Arrival (Season 1 ep 1 "Pilot")
It was a quiet day in the little town of Sebour, a little to quiet. as the town was known to be "everyone knows everyone". As Quinton was looking at the hospital, for his new job as a orthopaedic registrar. As soon as he stepped out of his car, he ran into local doctor Karl Kennedy. "Sorry about that. wasn't looking where I was going." said Quinton, Karl looked up and said "Hey. That's ok. Are you the new ortho doc?" "Yeah. I'm Quinton Philips. Not just a Ortho surgeon mate. I also do Emergency Medicine and dabble a little in neurology, you know gotta keep the skills up." Quinton chuckled. Karl smiled and said "How bout I show you round the hospital?" Quinton nodded and said "That would be great thanks." Quinton and Karl walked around the hospital as Quinton asked, "How long.." "How long what?" "How long have you been a doctor?" "20 years. stopped for a couple to look after family. How about you?" Quinton nodded "15. I went into teaching for a while. When I lost my wife I went back into medicine." "May I ask how?" "car accident. No student should've seen what happened that day. My wife was a teacher, later retired and started book writing." "You were teaching that day yes?" "I was. I was PE teaching on the school oval, when a truck collided with 3 cars. Truck driver died on impact, other cars rolled and went into school grounds..." Quinton stopped as he said "i don't want to get into the rest." Karl nodded and said "its a lot to take in." Quinton then said "Hey. If you want to read up on it, search it Karl. I have a long story. I moved here of a new opportunity, to save others." Karl nodded and said "You're not on the run are you?" Quinton laughed and said "No. I'm not on the run. Truth is... I spent 2 years in jail for assault. I had just retired from the NOL, and was having a heap of trouble. I got into the grog.. had a bad night. smashed someone in the face...I caught the bloke before he hit the concrete. Regretted ever since. I spent 2 years in solitary confinement. In a way its the best 2 years i spent to get myself together... I was suspended from practicing for 3 years and suspended from teaching for another 3. I spent 6 years helping myself." Karl let out a long sigh and said "You know.. that's the most honest I've ever heard a person." Quinton sighed and said "No point in lying anymore. I don't mind it now. Look when I settle in my I invite you and your loved one to dinner?" "I'd like that. I'll ask her." Karl smiled and said "Why medicine. why not go into teaching?" as they passed the emergency room. "I decided to semi retire from teaching, take up my medical career. Made it a lot easier." Quinton and Karl stopped. Quinton looking around and then saying "This hospital, reminds me of the hospital I worked at." Quinton smiled at it brought back memories. Quinton then looked to see a woman walking into a room. "Who was that?" Karl rolled his eyes and said "That would be Terese. But don't go there. she is divorced, and her daughter is in hospital after breaking her pelvis and leg." Quinton had his hand out reading the file he was given by the nurse they passed 4 floors ago. "her daughter is Pepper?" "Yes.. how did you know?" "I work here now Karl, thank you for showing me around." "No issue. Where are you living at the moment?" "I'm staying at the hotel for the moment. But I plan on buying in the famous Sebour st. notoriously hard to buy into." Karl chuckled and said "See you later. Make no trouble!" Quinton laughed as Karl walked away. Quinton knocked on the door and said "Good morning. My name is Dr Quinton Philips, the new Orthopaedic surgeon." Terese looked and said "What about the other doctor? Our doctor." "No doctor gets given the same patient. Just the way it goes." Quinton read the file and said "Fractured pelvis....pain..living.." "What?" "Just catching up. I just moved to the area.." Quinton looked up his face smiling. Pepper saying "Yo. Dr Philips, how long do I have to stay here its been months." Quinton then said "I get that your eager to get out of here, but I just want to one thing." Quinton undid the pelvic binder and did a couple of tests. Terese looking on in awe. "Look. I am not going to lie here. But I reckon you can go home. How long have you been here for?" "4 months Dr Philips." Quinton brought in a Physio nurse and a walker and said "I will release you when you can walk down that hallway unaided." Pepper sighed and said "But its been months." "Months you've been staring away at hospital walls. arguing with Karl and other doctors. Hey I know that. I broke my neck several years ago. I walked out of hospital 6 months later." Pepper in awe saying "What did it feel like?" "Pepper!" said Terese. "Its ok.. haha.. I had family. My wife was with me. Not long after that I lost her you know. She wrote books, she was a teacher as well." "Was one of her books called 'Calling of Grace'?" Quinton smiled and said "Yeah. She did. Her favourite book." Pepper then said "Time to walk." Quinton and the Physio nurse helped Pepper up, she started walking with the walker. She walked outside and walked down the hall. Everyone watching in eager awe. "You that good with everyone Doc?" said Terese. "I wish. I have a lot of skeletons in my closet. I wouldn't blame you if you google searched me." "Any bad secrets the town should know?" "I