00:00Previously on Shortland Street.
00:02New plan for the free clinic. Now it is the priority clinic.
00:05If you get on the wrong side of the shareholders, you could end up in an audit or who knows what.
00:08Why are you so against the clinic?
00:10Mayhew. I tacked Alfie's surgery under his bill.
00:12What are you scared Maniek's going to go looking and find out?
00:14This crosses so many ethical lines. We would never work again and how dare you compare it to my clinic?
00:18Surprise!
00:19Oh my gosh, Billie!
00:21You've been a bit tired since you got back from Samoa.
00:24Better check your blood sugar.
00:25I did it myself in Samoa and I'm fine.
00:28Billie? Can you hear me?
00:35Billie?
00:36DKA. Type 1 diabetic. He's drowsy.
00:39You found him like this?
00:40I thought he was sleeping.
00:41Billie, two lines please and do bloods.
00:43Sure thing.
00:44Get a blood gas.
00:45That too.
00:46Excuse me, Nicole. Move.
00:48Is diabetes usually well managed?
00:50Um, he was doing it himself while he was away. I should have changed the monitor back to me.
00:54I just need to look right.
00:56I dropped the ball.
00:57Yeah, clearly.
01:04The sound of kids sleeping is the sound in the world.
01:12Can we talk about this please?
01:17Do I need to be worried?
01:19About you?
01:21No.
01:22No?
01:24So no more Robin Hood? Taking from the rich?
01:27It was a one-off. It's done.
01:31You're not even sorry, are you?
01:34I'm sorry for how it might affect you.
01:37But I'm not sorry for fixing Alfie's knee.
01:39Saving his scholarship and his whole rugby career.
01:43Babe, I will take full responsibility if it gets out.
01:47I'm not going to let you lose your job.
01:49My job?
01:51Is that really what you think I'm worried about?
01:54What, aren't you?
01:56What about us, Marty?
01:59We said no more lies, no more secrets.
02:02But that's all there is with you.
02:05There is nothing more, I swear.
02:07Well, I've heard that before.
02:10Esther.
02:11No, no, I just can't right now, okay?
02:21His gas has confirmed TKA.
02:23He's acidotic.
02:25You know he's too young to manage type 1 diabetes, Nicole.
02:28There's too many factors to keep on top of.
02:30Insulin, blood sugar levels, carbohydrate intake.
02:32Thank you, I'm aware.
02:33Are you?
02:35All of this could have been avoided if you'd just stepped up and been the parent he needed.
02:38Emmett.
02:39Just calling it how I see it.
02:40Do you not think I feel bad enough already?
02:43I'll set up a GIK infusion.
02:44Plus closely monitor his vitals and his blood glucose.
02:48Philly will handle all of that, not you.
02:50I can help.
02:51You can parent.
02:53Give it a try.
02:57Nic, I'm sorry, he had no right to speak to you.
02:59Let's just focus on Philly.
03:05I can't believe it.
03:06All those people reading words I wrote.
03:08Me.
03:09Thaddeus Fleiss.
03:10Get on your feet.
03:12I would say you always believed in me, but, well, no hard feelings.
03:17For you.
03:18I can feel my inner scribe itching to burst out.
03:23I hope Madonna gets here soon.
03:25Oh, God, give me strength.
03:27You okay, Selina?
03:28Yeah, yeah, I'm fine.
03:29Just, well, I understand if it's a lot.
03:33Me and Madonna, our happiness.
03:35If you need us to celebrate elsewhere, just say the word.
03:38No, you're fine.
03:39If it's bringing up memories of Chris, we can certainly...
03:41Chris?
03:42Who mentioned anything about Chris?
03:49My darling Maddy, I have good news.
03:52The sparkling grape juice is poured,
03:54and I await your embrace with open arms.
03:58I'm sorry, Selina.
03:59I know I said I'd cool things around you.
04:01Oh, I'm still on the call.
04:02I won't be cooling things around you.
04:06Sorry.
04:07Bye, Maddy.
04:08I love you.
04:10Oh, no.
04:11I'm sorry.
04:12Again.
04:13I know I said I'd cool things around you.
