Junior Doctors

In Obs and Gynae, 24-year-old Osama performs a tricky stomach drain procedure and gets the opportunity to assist in theatre with his first major operation, removing a large growth from a patient's womb.

Over on obstetrics and gynaecology, Osama seeks advice from some more experienced obs and gynae staff as to what he can expect ahead of his first c-section delivery. The following day, Osama arrives on shift early to prep for his big day. After a successful delivery, Osama wastes no time calling his mum - also a gynaecologist - to tell her the news. On a natural high from a successful day in surgery, Osama meets up with fellow junior doctor Emeka for a game of basketball to let off some steam.

In this episode we see all the junior doctors learn something new, with Jo taking on her first leg fracture pull. Confident Emeka is experiencing nerves for the first time and wants to impress his senior consultant as he assists him in surgery on a patient with stomach cancer. Jess learns the hard way that night shifts bring a lot of responsibilities when she is left alone to deal with a 90-year-old woman who is struggling to breathe, while Jin Ha treats a homeless man.

It is pay day - the first since the government changed junior doctors' wages and working hours, and the pressures of working as junior doctors in the NHS are starting to show. In the ED, newlywed Omar treats a bride who has had a fall on her big day.

First-year Osama faces his fear of private parts when he assists with vaginal surgery, Emeka deals with a patient who collapses on the ward with severe stomach pain, and Jo is tested on a night shift when a patient goes into peri-arrest.

Second-year junior doctor Jo shows how far she has come with her patient skills when she is called to treat a one-month-old baby with a badly swollen toe. The baby's mum is understandably distressed, and Jo displays a great deal of maturity and understanding by reassuring her. Jo's diagnosis of treatment for the baby's toe is correct, building up her confidence.

Emeka gets involved in a dispute over the hospital's dress code and finds out if he has passed into next year. Jo gets involved in her most gory and complicated surgery so far. Anna spends the day teaching a medical student, and Jess helps a patient with a dangerously high heart rate. And the junior doctors gather for dinner to celebrate their successes.
