night you got it,

he may have applied for every
A and E job going.

Oh.

Well, it's...

it's no secret why I'm here.

Or you can Google it if you like.

Oh, oh, I'm kidding.

I'll...I'll tell you.

My husband had an affair.

Not recently. It was years ago.

sh*t, I'm sorry.

Don't be.

Henry was little...

and I had just started at HEMS.

He was sleeping
with his junior registrar...

which is a bit of a cliche really.

I had no idea...

until a couple of months ago

when I got to read about it online,

along with the rest of the world.

She'd come forward during a review.

The hospital has always
had complaints about...

sexism and sexual harassment.

Finally they were doing
something about it.

And...

she kept the text messages.

It was more than just a fling.

He ended it

and she left the hospital.

I mean it's nothing new...

not in medicine.

I just never thought my husband
would be that man.

Wow!

Do you reckon I could
try some of that nasi goreng?

Is that...

Did I read the room on that?

Did...

See you tonight, eh?

Taylor!

Hey, Peter.

Tiana, how are you?

Good.

Brett.
Hey, Pete.

Bit early, mate.

Mark?

Pete, what are you doing here?

I've got the day off.

Thought I'd come and lend a hand.

How's it going? Heard you found
some tracks last night?

We followed them up north
there for a couple hundred metres,

then they disappeared.

Yeah, right.
So, what's up that way?

It's rough country.

Mine shafts, gullies.

I'm taking the first mob out now.

You wanna join us?
Absolutely, mate, yeah.

Hi, this is Pete Emerson.

If I'm out of range,
try me on the sat.

Ben!

Ben!

Ben!

Sorry, Mark...

I better take this.

Eliza?

Sorry to call out of the blue...

I just wanted to ask...

What is it?

It's about what happened...

with us.

About what?

Right, right now?

If you've got time.

Oh, just...

I don't have a whole heap
of battery is all.

Can we do this later?

Oh, yeah, it's fine.

I'll...

I'll call you later.

Alright, thanks.

Sorry about that, mate.

It's alright.

Ben!

We've been meaning
to drop around.

Oh, yeah, no worries.

Ben!

You know I saw him
a couple of days before.

Carla wanted to talk to Rhiannon,

something about the school fete.

Nate and I had a beer.

What did he, um...

What did you talk about?

Usual.

Feed...

rain, or the lack of it.

Yeah.

He seemed pretty good to me.

Ben!

Ben!

Ben!

Ben!

Ben!

Oi, Mark?

How long till we head back
out there?

Give it another 20,
wait till they all rest

and have had something to eat.

Well, what if I went ahead?

Get a jump on that next section?

I don't know.

I've got the sat phone,
if anything happens.

Oi!

Don't get lost.

Right.

Ben!

Tylor?

Hey. What
are you doing right now?

I'm out looking for that kid.

I thought you were coming
out to Wyama.

What? No.

What happened to the girls?

They didn't come.

Right.

Are...are you OK?

Yep, alright.

I'll talk to you later.

It's, uh...

You there?

Ah, sh*t.

Oh, come on, you piece of sh*t.

Wayne, are you getting
updates on the search party?

There's a Robbie
that's gone done at Nellie Nellie.

Have you heard?

What's that?
It's the search party.

A chopper's gone down.

Matty and Eliza have diverted.

They'll be on the strip
in less than an hour.

Yeah, but it'll take them
ages to get in there.

Crash site's almost
inaccessible by road.

You know, if you go,
you're gonna miss your flight.

I can get there quicker.

Wozza.

Mate.

Can't thank you enough, mate.

I can't hang about but.

No worries. Let's go.

Oi!

Hi, I'm Wayne.
I'm a doctor with the RFDS.

What's your name?

Patrick.

Patrick, we're gonna
get you sorted, OK?

I got thrown.

Whereabouts on your body
did you land, Patrick?

Legs.

Did you hit your head?

Got any shade?

Jared, get some shade.

How are you feeling?

I can't...can't breathe...breathe.

You can't breathe?
Can't breathe.

Mmm.

I think you've punctured
your left lung.

I'm gonna get a needle in,
relieve the pressure, OK?

Here we go.

Better?

Heaps.

Where's your radio?
In the ute.

Alright, come round here, mate.

Just stay with him.
Hold that very gently.

If he has a hard time breathing
I want you to yell, OK?

RFDS aircraft,
Mike Quebec Delta, do you copy?

This is Mike Quebec Delta, go ahead.

Hi, it's Wayne.
How're you travelling?

Wheel's down in 15.

Is Eliza there?

I'm here.

How's the patient?

Was thrown from a Robbie
when it crashed.

He's got a tension pneumo,
among other things.

We'll have to get a chest drain in.

Do you want to get him out first?

It's not ideal
but we'll have to do it out here.

Doc!

And I know you're moving
but as fast as you can please.

That's the same as Rhiannon's.

How're you doing?

It's harder.

I'll get another one in.

Mike Quebec Delta, this is Mira.

Better?

Alright, let's try this.

We've just landed at the airstrip.

Leaving as soon as possible.

Yeah?

Any word on that plane?

Just landed.
Leaving the airstrip now.

What do we do now, Doc?

Wait for the cavalry.

Ben!

Ben!

Hello?

Ben?

Ben. Hey, mate.

G'day, mate.

My name's Pete.

I'm here to help you.

You're Ben, aren't you?

You alright?