04:15I won't be cooling things around you.
04:17I'm sorry.
04:18Again.
04:19No, Belle's in ED.
04:20What's wrong?
04:21I don't know, but when I find out, I'll let you know.
04:27My God, what happened?
04:28DKA.
04:29What did you let him eat?
04:30Nothing that he shouldn't have.
04:32Did he have his insulin?
04:33I don't know.
04:34You didn't see him take it?
04:35No, I didn't realise you wanted me to be over there.
04:38I should have checked.
04:41He's burning up.
04:42Thermometer?
04:4741.8.
04:48He's hyperparasitic.
04:50Grab a flannel, put some cold water on it, and put it on Belle's for you.
04:53Talk to me.
04:54He's hyperparasitic.
04:56Temps, 41.8.
04:58Heart rate's 150, and his blood pressure's 90 over 60.
05:01Okay, let's start rapid cooling measures.
05:03I need some ice pack in there, please.
05:04On it.
05:06What is causing this?
05:07The DKA?
05:08Maybe.
05:09Right now, we need to focus on getting his temperature down.
05:11Make sure there's no damage to his organs or brain.
05:13IV paracetamol, please.
05:15Paracetamol, please.
05:16Let's see if we can get that temperature to drop a bit faster.
05:19I should have checked his blood sugar.
05:21Insulin.
05:22Shoulda, woulda, coulda.
05:23Paracetamol infusion started.
05:26Thanks.
05:27Monitor vitals closely, please.
05:29We don't want to miss any signs of decompensation.
05:31Sats are at 92%.
05:33Increase oxygen to six litres.
05:34Sure.
05:35He's seizing.
05:36Lying flat.
05:38Give one milligram of IV lorazepam, please.
05:40Sorted.
05:41Shh.
05:48Shh, Dolly.
05:50I'm not snooping, okay?
05:52It's just, I can't stand secrets.
05:54And if your doggy boyfriend was keeping something from you,
05:58you'd want to know, right?
06:00Yeah?
06:01Yeah, you would, little girl.
06:04Okay.
06:05Shoot.
06:06Okay.
06:08Short and straight.
06:11Okay.
06:16Paediatrics.
06:17Paediatrics.
06:21And neck.
06:26That's actually password.
06:29It's not, is it?
06:30It's not.
06:33I am so, so sorry.
06:35It's just, everyone's hiding things from me
06:38and I couldn't be there for you to keep secrets from me, too.
06:40I'm not.
06:41Then just tell me.
06:43It's nothing.
06:45It's personal, okay?
06:46Just for me.
06:47You don't need to know.
06:49It's it?
06:51That's it.
06:52I don't keep secrets, Mum.
06:54Can we go to bed?
07:10His breathing is laboured but improving.
07:12Heart rate is 130 and blood pressure 110 over 60.
07:15Temp's 39.
07:18Still febrile.
07:20Let's get more ice, please.
07:24Keep an eye out for respiratory distress.
07:27I can do that.
07:28Selina will.
07:30Call me if anything changes, okay?
07:31Yeah.
07:34Are you okay, Meg?
07:35Do you need anything?
07:36I just need his temp to come down faster.
07:38We're working on it.
07:40Billy's gonna be okay.
07:41We don't even know why this is happening.
07:43Is it the DKA or something else?
07:45Emma will figure it out.
07:47It's a pity he's being a jerk about it.
07:49I don't care.
07:50He can judge me.
07:51He can think what he likes about me.
07:53I just need him to bring my baby back.
07:56Hey.
07:58Do you want me to give Maeve a call?
08:01No.
08:02I can't deal with that right now.
08:04She'll want to support you.
08:06Not now.
08:07Okay.
08:09What if he's not okay?
08:12Brain damage or organ failure?
08:14Meg, stop.
08:15Okay?
08:16Don't think this way.
08:18His temp's coming down.
08:19What if it wasn't fast enough?
08:21What if the damage is already done?
08:23I mean, that seizure.
08:24Meg.
08:25Meg, we won't know until he wakes, okay?
08:27But we've just got to stay positive.
