What the f is happening on Holby City? (spoilers)

I've just come on to ask the same- I NEED to know! xx

I don't know, but people are DYING, maaaaaan <panics>

I'm watching too, is there something airbourne which has spread through the air conditioning system? That's the only bit I got from Joseph.

According to digital spy,"Joseph and Jac are trapped in a cordoned-off operating theatre, as the medical drama continues. They are operating on a man who, they later discover, has been transporting contaminated waste"

I have absolutely no idea how contaminated waste could possibly have this kind of effect. Any medics have any idea? What a bunch of arse. Gripping arse, but arse nonetheless ?

It's certainly gripping. I knew the female anaesthetist was bound to go as, never having seen her before, she was the equivalent of a red shirt in a Star Trek landing party on a hostile planet. ?

You know someone's name you are doing better than me!

Why aren't they both on continous oxygen?

Well quite, presumably it's on tap in operating theatres?

That's what we said, never seen her before so she's def going to cark it ?

As an aside, I'm amazed people continue to employ Patsy Kensit, it's been so long since her face moved she probably can't remember how to do it unaided.

I was thinking this too Hazel, surely unless he has a bucket of the stuff on him (which is unlikely in theatre) how on earth are people treating him dropping like flies?

And more to the point what kind of waste is it to have this kind of effect?

Me thinks the scientific advisor on Holby needs shooting ?

Oooh here we go.. what is it?

It's too late for that now. It's in their bloodstream now and they're playing a waiting game. They've got about 5 more minutes before Joseph will have to be intubated. Jac hasn't been exposed to the contaminant for so long.

Edge of one's seat stuff. ?

Help - had to cook! Did he die?

Hazel he didn't die, he woke up and Faye was there stroking his arm.... ahhhhhhhhh

Not watching it but they had something that sounded similar on Grey's anatomy where the blood became toxic or something after the person had taken a herbal remedy and once they cut the person open fumes knocked everyone out.

Ahhh you lot! I just blubbed my way through that episode! H was wandering around topping up his wine singing such charming joviel songs that I felt like saying 'don't you know people are dying in this hospital!' but I knew that would just encourage him......

I LOVE Holby and am not sure I have ever missed an episode in many many years.....?

I got in late and forgot it was on, which is a bit annoying now as after watching it last week I was wanting to know what was going on. Grrrrr silly work getting in the way of my tellybox watching!

PMSL ?

And that's the danger of herbal remedies chaps ?

A spoiler 2 days before it is aired ! That is good ! ?

(why do BBC Scotland insist on showing things on different days?)

Oh, good. I can never remember what night it's on, so thought I had missed it. but now I've thread this thread. Damn.

? Psychic Spoilers !
