Pippa is preparing her research paper, while Den and Kim deal with a male referral. However, it's Ivy, a problem patient, who dominates the day.
Further details
Ivy, a problem patient, dominates the day. Aggressive and unpleasant, she sets a chain reaction in motion that sees Hilary in tears and Kim in trouble.
Elsewhere on the ward, life and death continue as normal. But, with MRSA a factor, losing a patient could have a bigger significance.