08:40His temp's come down, but he's still unresponsive.
08:44How's Nicole?
08:45Not good.
08:46She just needs people around her right now.
08:48Is she called Maeve?
08:49She will, I think.
08:51Well, thank you.
08:52And let me know if she needs anything.
08:57Oh, Nick.
08:58Okay, I will get in touch with Madonna.
09:01Sort the roster.
09:02How can I help?
09:04Um, just...
09:06Get in touch with Nick.
09:07Nick.
09:08And Pele.
09:09And I'll sort the rest.
09:11Iz, I'm going to turn myself in to the medical council about the fraud.
09:16You will lose your license?
09:19If Fergus Mayhew wants to press criminal charges, you can...
09:22I know that.
09:23But I can't risk you or your job.
09:25Why's it so late for that?
09:26Okay, no one's going to believe that.
09:27I didn't know it.
09:28I will make sure you're absolved of any involvement.
09:31I need to be held to account.
09:33It's no silver bullet, Marty.
09:35I know that.
09:36No, your entire history.
09:37They're going to throw it into the media,
09:39and every single time I've covered up for you,
09:41it'll be under a microscope.
09:43Then the sooner I talk to the medical council, the better.
09:45The less culpable you are.
09:46No, you say nothing, you do nothing,
09:48and you give me time to consider what is best, okay?
09:51Please?
09:59Hey.
10:00Have you heard about Pele?
10:01Awful.
10:02Awful?
10:03Yeah, I'm taking over his care.
10:04On my way to meet him shortly.
10:06Okay, that's good.
10:07Pele's got the best in you.
10:08Mm-hmm.
10:10Look, I really, really didn't mean to look at your laptop.
10:13Marty, I accidentally jumped from my bag into your hands.
10:16I didn't read anything.
10:18It's because I caught you.
10:19I just can't bear any more...
10:21Secrets, yes, you said.
10:24I was wrong, okay?
10:26It won't happen again.
10:28It won't!
10:30It was a breach of trust.
10:32You make it sound so serious.
10:33It was.
10:35You can read my diary.
10:37You have a diary?
10:38No, but if I did have a diary, you could read it.
10:42I'm an open book.
10:43So am I.
10:44Except for whatever's on your laptop.
10:46It's personal, I told you.
10:50I don't have time for this.
10:52Actually, I don't have time for it either.
10:54Great, then we're both agreed.
10:55Great.
10:56And if you're going to overreact over the tiniest things,
10:58then maybe we shouldn't move in together.
11:00Maybe we shouldn't.
11:01Hmm.
11:17Hey.
11:18You texting May?
11:20Yeah, just filling her in.
11:22Babe, why don't you step out and call her
11:24and then have a rest and I'll sit here with him.
11:27Yeah, that's a good idea.
11:28That's a good idea and we can call you if there's any change.
11:32Um, I don't think I can leave him.
11:35Okay, well I'll come back later and check on you, yeah?
11:38Yeah.
11:47What if I've heard his last words?
11:51Seen his last smile?
11:53Mac, don't do this to yourself.
11:56Well, could the diabetes have caused
11:58an underlying problem with his heart or kidneys?
12:00Still doesn't explain the high temp.
12:02Blood sugar and temper back to normal?
12:04Almost.
12:05We don't know how much harm has been done though.
12:08Guys?
12:09Nicole knows the score.
12:11We're going to find the cause of the hypopraxia.
12:13You don't think it's the DKA?
12:16It's highly unlikely.
12:19Well, there you go, Nazza.
12:20Another chance to prove you're our resident mind-shining armor.
12:24Keep me updated.
12:25Of course.
12:29Please find out what's wrong with him.
12:33We'll do everything we can.
12:38Alright.
12:40I know.
12:42Talk later, okay? I love you.
12:47Everything okay?
12:48Of course.
12:49How's Junior?
12:50He's good.
12:51Don't worry, his mum's bothering him.
12:53You mean with Nicole?
12:55Yeah, she's keeping strong for her boy.
12:57You needed to check in with yours?
13:00Being a parent, no one tells you how hard it's going to be, you know?
