00:00Previously, on Shortland Street.
00:02MedVeters, they want to change all the hospital signage back into English only.
00:06First you've taken away the MPC and now you're gunning for Waitireo itself.
00:09I'm just doing my job, and people everywhere seem to have a problem with that.
00:12People are going to have feelings about this.
00:14To fill the gap left by the MPC, I'm looking at running weekend clinics instead.
00:17I can assure you, the clinic will not be happening.
00:20Jocelyn Kellerman has a skin infection.
00:22Oh yeah, that looks sore. How long has it been like that for?
00:24A while. I just don't get why she let it get this bad.
00:27I don't think you're being intentionally biased.
00:29I just think you don't know what it's like to live in a bigger body.
00:31Crap, she's in VF.
00:39We need to move quickly here.
00:41Charging stand clear.
00:44Damn it, it's still in VF.
00:45What do you think's going on with her?
00:47Honestly, I don't know.
00:48The septis could be enough to overwhelm her.
00:50Or it could be a clot.
00:51You're asking me?
00:52I'm just thinking out loud.
00:53You'd better figure it out quickly. Jocelyn's running out of time.
00:58Come on.
01:09What was that?
01:10What was what?
01:11You setting up an unsanctioned clinic with Esther behind my back.
01:14Unsanctioned? It's not an underground drug ring.
01:16It's a volunteer clinic. People who care about these communities...
01:18Unlike me, your racist evil girlfriend.
01:20I don't think you're racist or evil.
01:22This isn't personal.
01:24Exactly, Naz.
01:26Look, there are limited resources.
01:28And it is my job to allocate those resources fairly.
01:30What's going on here? We talked about this.
01:32I thought you'd at least heard me.
01:33And did you not hear me?
01:35This is not my decision, okay?
01:36I am just doing my job.
01:38So after everything we talked about, you're not...
01:40It is my job.
01:41It is my job to look at both sides of the equation.
01:44To look at the bigger picture.
01:45And to see who it is benefiting and who it is not.
01:48I'm asking you to consider the fact that you can use your role to do some good here.
01:52Right.
01:53As long as it fits your narrative.
01:56Look, I know what's right here, Mon.
01:58And it's not this.
02:03Yes, okay, yes.
02:05Let me know when it's done. Thank you.
02:10Oh.
02:11I'm just preparing myself because you've got that, um, look.
02:15Yeah? So what's the plan?
02:17Margaritas. Maybe a mini-mini.
02:20I can see how angry you are, but I've had IT on the phone...
02:24And I've just been told that the new signs have been defaced.
02:26Amended.
02:27You know about this.
02:28I came here to talk about Monique shutting down our volunteer clinic.
02:32Yeah, I thought we had her on site.
02:35So, what are we gonna do?
02:37What can we do?
02:38Seriously, all this again, my hands are tied.
02:41Jesus, Esther, what would Dad say?
02:43I'm not saying any of this is okay, but...
02:45I don't think Uncle TK could do anything about it either.
02:48If he was here, which he's not.
02:49No, so we should be fighting this.
02:51I've got your back, Esther.
02:52Just let me know what you need.
02:55I can push back against the board,
02:57but Medford TAS have all the power and we need to choose our battles.
03:00Yes, we do, so pick this one.
03:02I may be as upset about it as you are, honestly,
03:05and I will find a way to get us back on track.
03:07Cool sound bites.
03:08If you won't stand up for this and do the right thing, I will.
03:1729, 30.
03:1830.
03:19Clear.
03:20Come on, Jocelyn.
03:23I can sign this with him, thank God for that.
03:25Good work.
03:26What's your plan now?
03:27I think we finish the department.
03:29You think Jocelyn's up to it?
03:31I'll monitor her for a moment.
03:33Do we need a call drill in here?
03:34No.
03:35Look, I don't know if she's up to it, but I want to give her a fighting chance,
03:38so we push on.
