Ric is in the dock over dead patient in Holby City. Donna to give evidence!
Will Donna’s evidence jeopardise his career?
It's a big day for veteran Holby surgeon Ric Griffin – a coroner's inquest is being held following the recent death of patient Elaine Warren, who died of blood poisoning while in his care.
As the nurse on duty that day, Donna's written a statement and is due to give evidence at the hearing that afternoon. Donna panics, though, when medic Morven reads Elaine's case notes and asks whether Ric prescribed potentially life-saving blood-thinning drugs, as there's no mention of it.
At the inquest, the coroner quizzes Ric about whether he prescribed the drugs. Ric's certain he asked Donna to order them but, when he confronts her later, she's adamant he didn't. Both Donna and Ric insist they never make mistakes – will Donna's testimony put Ric's job on the line?

Or will this patient renew his love of medicine?
