(DOOR BUZZING) Hello I'm Sister Rix.
Roger shouldn't be long.
Sorry Donna.
You wouldn't happen to be involved with Roger Hurley's gynae list for this afternoon? I'm his new registrar.
I've been bleeping the SHO for 1 5 minutes now and I'm late for theatre.
I'd like the diabetic first on the list.
Any questions worries? Yeah sorry one.

Oh they dish out meaningless titles for every year you go without being suspended.
How do you do? -Polly Grey specialist registrar.
-Pleased to meet you.
Tony are you taking on the CA? Oh she's got a cervix like a cauliflower.
It's not an operation she needs.
-It's radiotherapy.
-It's a pine box.
Good luck.
Roger I don't suppose you'd Thanks.
Advanced CA cervix.
Her MRI suggests that she's borderline operable.
Good morning Mrs Bourne.
Winifred hi.
My name is Roger Hurley yet another doctor I'm afraid.
Your scan suggests there's a possibility that surgery could help you.
It would be a palliative procedure it wouldn't cure you but it would make you much more comfortable.
Would you add Mrs Bourne to my list please Donna? -Yeah.
-I'll do my best for you Winifred.
Thank you.
DONNA: Thanks Roger.
This is the lap steri.
-Morning Mrs Collier how are you? -Fine.
As you know we'll be going in with a small telescope to perform a sterilisation.
Six kids.
Well we'd better get on before you pop another one out.
Lap and dye for theatre today.
Lap and dye for investigation of sub-fertility.
Morning Mrs Campbell.
We're going to have a look inside your abdomen with a small telescope to see if there are any problems that have stopped you getting pregnant.
If we do find something then hopefully we can treat it -and you'll be able to start a family.
-Thank you.
-Everything okay? -Yeah.
She's a diabetic.
The anaesthetist wants her first on the list.
Thank you Rob.
Maya could you change the list please? -And put Mrs Collier first please.
-Campbell.
Campbell yes.
Sorry.
Slip of the tongue.
Hi Anne-Marie it's Maya.
We want to move Mrs Campbell to first on the list.
-There you go.
-Thanks Anne-Marie.
No problem.
Thanks.
Right Gillian Campbell G88895382 74.
-Yep.
-Yep.
You all right? Good.
-Hi Donna.
-Hi Maria.
Hi I'm Dr Orton.
We met in the ward before.
I'll be putting you to sleep for your operation.
ROGER: Morning team.
ROB: Morning boss.
Morning.
-Lovely carrot cake.
Thank you very much.
-Oh thank you.
ROB: Don't half see some freaky fannies in our game.
ROGER: Yes you do.
So did you do many sterilisations in your previous place? -A good few.
-Good.
No it's a lap and dye.
Gillian Campbell G88895382 74 laparoscopy and dye.
-Are you sure? -Yes.
Someone bring me the notes please.
Sterilisation.
Lap and dye for sub-fertility.
We saw her on the ward round.
Rob you happy? -The list is wrong.
-ROGER: Okay correct the theatre list please.
Okay back to work everyone.
Music please.
-I do beg your pardon Maria.
-Is that it? This patient's desperate to get pregnant.
You came within a whisker of sterilising her.
We'll deal with it later.
Okay Rob? Mr Lake do you know who's responsible for this cockup? Sorry first day.
ROGER: Scalpel.
-Shall I report this as an -I just said we'll deal with this later.
Right.
-Everything okay Mrs Campbell? -Fine thank you.
Good.
-Is she okay? -Yeah she's fine.
The theatre list was written up wrong.
She was down for a sterilisation.
-Anne-Marie must have typed it up wrong.
-It's your job to check.
Shit happens sorry.
You been around the other patients yet? Love to but 5:00.
Got a hot date.
Not my problem.
Wonderful.
-The area of the CIN was excised completely.
-Thank you.
We await histology and if there are no surprises we will operate.
Tony when you interviewed her did you bother to ask if she could type? Yep 60 words a minute.
Give or take a minute.
So would you care for a lift? Yeah that will be lovely.
Mr Hurley's removed as much of the cancer as possible.
The disease is still there but hopefully you'll be a little more comfortable now.
Okay? Excuse me.
-Thank you.
-Excuse me.
-I didn't get your name.
-Kat.
Yours? -Rob.
-Pleased to meet you Rob.
I've written up the post-op fluids on Winifred Bourne.
