[MR. STEVENSON] | |||
I've been waiting for so long, | |||
Waiting for my doctor to come, | |||
These aches been going on for days now, | |||
And I'm feeling slightly down | |||
[PAGER] | |||
Beep beep! Beep beep! Beep beep! Beep! | |||
Beep beep! Beep beep! Beep beep! Beep! | |||
[DR. PAIGE] | |||
I've been working night and day | |||
Haven't had a wink of sleep | |||
But they've been waiting for so long | |||
(I've been waiting for so long!) | |||
And I'm the one on-call this week | |||
[BOTH] | |||
Heart-beats, heart-beats, heart beats, heart, | |||
Heart-beats, heart-beats, heart beats, heart, | |||
[ADA PAIGE, SPOKEN] | |||
Good morning Mr. Stevenson, my name is Dr Paige, | |||
and I'm the consultant on call today. | |||
How are you? | |||
[MR. STEVENSON, SPOKEN] | |||
..I'm better thank you, but it still hurts when I move. | |||
[ADA PAIGE] | |||
Understandably so - | |||
you might be getting pressure sores, | |||
has the nurse come to change your position? | |||
[MR. STEVENSON] | |||
No, not since the morning. | |||
[ADA PAIGE] | |||
Oh dear, we'll get her here. | |||
The x-ray has come in now, and there is good news sir! | |||
You haven't broken your tailbone and your hip is intact. | |||
[MR. STEVENSON] | |||
Oh thank heavens, I don't know why I let myself fall, I'm such an idio- | |||
[ADA PAIGE] | |||
Don't worry it happens to the best of us. | |||
But more importantly, how are you feeling? | |||
[MR. STEVENSON] | |||
I-I'm okay- | |||
[ADA PAIGE] | |||
Everything well at home? | |||
[MR. STEVENSON] | |||
I think so but- | |||
[ADA PAIGE] | |||
Great, we'll get you discharged tomorrow then. | |||
[MR. STEVENSON] | |||
But- | |||
[ADA PAIGE] | |||
Is there anything else, sir? | |||
[MR. STEVENSON] | |||
Yes.. my - my wife hasn't called since yesterday.. | |||
We, always talk once a day, and - | |||
[ADA PAIGE] | |||
Okay. Yes. Um, of course, we will get the nurse to call her up and see | |||
if she's -- | |||
[PAGER] | |||
BEEP BEEP! BEEP BEEP! BEEP BEEP! BEEP! | |||
[ADA PAIGE] | |||
[sigh] Oh dear. | |||
[VERSE 3] | |||
[ADA PAIGE] | |||
There my pager goes again! | |||
[MRS. STEVENSON] | |||
I've been waiting for so long... | |||
[ADA PAIGE] | |||
Give me strength to carry on! | |||
[MRS. STEVENSON] | |||
Waiting for my doctor to come. | |||
[ADA PAIGE] | |||
Thank you sir, have a good rest- | |||
[MR. STEVENSON] | |||
[swing] But doc, please check on my wife.. | |||
[MRS. STEVENSON] | |||
My husbands somewhere in here too! | |||
[ADA PAIGE] | |||
[off-beat-triplets] [snaps, irritation] She's just forgotten to call! OKAY?! | |||
[POLITICIAN] | |||
Don't fall for these doctors lies! | |||
[MRS. STEVENSON] | |||
Please could someone help me out! | |||
[POLITICIAN] | |||
Driving around in their cars! | |||
[ADA PAIGE] | |||
[off-beat-triplets] I should've been done at six! | |||
[MR. STEVENSON] | |||
[dejected] ..Okay. | |||
[POLITICIAN] | |||
Doctors are taking too long! | |||
[BOTH MR AND MRS. STEVENSON] | |||
Heart-beats, heart-beats, heart-beats, heart. | |||
[POLITICIAN] | |||
The public deserve to have care! | |||
[ADA PAIGE] | |||
I'm the one that needs some heeeeelp! | |||
[POLITICIAN] | |||

Heart-beats, heart-beats, heart-beats, heart. | |||
[ADA PAIGE] | |||

[POLITICIAN] | |||
PRIVATIZATION IS KEY! | |||
[ADA PAIGE] | |||
..Shouldn't have gone to med school. | |||

<<<Coda>>> | |||
[ADA PAIGE] | |||
To all my friends that I have lost, | |||
While crossing bridges I have crossed, | |||
Dinners, weddings, coffee sessions, | |||
I'm sorry I was never there. | |||
You see, I've been on call this week, | |||
I'm barely getting any sleep, | |||
I'd love to catch up, I really would, | |||
..But they've been waiting for so long. | |||

[IAN, SPOKEN] | |||
Hey, Ada! Sorry I'm late- | |||
[ADA PAIGE, SPOKEN] | |||
There you are! Handover was an hour ago, what took you so long- | |||
[IAN] | |||
[fast, frantic, stuttering, depressed, verge of breakdown, unstable voice] | |||
I'm - I'm so sorry my mother had another episode, the carer was running late, | |||
I couldn't just leave her there I called up the hospital to try and let you know I guess they didn't ... (sigh) | |||
[ADA PAIGE] | |||
.. | |||
[having just learnt that Ian has it so much worse] | |||
[long pause to break the flow] | |||
..Oh.. no they.. I'm sorry to hear that. | |||
[IAN] | |||
[a little more composed] | |||
It's fine. Thanks for covering Ada. | |||
Really appreciate it. Hope the patients didn't give you too much trouble? | |||
[ADA PAIGE] | |||
(pause) | |||
..No, no, not at all.. | |||
[tries to remain composed] | |||
Hey, okay, so, | |||
Mr. Stevenson had fall yesterday, he's - he's doing fine. | |||
But we still don't know if it was mechanical or syncope. | |||
[FADE OUT VOICES START, CAMERA PANS AWAY FROM DOCTORS TO PATIENT] | |||
[smooth calmer talking from here on as they | |||
find comfort in the routine of handover] | |||
[IAN] | |||
He doesn't remember? | |||
[ADA PAIGE] | |||
No. X-rays were all clear. | |||
[IAN] | |||
