00:00Previously on Shortland Street.
00:02This is Anna and her Nana Helen.
00:04She's visiting while Anna's parents are away.
00:06Do you have any cheese?
00:07What's happening?
00:08With no travel insurance, I just don't have that kind of cash.
00:11We can do better than that.
00:12I couldn't help but notice that is an extremely high dose.
00:15For a child?
00:16Well, thanks for your advice, but as her doctor, it's the dose I think is appropriate.
00:20I'm worried he's slipped.
00:21Well, he's hardly going to use blood pressure meds to get high.
00:24Are you trying to get us both fired? Take the hospital?
00:26How else was I supposed to help her?
00:27You won't be able to help anyone if you're fired.
00:29No word from Evita's.
00:30They want to change all the hospital signage back into English only.
00:33If you think I'm going to stand by and let this happen, you've got another thing coming.
00:35She was upset.
00:36Fair enough.
00:37I'm just trying to do my job.
00:38I know, but that language is part of Esther's identity.
00:40She can't help but take this personally.
01:00Firing me is not the way to deal with this.
01:02For the hospital or for you?
01:04For anyone.
01:05Look, I get that you're angry.
01:06Oh, do you?
01:07Of course.
01:08But you still did it.
01:09That's the thing.
01:10It was a life or death situation.
01:12It's a hospital.
01:13It's what we work in.
01:15There are rules for a reason.
01:17There are systems for a reason.
01:19I did what I had to do.
01:20OK, then.
01:21Stuff me in my position, never mind how it compromises me.
01:24No.
01:25But if you think your position is more important than the hospital,
01:28if you think your position is more important than a patient's life,
01:31then...
01:32Then what?
01:33Well, don't hold back, Marty.
01:36The power's gone to my head,
01:37and I don't give a shit about the little people anymore.
01:39Is that what you think?
01:48Hey.
01:49Nope.
01:50Sorry?
01:51I don't work here, and I shouldn't be here.
01:53It's OK.
01:55You don't want to see me anywhere.
01:56I know what you think of me.
01:57That I'm some blundering, inadvertently racist board minion.
02:00Actually, I'm an advertently racist board minion, which is so much worse.
02:03I would never say those things.
02:04Please don't put words in my mouth.
02:06Why not?
02:07I'm putting English words in everyone's mouth, so why not yours?
02:09You don't sound happy about it.
02:11I'm fine about it.
02:12I'm all for clarity.
02:13Right.
02:14Because you sound kind of confused.
02:16Clarity in-house.
02:17And as you can see, I'm clearly very busy.
02:27Hey.
02:28Hey.
02:29Hey.
02:30You tidied up.
02:32You know you don't have to.
02:33I've got to make myself useful.
02:34Nick, you know that I never mean to make you feel left out.
02:35Hey.
02:36Look, I shouldn't have said anything.
02:37It's pathetic.
02:38No, it's not.
02:39Honey, if that's how you feel, then it's good that I know, so I can make things better.
02:40Can we just stop talking?
02:41No.
02:42No.
02:43No.
02:44No.
02:45No.
02:46No.
02:47No.
02:48No.
02:49No.
02:50No.
02:51No.
02:52No.
02:53No.
02:54No.
02:55No.
02:56No.
02:57No.
02:58No.
02:59No.
03:00No.
03:01No.
03:02No.
03:03No.
03:04No.
03:05No.
03:06No.
03:07No.
03:08No.
03:09No.
03:10No.
03:11No.
03:12Stop talking about it.
03:13I'm fine.
03:14I'm not a baby.
03:15Cassie is the kid here.
03:16I get it.
03:17Yeah, but that doesn't mean you don't get it.
03:18And I'm just getting used to my kid being away.
03:19So, sorry.
03:20Nick, you don't need to be sorry.
03:21Well, I am.
03:22I am.
03:23OK?
03:24Can we just leave it?
03:25Yeah, I'm going to be gone by now.