Aren't you the clever boy? ROGER: I promise to read you lots of stories at the weekend.
Daddy's got to go now bye.
Hey boss.
Rob.
Are you going to come around the post-ops with me? Sorted.
-What we're done for the day? -We're done.
You can keep your job.
Fancy a drink? My shout.
I would do but if everything's okay I might just sneak off home.
-Thanks for today Rob.
-No problem.
Hi it's me.
Yeah I'm just leaving.
Tell Toby I'll read him a story.
The new registrar's sorted them.
For once they've sent me a bloke who isn't a complete tosser.
Tim Sibley A&E Senior SHO.
Mr Whitman.
Senior SHO? Isn't that an oxymoron? No a tautology.
Senior Senior House Officer.
I tried bleeping your SHO but I got no response.
We don't have an SHO.
She's supposed to be arriving from Spain but she can't get registered unless she's got a job and the hospital won't give her a job unless she's registered.
So what are you doing Tom? Tim.
I'm clocking her in.
This is Winifred Bourne.
Spare me.
She's Hurley's.
-Well we are on take today.
-Yes I know we're on take Polly but look at her she's deader than Elvis.
I'm not having her peg-it under me.
Not literally under me obviously.
-Roger there's a patient of yours Mrs Bourne -Tony do you mind? She's the one with advanced CA cervix I ducked out of.
-I'll leave her with you.
Is that all right? -No it's not all right.
Protocol is you admit her and hand her back to me in the morning.
You're the one who chose to operate on her.
She's all yours mate.
-Rob are you okay to close? -Sure boss no problem.
Thank you.
Thank you.
How are you getting on with Roger? -Fine thanks.
-Good.
Good.
-Polly.
-Really sorry about this Mr Hurley.
-That's okay.
-Her chest film shows pulmonary secondaries.
Possible pneumonia though it's hard to tell.
Couldn't fetch me a glass of water could you? -Water? -Please.
-Okay.
-Thanks.
(WINIFRED GROANING) Winifred.
I'm Mr Hurley.
Do you remember me? Very good.
We're going to make you as comfortable as possible okay? Thank you.
I'm just going to take your mask off.
It's okay it's okay.
There you go.
Very good well done.
Just going to put your mask back on.
There you go.
Okay.
Thanks.
The daughter's complaining.
They've already been here eight hours.
-When did I operate on her? -October the first.
Bad luck.
What's the problem? Post-operative mortality.
If she lives for 30 days she wouldn't appear in the figures.
-Tim? Is it Tim? -Yes.
Could you check if there's a hospice bed available please? -Of course my pleasure.
-Thank you.
-Doctor? I'm Mrs Bourne's daughter.
-Yes.
Yes of course.
I'll take it Polly.
Thanks.
Polly could you do this one with me? Lost condom.
(SIGHS) Um Can you GIRL: He never told me it'd come off till we was finished.
-He was you know fishing around for it for ages.
-And couldn't your boyfriend find it? Me boyfriend finding it was what we was worried about.
If you will insist on having casual sex then the least thing you can do is ensure that the condom is fitted securely.
You're at risk from unwanted pregnancy -Tell me what you can see.
-all kinds of diseases.
I'm not sure.
Okay.
Let me have a look.
Oh! Well at least your tie is not still a virgin eh? -She's pissed herself.
-Is that so? You don't expect me to change the bed do you? I wouldn't stop you.
(WINIFRED MOANING) Donna.
Offering to play Debbie McGee to my Paul Daniels? -I'm sorry to bother you Mr Hurley but -Mr Hurley? Uh-oh.
What have I done? I don't think it's appropriate for Mrs Bourne to be on the ward.
It's just till she can be transferred to the hospice.
-Which hospice? -I don't know.
Newlands.
There's 60 patients in this hospital that the bed manager thinks there's a place at Newlands.
Newlands isn't built yet.
I thought I could get her in somewhere tonight.
There wasn't time to sort it out.
She'll move out in the morning.
As I said Roger I don't think it's appropriate that she's in an acute gynae bed.
Donna you were the one that wanted me to help her in the first place.
I don't think it's fair to share in the credit when things go right and to blame me when things go wrong.
(WINIFRED MOANING) Boost the driver.
-I have done.
-Well boost it again.
Ovarian salvage is the cornerstone of my work.
I believe some unilocular ovarian cysts can be managed expectantly.
