This Is Going To Hurt. Shruti (Ambika Mod)
A politician's visit to the ward puts even more pressure on the already beleaguered hospital workforce.

Further details

While head midwife, Tracy, reluctantly papers over the cracks on the ward, Adam is preoccupied by a distressed older patient.

Shruti suspects a pregnant patient has a violent partner, but struggles to get her alone. At home, Adam attempts to tell his judgemental mother about his relationship with Harry. Adam finally opens up to Harry, but a big secret remains unsaid.
