I missed the first half hour, Rosie is pregnant, which was discovered during an operation (for what I ain't sure) but the drugs they gave her can harm the baby, Rosie is very excited, and Mubbs is going round to the idea, so god knows why he wanted to snog that old trout!!!

cellulitequeen · 30/11/2004 21:09

I only saw the first bit (as recording the rest). Rosy was run over outside the hospital, just thought she was bruised but turned out she had a chest bleed. When she was in theatre they discovered she was PG from scan.

cellulitequeen · 30/11/2004 21:10

ps Isn't Carlos a shit?

lydialemon · 30/11/2004 21:11

OK, Rosie was almost hit by a motorbike at the beginning of the episode - ended up with her having to have surgery to drain bloog from her chest. During that surgery they gave her a scan, and discovered she was preggers...!!!

Mubs being mubs is now crapping himself at the prospect of fatherhood, and is looking to spoil it all with some meaningless sex.....

hth

MissHoolie · 30/11/2004 21:12

Rosie had a cario haemo thorax??????????????? So while she was in surgery it was discovered she is pg. ANyway Mubbs has never wanted kids and was always delighted that Rosie had early menopause. He was with "the old trout" Connie a long time ago and I think he just wanted to get his legover.

Carlos is a pig.(but his accent makes me go weak at the knees).

prefernot · 30/11/2004 21:13

I missed it too. So what did Carlos do now?

twiglett · 30/11/2004 21:13

That AS storyline was medical bollocks

MissHoolie · 30/11/2004 21:18

Wonder when they are going to get a few "normal" births. Something always goes wrong.

twiglett · 30/11/2004 21:20

wouldn't be very intersting to watch though would it ..

Bring back Zubin

prefernot · 30/11/2004 21:29

So what DID Carlos do?!

MissHoolie · 30/11/2004 21:30

ooh yes. I would think he will come back though and he and Sean will fight man to man for Nursey Nurse (can't think of her name)

MissHoolie · 30/11/2004 21:31

Carlos told Tricia that he couldn't cope with her not beign well and him having no way of helping her. He wathched his, sister?, die and he couldn't watch her. He asked if they could still be friends.

bundle · 30/11/2004 21:33

twig what was it about? i missed it too

prefernot · 30/11/2004 21:37

That whole Carlos story sucks though doesn't it? There he was being Mr. Perfect and suddenly in the blink of an eye he doesn't want to know.

twiglett · 30/11/2004 21:44

Oh its just that

WARNING WARNING BORING RANT AHEAD

  1. there's no test for ankylosing spondilitis per se .. you can test for HLAB27 gene which is a diagnostic aid should people present with the symptoms but does not mean that you will have / get it

  2. fine so 50% chance of inheriting gene .. but a child of an AS parent only has a 10% chance of developing an illness .. and people can develop AS without having the genetic marker at all... they intimated that it was a given because of the gene showing on the daughter's test

It was just very misleading .. mother has it so if child has the gene then child WILL get it .. bollocks bollocks annoying bollocks

RANT ENDED

you can look back now

mieow · 30/11/2004 21:49

Isn't it mainly boys that get AS anyway? My dad has AS and we were told that, as girls, we have less chance of delovopling it, but our brother has a higher chance.

bundle · 30/11/2004 21:50

twig, that's really interesting. i think you should email the programme, they did some really pants stuff recently about antiphospholipid syndrome too, who on earth is advising them????

twiglett · 30/11/2004 22:00

Sorry no mieow .. its a common misconception that AS is a mainly male disease .. I think its just that women have a different fusing path in general (slower to fuse so doesn't show up on x-rays as quickly) and also it is far more likely that a doctor will shrug off a woman's pain (or was) and take a man's seriously so investigate

Many GPs are still in the dark about that (and some rheumys too)

(I meant to say overall 5% chance of developing AS if a parent is affected factoring in the 50:50 genetic marker ..but its all statistical bollocks anyway)

pet peeve .. sorry to be dull

mieow · 30/11/2004 22:07

thats interesting Twiggy, I don't understand all the 50:50 marker thing, but I know my dad get worried if we get an ache or pain.

merlot · 30/11/2004 22:33

Thanks everyone - annoying that they are getting the medical facts wrong.

I missed the bit towards the end where Tiscia tackled Carlos and told him she still loved him. What happened?

Also didn't Mubbs push Rosie out of the way of the motorbike so actually caused her injuries albeit not intentionally?

I can't believe they spotted a baby in her womb when they were supposed to be scanning her spleen!!!

merlot · 30/11/2004 22:49

Trisha told Carlos off for being a sh*t and deserting her when she most needed him. She said that she had not let her guard down for anyone in a long time and that he had abused her trust - but she still loved him. Then she said that she had to love herself more than him though, and walked off into the sunset (or through the hospital door!)

Mieow .. if you want I can give you a quick noddy-type explanation of the genetic marker thing .. but won't bore you otherwise ... let me know

MissYulie · 01/12/2004 23:56

They have got a lot of stuff wrong recently. the thing that bugs me is that they have partners\husbands\significant others in theatre with their loved ones. That is not allowed.
