The Mill needs a midwife certainly

doctorsnoddy · 16/04/2020 14:10

Leave her alone Emma.

ExpletiveDelighted · 16/04/2020 14:11

Well, 6TL that was nasty.

Raahh · 16/04/2020 14:12

Well, everyone is having a lovely day Grin

ExpletiveDelighted · 16/04/2020 14:12

Dressing gown of doom again tomorrow.

JessicaLangoustine · 16/04/2020 14:16

6TL? (sorry, am a Doctors novice)

Raahh · 16/04/2020 14:20

The actress who plays Emma had been in Doctors in 5 different roles before getting a permanent one- so 6th time lucky- 6tlGrin.

Ooh maybe they could all have complaints and get suspended. That could be fun. And they needn't worry about patients missing out as there aren't any.

Ahhh late to the bloody party again. Son had an Xbox emergency Hmm
Thanks for birthday wishes...not watched yet but read comments and I wondered if it was a skin colour issue too.
How bizarre!

JessicaLangoustine · 16/04/2020 14:41

Oh right! Thanks, Raahh . Wow, she was desperate for a gig, wasn't she?!

I thought Emma was a sympathetic character, from what I've seen so far, but that was really out of order.

I'd say that was an incidence of workplace bullying. It's not as if the management gave Ruhma a chance to do a handover before she left, and she was using established shorthand in the notes. I don't think she's obliged to answer work calls while suspended, and the doctor implied Ruhma was off work from the Mill because she is guilty of something, which is not the case at all (her disciplinary suspension is from the hospital, her suspension from the Mill is on legal/insurance grounds only). Furthermore, the management are obliged to keep in regular touch with Ruhma and provide support to her whilst on suspension - they seem reluctant to do so. She should contact the union. With this, plus the racist soap dispensers, this this is an employment tribunal waiting to happen! (I may be becoming a little over-invested....)

Funster73 · 16/04/2020 14:42

This is for raahhh and red and also for everyone else wondering who Owain with the funky ties is...you’re welcome Grin

You can never be over invested jessica x

Raahh · 16/04/2020 14:48

Funster I was watching him yesterday with his drumming- he really is good. Plus, in the afternoon, he had a really cool llama tie Grin.

I'm a bit obsessed by Owain BlushGrin

JessicaLangoustine · 16/04/2020 14:50

Funster73 Grin Grin

ExpletiveDelighted · 16/04/2020 15:13

Thanks Raahh, the mystery of Owain is solved!

Emma can be absolutely lovely or absolutely horrible, that was her at her worst. However things that you would take to an employment tribunal or the information commissioner's office, or whatever in real life seem to happen on a weekly basis in Letherbridge with no consequences for anyone.

ExpletiveDelighted · 16/04/2020 16:03

Everyone (including me till a minute ago) seems to have completely forgotten that Emma was badly beaten up about a fortnight ago and that her relationship broke up as a result, no support for her either.

Raahh · 16/04/2020 16:05

Expletive very true! One night of wallowing wit Zara, and it's back to work for Emma, it seems.

Funster73 · 16/04/2020 16:10

I love him too raahhand his drumming Star

Raahh · 16/04/2020 16:23

Funster he is great- a ray of sunshine at lunchtime- dd2 and I look out for him every day before Doctors to see what he is wearing . (I might even follow him on FBGrin- he has lovely cats). And a very good looking husband.

Funster73 · 16/04/2020 17:11

Ahhh I love cats too raahh
He’s certainly a ray of sunshine Grin

Raahh · 16/04/2020 17:23

I'm more a dog person (mine is still not talking to me, because he had to go to the vet yesterdayGrin)- but Owain does have cute cats, and a very nice house. I think over the course of him 'working from home' we have seen most of the downstairs Grin, and the garden.

Redshoeblueshoe · 16/04/2020 17:37

Thanks Funster. I am behind, but I'm glad Owain has been mentioned Grin

TDogsInHats · 16/04/2020 17:45

Grin Jessica you really went off on one there... overinvestment at its very best.

Redshoeblueshoe · 17/04/2020 12:57

I've caught up now.
Do the writers know what happens in the real world ? I think not.
Twice I've worked with people who have been suspended. Both times it was made very clear: Do not contact them. Do not speculate. This is not up for discussion !
That's what should have happened with Ruhma.

Funster73 · 17/04/2020 13:44

Ooh Owains got a warm front Blush