03:26Loose ends and then I'm back to ED.
03:27Sure I can't swear you with a success story?
03:30Jasmine Russell made a full recovery.
03:32That's great, but I just can't handle the emotional roller coaster of it all.
03:36And ED's not a roller coaster?
03:37Well, it's a roller coaster that I can handle.
03:39Maybe it's the speed of it that works in my favor, but it's like,
03:42sitting with these kids and getting to know them, and then...
03:46Anyway, I've made my decision, so loose ends.
03:49Well, if you change your mind...
03:51I won't.
03:53Hey, have you seen Monique?
03:55Yeah, charging around, tearing down signs.
03:58Yeah, she's pretty touchy about it.
04:00Well, it fully sucks, and I hate it.
04:02You do too, but it's awkward because she's your girlfriend.
04:04I try not to mix work and personal.
04:06Yeah, but it does affect you personally.
04:08It's giving toxic workplace vibes,
04:10and honestly, I would have expected better from her.
04:13But I'm not going to insult myself, for I'm not needed.
04:16I'm going to get the hell off the paediatric floor
04:18before you show me another cute and yet tragic case.
04:22It's clearly a staph infection,
04:25and I don't think it's a huge ass to deal with it while she's here.
04:29Phil's trying to get through a set list.
04:31Well, that's great, but would you rather deal with it now
04:34or in a few days when Jocelyn comes back through ED and florencepsis?
04:40Good point.
04:42You paged?
04:43Tell me about Jocelyn Calliman.
04:45She's obese, she presented for a LITS,
04:48and she also has a skin infection
04:50caused by the folds of her skin rubbing together.
04:52And Selena came to you expressing concerns for a patient?
04:55I'm certain that a GP can deal with minor skin infection.
04:58Minor? So you have a sister.
05:00Seen a spot?
05:02Well, no, not yet. I've been busy.
05:04When a senior nurse comes to you with a concern, you investigate it.
05:07I would have thought you'd have learned that lesson by now.
05:09Sorry.
05:11Don't say sorry, Phil. Just do your job.
05:13I'll go see her now.
05:19Oh, what fresh hell is this?
05:22Well, it's the latest from our delightful shareholders.
05:26I suppose people can't read English if there's Maori next to it.
05:30God forbid someone has to roll an O.
05:33You ever feel like there's just no point fighting,
05:35like there's a trap waiting around every corner?
05:38Sorry, that was unprofessional.
05:40Well, good, cos I feel that way sometimes.
05:42But then I remember our tupuna didn't fight centuries for us to give up.
05:47Yeah, that's a good point.
05:48I make them sometimes.
05:50I'm glad you're back.
05:52I think I'm going to need your Mike Warner right now.
05:54Don't give up. You're a powerful wahine Maori.
05:57Never forget that.
06:00Let's grab a coffee.
06:06If you want to have a go, you've got ten minutes.
06:08I'm not here to have a go. I want us to talk properly.
06:10OK.
06:11I don't want to fight.
06:12Neither do I.
06:13But I am just doing my job.
06:15And people everywhere seem to have a problem with that.
06:17People are going to have feelings about this.
06:19Yeah, of course they are.
06:20But thinking I'm single-handedly responsible for banning te reo,
06:23that's just ridiculous.
06:24No, but you have to see where people are coming from.
06:26This is a massive step backwards,
06:27and to not see it's indicative of a shift in thought.
06:29I thought you weren't going to have a go.
06:31I wanted you to hear me out.
06:32OK, well, this is not the time or the place.
06:34I thought I had two minutes.
06:35You did. Bear over.
06:40I think Selena is right.
06:42It looks like a staph infection to me.
06:44Not a big deal.
06:45I'll write a script for some antibiotics.
06:48In the future, your GP can probably deal with this sort of thing.
06:52Of course.
06:53Sorry for wasting your time.
06:55Your weight does make you prone to these sort of infections,
06:57so I would recommend a medicated body wash as well.