went to jail for 2 years. assault." Terese nodded and said "Ok." "Don't worry. I'm good now. I was suspended from both teaching and medicine for 3 years each." "Both? You're keen." "just someone who knows what its like. It was never about money when I retired from the NOL.." "You played Oztag." "I did. hated it." As Pepper walked up the hall. Quinton said "I'd lay her off the pain killers now. get the scar tissue moving around the incision." Terese burst into tears and said "Thank you for getting her out of bed Dr Philips." Quinton stood there and whispered in her ear "Its all about the neck story.." "Serious?" "Serious." Terese looked to see Pepper smiling for the first time in months. Pepper then said "I'm walking freely now.. Can we go home please?" Quinton said, "One thing first." "What?" "You'll have physio sessions at least twice a day. you can do it from home. I can send a physio out. Need to get that pelvis strong again. But please be careful. dont push yourself. the sessions will be in 2 hour intervals for at least 3 months. Can you do that for me?" Piper smiled and hugged Dr Quinton and so did Terese. "Go home." Quinton held out the release forms. "Keep that brace until the physio says you don't need it any more." Quinton then walked out of the room and saw Karl. "Karl." "Quinton. The release forms." Quinton handed Karl the release forms and said to Karl. "Its okay mate. I'm not here to take your job." "I know your not mate. But you need to know that.. that was amazing.." "Excuse me?" "Getting her up and out of bed. finally gets her out and home. Good job mate." Quinton confused said "Medicine isn't about getting them out and up quickly. its about doing it right. As an Orthopaedic surgeon Karl, a person gets better at home and around an environment that makes them feeling at home. She is getting home physio for up to 3 months. To me she looked ready to go home when i looked at those 7 week x-rays." Karl said "Alright.. Sorry there." "Nah i'm sorry, just the way I did things back at my old hospital. big surgeries we consistently said 7 week mark was the mark to send people home unless they were cardiac patients." Karl then said "Maybe that can work here?" "Unless its a consistent lot of cardiac patients I don't think so." Quinton chucked. "I'm going to pop out for a lunch break, be back in an hour." Karl nodded and said "sure." Quinton walked outside to see Terese and Pepper just leaving the hospital. Quinton walked to the taxi rank and got in. A few minutes later he walked into the local café named "Barbs". Quinton lined up. Quinton ordered his coffee "Hi. Can I please get a strong mocha latte." "sure.." "Thanks." "You the new doctor? I am yes. Orthopaedic surgeon." "Ooh bones." "I like how that assumption works.." "What do you mean?" "Not just bones, like ligament tears and dislocations, diseases of bones." "I think I get the picture." "I'm Quinton." "I'm Lauren" Quinton pointed to the spot where he was going to sit and he sat down. As Quinton waited for his coffee he read the paper. As someone came in with another friend. "Hey did you hear?" "what?" "Pepes is coming home. Said some new doc was happy with progress and sent her home this morning." Quinton smiled as he continued listening. "3 months physio Pepes said. Still in the brace but better safe than sorry." Quinton chucked to himself as he said "She was leaving the hospital, when I came to lunch." "excuse me?" "I was the doctor who released her." Quinton stood up and said "4 months in hospital is a very long time. All she needed to do was walk up a hall with a walker and try it unaided. I know I shouldn't be discussing this in public, but she said she couldn't wait to tell her boyfriend or something. She looked very happy just to be going home." Quinton smiled. "Names Quinton. Dr Quinton Philips." "Tyler, and this is my brother Mark." Quinton nodded and said. "I'm assuming your the boyfriend. don't wait. go and see her." Quinton smiled. Tyler nodded and shook Quinton's hand. Quinton sat down to his coffee and saw Mark. "Mark." "Dr Philips." "I can tell we will be great friends." Quinton took a sip of his coffee and swallowed it. "Officer Mark.. I can tell. you might bring up my history. So here it is. I am a retired NOL player, I am semi-retired from PE teaching, and I am a doctor. I had a history of alcohol abuse after I retired from the NOL. I spent 2 Years in federal prison for assault. I got suspended from both teaching and medicine for 3 years each. My wife Jen died over a decade ago in a car accident and my son lives in Canada." Mark shocked said "I wasn't going to ask you anything, but wow that is rough." Quinton said "I'm not done yet.. I've been sober for at least 10 years, couldn't stand the drink after the assault charge. If I go drink i only ever drink one. Look Mark. I'm saying this now, just in case I get feelings for one person here in Sebour. I never want to hurt a person. And if you have to see my history it doesn't faze me. I told Dr Kennedy and Terese, everything about me." "You've been busy today." "Of course. no point in lying." "Why are you here then?" "I wanted to get away from my old town. It was getting stale. I had this chat with Karl this morning. I have nothing to hide. Not anymore." Quinton chuckled. Mark then said "If that's all i am happy to be friends with someone like you."