13:04How powerless you feel when they're ill,
13:07when they're away from you.
13:11I'm sorry, I shouldn't be venting to you.
13:15Why not?
13:17Because we aren't that for each other, not anymore.
13:22I understand why I'd be the last person you'd ask for parenting advice.
13:29But I'm here as a friend.
13:32And I appreciate that.
13:34But I'm okay.
13:41No, don't come back.
13:43It's just easier.
13:45I can't deal with anything else.
13:48Thank you, though. I know that you care.
13:52Yep, yep. If anything changes.
13:55Okay.
13:57Okay, bye.
14:18I love you.
14:19I love you too.
14:20I love you.
14:21I love you.
14:22I love you.
14:23I love you.
14:24I love you.
14:25I love you.
14:26I love you.
14:27I love you.
14:28I love you.
14:29I love you.
14:30I love you.
14:31I love you.
14:32I love you.
14:33I love you.
14:34I love you.
14:35I love you.
14:36I love you.
14:37I love you.
14:38I love you.
14:39I love you.
14:40I love you.
14:41I love you.
14:42I love you.
14:43I love you.
14:44I love you.
14:45I love you.
14:46I love you.
14:48I love you.
14:54What are you drinking?
14:56Sorrows.
14:58Well, misery loves company.
15:00No she doesn't.
15:01Oh, yes he does. I'll have what she's having, thanks.
15:04Marty, I don't want to borrow whatever drama you've got going on.
15:07Fine.
15:09I'm assuming this is a Niles-related thing.
15:11Niles, med-vitas versus the hospital.
15:14Something's up, I can feel it.
15:16Esther is giving me nothing and I know something is going on.
15:18People just don't love you pushing the hard line, Mon.
15:21It feels punitive and racist.
15:23Excuse me?
15:24Thanks. I'm just telling you how people feel.
15:27Well that is their interpretation. I am just doing my job.
15:30Okay. Do you want me to congratulate you?
15:32You don't get it.
15:34Look, surely the best way to get through life is just being honest and true to yourself.
15:39I always am. Are you?
15:43Trying to be?
15:46Yeah.
15:57Hey.
16:02How's he doing?
16:04No improvement.
16:06I'll give it some time.
16:08He's a strong boy. You're on to it.
16:11No, I dropped the ball.
16:14All kids want to be independent. He just needs more experience managing his condition.
16:19Thank you, Matt.
16:21Any change, Nicole?
16:22No.
16:23That's frustrating.
16:25Please, Naz, if there's anything else you can do for him.
16:28I'm going to start again from the top.
16:31Another physical examination?
16:33Yes.
16:35While he was in Samoa, was he with family, friends?
16:38Yeah.
16:40Was he sick while he was over there?
16:42No.
16:43What activities did he do?
16:45Standard holiday stuff, lots of family time, swimming, playing with his cousins.
16:51Animals, reports of scratches, bites?
16:54Not that I know of.
16:55Surely it's his diabetes.
16:57I'm just trying to rule out any other complications.
17:02Ah.
17:04What?
17:06This might be relevant.
17:08Oh, what?
17:10Cutaneous abscess.
17:11It's infected.
17:12I see that completely.
17:13Looks like it could be consistent of a coral cut.
17:15Let's give him IV fluplexacillin, water cultures and a thorough clean of the wound.
17:19Go quickly, please.
17:26Now he doesn't trust me.
17:28I'm kind of not surprised.
17:31So supportive.
17:33He'll get over it.
17:35Esther, on the other hand.
17:38So what have you done this time?
17:40It's bad.
17:42Can't be worse than all the other stupid stuff you've done before.
17:45Well, maybe she'll forgive me, but I want to have a job.
17:48What, Marty, are you using again?
17:50Any jobs going with you?
17:51Marty, are you using?
17:52No.
17:53It's not that kind of mistake.
17:55Okay.
17:57You know what, don't tell me.
17:58Tell your wife.
17:59Grovel to her, yada yada.
18:00I'm going to go home, my cold, empty house full of haters.
18:05Or I could get us another round.
18:08I tacked the surgery bill for a less fortunate patient onto a wealthy one's invoice.
