00:00Previously on Shortland Street
00:02Coffee? Nope.
00:03Okay, I don't feel like being the third whale anyway.
00:05Your full-time contract, it's a good offer, don't take it.
00:08Back off and stay the hell away from us.
00:10He's been giving you space, like you asked.
00:12Tell me you're not waiting for him.
00:14Maybe we give another shot?
00:20She's so small, I'm worried she won't survive another infection.
00:24I'm concerned her temperature is still elevated.
00:26You think she might have developed a resistance to the antibiotics?
00:29I hope not, but...
00:31But it's most likely.
00:32Well, swab again. Do an updated MCNS.
00:35Sorry, is this Sammy?
00:37I know, I know.
00:39Connor in room five is waiting for a post-op review.
00:41Yeah, I know.
00:42Then I wouldn't make that your focus.
00:44Sure.
00:45Nothing back from the library, the parasites, by the way.
00:48Give me a post-it.
00:50I'll let Katie know.
00:51Go gently, we still have other options then.
00:53I don't want to add any more stress.
00:54Sure.
00:55Nas, I think there's some things we need to clarify.
00:58Sure.
01:00Monique came to find me yesterday.
01:02She was pretty upset about my job offer, remaining here, near you.
01:06That's somewhat understandable, don't you think?
01:09She told me to back off of your relationship.
01:11Again.
01:12Look, okay, I'm sorry.
01:14I'll...
01:15I'll talk to her.
01:16I'm gonna need more than that.
01:17Look, I'll sort it, okay?
01:19Clarify that we're just working together, and you'll take the job if you want.
01:22Nothing to do with us.
01:23And if I do, will this keep happening?
01:25No.
01:26Okay.
01:27So are you gonna take the job?
01:30I don't know yet.
01:32There's still some things that could swear the balance.
01:34You're like a sparkling diamond that's in the shade or needs a clean?
01:42I mean, it's a bit extreme and the metaphor needs work.
01:45Sorry that your friend sucks and that I'm not a poet.
01:48Sorry, it sounds like you're in love with yours.
01:50What?
01:51Look, I know it's hard when your best friend gets all romanced up, I get it, but this is
01:55over the top.
01:56It's not, okay?
01:57She would do this for me.
01:58She doesn't want to know what you think.
02:00Otherwise, she would have told you that they got back together.
02:02She chose to go back to him.
02:04Criticizing her for doing so is only gonna push her away.
02:07No, he might have a point.
02:09Oh, careful.
02:10Don't spill them.
02:11Thank God.
02:12Couldn't take another singe latte from the cafeteria.
02:13What can I say?

03:08just try and keep still for us okay Ivan or not okay then call surgical will you get vascular
03:17and plastic down here please oh here they are almost on time what have we got this is Ivan
03:26crushed his arm in a conveyor belt uh how long was he trapped for uh the paramedics had about
03:31two hours give or take they had to call firefighters at the machinery apart Ivan can you move your
03:35fingers for me nah nerves a shot to hell no way mate no no no thanks you're welcome can you get
03:43five milligrams of morphine already done nice get you two cuties uh can you get me a ct scan how do
03:51you know exactly where the arterial damage is and how much see what's left for us to work with
03:54so you two good then yeah I'll try my best not to screw it up this time good because probably
04:02there's a catch yeah I know it hospital is only turning a profit because of Julian's leadership
04:09as opposed to mine I mean the dividend payout could signal to people that he knows what he's doing
04:15the vote could go his way it's a reality no they will see him for what he is he's a man who puts
04:20profit before people maybe you should stay away from him until this is sorted why because he clearly
04:26gets under your skin can handle it handle what now we we don't know whose side she's on yes sir
04:33I'm right here Julian's offer to buy out employer shares void the co-op oh yeah that that it goes
04:40against everything we worked hard for everything you worked hard for are you gonna sell i don't know
04:45i'll look at my portfolio you had a portfolio what not just a pretty face i listened to all the
04:51finance podcast the curve girlies they saved my bank account you should listen to them thanks for

05:15about zoia because she's only perfect on paper i remember she told me you had another chat with
05:19her yeah well i didn't exactly threaten to rip her face off like a chimpanzee if she broke us up i was
05:26i was respectful fish she works here maybe permanently it's not fair to create a hostile environment for
05:33her so you're gonna take her side i'm not taking oh hell no i'm sorry you're sorry you have to go save
05:41babies with zoia it's my job mom yeah i'm aware just just go

13:16it's about sammy
13:18i've got good news if that helps
13:20thank god
13:22we think we've found a way forward to help fight sammy's infection
13:26it's called hyperbaric oxygen therapy
13:28it helps pump more oxygen into the new skin
13:32which helps the cells grow faster and stronger
13:34which means that the new graft is more likely to take
13:38uh okay
13:39what she said
13:40it's the best step forward
13:42oh
13:42okay
13:43thank you
