Luca Mcintyre (played by Ross Mclaren) tries to help patient Mavis Greer (Melanie Kilburn) get the right heart medication on Doctors

While working at his previous surgery, Luca is seen secretly helping elderly patient, Mavis Greer (Melanie Kilburn, who has previously had roles on The Bill, Coronation Street and EastEnders).

Mavis needs more of the medication she was given while in hospital.

Trouble is, the surgery can't prescribe it since the American company who own the practice won't issue it.

Meanwhile, Practice Manager, Noah Levi (Alun Raglan) is on Luca's case to complete some online training.

But when it becomes clear Luca is not focused on the assignment because has been busy helping Mavis, things get heated between Noah and Luca!