03:39It's the least she deserves.
03:40Exactly.
03:41So let's get back to work.
03:45Look at this lettuce.
03:46Limp as.
03:47Can you just either eat it or take it back?
03:50Standards are slipping, Harper, all around us.
03:52Yeah, well, I don't think the cafeteria is anyone's top priority right now.
03:56Well, it shows.
03:57Hey, Billy.
03:58Hey, what's up?
03:59How do you rate the cafe these days?
04:01Well, it's open, unlike the NPC.
04:05Why are you thinking of doing a social club thing there?
04:07No.
04:09I've come to think of it, we are long on due.
04:11I thought Thaddeus had planned out the whole year ahead.
04:14Oh, snore.
04:15We want to do something exciting.
04:17How about a boys' night?
04:19What about all the female members?
04:20No, not the social club.
04:21Just, like, the lads.
04:23Right, so you can just all hang out and moan about subpar sandwiches.
04:26So we can talk guys' stuff without having to worry about what we say.
04:29You in?
04:30I'm in.
04:31Who else?
04:32Māori?
04:33Nasa?
04:34Thad?
04:35Yeah, sure.
04:36Oh, what about Emmett?
04:37Really?
04:38Then at least you'll know he's not with me.
04:39Was that necessary?
04:40You know what I'm talking about, right, Billy?
04:41No, Emmett has mentioned it.
04:42Can't stop crowing about it either, I bet.
04:44Best compliment he ever got.
04:47But why don't you clear the air and invite him?
04:49Well, I would, except he's a dick.
04:52And?
04:53He's a smart-ass.
04:54He's full of himself.
04:55Oh, he'll fit right in there, won't he?
04:59Hey, want a sandwich?
05:07Hey.
05:08I didn't text you so I could apologise.
05:10OK.
05:12And I'm not expecting an apology from you either.
05:16So what is this?
05:17I'm mad.
05:18Mon, I don't think we should get into this again.
05:20No, neither do I.
05:23I am pissed, but I still like you.
05:25I like you too.
05:26And I'm into you.
05:27As am I, obviously, but...
05:29Look, we're on opposite sides of this work thing,
05:31but I feel like we can figure our way through this eventually, right?
05:34I want to.
05:35Good.
05:36Because if it weren't for this work drama, we would still be in our honeymoon phase.
05:40What do you mean?
05:41Like going to restaurants.
05:42Weekends away.
05:44Ripping each other's clothes off.
05:46Every chance we get.
05:47OK, now you have my attention.
05:49Good.
05:50Because I was thinking if we just focus a little less on our differences
05:54and a bit more on our common interests.
05:58A little more honeymooning.
06:01Exactly.
06:13She's still relying heavily on the vent.
06:16CT report shows an embolism in her left lung.
06:19No wonder she needs so much vent support.
06:22But otherwise, she's doing well, I see.
06:26Temp's come down a little.
06:28Still tachycardic, though.
06:30We're doing everything we can for her, Selina.
06:32Yeah, now.
06:34Meaning?
06:35Meaning if you hadn't wasted so much time making Jocelyn's infection her own fault,
06:40then she wouldn't be in this mess.
06:42And maybe if Jocelyn had taken some personal responsibility
06:45and gone to the GP a month ago, she could have saved herself.
06:47You're never going to admit it, are you?
06:48Admit what?
06:49That you have no culpability at all in this.
06:52That you're just here picking up the pieces for the poor fat lady.
06:54I'm not minimising how difficult it is to prioritise your own health.
06:57Yeah, but you never had a problem doing it, so why should anyone else?
07:00I don't need personal experience of everything to be able to give medical advice.
07:03Are you dumb or just determined to be ignorant?
07:06Excuse me?
07:07Look, if someone is telling you their lived experience like I am now, you listen.
07:10I'm listening.
07:11No, you're not. You're waiting for your turn to talk and tell me that I'm wrong.