This strategy is appropriate for women with a cyst size of less than five centimetres.
Cysts eight centimetres or less have a very low risk of malignancy and often resolve spontaneously.
This is the fundamental objective of my work to give the woman her best chance of a normal reproductive life.
Thank you.
Thank you very much.
Boss I need to talk to you about this CA cervix woman.
What's there to talk about? Get her through the night.
-Evening Hugh.
-Good.
Can you just give me a minute? Rob.
-If you need me to come down I'll come down.
-No no it's fine.
-You sure? -Yeah.
Sorry about that.
How are you? She's already had 24 hours of Demerol.
Give her some more.
Not me.
Give her some more.
Or I will.
She shouldn't even have been here.
No she shouldn't.
She wasn't even that old.
Well she's dead now.
Don't get much older than that.
-How is she? -Sorted.
Rob I'm sorry.
These lectures they don't come up very often.
Thanks for covering.
-Hiya.
-Hi.
Maybe Roger shouldn't have operated on her.
Maybe he should have referred her for radiotherapy.
Why do you say that? No reason.
I don't worry anymore about how much these things affect me.
I worry about how little they do.
Come on I'll buy you a drink.
I've gotta give a report.
-Afterwards then.
-Afterwards I go home.
This month I had one instance of post-operative mortality.
Patient was 67 years old with N-stage CA cervix pulmonary mets and pneumonia.
She was awaiting transfer to hospice but unfortunately died on the ward before a place could be found.
I carried out palliative excision and repair on her 29 days prior to her death.
Radiotherapy was an alternative but it would have made her extremely ill.
The palliative surgery gave her the best chance of a reasonable quality of life and the MRI scan indicated she was operable.
Thank you.
Death is a death though when it's in black and white.
It's easy to have impressive figures when you turn away anyone who's really sick.
Someone told me something once I think it was an old boss of mine.
The superior surgeon uses his superior judgement to stay clear of any situation which might test his superior ability.
-Thought they were going to fix this.
-Well they haven't so far.
-Thanks for everything.
-Oh you're welcome.
Thank you.
Here.
Good.
-Who was that? -Fuck knows.
Good chocs though.
Is it mustard flavour? I'm into mustard this week.
The Anti-Christ wants mustard.
-Too strong.
-What? Too strong.
(MUMBLING) I tingle.
Angela Strawberry? -That's an unusual name very pretty.
-Thank you.
Oh sorry I've got a bit of a sore throat.
Well I'm Polly Grey.
I'm Specialist Registrar in Obstetrics and Gynaecology and I was wondering if I could ask you some questions about your sex life.
-Well I don't see why not.
-Okay.
Right.
Are you in a sexual relationship? Honestly it's medical.
So we spoke about laparoscopy in outpatients.
I'm going to make a small incision in the abdomen take a look inside with a tiny little telescope.
All I need is your consent.
-I've been doing some research on the internet.
-Oh Jesus.
I'd like to ask again about the risks.
Laparoscopy isn't a high-risk operation.
Of course no medical procedure is without its dangers.
Thousands of people have operations in the NHS everyday.
Only a small number of them have any problems.
That's the most important thing to remember.
-You're patronising me.
-Of course I am I'm a doctor.
But I'm also telling you the truth.
Worse case scenario what can go wrong? Like I say there's no worse case scenario commonly associated with this medical procedure.
There are always worse case scenarios.
I insist on knowing or I'll withhold consent.
You could suffer a reaction to the anaesthetic which would leave you either dead or permanently disabled.
You could haemorrhage during the operation and bleed to death.
The operation could be a complete success but you get a clot forming in your leg which would shoot up to the lungs and then bang fatal cardiac arrest.
POLLY: When did your last orgasm result from sexual intercourse or masturbation? (PAGER BEEPING) -It's Rob Lake.
You're bleeping me.
-Hi Rob.
It's Maya.
Look I know this sounds like rubbish but I've got a patient here with a really bad sore throat.
I was thinking it could be acute epiglottitis.
We're ready for you.
She needs an ENT opinion.
Look I've got to go into a case but if you've got any problems give me a call okay? All right no problem.
Keep calm.
It's all right.
Okay Angela can you keep still for me? I just need to listen to your chest.
(ANGELA GASPING) It's okay.
It's all right.
Shit.
Donna get me an adrenaline neb and 200 cortisone IV.