Few Weeks Later (Season 1 Ep 2)
A Few weeks later, Quinton had settled down in Sebour and made friends with mostly everyone. He was on call at the hospital mostly during the night, so he could have the day to himself. Quinton in the few weeks in Sebour had made a close friendship with Terese. Walking around the hospital filling out charts Quinton bumped into Paul, the town 'baddie', Quinton said "Paul." "I see you made friends with Terese." "Like any normal person.. Paul.." Paul scowled and said "What does that mean?" "I know all about your type Paul. You've been in prison I assume?" Paul sighed and said "You're joking right?" Quinton scowled and said "No. I am not joking. I know people like you Paul. Give people the world and take it right out from under them. Lying to get your own way. Yeah I know your type." "For a man who spent only 2 years in jail for assault.." "I'll stop you there. It was in confinement. And it was the best thing that ever happened to me. I really learned a lot about myself. Unlike you." As Quinton continued his tirade on Paul, his daughter Sophie walked past chucking to herself. "That will never get old." "What? someone going off at your dad? or someone wanting to deck him?" "A bit of both.". Quinton then said "I understand you don't like me talking to one of your flames, Paul, but we're grown ups. relationships grow. You either need to step back or shut up. Get over it." Quinton went back on his rounds leaving Paul standing in the corridor. Paul then said "Yeah same."

Meeting an Old Friend (Season 1 Ep 3)
Quinton was in his office at the hospital when he heard a knock on the door. "When a man has that much paper work, he's gotten into the wrong profession." "Kari? Kari Kingram? Is that you?" "The one and only." "Come in sit down." Kari smiled and closed the door. "Its been a while Quinton. Begs isn't the same without you, you know." "Yeah. I know. You know why I had to Kari. After Jen died, I didn't have much to go back to there." "The school. Both hospitals. Its a lot to leave behind you know." Quinton sighed and said "It wasn't easy, it never is. The people here are great, made friends with mostly everyone." Quinton sighed again and said "Kari. I don't want to sound like a complete dick, but what are you doing here? Where is John and your family?" Kari smiled and said "Their, moving in to a place around from Jacobs street. I came to see you. I need something done, and soon." Kari produced a file and showed Quinton an MRI of her leg. Quinton surprised looked at it and said "This isn't great, Kari." Kari nodded and said "Yeah I know. I figured you'd be the best one to help me out." Quinton looked at the scan and said "The bone bruise, indicates you've done your knee. the x-ray is showing me the opposite." Quinton wiped his hand across his face. Kari then said "What is your opinion on this?" "Surgery. depending on how much damage there is, you're looking at a 4-5 month recovery." Quinton then said "The MRI shows the damage to the meniscus, that is 4-6 wks depending on damage, and these bone bruises are a different story. Looks may deceive, but I need to do surgery right away. I'll book you in for later today." "Thanks Quinton" "No problem." Quinton smiled as he said "Tell me Kari. What happened." "What happened when?" "I left Begs." "The school went into a meltdown. If you didn't follow the news, there was a huge breakdown between both staff and the board of education, the board sacked an entire department of veteran teachers, the History department. the school also lost funding, students." Quinton's jaw dropped. "Oh wow." Kari continued "After the storm that happened, the HSIE members that were sacked came back, student numbers climbed. The funding never came back." Quinton then said "What about everyone else were they ok." "Yeah. Took a while but they are fine. We adapt as teachers you know that.." "Yeah I do know that. But now I no longer teach." "Let me tell you one thing Quinton, a lot of people miss you. The other Kari is still in jail you know?" "Oh wow really?" "Yep. After what happened with her driving, she could get out as soon as 2080. But we'll both be dead by then.." Quinton nodded as Kari continued. "Kim became head of HSIE after she was fired and brought back.."