07:15You will never see it.
07:17See what?
07:18All of this. It's on you.
07:21Excuse me.
07:23Emma, there's a group of us guys going out tonight.
07:26A couple of drinks, nothing too messy.
07:29I am, and?
07:31You're welcome to come along, if you want.
07:34Oh, right, so I'm forgiven, am I?
07:36For trying to steal your woman.
07:38We both know that didn't happen.
07:39Still feel threatened, though.
07:41Do you want to come or not?
07:42You serious?
07:43Yeah, why not?
07:45I mean, I don't know.
07:47I mean, I don't know.
07:49You serious?
07:50Yeah, why not?
07:52Okay.
07:54Thanks. Cheers.
07:56I'm not shutting you down, I'm simply asking you to trust me.
07:59How can I?
08:00Okay, how about you focus on being the amazing doctor that you are and let me do my job.
08:04I haven't given up, okay?
08:06But trust that I know more than you about how this works.
08:08And any talking to the board, it has to come from me.
08:10Just make sure that we...
08:11Your argument's clear.
08:13I've got this.
08:14Give me a chance.
08:20See, you've got to admit, this is a lot more fun than arguing, right?
08:24Definitely.
08:25I don't make a habit of doing this work.
08:26I didn't know what I was missing out on.
08:28So I am bringing out your inner rule breaker.
08:30I like it.
08:31Me too.
08:33I just, I don't want us to forget how great it is when it's just us.
08:38Yeah.
08:40So, should we continue this tonight?
08:44We can do dinner, then my place.
08:46Tonight, we can do dinner, then my place.
08:48I can make a reservation.
08:50Actually, I think, I mean, if it's okay, I think we should just take some time.
08:55I need to think.
08:57Right.
08:58No, no, this was great.
09:01Sure.
09:02I'm not explaining this very well.
09:03We just seem to be lurching from one fight to the next.
09:06I'm going to disagree with the image of lurching anyway, but no, I get it.
09:12No, I just mean I need some time to just get my head straight.
09:18Is that all right?
09:19Of course, yeah.
09:21Whatever you need.
09:33Okay, Whitmer, you've got some adrenaline on the board now.
09:36You should be feeling better soon.
09:38Do you know what caused the reaction?
09:41I'm just going to have a listen to your chest, all right?
09:47Do you often find yourself wheezing?
09:50Just sit forward, it'll make it easier to breathe.
09:54Okay.
09:56We're going to need that nebuliser as well.
09:59Do you have your inhaler for your asthma?
10:02Asthma?
10:03You've not been diagnosed with asthma?
10:05He doesn't have a GP at the moment.
10:07Well, seeing a GP could have stopped you from ending up here.
10:10I've got behind.
10:12Couldn't make a new appointment until the bill was paid.
10:14When was the last time you saw a doctor?
10:16A year.
10:17Too long.
10:18I'll be right.
10:19Put that mask back on, okay, Whitmer?
10:21I'll be back soon.
10:25So what can we do?
10:28This ventilator is doing all the breathing work
10:31so Jocelyn can get all the rest she needs.
10:34You can hold her hand and talk to her if you want.
10:37She can hear me?
10:38Yeah, of course she can.
10:40Dr Grayson, this is Rob, Jocelyn's husband.
10:43Hi, Rob.
10:44I'll be back in a moment to talk through Jocelyn's care,
10:47but I just need to have a quick word with Selina first.
10:50Okay.
10:51I'm going to have a look at your chest.
10:54I'll be back in a moment to talk through Jocelyn's care,
10:56but I just need to have a quick word with Selina first.
10:59I'll just be outside, Rob.
11:01If you need me, just yell.
11:08Brought the boss.
11:09Must be serious.
11:10Phil's called me to make sure nothing gets misconstrued.
11:13I see.
11:14While I appreciate your passion for patient advocacy,
11:17I feel like in this case it's proving more of a hindrance
11:19than anything else.
