Patients

Terry Fox- He has come in for scans of his stomach to find the cause of his pain. Ric tells him that he has a mass in the stomach, which could be cancer, but he is not sure. Hoping not to worry Lisa, he later tells her that he has to go in for a hernia operation, rather than admitting the truth.
