Synopsis

Drama about a group of student nurses in a London hospital. Mick Lennox is recovering from her suicide attempt in her room when she finds cockroaches. Alan calls maintenance and lets her use his room, and while he is away, Mick snoops through his belongings and finds a picture of him and a little boy. She steals it. She later tries to break into Cassie's room, but the maintenance man disturbs her. Cassie's violent husband has found out where she is living, so she goes to see her mentor about new accomodation, only to discover that she is an old friend. On the ward, Alice tries to reassure a patient with a blood clot, and the surgeon arrives late and appears to be drunk. Alan decides to lodge a complaint.
