S7 E10 (14 Nov 92) : Money Talks by Bryan Elsley

Episode Summary

Duffy receives the date for her cone biopsy. Sandra receives a formal letter informing her of her disciplinary hearing. Julian goes to see her at home and is introduced to her daughter, Laura. Ash tells off Nikki for buying clothes when they can’t afford it. Charlie is nursing a black eye from a drunk patient.

An electricity worker, Fred, on the day before he retires, sees a bird egg collector up a pylon, who has electrocuted himself. His colleague, Alan, goes up to get the climber down, who dies, but eager Fred follows him up and falls 30ft to the ground. He’s taken to A&E, where his wife, Dolly, blames his boss. In ITU, where he recovers, Dolly is glad he’s finally retired.

During the shift, Rob argues with Sandra, and denies instructing Sandra to inject the drug. Later a teenage girl, Jan, is brought in after a party she gatecrashes, unable to breath, with her brother, Dave and friend, Melody. Rob believes it to be just alcohol related and plans to discharge her, but Sandra thinks it has something to do with drugs. She rings Julian at home, who tells her she has every right to put her on a monitor. Julian decides to come in, and when Jan’s condition deteriorates, Sandra gets Dave and Melody to admit she took three ecstasy tablets, bought from Dave’s friend, Jez, who runs a drugs business with him. Dave’s mother, Sally, is furious with him.

An alcoholic boxer, Tom, is brought in with a cut eye, after losing in a fight. He tells his trainer, George, he no longer wants to fight. Tom suffers a detached retina and bruised ribs.
