Kerry goes to the hospital to drop off Jacob's food and overhears Dr Todd snapping at him again. When Dr Todd is alone, Kerry confronts her about the way she has been speaking to Jacob and warns her that if she is looking for a fight, she has found one. Kerry continues trying to make Dr Todd understand the pressure Jacob is under outside of work, revealing that this is not the first time he has been taken advantage of by a power‑hungry woman. Dr Todd responds by listing Jacob's mistakes at work so far and suggests that if he cannot cope with the pressure, he should consider withdrawing from his course. Kerry leaves worried that she has made things worse for him. Dr Todd later pulls Jacob aside and tells him about Kerry's visit and her accusation that she has been bullying him. Jacob insists none of it came from him and apologises. Dr Todd tells him to leave early and get some rest.

00:00Out of the HCA's.
00:01We're not training you to work in the laundry room.
00:03I'm sorry, I thought...
00:05No, you didn't think.
00:06You are a fourth-year medical student, for heaven's sake,
00:08and for once in your life, try and behave like one.
00:13Honestly.
00:21Excuse me.
00:22Yes.
00:24Oh, it's Jacob's glamorous step-granny.
00:26Yeah.
00:27He left his food behind.
00:28I just brought it in for him.
00:29I'll pass it on.
00:30Yeah, well, I'm here.
00:31Can I have a word, please?
00:32I'm actually on my way to a meeting.
00:33Yeah, Jacob's actually really stressed after yesterday.
00:36Probably shouldn't be in work today.
00:38I know.
00:39I've told him to take things easy.
00:40Oh, have you?
00:41Weird, cos it didn't sound like that just then.
00:44I'm not following you.
00:45The way you just spoke to him?
00:46The way I just spoke...
00:47Sorry, I'm honestly not sure...
00:48You think because you've got a few letters after your name,
00:50you can treat him like your own personal punch bag?
00:54I think there's clearly been some kind of misunderstanding.
00:56No.
00:57I know exactly what's going on here.
01:00And if you're looking for a fight, you've met your match.
01:04Any new...
01:05He's under.
01:06Most of our students feel under pressure.
01:08Right, and how many of them are married to someone with a life limit and illness
01:11and a baby on the way?
01:12Well, we do have staff support services in place.
01:15I don't think it's the job that's the problem.
01:17I think it's you.
01:18Mrs. Sugden?
01:19It's Pollard.
01:20Mrs. Pollard?
01:22I'm sure I don't need to remind you this is a place of work.
01:24And I do have a job to do so, if you'll excuse me.
01:27He's been here before, you know.
01:29Power mad women exploiting him.
01:31I'm sorry.
01:32What's happened in your life that's made you want to destroy other people's?
01:35I can assure you that Jacob's failings are purely related to poor performance on the job.
01:39Yeah, right.
01:40And I train unicorns for a living.
01:43I know a bully when I see one and I'm not scared to call it out.
01:46Are you aware that he broke a dying man's ribs?
01:50That he gave a woman an incorrect diagnosis?
01:52Do you need me to go on?
01:53Well, that's not the point.
01:54Oh, it's very much the point, Mrs. Pollard.
01:57Right, well, I'm not saying that he's perfect.
01:59I'm just trying to explain to you that there's extenuating circumstances.
02:02Medicine is a demanding discipline.
02:04If Jacob can't handle it, there's a very simple solution.
02:08Withdraw from the course.
02:09But obviously, I'm not suggesting that.
02:11I think it's time you left.
02:13Before you get him into even more trouble.
02:20Can I grab you a minute?
02:22Er, yeah, sure.
02:30I've just had a visitor.
02:32Your grandad's wife.
02:34What, Kerry?
02:35What was she doing here?
02:38Apparently, I've been bullying you.
02:41Oh, my God, no.
02:43That has not come from me, I swear.
02:44Because if you feel that there's something I've done wrong...
02:47No!
02:48No, no, no, no.
02:49Absolutely not.
02:50That's a relief.
02:51After everything I've done for you.
02:52Honestly, she must have just got the wrong end of the stick.
02:55I'm hard on people because I care, Jacob.
02:58I know.
02:59I know you do.
03:01I'm really sorry.
03:02Oh, there's no need to apologise.
03:04I know what pressure you students are under.
03:06In fact, why don't you go home early this evening?
03:09Think about it.
03:10Take some time out.
03:11I don't want to leave everyone in the lurch.
03:13I'm sure Rich will cover.
03:15OK.
03:16Hello.
03:23You take care now.
03:25Bye-bye.
03:25Bye-bye.
03:25Bye-bye.
03:25Bye-bye.
03:26Bye-bye.
03:27Bye-bye.
03:27Bye-bye.
