The temperature rises in ITV1’s medical drama “Malpractice” as the Medical Investigation Unit (MIU) continues to turn up the heat on Dr. Hernandez and the entire obstetrics department. Following Maria Carter’s testimony, the investigation digs deeper, leaving few unscathed. Tuesday’s episode hints at a widening inquiry that examines systemic issues that may reach far beyond the actions of any one doctor.
The episode also puts more pressure on the hospital trust itself, whose confidence in the MIU team seems to be wavering. Is this genuine concern about the methods of the investigation or something else entirely?
Meanwhile, Ford’s pursuit of the truth takes a worrying turn. The information he finds seems to not only push him, but to push him over the edge. Kate takes notice of his disturbed behavior, and I’m starting to wonder if his obsession will be his undoing.
With a shocking secret threatening to expose the deception at the heart of the case, “Malpractice” looks set to deliver another dose of high-stakes drama. Tune in to ITV1 this Tuesday, 6 May at 9:00 PM.
