At the end of the gruelling 12-hour shift, Anna heads home to Wales to spend her birthday with her family, leaving her wondering if her patient will make a recovery when she returns.

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.
