Plot
Nikki and Comfort are doing a shift together. One of their first patients is Al, a psychiatric case well known to Comfort who has cut off his ear. They are called out to a building site where a collapse has left nine injured. Comfort quickly dismisses several of them as beyond help and they get three to hospital but two of them die; one of them had a pacemaker that masked internal bleeding. The ambulance is also bugged by a group of students making hoax calls so they can film the ambulance; Comfort reports them to the college. They collect a priest who has cancer that he has left untreated. He confesses to Comfort that he abused a girl who used to help clear up after services and she tells Patrick not to try too hard with him, which Nikki sees as another example of her deciding who lives and who dies; the priest dies in Resus. Nikki considers quitting but rallies after saving an old man who had a heart attack at the British Legion. Nikki goes out for a drink with PC Russell and his friends while Comfort, seeming unaffected throughout the day, breaks down in tears watching a sad film with her husband Rob.Template:Series 16
