He's hypoxic.
Do we have a choice?
We need to do a crike.
(Wayne) The cognitive test did reveal some issues with his speech.
(Pete) From the cut?
(Wayne) Yeah, but they've attempted to repair it.
We'll know more in the coming weeks.
(Leonie) Eliza and I got a call from Clinical Governance yesterday about the incident review into White Cliffs.
They've asked for Eliza to run it.
(Eliza) You do know that this is about an incident, not about a single clinician?
How much you drinking lately?
Zero.
I've given up.
For real?
Take my pills and insulin.
Wayne's not available.
Try Eliza and Graham?
Beautiful Eliza?
Hey?
Yeah.
You two shacked up yet or what?
(Pete) Oh, well, I should have told you.
It's a one-time thing.
Is this why her running the review has been such a problem?
It isn't.

I left my prayer boots in the washing machine again.

Who are you and what have you done to my son?
(Darren) I took a couple weekend cooking classes.
It's not a big deal.
-Hey, Daz?
-Mm-hmm?
Could you call my phone, please?
(Darren) Yup.
Hang on.
(Mira) Wayne!
(Wayne) Sorry, Timmy's boots.
He forgets he's living with women.
Wait, can you call it again, I can't hear it.

They're prayer boots, so... (Mira) What are prayer boots?

He does smoke outside, Miz.
(Mira) Okay, but when the baby comes, that one's got to stop smoking 'cause it's disgusting.
Can we all just stop, please?
Sorry, I just-- I did all of this because, uh, I wanted to have a nice family brekkie, because I've got some news, and...sorry, I wasn't sure who to tell first, so I thought I'd tell you all at once, but, um, I'm, uh, decided I'm gonna move to Dubbo.

Oh, yes!
Yes!
I'm so sorry, but I have to go, all right?
I'll, um, I'll talk to you later.
-Yeah.
-Hello?
Yeah, I'm, uh, fine, you?
(Eliza) Any critical incident review looks systematically across all processes.
Rostering, fatigue, policies.
Procedures and equipment, safety mechanisms, environment, patient practice, and knowledge and skills.
(Pete) The SAT phone reception was patchy, the roster was in chaos, the environment was mud and dirt, the SMO was exhausted, and the patients were drunk, so, yeah, I guess that leaves knowledge and skills.
This isn't a witch hunt.
I just, I really want you to know that.
Um, are you ready to start?
Yeah, fire away.
(Eliza) So you were short a doctor, because the back-up hadn't been confirmed.
(Leonie) That's right.
I'd had some personal news, which caught me off guard and as a result I, uh, well, I dropped the ball.
(Eliza) When did you first notice something was wrong?
(Pete) On the plane, so the patient de-saturated below 90, but Fio2 was 100 and circuit, tidal volume, peak pressures, everything was fine.
(Leonie) I was the back-up.
I assumed the message to Wayne had sent.
Regrettably, it hadn't.
(Pete) So I checked breath sounds and saw that the tube was 28 centimeters at the teeth, so I listened to the chest and realized that the tube was only in the right lung, and that's when I decided that we had to adjust.
But the locum said not to touch the tube.
He also said that the tube was at 26 centimeters.
It's really hot in here, isn't it?
The air con must be off.
(Matty) And then turbulence hit.
And it just kinda, uh, came out.
(Eliza) You tried with direct laryngoscopy and blind bougie?
But the airway was a mess, we couldn't see anything, so both attempts ended up esophageal.
-What happened then?
-Oh, well, then we two-person bagged and masked.
That was no good.
(Chaya) We went blind bougie and then LMA.
Did you try a Guedel?
(pulsing music) No.
(Eliza) And that's when you hit the vortex?
(Pete) Yeah, well, we decided that I--I decided he needed a surgical airway, yeah.
(Eliza) And what technique did you use?
Finger scalpel.
(Eliza) And when was the last time you had a simulation with that?
I don't know.
Maybe two mon--three months?
♪ Did you consider the scalpel bougie technique with the turbulence, given the risk of losing the hole or slicing your finger?
Why, is that what you would have done?
-It's not about what I-- -Do you think it would have made a difference to his voice?
It's not about blaming, it's about trying to figure out how we can all do better for the future.
♪ Oh, morning, Daddy!
(Wayne) Uh, two things.
Never call me that again, and that would be my desk.
-What's that face?
-What face?
(Matty) You know an, um, worried but still in control, kind of, not in control look you've got on.
It's nothing.
-You sleep here?
-Me, yeah, uh, I, yeah, had the late shift last night, and then the review thing was really early this morning.
It's crazy.
What's with the suitcase?
(Matty) Oh, that suitcase?
Ferret and I kind of had, um, a big fight last night.
I said some mean things.
He said some things.
Wasn't good.
Uh, sorry, Matty.
You okay?
Yeah, yeah, I'm fine.
Just...but also kind of not.
Pretty sure it's done.
(Wayne) I mean, are you, though?
Sometimes a bit of space can help.
(Matty) Mmm, if I'm honest, it's been coming for a while.

Okay, well, just, you let me know if there's anything I can do, okay?

Yeah, yeah, no, I heard you.
Ex-army, childhood asthma, drug-resistant TB and PPE.
Well, I'm in a conundrum.
I either drink a whole lot of water now and avoid the debilitating dehydration of full PPE on a hot plane, but then I'll be needing to pee all day in a suit I can't remove on a plane with no toilet.
That's a conundrum.
Uh, gloves?
(Eliza) Thanks, so what's your strategy?
Either pack an incontinence pad or go easy on the sports drinks.
Goals?
Hey, um, are we all right?
Yes, of course.
(Graham) Full PPE in 40 degrees.
Love a sauna.
So do you want, uh, broad spectrum antis anyway, or...?
(Eliza) Yeah, worth a shot.
(grunt, clattering) (Leonie) What is this doing here?
(Graham) You all right?
(Leonie) I'm fine, I'm fine.
Why is there a suitcase in the middle of the floor?
(Matty) Sorry, that's-- (Wayne) Sorry that's mine, I had to bring some gear in.
(Leonie) How many times do I have to go through the safety guidelines?
(Wayne) Yeah, oh, okay, it's my fault, sorry.

We'll keep him high flow, 60 liters a minute.
We've got a bit over an hour and a half.
(Eliza) I think we should intubate now, before we move.
Intubate?
Really?
It'll preserve oxygen supply, saves us doing it mid-flight in case he tires.
Plus it'll have the added benefit of bringing his temperature down.
Sorry, uh, my goggles keep fogging up.

Yes...drugs, equipment, ready to go when you are.

I really like the British seasons.
They're my favorite.