-Okay.
-Did you speak to anyone at ENT? -I thought you were gonna do it.
-What? You said she needed an ENT opinion.
They'll only see gynae patients if the registrar or above make the referral.
I assumed you'd call them.
-That's not what I meant at all.
-That's what it sounded like.
What do we do? Get the crash trolley.
Hi I need the bleep number for the registrar on call for ENT please.
Thank you.
MAYA: Calm down.
You'll be fine.
(TELEPHONE RINGING) O&G Mr Lake.
She's busy.
Listen mate I need this line for an urgent medical call.
(TELEPHONE RINGING) O&G Mr Lake.
Thanks for getting back to me.
Okay I've got a woman with possible acute epiglottitis.
Well get here as soon as you can please.
ENT reg he's non-residential.
He's in theatre at General.
-He's going to get here as soon as he can.
-She might last.
Can you put out a fast bleep to the senior anaesthetist on call? Thank you.
-What's her name? -Angela Strawberry.
Angela the ENT surgeon is going to be here very soon.
In the meantime you've got to let the nebulizer help you breathe.
-Try and relax for me okay? -It isn't working.
Need some oxygen there.
Rob help her breathe.
DONNA: She's going.
She's going.
-Rob.
-I need an anaesthetist.
Shit.
It's all right Angela.
It's all right.
Calm down Angela.
Stay calm.
It's all right.
Okay Angela keep still now darling.
I know.
-ROB: Hold her down.
-It's all right.
It's all right.
Hold her down.
Hold her head still please.
Angela come on.
There's too much oedema.
I can't get the fucking tube in.
Okay I need a big Venflon and a three-way tap.
Get me an oxygen line running please.
Venflon.
Three-way tap.
Just do it.
Okay hold her still.
Hold her still.
Hold her still.
MAYA: Can't you just give her a three-way? -I know.
I will when I'm ready.
Thank you.
-Okay okay.
Okay I'm in the trachea.
(ANGELA CHOKING) Keep still Ange.
-Oxygen's in.
-The oxygen's going in now Angela.
Angela the oxygen's gonna help you but you've got to help me by keeping still please.
Keep still.
Ah shit! Okay she's going to need a surgical cric.
Get back onto ENT.
Call around see if anybody's done a cric before.
-Call Mr Hurley.
-She needs it now Rob.
This isn't my fucking section Donna.
I've never even seen a cric.
She needs a stable cric.
You're the closest thing to a surgeon we've got right now.
-Still got an output.
-Put out a 222 respiratory arrest.
Just do it.
-Any news? -DONNA: Not yet.
Hold her down.
Hold her here.
Hold her rock fucking steady.
-DONNA: Trying.
-Try fucking harder.
(CHOKING) Oh she's bleeding into her trachea.
Oh fuck.
I haven't a clue what I'm doing here.
I don't know what I'm doing.
I haven't got a clue.
Not a clue.
Too late mate.
She's gone.
Bay one.
ROB: Get me another tube.
Rob.
Rob listen up.
ROGER: Thanks everyone.
Okay.
Sit down.
Look ENT had an emergency of their own.
If they hadn't they would've been here.
But even then there's no guarantee she would have survived.
I had a chance to do a cric and I botched it.
Look we're not machines Rob.
We can all have an off-day.
You made an isolated uncharacteristic error.
I panicked and I let everything get on top of me.
I shouldn't have.
You're not expected to be able to perform a surgical cricothyrotomy.
The only mistake you made was taking it on.
Some doctors don't take on the difficult cases because they're afraid of failing and that's not how we do things on my firm.
We're not obsessed with buffing our figures.
We do what's best for the patient.
And if you hadn't have acted that woman would have died.
She did die.
Rob I consider this a tragic accident.
An accident's where no one's to blame.
You're not to blame.
-You all right? -Yeah.
Good.
(KNOCKING ON DOOR) (DONNA MOANING) Harder.
-If you'd just like to take a seat in here.
-Thank you.
I'll tell him you're here.
Yeah hello Anne-Marie it's Donna.
Would you let Mr Hurley know that Mrs Strawberry's daughter and son are in the gynae ward office.
Yeah.
Okay thanks.
Mr Hurley's secretary says he's already on his way up okay? Good morning.
I was one of the doctors dealing with your mother.
She developed a condition called acute epiglottitis which causes the throat to close off.
And we have to make a hole in the throat to enable her to breathe again.
