What is this episode about

Heather Parsons is a young girl who was brought to the hospital with the flu but ultimately dies from meningitis. Although Andrew is on the hook for the misdiagnosis, the blame rests squarely on the shoulders of Andrew’s incompetent primary care physician, Dr. Wilson. To get back at Dr. Wilson, Andrew plays the role of a patient exhibiting diabetes symptoms and turns the tables on him when he doesn’t recognise them. It’s not clear to Maitland if she still wants to be a doctor. Nasreen, a police officer and a long-time friend of Raj’s from elementary school, is presented.

With Danny Webb, Melanie Hill, Peter O’Brien, Helen Baxendale, Andrew Lancel, Jonathan Dow, Ace Bhatti, Jacquetta May, Caroline Trowbridge, Tim Dantay, Pooky Quesnel, Michael MacKenzie,

Season 2 Episode 3

The series follows a group of young doctors as they learn the ropes at a hospital in England. Dr. Andrew Collins (Andrew Lancel), who is naive and idealistic, quickly learns that he has a lot to grow into. Dr. Claire Maitland (Helen Baxendale), however, who serves as his boss, has been there and done that. She’s a skilled physician who has a cynical outlook and isn’t above gaming the system, but she and Collins make a good team because she helps him avoid the many pitfalls that come with working for the NHS..