11:20So you want me to just shut up and do as I'm told?
11:23I don't want you to do that.
11:24Which is why I've spoken to Drew,
11:26and he agrees that it's best if you take a step back from Jocelyn's case.
11:29Truth is, I need you in theatre.
11:31You know me, I only want the best.
11:33Don't try to sugarcoat this.
11:34We both know what's going on here.
11:36I just want the best care possible for Jocelyn.
11:38Stop.
11:39And just don't let her down.
11:48Okay.
11:49I don't mean to pry.
11:50Yes, you do.
11:51One the clock hookup is crazy, but I'm here for it.
11:53Continue.
11:54There's nothing else to say.
11:55He just ran out.
11:57That's pretty brutal.
11:58Yeah, well, serves me right for offering him an olive branch.
12:00Should have whacked him with it instead.
12:02You should message him that.
12:03That'll definitely get you back on track.
12:05I'm not messaging him.
12:07He's the one that came up with the flimsy excuse and failed.
12:10You're really worried, aren't you?
12:11No, I'm not worried.
12:13He just needs one night to figure things out.
12:16He just wants to make sure you're both not going to say things
12:18that you're going to regret.
12:19It's hard being together and working around each other.
12:21Sorry, why are you talking sense?
12:23Just let me vent.
12:24Because I'm a really good friend.
12:25No, a really good friend would just tell me that I'm right
12:27and just let me feel rightfully wronged.
12:29You know, I'm always going to tell you what I really think.
12:31Okay, he's regrouping.
12:33Okay, you didn't have this effect on people.
12:35Just let him have his boys' night and then just see where you're both at.
12:38Oh, sorry.
12:40Come again?
12:41What?
12:42Boys' night.
12:43Oh.
12:44He stood me up for boys' night.
12:46Technically, he didn't stand you up.
12:48No, no, no.
12:49He's a bastard.
12:50I get it.
12:54So, what are we drinking to?
12:55Peace.
12:56And love.
12:57And good health outcomes for all.
12:58Lovely and dry balls.
13:00Thanks, Marty.
13:01You can drink double.
13:02If I have to.
13:03Cheers.
13:04Hey, fellas.
13:05Hey, you made it.
13:07Oh, no, what have I just walked into?
13:09Is this some kind of sensitive men's club?
13:11No.
13:12Tonight is about chilling out and cheering up.
13:15Right, guys?
13:16Chilling out and cheering up.
13:18One more beer.
13:19Thank you, sir.
13:20We don't do this enough.
13:21And tonight is about us.
13:22OK?
13:23Wives, girlfriends, significant others.
13:24They're off the table.
13:25Oh, so leaving the missus out of it.
13:27Have I missed something?
13:29And that leaves us with what?
13:31Work stories?
13:32I don't know.
13:33Sport.
13:34Comedy.
13:35Gardening.
13:36Just no relationship talk.
13:37All right?
13:39Sign that drink.
13:43I'll be back with those details, OK?
13:45I'm sure we give you the right medication
13:47so you don't end up back in here.
13:50It's a bit risky, isn't it?
13:52Signposting a patient to the appropriate services?
13:55Hardly.
13:56Giving details to a clinic that doesn't exist.
13:58I thought you were on board.
14:01Monique shut us down.
14:02Oh, did she?
14:03Yes, and your optimism is no substitute for the facts.
14:07Oh, please bestow your wisdom.
14:09Giving a patient false hope
14:11just leads to more unmet expectations down the line.
14:14Giving false hope?
14:15Last time I checked, Monique doesn't run this hospital.
14:17Well, neither do you.
14:18Maybe not, but I know the woman who does.
14:21Esther still has to answer to others.
14:23You can't just conjure a clinic out of thin air.
14:25Look, I know it's tough watching others succeed
14:28where you chose to give up,
14:30but don't be bitter about it.