For a specialist in throat surgery this is a relatively simple procedure.
However it's not something we really do on this ward.
Hysterectomies and Caesarean sections are our thing.
A specialist was required at a very short amount of time and Morning Rob.
Hi I'm Roger Hurley.
I'm the consultant.
I'm sorry for your loss.
Rob could you do me a favour and start the ward round? I'll catch up with you.
Thank you.
Your mother was under my care following her hysterectomy.
Surgery puts an enormous strain on the body.
I think she was susceptible to infection.
And what started out as no more than a simple sore throat turned very quickly and very alarmingly into a life-threatening condition.
The doctors here only had what amounted to a minute or less to carry out a very difficult procedure.
They did everything they could but there wasn't sufficient time.
We're all very sorry.
-A tracheotomy was that the procedure? -Something similar.
Yeah.
I've seen it done on television.
They make a cut and bingo.
Well that's television.
I'm really very sorry for your loss.
If there's anything I can do WOMAN: Thank you.
Look I hate to do this but I have a ward round to do now.
Bye-bye.
Come on.
They're fine.
-WOMAN ON INTERCOM: Labour ward.
-Rob Lake.
-HAZEL: Breathe.
-Here is the registrar for you Hazel.
-Thanks Doctor.
-Is everything okay? Late decelerations big dips.
Big dips.
Okay the trace suggests the baby might be in some kind of distress.
-I'm going to have to do an internal examination.
-I just did one.
She's fully dilated.
Please don't take this the wrong way Hazel.
I just want to check for myself.
I'm sorry.
-Okay she's fully dilated and OT.
-Do want to do an instrumental delivery? We're talking about helping the baby out with forceps.
Let's get her down to theatre.
If the forceps don't work then we move on to a Caesarean.
-Okay.
-Okay? Good.
-Hiya Dottie.
-Hi Maria.
-I thought we were doing a CS? -We are.
So where is the patient? Fuck this.
-Hazel where's my -HAZEL: You're doing really well.
Really well.
Thought we'd give her a few more minutes.
Don't mind do you Rob? Just going to take a blood sample.
Just going to make a tiny little nick in the baby's scalp okay? Thank you.
Big push now.
Here we go again.
Big push.
Good girl.
Good girl.
-Big push.
Good girl.
-Still got big dips eh boss? -I know.
Let's wait for the foetal pH eh? -I had theatre all prepped.
I know.
HAZEL: Breathe.
Ph seven point one.
Seven point one okay.
We're going to have to get your baby out straightaway okay? Take her through please.
-ROGER: Frontal pressure.
-Are you okay? -This baby's as flat as a pancake.
-Let's just cut the cord shall we? Now -Maybe we shouldn't have waited boss.
-Just concentrate on this Rob.
Go.
MARIA: Just going to give you an injection.
ROB: Suction.
Suction.
Contractor please.
(BABY CRYING) There he goes.
Well done.
All's well that ends well.
Okay? You've been Roger's registrar for How long is it now? Surely you must have cause for concern.
He's just delivered a healthy baby from a healthy mum.
Rob.
Rob he was appointed based on his research in ovarian disease.
That and the funding that he brings to the hospital.
He isn't experienced enough in general obstetric practice to hold the post of consultant in O&G.
You ever made a mistake? Ever killed someone? I've been a doctor for 1 3 years.
Of course I have.
Well then with all due respect who are you to point the finger? Rob I'm not being insensitive to the cricothyrotomy.
Every doctor makes mistakes.
But everybody in this hospital knows that Roger makes mistakes again and again and again.
Now that is not an isolated uncharacteristic error.
You know if there's a willingness to accept that or to learn from it or talk You're wrong about him.
He's a supportive boss.
He's hard-working.
He's a good guy.
Roger Hurley may be a good guy he's just not that good a doctor.
-Yvonne -What? -You're going to be okay.
-Shit! Kat.
Oh God.
Bloody hell.
Hey what's the difference between a midwife and a sperm? I don't know.
The sperm can find the cervix.
Two centimetres dilated.
You've a long way to go my girl.
A long long way.
Mrs Carr should have her blood pressure checked hourly overnight.
Okay I'll make sure the night staff know.
That's about me done for the day.
-You? -Another hour or so maybe.
-Long day? -Long day.
I could wait around an hour if you fancied going out for a quick drink.
-Sorry.
