The newest Dragon Sara Davies chats to Matt and Michelle about joining the Den. Plus comedian Rhod Gilbert and best-selling author of 'This Is Going To Hurt', Adam Kay.
Still reeling from his mistake, Adam becomes increasingly difficult to be around. While he clashes with a colleague over a patient, he tries to make amends at home.
Adam and Shruti struggle to help vulnerable patients, a politician visiting the ward makes everyone’s lives harder, and Adam makes some big steps in his personal life.
Adam’s mistake comes back to haunt him, and he tries desperately to dig himself out of trouble. Shruti is excited to find a promising new mentor.
It’s the day of Adam’s engagement party, but his work stress is becoming increasingly overwhelming. Shruti tries a new tack but doesn’t get the outcome she hoped.
Heartbroken Adam does his first shift at a posh private hospital and finds that it’s not all it’s cracked up to be. Shruti has a challenging night shift on the NHS ward.