07:00Of course. Thank you.
07:08Phil.
07:10Did you really have to add the dick about her weight?
07:13What?
07:14She's already embarrassed. Could you not see that?
07:16I don't think it was necessary for you to shame her out.
07:19Selena, it's an infection from the folds of her skin rubbing together.
07:21I'm just stating the facts.
07:23I think we should keep her in.
07:24Why?
07:25Give her a couple of doses of IV antibiotics.
07:27Give her a kick-start at really tackling that infection.
07:31She doesn't need admission.
07:33Would you say that if she wasn't fat?
07:35Excuse me?
07:36I'm just asking if you would recommend the treatment
07:38if Jocelyn was in a smaller body.
07:40Someone in a smaller body wouldn't have an issue like this.
07:43That's exactly what I thought you'd say.
07:50Kapai.
07:51Thanks.
07:54Kia ora.
07:55There he is.
07:56I was hoping to catch you. I've been wracked with guilt.
07:58You have?
07:59I never should have cast dispersions on Marty.
08:02It was awful of me to think he'd relapsed.
08:04You had concerns?
08:05You came to me as a colleague and a friend.
08:07That's hardly awful.
08:08Marty's worked so hard on his recovery.
08:11True.
08:12He's been so determined to rid himself of his demons,
08:15for you and for the kiddies.
08:17He has, hasn't he?
08:20Obviously, I'll offer him my apologies as well.
08:22I just wanted to let you know how deeply I regret my misstep.
08:25If there's ever anything I can do to make it up to you...
08:28You're a good man, Thaddeus.
08:30It means a lot, coming from you.
08:38Ka kite.
08:51Your bath?
08:54So I'm cooking with a recipe.
08:58Okay.
09:00And Cassie's out for the night.
09:03Did you say something to her?
09:05Yeah, I told her to leave and never come back.
09:07No, she was going out anyway.
09:10But I have been thinking that...
09:12maybe it'd be nice for us to have some nights where she's out.
09:15Make it a regular thing.
09:17Right, so kick her out on a schedule?
09:20Basically, yeah. Every fifth night, just shove her out the door.
09:23We can't afford date nights.
09:25We don't have to go out.
09:27We stay in, yeah?
09:28We light some candles, we drink some wine, cheap wine.
09:31And then we pretend to watch some really cheesy movie,
09:34but really, we just... we just make out.
09:39You're being so lovely. I've been such a dick.
09:42Oi! No, you haven't.
09:44Honey, I hate that you've been feeling so lonely when I am right here.
09:48But you have to keep telling me how you're feeling...
09:51before it gets all yucky.
09:53I can't fix it if I don't know.
09:56Okay. Bob the Builder.
10:00Well, you know you don't have to worry about Cassie, right?
10:03About money, or feeling like she's more important to me than you.
10:07She's the mother of your grandchild.
10:10That doesn't make you chop liver.
10:12You, Mac, are my wife.
10:16And you're gorgeous. And you're amazing.
10:19And you need to remember that.
10:22I have to... do the... thing.
10:27I'll light the candles.
10:30Hey. I love you.
10:34Love you too, Bob.
10:39I hope you can forgive my ill-advised suspicions.
10:42You could have come to me first, instead of going straight to Esther.
10:45Yeah, I suppose, but...
10:47You didn't want to aggravate the junkie, who might do something and lash out.
10:50No, that's not... Oh, dear.
10:52Oh, dear, I've made a muddle of this.
10:54Look, it's okay.
10:56No, it's not. You're right.
10:58I went running to Esther when she's already got so much on her plate,
11:01and then when I apologised for it, she took the time to be so gracious,
11:04even though, I must say, she appeared rather despondent.
11:07I am, as the kids say, the worst.
11:10Thaddeus, it's fine. You're forgiven.
11:14When you say Esther seemed despondent...
11:16This attack on Tyrael must...