Let's get you warm.

Have you had any seizures, mate?

You wait here.

Good boy.

You know what the good news is?

We found your dad.

He's gonna be OK.

You're gonna be OK too.

Can you have
a little drink for me?

Nice and slow.

That's it.

Good boy.

It's alright.

No hurry.

Let's just have a camp here
for a second.

You alright?

Never been happier
to see you lot.

Patrick's 38.

He fell 3m, landing on his feet.

The main issue
is a right tension pneumothorax.

A 14 gauge IV provided
some temporary relief

but he needs a chest tube.

He has pain in both feet
and mid-thoracic pain

but I haven't had a chance
to assess him properly.

He's your patient.

OK, Matty, let's get him moved.

Alright,
might sting a little bit.

Good boy.
You're tough, aren't you?

I'm gonna
tell your dad when we see him.

How are you feeling now?

What do you reckon
we try some of your medicine?

Here we go.

Right and nice and slow.

Good boy.

That's alright.

I don't feel good.

You know what?

I think we might have
to walk out of here.

How do you feel
about me carrying you?

Or do you wanna carry me?

Mate, you sure?

'Cause I think you probably could.

Alright.

Alright, on my count.

One, two.

Matty, let's go 25 of IV fentanyl.

Do you want me to give him
local anaesthetic so you can set up?

That'd be great, thanks.

Patrick, we're giving you
something for the pain,

but it won't numb
the lining of your lung, OK.

You'll still feel
some pushing and prodding.

Guys, don't touch anything,

even if it looks like it's gonna
blow away, alright?

Anything I'm not seeing?

Looks pretty textbook to me.

It's getting harder.

Alright, I've got to get in.

Alright, you ready, Patrick?

Clamp?

You got the pleura?

Puncturing it now.

Yeah, I know it hurts, mate,
I know it hurts.

This won't take long.

Right, tube?

There we go.

Want me to close?

That'd be great, thanks.

How we going for time?

Don't know.

Don't they wait for you?

Hey, what are you doing right now?

You alright, mate?

Ben!

Mark!

Oi!

I think he's found him!

Hey.

What happened to the sat phone?

I'm stuffed.

Can we get a Ute, mate?

They've found him.

Copy that. Stay there.

We're sending someone
to get you now.

Shame your exam
wasn't in Adelaide.

We could have dropped you off.

Funny.

How you feeling? You OK?

We're nearly there, mate.

Go back, go back,
that's definitely a clue.

I didn't see anything.
Tommy, did you get it?

What? No, where? Where?

Where?
No, no, no, go back, go back.

Tommy, go back.

OK, OK, alright.

OK, so I'm
heading back, I'm heading back.

Did you say
it was around here somewhere?

Hold on.

Henry, you there?

Mum, where are you?

Heading to Adelaide.

Again?

It's been one of those days.

With any luck
we should be home 9:30, 10:00.

Oh, cool.

I was wondering,

maybe Leonie could stop by
and have dinner with you?

Mum...

You can't be alone
two nights in a row.

I'm not alone.

You're not?
No.

I've really got to go.

I think Henry's got a friend.

Yes!

Tommy, you there?

Tommy?

Tommy, you there?

It's been a while
since I've been up here.

I like it.

You can see the whole town.

Wonder what everyone's doing
with their lives.

Well, what are they doing?

This family,

they're staying up late
to play a board game.

Or this old couple over here...

they're sitting down
to the same meal

they've had every Saturday
for the past...50 years.

This house, she's just
sprung him cheating on her.

Well, she's yelling, "Go, get out!"

And he's screaming,
"No, I still love you!

"Please."

You're sick.

I like the happy stories.

Yeah, well,
happy stories are boring.

How are you?

Everyone keeps asking me that.

I was out at Wyama today.

I kept thinking about how...

if I get lost...

nobody is gonna come find me.

Hey, it's OK.

There's so many people
that would come looking for you.

I'll come looking for you.

I will.

I'm sorry.

No, no, I am...

Taylor?

You're upset.
Don't.

Don't feel sorry for me.

Don't be like everyone else.
I don't feel sorry for you.

Bullshit.

Hey. Sorry about before.

It's fine.

Is now a better time?

Yeah, heaps. What's up?

Well, I...I wanted to ask you

if...if I'd crossed a line with you?

What line?

Well, I'm your boss and we had sex.

We did.

Is this something
we should tell Leonie about?

Why would we do that?

Well, someone
might report it and feel that...

Honestly, I don't think
anyone would be that interested.

Pete...

Eliza?

Eliza, are you there?

I'll call you back.

What, again?
I'll call you back.

Henry.

Henry.

You're a hypocrite.

It wasn't like that.

Pete?

You've done exactly
the same thing as Dad.

Henry, please wait.

Are you and Dad over?

Things with your Dad and I
are complicated, you know that.

But is it over?

I don't...I don't know.

You're lying.

What are you doing?

You will bloody freeze out here.

The stars are out.

Yeah.

Come on, come in.

What do you think happens
when we die?

Um...

I...I don't know.

You don't believe in God?

I don't believe in nothing.

I don't know what I believe in.

Hey, I've been thinking...

why don't we go out
and stay at Wyama for a bit?

You'll come with me?

Yeah, if you want.

Mm.

Everyone keeps saying
I'll be able to feel them but...

I can't feel anything.

I can feel your mum.

Every time I look at you...

she's right here.