Kari's Surgery (Season 1 Ep 4)
As Kari was waiting for surgery Quinton was talking to her husband John. "John long time no see." "Yes." Quinton sighed and he said "What happened between us is never forgivable. But I want you to know. I have never forgiven my self." "We both did something wrong Q. We never expected it to happen it just did." as the two talked on Kari said "Surgery?" Quinton laughed and said "Yes." as Kari was wheeled into surgery, Karl looked at Quinton and Quinton looked to Karl. "What was that about?" said Karl. "Nothing important. But we apologized to each other for something that happened years ago." "You had an affair?" Karl said to him quietly, Quinton chucked and said "You could say that." Quinton started the surgery and said "I don't understand how a doctor refuses to do a surgery like this. Simple reconstruction, not that hard." Quinton then noticed something. "Read me the notes of that MRI scan." "Everything was clear. No ACL gone. inconclusive." "What is it Quinton?" "This reconstruction will have to wait. opening the leg. can you call in a vasco for me please." As Quinton continued with the surgery, the surgery took a dark turn as the doctors found a blood clot in her leg. "Bingo! blood clot. Hang out." Quinton put his tools down just as the vascular surgeon walked in. "I heard, you ran into a complication?" "Yes. The MRI results were inconclusive, but as soon as we went in. The clot was just sitting there." Quinton sighed and said "She told me that her previous knee surgery the surgeon she had would never touch the knee again.. is this why? Did he do something wrong?" The Vasco nodded and said "He messed up big time. If there is a clot, then there was in infection, Kari would have never known until now. You made the right call. Lets get this clot out and then you can do the reco.." "Is that medically safe?" "ACL reconstruction is through bone, removing a clot is in the vein, yes. It is safe." "Lets do it." 4 hours later the surgery was done and Kari was in recovery. "What took so long Quinton?" "We ran into a complication. We read the MRI scan 3 times, results were inconclusive with anything else. When we started we found a blood clot." "A clot? Is.. she ok now?" "Yes we removed the clot and proceeded with the reconstruction of the ACL and meniscus. Kari is doing very well for someone who had a major surgery. She's gonna need you mate." John nodded and said "How did the clot happen? Did the surgeon she had last do something?" "I cant medically say, but I personally think he did. Look until now some people don't know they have issues or blood clots." John then said "Was the ACL fully ruptured or?" "Partially. still a 4-5 month recovery."

Several weeks later (Season 1 Ep 6)
Quinton was sitting in his office talking to Karl, about his past. "It was something that just happened you know." "An affair is huge. I should know!" "Yeah I know.." "It was a spur of the moment thing. John and I have had a rocky relationship ever since." Karl nodded and said "I surely hope nothing else happened, it was only a one off." "Yeah don't worry. After my wife died, its been hard for me but i have moved on." Karl then said "How did the surgery go?" "Not great." "What happened?" "The doctor who did her previous surgery messed something up in the joint, and Kari never knew, never got sick." "Did you get in contact with the other surgeon?" "I tried to. No response. I rung the hospital he worked at, and they said he just upped and left." "He's done a runner?" "According to the hospital, every patient there had to get their surgery done again. He has wrecked lives. I hope they catch him." "I hope so to." Karl said as he stood up. "Gotta do my rounds, catch you later." Karl opened the door and let Kari in as Karl closed the door to leave. "How you feeling." said Quinton. "A lot better. I just hope they catch the bastard." Quinton nodded and said "Yeah. What he did was wrong." Kari then said "Quinton. I want you to know something." Quinton stood and said "What is it?" outside the room Karl and John moved into the next room that they were in, as they placed headphones in to listen, Quinton was still standing said. "What happened." "The affair we had.10 years ago." Quinton nodded and said "Yes." "I was a couple of weeks after that I fell pregnant. Even after taking a Morning after pill." Quinton was in shock. "What happened?" "John flew out to the states the morning i found out. I remember ringing him that night. Quinton. He knew it was yours straightaway." Quinton went to the wall and stood in the corner. "What happened?" said Quinton. "I miscarried. I was 14 weeks at the time. I was teaching at the time, and most of the staff knew I pregnant, they all thought it was John's, they had no idea what happened a few weeks earlier." Quinton started to tear up. "I remember sitting down to teach, which I never did. One kid had messaged Trish Meriweather and she got there just as the class ended." Trish brought along medical staff. I was carried out of the class room unconscious. I woke up 3 days later in ICU." Quinton walked over to Kari and hugged her. "Kari I am so sorry. words wont say anything. I have no words." Kari looked and said "We named him. Francis James." Quinton released his hug and collapsed to the floor in tears. "Kari. I am so, so sorry.", as Karl and John walked into the office, John looked at a clearly upset Quinton and told him "None of this was your fault. You made us happy. those 14 weeks, we spent together with Francis were the best 14 weeks ever." "It still doesn't change the fact that I did the dirty with your wife." "Quinton..." Quinton cried more until they heard a knock at the door, it was Terese. Quinton didn't looked as John said "sorry Terese. Quinton just found out a bombshell." "I can comeback later." Quinton to upset to talk moved further into his office. "I know he loves you Terese. He has feelings for you. did he ever tell you that he had a one sided affair?" "He did yes. he has been honest with me." "This might come as a shock, but Kari here was having his baby. He had no idea that she conceived or miscarried." "Its a lot to take in. Certainly. But this doesn't change my mind on him. Look what he did was wrong, but he brought you two closer together." "True..." "Look I might take him home if that's ok. He'll be to upset to do any work." Terese helped Quinton up and said "It's going to be ok." Quinton shook his head and said "What a day.." Karl looked at Quinton and said "Mate...take as much time as you need."