14:32I am a realist,
14:33and I wouldn't call overpromising to a vulnerable patient success.
14:37Actually, you're the former CEO
14:39and not really in the position to be dishing out advice.
14:42I'm trusting Esther.
14:43She knows how to get things done.
14:48Dammit.
14:50Bad news?
14:52Right, yep, none of my business.
14:55Jocelyn's cultured a multi-resistant organism.
14:58Crap, so...
15:00the antibiotics we've been using have been useless?
15:03Yeah, I'm waiting for a call back from Infectious Diseases.
15:06Hopefully they have a magic wand in their toolkit.
15:09If not...
15:10Then Jocelyn has to fight this on her own.
15:12I'm sorry, I've done everything else I can think of.
15:17Great.
15:18Now your brother's icing me out.
15:20My brother is his own man.
15:22Can't I even told him that you kicked me off Jocelyn's case?
15:25Which was a dick move, by the way.
15:27So was blaming me for her being so sick.
15:29You were insensitive, can you see that?
15:31You can see it, right?
15:33Yeah, but it doesn't mean I made her sick.
15:35Yeah, whatever.
15:36Selina.
15:37Look.
15:39You're not perfect,
15:40but I'm not going to blame systemic fatphobia on one person.
15:43That's a relief.
15:44I just want her to be okay.
15:46So do I.
15:47Which is why it was wrong for me to kick you off her case.
15:50I need you and so does Jocelyn.
15:53I thought you'd never ask.
15:54Let's go.
16:03Hey, so you and Miss Strutter, are we talking seriously serious?
16:06Please, please tell me I didn't ruin things for you.
16:09How's that?
16:10I put my foot in it and waded in where I didn't need to be, which...
16:13Oh my God, I'm doing it again right now.
16:14You didn't even get to answer the question.
16:16Yeah, Naz, what's up?
16:17What's wrong? Are you guys even serious, mate?
16:19Well, um...
16:20Well, uh, you want to be careful.
16:23As what's up.
16:24Things will get complicated very quickly.
16:26Well, of course, but they could also turn out better than you could ever have imagined.
16:30I mean, I'm speaking for myself, of course, but Madonna and I...
16:32Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's great,
16:34but Naz has been trying to answer the question for the last five minutes.
16:37Have I?
16:38I just want to say I really am so sorry if I mess things up for you.
16:44You've already said that, Marty.
16:46What?
16:47Oh, my, Viliami, I'm so sorry.
16:50I've been going on about me and Madonna,
16:52and I momentarily blanked that you two had been married.
16:54You're too mean, mate.
16:55No, I'm completely sober, but I have been soaking up the atmos,
16:58which is decidedly boozy.
17:00I'm so sorry, Viliami.
17:02You were all good, mate. I'm glad you guys are happy,
17:04but I think Naz was trying to say something.
17:08Um, well, Monique and I, um, I think we...
17:11Naz.
17:12Mate.
17:13Marty.
17:14Shh.
17:15I'm quite drunk.
17:16Yeah, I know.
17:19Um, the thing with Monique is that...
17:22Hold on, man. Hold on.
17:25This is relationship talk, which is good,
17:29but some of us don't want to talk about that stuff
17:32and I've specifically got everyone here tonight to do not that.
17:37You're the boss!
17:39Damn right, Marty, and you're the only one in my good books
17:42cos you're the only one who's drinking.
17:44That's discriminatory against non-drinkers, truth.
17:46You're a vibes man, so you're OK,
17:48but the rest of you need to keep up.
17:51Drink up! Enough of this love life shit!
17:56Ah.
18:00Thanks, Cath. I'm on my way to review now.
18:03Any magic wands?
18:05Not exactly.
18:06Cath suggested a few things,
18:08but agrees that Jocelyn has to do the heavy lifting.
18:14It's with the boys.
18:16Ah.
18:17And I've already texted him and told him to drop the cold shoulder.
18:21I can't fault Billy's loyalty.