11:19I can only imagine how it's hurting her,
11:21and yet she's trying to keep it all together for the rest of us.
11:24A remarkable woman.
11:29All done. Yep.
11:31Thank you. I hope you didn't get too much grief.
11:33All good.
11:35Kia ora.
11:37Oh, sorry. Did I hurt your ears?
11:39Don't be like that. Don't you be like that.
11:41Just be nice, or go.
11:43I'm sorry, I just don't get it.
11:45You know, I'm usually team mum, but this just feels really uncool.
11:47She's just doing her job, Sage.
11:49Yeah, well, I'm just saying a job where you have to do that
11:51shouldn't be a job that you want.
11:53There's a time and place to say this,
11:56and after a long day of animosity from ex-colleagues,
11:58maybe this isn't it.
12:00OK, whatever. I'm getting up high.
12:04You've changed your tune.
12:06I still think what I think about the whole issue
12:08and would like to discuss it with you further in the future,
12:10calmly, but today.
12:12Right now, I would like to offer you dinner
12:14in a friendly face.
12:16I don't deserve that.
12:18You've been trying really hard to compartmentalise,
12:20and I haven't made it easier.
12:22I should, because that's how I work.
12:25You are the compartmentalising queen.
12:29Well, I wouldn't put it like that,
12:31but I'll happily accept the crown.
12:33Ready to get out of here?
12:35Please.
12:37And then she basically called me a fat phobic monster.
12:39Really?
12:41That's pretty harsh.
12:43Right? I mean, it's not my fault that Jocelyn's overweight,
12:45and that's the cause of her issues.
12:47Well, not all of her issues.
12:49Not to mention, Selena went over my head to Drew.
12:51It's like the last thing I need right now.
12:54She must have felt pretty strongly about it.
12:56Can you be on my side here?
12:58Well, she's my sister.
13:00I had a million things to do.
13:02I didn't need to derail my entire day
13:04by dealing with a staph infection
13:06that could have been seen to by a GP,
13:08and then being told I'm fat phobic.
13:10Do you think maybe you are judging Jocelyn a little harshly?
13:12Not you two.
13:14I'm a doctor, Billy.
13:16I want people to be healthy, don't you?
13:18I do, but it's not that...
13:20Then you agree that being overweight
13:22is science.
13:24Except that science doesn't actually back that up anymore.
13:26We're getting nowhere.
13:28Aren't you going with Drew back?
13:30Uh, yeah, yeah.
13:32Um, to my kitchen later.
13:38Gia!
13:40I am off the clock, and I am waiting for Naz.
13:42All right, I'll put it all in an email then, should I?
13:44That would be great.
13:46Cool, and I'll address it to you and your superiors,
13:48because even though you're not the one making the decisions,
13:50you're the one making it happen.
13:52I don't have a choice.
13:54Who is the one marching around this hospital,
13:56making sure every last scrap of te reo Maori is taken down?
13:58I'm under orders, and I've only just got this job.
14:00But you're making your mark, though, right?
14:02Who cares whose land we're on,
14:04that our language is dying?
14:06How that makes people feel?
14:08People feel alienated by these signs.
14:10Oh, there's English there, too, for God's sakes.
14:12It's the fact that te reo even exists
14:14that's got people feeling so threatened.
14:16It's pathetic, Monique.
14:18Monique, pathetic and dangerous,
14:20and you are just as much to blame as they are.
14:28Hey!
14:30Thanks for coming.
14:32Should I be worried we're not at home?
14:34I figure this is neutral ground,
14:36and I owe you an apology, sort of.
14:38I messed up.
14:40I know what I did was wrong.
14:42But I couldn't just stand by and watch Helen suffer
14:44when I could easily fix it.
14:46I get it.
14:48You do?
14:50Believe it or not, mate, we do have the same values.
14:52I just go about things a little differently sometimes.
14:54I get it. I need to rein it in.
14:56No, I didn't say that.
