Episode Summary

However, Meyer cannot stay in bed and Chrissie berates him when she finds him catching up on paperwork in his office. With the help of Stan, Meyer leaaves the hospital as he feels his team can’t concentrate and get on with their jobs with him around to ‘fuss’ over. ‘My exit will be greeted with a degree of annoyance’ says Meyer to Stan. ‘Don’t feel you have to fall on your sword. I want no recrimations directed towards you. Blame me entirely.’
But before he leaves, Alex complains to him about the attitude of his locum Alistair. ‘He has a serious attitude problem. He delights in trying to put me down,’ says Alex. There is little consolation from Meyer. ‘There have been times when I’ve made people feel very small. Keeps them on their toes. Have you ever considered why Mr Taylor is talking to you in this way?’
