The first hint that things aren’t quite right happens when transporting patient Ellis Garrick, whose arm has been severed off in a traumatic car crash, from the ED to theatre.
When Ellis starts losing blood in the lift, Russell (Robert Bathurst) insists that, instead of using a tourniquet, Rida (Sarah Seggari) stems the flow manually while he carries on discussing golf with his male colleagues!
And, although baffled by the request, Rida brushes it off and complies, even though it leaves her drenched in blood
The second red flag, however, is harder to ignore. As she’s scrubbing in, Russell causally glides his hand over her waist! Shocked, she shelves the incident and focuses instead on the thrill of assisting in theatre where the senior medic expertly stabilises Ellis and prepares him for reattachment surgery.
