Nice to meet you Geraldine.
This is Shereez, Dr. Rolleston's niece, practically royalty.
Sweet.
I am loving Maeve already.
Same.
Every time I see her she's focused, working hard she's setting a great example for the
team.
Well Nicole's already doing that and she's DON.
Mum it's fine.
Zara pushing Chris aside.
It's not like that.
Cracking the whip and we're already working to full capacity.
So back to Kylie.
Oh oh yes yes poor angel she'll be in the clinic for a while then, well yes who knows.
Oh yes he twisted his ankle at the gym I'm a couple of minutes away from twisting the
other one.
Why does he keep bothering you?
Yeah he says he's got to be somewhere important, don't we all.
Hey Geraldine.
Funny.
Hello you two, on babysitting duty.
Yeah, the joys of being an uncle.
Frank hi, I've been thinking about you and Chris, the whole Warner clan.
On the plane, flying and thinking.
You talking about Phoenix.
Yes, tragic and poor Tess isn't coping.
What, where is she?
She's okay she had a bit of a spin out but I think I sorted her out and it's just about
listening you know.
Yeah thanks for caring.
Yeah and how are you, must have been hard learning all that about Kylie?
Harder on her, learning about herself.
Yeah, maybe we should visit her, keep her spirits up.
She doesn't want to see anyone.
Well she might say that but she doesn't mean it.
I've tried.
Y- you went to the prison?
Wouldn't even let me fill out a form, no visitors.
Mmm well if you ever want to talk I'm here.
Cheers.
Ten out of ten for effort, love, but Kylie Brown can't be swapped out like a guest bottle
at a barbie, she's unique.
So am I.
Yeah of course, where's ankle man going?
Home.
What you sent him away?
We, we can't do that can we?
Wait do what?
Tell a patient to leave without him seeing a doctor.
Oh I didn't tell him, I gave him options and he chose to leave.
Couldn't you get in trouble for that, though?
No Zara knows what I'm doing and this way we free ourselves up to deal with serious
patients and more time to gossip, so go for it ladies.
Cheeky.
Brainy more like, giving the patients options.
I'll ring you if I need you but I don't need you.
Have a lovely day goodbye.
That Chris, checking in?
Telling me to keep an eye on the nursing staff going beyond their purview.
Is he talking about Maeve?
Who knows?
Well she's a nurse practitione,r she works independently, he knows that.
Let's not give it a second thought.
Well hang on why is he even raising the issue, isn't he out of town with Michelle.
Probably got security cam access listening to our every word.
Mother, have you got something to do with this?
Uh sorry?
I was away with the fairies thinking about knitting something for a Eddie's baby.
Why she's...
Next time you get hay fever think GT, not me, okay.
Hey how is your team?
Can you believe I've got time for a coffee break?
World's upside down and I love it.
Hey I just want to thank you, Maeve.
For your work today, all of you.
Yeah we crushed it.
Yeah I was expecting it to be mad in here but we're actually on top of things.
Yeah well we got a system.
And it's working.
And it's called turning people away.
Mum.
I'm watching you, missy.
Do you like what you see?
Don't you sass me!
Maeve is a nurse practitioner.
Yes but she's not a doctor and Chris isn't happy.
It was you wasn't it you called him.
I don't think you understand my status in the Warner family now, I am in a circle.
You were booted out.
Yes I got let back in.
Uh Chris, yeah they're at it again, mm-hmm completely defying your orders.
It's so quiet in here.
Don't curse it.
I think I saw a tumbleweed.
Let's keep it that way.
Isn't there a rule about food at the desk.
My bad.
Go in the staff room, it's not busy and you've got plenty of cover, it's just how a well
run hospital should be.
Why do you keep spoiling me?
Because you keep vacuuming my bedroom.
Well it's my job, but maybe we should have a code in case you bring home a lady friend.
Oh I'll just txt dad.
Or you could hang your cap on the door handle and I'll just go straight past.
All right copy that.
What what's it like?
Frank's bedroom?
I'm not telling you.
Know I mean I mean the whole house, the vibe.
Oh it's a bit of a downer at the moment thanks to Phoenix and Kylie.
What that needs is the zap of life, fresh face.
Well yeah I try.
Sorry what was that.
Oh I'm just so glad everyone has time for chitchat around here.
Oh we are connecting as colleagues, communication is key to efficiency during busier times.
Hey I need a wheelchair.
I know this guy.
You sent him away.
I gave him options, did did your hayfever get worse?
He's short of breath.
I knew something like this would happen.
Okay mate let's just sit you down.
No no no no.
Ok get a stretcher let's get him to ED.
Well I'm gonna have to call in extra medical staff.
Do it.
What has even happened here?
Maeve happened.
Mum.
I don't understand she's been sending patients away before they've been properly assessed
but she's stopped that now.
I was giving them options.
And then Shereez copied her but the patient came back, couldn't breathe.
Why wasn't I informed?
Harper talked me through the case, and he is fine now and I'll be speaking to Sheree
when things settle down.
Yeah I've been saying all day that Maeve needs to get to know the staff, communicate.
Gossip is not communication.
And then she would realize that Shereez had gone beyond her brief.
I don't mind being called out but not by the admissions clerk.
Chris Warner told me direct that he does not want patients sent away from here before they've
been seen by a doctor.
Oh you spoke to Chris Warner about me, is she for real?
Okay everybody just stop talking.
What's going on?
Chris.
I left you in charge.
You don't need to be here, Chris.
Clearly you're not coping.
Excuse me.
Perhaps we should take this somewhere else.
What so you can insult me in private?
I'm away for one day and essential protocols around patient safety are just ignored.
Absolutely not.
Well it sounds like it to me.
And you sounds to me like.
Oh come on say it.
No not here.
Well where then, you won't talk here you won't talk upstairs you won't defend yourself because
you can't.
And you won't let go and you won't face the fact.
What facts?
You're not running this place on your own anymore, Chris, you're running it with me.
I am still in charge, you work for me.
No we both work for the board and they wanted you gone when your son stole a million dollars
from the hospital they don't trust you anymore, Chris, so you better start trusting me.
