A former miner is brought in as he is struggling to breathe, while Sister Jane is battling a seemingly never-ending stream of emergency patients in the hub. Eighty-four-year-old Anthony has a suspected broken shoulder but, as he is also the carer of his vulnerable wife, Clinical Practitioner Chantelle needs to balance what is best for her patient with his caring duties at home.

Advanced clinical practitioner Chantelle orders an urgent CT scan to asssess whether 79-year-old John has sustained any brain damage after falling at home and cracking his head. To complicate matters, John has a large cancerous growth on his cheek that has also been caught during the fall.