-Another night then? The next time I won't try talking to you on the ward.
-I do need to talk to you though.
-Rob.
Do you think Roger Hurley's incompetent? He's very into his research.
He's genuinely caring about his patients.
Have you ever seen him make mistakes? The maternity unit sees 4000 labours a year.
Some are bound to go wrong.
Do his go wrong more often than they should? Some people say they do.
-Who are some people? -Hospital people.
What do you say? I've been here long enough to know it's best never to say anything.
Wait a second.
Who are these people who slag him off anyway? Midwives? Nurses? Fucking porters? You asked me what people say I told you.
What do they say about me now? I botched up a cric and killed someone.
Complete waste of space.
-What do you say about me? -I don't say anything about you Rob.
I'm sorry about Angela Strawberry.
I'm sorry it happened on your ward.
Please don't say it wasn't my fault.
I just need someone to acknowledge I could've done better.
You could've done better.
If not tonight can I see you tomorrow night? -I'm married.
-I know.
What happened shouldn't have happened I'm sorry.
I'm not.
See me again.
Bollocks.
Morning.
Ooh.
Morning.
I want it out.
He'll make his appearance when he's good and ready.
Do you think about other people or scenarios during sex? Oh I think that I'm a giraffe.
A giraffe? -Oh and do you enjoy sex? -No.
Would you describe it as satisfying or unsatisfying? Unsatisfying.
-And what is the most unsatisfying? -Oral.
Okay.
And how much would be enough? Just some.
Okay thank you.
I know you're dying to ask.
I'm not.
Okay I'm asking.
I'm conducting interviews with sexually active patients and members of the staff.
Those who consent are being enrolled in a pilot study for bisphenafil as a possible treatment for FSD.
-FSD? -Female Sexual Dysfunction.
-Does Kat suffer from -Shoo! Female Sexual Dysfunction that's why you've not asked me is it? I assumed you were involuntarily celibate.
-We're getting there Yvonne.
-I want the little bugger out.

We're going to get you in theatre.
You'll be fine.
-I've got Roger on the phone.

-MAN: What do you want? Oh shit.
Boss? Hi a patient Karen Taylor 39 years old 28 weeks gestation.
Probable abruption.
She's bleeding heavily.
BP 1 00 over 60.
Okay I'll finish off this D&C and then come up and join you straightaway.
Thanks boss.
HAZEL: You did it Yvonne.
Is he okay? He's fine.
Lovely.
Oh baby.

(KNOCKING ON DOOR) Mr Taylor I'm sorry I've got some bad news.
Your baby didn't survive.
(SOBBING) ROB: I'm sorry.
Mark.
I'm afraid Karen's suffered some complications during the operation.
Her heart stopped beating for a time until we got it going again.
Her brain received less oxygen than normal.
I'm afraid she didn't come round from the anaesthetic as we'd expect.
She's in a coma.
There are signs of brain damage.
It may be minor.
She may make a full recovery.
But we can't be certain until she comes round from the coma.
(CRYING) Oh God.
If she comes around from the coma.
I'm very sorry.
(KNOCKING ON DOOR) It's okay.
I'll take him.
-Can you get me a camera please? -Yeah.
You can hold him if you like.
He's a boy.
Would you like to hold him? We can take a lock.
Thank you.
We can take a lock of his hair and prints of his hands and feet.
(CHATTERING) He's gorgeous.
Absolutely gorgeous.
(LAUGHING) Something went wrong didn't it? In the operation? Sometimes things go wrong.
Did somebody make a mistake? What's the point of asking you? You all stick together.
Did somebody make a mistake? Did they? Did somebody do this to her? Why didn't anybody stop them? Why didn't you stop them? Why didn't you stop them? Why didn't you stop them? Why didn't you stop them? Why didn't you stop them? Why didn't you stop them? NARRATOR: Next time on Bodies.
Oh shit get that.
Maria if you had a problem with my methods then you should have discussed them with me.
I tried over and over again.
I'm not taking the blame if this baby comes out a fucking muppet.
I'm married.
I can't do this.
Where are my wife's records? You're asking me to blow the whistle.
If you can ignore this case it won't be much longer till there's another one.
Boss this isn't working.
You're in my way.
I've got a patient on the table in there.
If Hurley carries on the way he's going she's gonna be dead in the next 1 0 minutes.
-Is Roger calling me in? -I am.