18:23Yeah, Billy's a ride or die,
18:25and he's the kind of guy that falls hard.
18:28I get it. Hurt my brother and I'll make it look like an accident.
18:32LAUGHTER
18:35Perfect. I was just about to page you.
18:38Why? What's going on?
18:39She's hypertensive.
18:40Have you pushed more Mauread?
18:42I've maxed her out already and her urine output is dropping.
18:45Her kidneys are packing in.
18:47OK, start a continuous vancomycin infusion
18:49and I'll call Reno for an urgent review.
18:51I'll set up the bank.
18:53Selena, I'm not giving up.
18:56Me neither.
19:05Hey, is he OK?
19:07He's asleep.
19:08You reckon we can get some water in to him?
19:10Nah, he's all right.
19:12He's probably exhausted from all those kids of his.
19:15Mm-hm. Seemed like he had a bit of a bone to pick with his wife too.
19:20You don't think I made that worse, do you?
19:22Well, with your relentless ribbing,
19:24you probably could do with dialling that back a bit.
19:26You know what, Thad? You are a brave man.
19:29I don't think enough people see that about you.
19:31Well, I wouldn't exactly call myself that,
19:34but I appreciate the vote of confidence.
19:37I do think finding my courage with Madonna is certainly paying dividends.
19:41Oh, my God.
19:42Nas, you never said. You and Monique.
19:45You love her?
19:47Oh, my God, you do.
19:49I never said that.
19:50It's all over your face, you and...
19:53From one man in love to another.
19:56I can see it, plain as day.
19:58That's awesome, mate.
19:59You think?
20:00Yeah, I know.
20:01What are you doing here, man?
20:02What?
20:03Hanging out with a sad lot.
20:05I'm actually very happy, Emmett.
20:07You go and get your girl, man.
20:09What, right now?
20:10Yeah, tell you you love her.
20:12Tonight?
20:13Yeah, get out of here.
20:15It's really rude to say, but I am loving this.
20:18You think she'll like it?
20:19Tell her.
20:20Tell her.
20:21Tell her.
20:22Tell her.
20:23Tell her.
20:24Tell her.
20:27Okay, okay, okay, you seem completely unbothered.
20:30It must be the lighting in here.
20:33I'm telling you, I'm over him.
20:35I'm over it.
20:36If he's got a problem with strong women, then that's on him, not me.
20:39Sure, I totally believe that you're over it
20:41and you want nothing more to do with him.
20:42Honestly, Sage, and it's better this way.
20:44As soon as something gets serious with a man, it falls to pieces.
20:47You're such a drama queen.
20:48No, I am not.
20:50It's facts, Sage.
20:51As soon as I'm all in with a guy, he'll up and die
20:55or he'll go marry the love of his life
20:57or he'll go road trip across America.
20:59Yeah, no, I take it back.
21:00You're not a drama queen at all.
21:02I'm going to tell him.
21:03Wait, what?
21:04Yeah, yeah, yeah.
21:05He should hear it from me.
21:06No, we can't.
21:07Mont, you can't go tell him now.
21:08You need to think about this.
21:12Nice.
21:13Oh my God, she's a witch.
21:15I love you.
21:24What?
21:26Good night, Sage.
21:32Hey, I'll pass.
21:33Sorry to get you up.
21:34It's okay.
21:35Oh, Drew.
21:36Was he really messy?
21:38Oh, not really, but he does seem a bit off.
21:42Is he okay?
21:43I'm fine.
21:44Um, thanks, Lily.
21:45I'll get him assessed.
21:46Need a hand getting him upstairs?
21:48It's okay.
21:49All right, then.
21:50Good night.
21:51Take it easy, mate.
21:53Night.
22:01Hi, fam.
22:04Tell me you're going to be okay.
22:09I'm...
22:15I'm so sorry.
22:19I'm so, so sorry.
22:38I'm so sorry.