14:58I like that you always do what's right,
15:00and we're gonna need that energy if we're gonna survive
15:02whatever Monique throws at us next.
15:04What?
15:06But we need to be on the same team.
15:08I don't want to lose the hospital,
15:10and I sure as hell don't want to lose you, either.
15:13Sign me up.
15:28Morning!
15:30Bad timing. How'd you go last night?
15:32Well, once I got to sleep, I dreamt that there was posters
15:34on my face all around the city, and then people went
15:36and tagged all these awful things on them.
15:38Right. That's been stressful.
15:40I just really hope I don't run into Gia today.
15:42Unfortunately, that's part of it.
15:44She's got a different opinion to you,
15:46and she's entitled to say something.
15:48Okay, why didn't you bring this up at dinner last night?
15:50I didn't think you were in a place
15:52to have reasoned discussion.
15:54Look, what Gia is seeing is a privileged white woman
15:56tearing down her language in the workplace.
15:58Well, this truce is well and truly over.
16:00Don't hold back.
16:02You can't act so offended
16:04any time someone disagrees with what you're doing.
16:06I thought you were all for compartmentalizing,
16:08personal and private.
16:10Yes, I am. And yesterday you were
16:12at the end of a long day and needed support,
16:14so I listened. And today you're going in
16:16to deal with this very issue. I've been up all night
16:18thinking about how regressive this is,
16:20that I needed to say something.
16:22Well, congratulations, you did.
16:24Don't be like this. It's how I am.
16:26Isn't this fun?
16:28Learning all these new things about each other
16:30in such early days of our relationship.
16:32You know I'm not the only person that disagrees
16:34with you on this. So if you're going to do this,
16:36you're going to have to get better at taking criticism.
16:38There's going to be a lot more coming your way.
16:44Good morning, sunshine.
16:46Glad to see you're not kicked out.
16:48Not that I got much rest.
16:50Well, hospitals aren't exactly
16:52the most relaxing of places.
16:54I'm just going to take your temp.
17:00Oh, well, your temp's up a bit
17:02since yesterday. How are you feeling?
17:04Pretty rough, if I'm honest.
17:06But it's all good. I think
17:08Dr. Grayson wants me to go home this morning.
17:10We'll see.
17:14Can I take a wee look at the wound?
17:22Is it bad?
17:24It's not great, but I don't want you to worry.
17:26I might just have to get the big guns out.
17:30Miss Killerman, ready to head home?
17:32No, she's not.
17:34What's that?
17:36Her infection spread overnight and she has febrile.
17:38Okay, has the wound swell come back yet?
17:40Not yet.
17:42Okay, we'll stop the amoxicillin
17:44and start on flu clocks.
17:46I'm not worried, we just need to give you a different medication.
17:50Hey, I think she needs a surgical washout.
17:52We don't need to jump
17:54to surgery straight away.
17:56Now, if you don't mind, I've got to finish my rounds before I go to bed.
17:58I'm not above going to drill again.
18:02Okay.
18:08Am I in trouble?
18:10That's what I thought too, but Astra assured me
18:12that wasn't the case when she summoned me.
18:14I don't think any of us know why we're here
18:16unless you have the inside word, Marty.
18:18Not a clue.
18:20Maybe you can enlighten us.
18:22I'm sorry for the cloak and dagger, everyone,
18:24but it's not really something I could safely say in an email.
18:26Planning a revolution?
18:28Something like that.
18:30I'm aware of the recent closure of the MPC
18:32and other sweeping changes.
18:34Which are garbage, to say the least.
18:36Damn right.
18:38So many patients will suffer without that clinic.
18:40Well, not if we can help it.
18:42I'm looking at running weekend clinics instead,
18:44above and beyond our existing hours,
18:46so we can help meet the needs of those MÄori and Pasifika patients.
18:48Let me guess, these clinics will need to fly under the radar
18:50of the powers that be?
18:52That's right.