18:12You what?
18:13No one even knew.
18:14Everyone was happy.
18:15Marty, that is fraud.
18:17That is theft.
18:18Really, why would you tell me this?
18:20I only did it to help people in need.
18:22Or you did it to clear your conscience.
18:24And now I have information that I have to report.
18:26What? No.
18:27Yes.
18:28Okay, well then you have to know, Esther had no involvement.
18:31Okay, please do not get her in trouble.
18:38Winnie.
18:39Esther, how on earth am I still being dragged into your dramas with Marty?
18:43I have moved on.
18:44I have a new job, a new amazing boyfriend, Winnie gets over himself.
18:47And I am happy, I'm happy.
18:49I'm happy for you.
18:50So what the hell am I meant to do about this fraud bombshell that he has just dropped on me?
18:55He did not tell you.
18:56He did tell me.
18:57He told me.
18:58So what do I do, Esther?
19:00Do I do the job I'm paid for?
19:02The legal, ethical thing?
19:03Or do I take your sordid little secret to the grave?
19:08I really don't think this is a good idea.
19:11It feels way too soon to be seeing a shrink.
19:14I just want you to know I showered solo.
19:16What?
19:17I don't mean to throw Madonna under the bus, but she suggested we go together and I said no.
19:22No, Madonna, the shower is a shared space.
19:25Rather, a flatmate space.
19:27We must call off our couple's showers out of respect to you.
19:31Oh, I didn't know you were doing that.
19:33We're not doing it anymore.
19:35Well, I mean, we're doing it, which is not doing that.
19:39How is it that you're trying not to rub this in my face and yet you're making it worse?
19:43We've made you uncomfortable in your own home.
19:45Look, you guys do your thing, OK?
19:48I mean, not in the bathroom.
19:50But don't be afraid to show affection.
19:53And don't feel like you have to restrain yourselves in front of lonely old Selena.
19:57I'm not a charity case.
20:00So you're saying you don't mind if we steal the occasional smooch?
20:05Honestly, I think anything is almost better than hearing you talk about it.
20:10Thank you, Selena. I appreciate that.
20:12I really, really do.
20:17But if you change your mind, just tell us directly.
20:20We will cease and desist.
20:22Well, you guys are in love.
20:25Don't let anyone stop you.
20:27You don't know what that means to us.
20:29Well, I feel like having a bath, so why don't you thank me by giving it a quick scrub out?
20:35It would be my pleasure.
20:40You went behind my back.
20:42Not intentionally. I was just talking to Mon.
20:44She works for Medvitas, you idiot.
20:47I know that.
20:48Well, aside from the fact that you went running to her again.
20:50You always bloody confide in her. Always.
20:53Now look at the position you've put us both in.
20:55I made sure she knows you had nothing to do with my actions.
20:58You can't help yourself, can you? You always want to be the hero.
21:01Okay, I know I messed up and the medical council can throw the book at me.
21:04And to protect you, I will resign right now if that's what you want.
21:08Is that what you want?
21:11Well, that's pretty clear.
21:13I quit. Effective immediately.
21:21I wonder how Billy's doing.
21:23Yeah, just been up there.
21:25He's got an infected cut in his foot, so they're trying antibiotics.
21:28Okay, sounds hopeful.
21:29Yeah, fingers crossed.
21:31Kicking myself, I missed it, actually.
21:33Poor kid. Nick's worried sick.
21:35Oh, you're a big old softy deep down, aren't you?
21:39Sorry, no, not big, not soft, and not even that old.
21:42How are our patients doing?
21:44All under control. I'm about to put a line in for Mrs Lorimer,
21:47but good to hear things are looking up for Nick and Billy.
21:49Yeah, yeah, I'm happy for them.
21:51You actually are, aren't you?
21:52It's funny you sound so surprised.
21:55Koro!
21:58Koromiya.
21:59Hi, can you be here, please?
22:02Oh, I'm fine. Are you okay?
22:05No, I'm not feeling well.
22:07Oh, that's no good. Is your mum with you?
22:12No, I am.
22:18I'm here.
22:22I'm here.