18:54Look, I know what I'm asking here,
18:56and if any of you don't want to be involved,
18:58I'm in.
19:00Me too.
19:02As thrilled as I am to be invited to be part of this clandestine plan,
19:04I am a little nervous.
19:06It's not compulsory, Thaddeus.
19:10Yesterday I told you I wanted to make things up to you.
19:12Today is that day.
19:16Great. Chris?
19:20Let's do it.
19:24Should I make us pancakes?
19:26No, it is my turn to cook.
19:32Hey.
19:34How's my gorgeous boy this morning?
19:36Still sleeping.
19:38It's a miracle.
19:40I've been thinking.
19:42Uh-oh.
19:44I know you said I should use my money
19:46to pay for my own clothes,
19:48but I don't need heaps,
19:50and you guys have been so good to me,
19:52so I thought I could chip in for bills and stuff.
19:54You don't have to do that.
19:56I want to.
19:58It won't be much, sorry,
20:00but I'm pretty sure I'm using all the Wi-Fi.
20:02That's really generous, but not necessary.
20:04I am doing it.
20:06Tonight is the first payment.
20:08Too good to last.
20:12What was that about?
20:14I don't know,
20:16but I told you you didn't need to worry about her.
20:18She's going to jump in the shower.
20:25Should we be in mufti
20:27so as not to arouse suspicion?
20:29Or would that be more suspicious,
20:31being at the hospital but not being in uniform?
20:33I don't care what you wear, Thaddeus.
20:35I'm just glad that everyone's on board.
20:37On board with what?
20:39Why are you always here?
20:41Well, I was coming to meet my boyfriend
20:43for lunch or another argument or whatever,
20:45but then I found this,
20:47whatever this is.
20:49Well?
20:51We don't have to answer to you
20:53for the day that they're running a hospital.
20:55Nuts.
20:59Yeah, fine.
21:01We are running volunteer clinics
21:03on the weekend to
21:05fill the gap left by the MPC.
21:07What?
21:09You heard?
21:11We're not about to abandon our people, so...
21:13So you're going to give preferential treatment
21:15to some members of the community and not others?
21:17Well, that's not really the plan, is it?
21:19Your shareholders can't dictate
21:21what we can do in our own time.
21:23They bloody well can if you're using hospital resources to do it.
21:25So you've gathered this merry band of morons
21:27to join you?
21:29It's unnecessary.
21:31Don't tell me what to do with either of you.
21:33Chris, I thought you would at least be smarter than this lot.
21:35Hm?
21:37I know why you're doing this.
21:39To honour our obligations to MÄori and TÄmatara Pasifika.
21:41Don't give me that.
21:43That's to get back at me.
21:45I can assure you the clinic will not be happening.
21:47No way, no how.
21:49She can't actually enforce that, can she?
21:55This is quite extensive.
21:59I can hear your thoughts from here.
22:01You're not a bad doctor.
22:03You've just got some blind spots
22:05and Jocelyn's paying for them.
22:07I just get frustrated when people don't take control
22:09of their own health.
22:11Why? Because she's fat?
22:13No, that's not what I mean.
22:15I just don't get why she'd let it get this bad.
22:17Because for people like Jocelyn and me
22:19sometimes it isn't as easy as that
22:21being judged for your body
22:23before you even open your mouth.
22:25You don't strike me as someone that would put up
22:27with that kind of treatment.
22:29At work, hell no.
22:31But when I'm seeing a doctor for myself
22:33the power dynamic is way different
22:35and it's hard when everything's blamed
22:37on your weight.
22:39Like I did with Jocelyn.
22:41I don't think you're being intentionally biased.
22:43I just think you don't know what it's like
22:45I'm sorry.
22:47Selena, I didn't mean to make you feel bad.
22:49That wasn't my intention.
22:51And I'll be offering the same apology to Jocelyn.
22:55Crap, she's in VA.
23:15Thank you for watching!