Turning To the Drink (Season 1 ep 12)
As Quinton turned to his hotel room, he looked to see Paul with a drink in his hand. Quinton walked over to Paul and grabbed the drink from him. "Hey." Quinton then gave the glass back to Paul and then sat down. Paul walked over to him and said "You alright mate?" Quinton nodded and said "I guess. Have you ever had a bombshell dropped on you?" "Not a literal one.. But yes. I have." "I guess this'll end up going around, but I had an affair years ago with another teacher. I left a month later, found out yesterday. The woman I had an affair with was pregnant and miscarried." Paul looked and said "That is heavy." Quinton got up and said "I need another drink." Paul then said "I thought you didn't drink?" "Times change." Paul then said "Your last drink was before prison." "I see you've done some sleuthing." "I did. You are successful. don't give it up now." Quinton brushed past Paul and said "I don't care. I just need a drink" Paul nodded and said "Be careful." Quinton walked into the local bar known as "The Watering Hole" for the first time in the 5 years he had been there. Quinton sat at the bar and saw John at the table behind him. "Scotch please." said Quinton. "On the house." "You sure." "I'm sure." the barman was Shelia who knew Quinton was going through a hard time. "Want to talk about it?" "Nah I don't." Quinton held the glass to his lips and took a drink. The flavours came back to him. "Is it Terese?" "No. Its not. If you don't mind another one please." Shelia got him another one, as John decided to sit next to Quinton. "It wasn't your fault you know." "I don't want to discuss this John." Shelia than said "Don't worry. Terese told me everything. You should be at home." Quinton sighed. "No. I can do this myself. I am not going to do what some people do. I am not falling off the wagon. All I want to do is have a couple of drinks." Sheila then said "For someone who went to jail of assault." "Not now Shelia. I am a patron. In a bar. Another one please. And John go home." "Okay. Goodnight but be careful." A couple of hours later, Sheila had contacted the police to take Quinton back to the hotel. "How many did he have?" "5 drinks. He knew his limit. But no one else here is sober. Do you mind?" "Sure." Quinton was led outside, where he fell asleep in the paddy wagon. Quinton woke up 8 hours later and saw Terese was making him breakfast. "Quinton. How you feeling?" Quinton grunted and said "Not bad for someone who hasn't had a drink in 14 years." Terese then said "how much did you have last night?" " I don't remember, but i remember being led out of the bar by I think it was Mark. to take me home." A few hours later Quinton was back at the Bar talking to Shelia. "What happened last night?" "A lot. You had a heated conversation with John. You had dinner, and 5 drinks. You were gone after the 5th one. I stopped serving you, and you couldn't get home, so Mark came and got you." "Oh wow that is bad." Quinton checked his phone and he messaged Mark thanking him. Quinton grabbed lunch and returned to his hotel room. For weeks Quinton went on a bender, before one night he was stopped by Terese. "Quinton. You need to stop." Terese gave Quinton an AA card. "You go or I am sending you to rehab." Quinton nodded and said " I tried to stop." "I know you did." Quinton took a few weeks away and came back a new man. Quinton said he didn't fully stop drinking but he could limit himself to at least 2 drinks a week.

Being Shot (Season 1 Finale)
"Has anyone seen Quinton? He's late to work." said Karl. "Nah I haven't. His car is here though." said Dave. "Oh ok. maybe in his office or something. No big deal." Quinton was infact in his office, but was in trouble. But because it was noisy in the hospital no one could here the commotion. Quinton had his hands tied and his mouth gagged. "You ruined my career." As he kicked Quinton in the ribs. "You did surgery on someone who was a medical risk." as he pulled down the gag Quinton said "She was medically fine. You screwed up. You gave her the infection. The blood clot was all your handy work. Dr Marbles." Marbles put Quinton's gag back on and pulled out a pistol with a silencer. Quinton's eyes widened as Marbles took his badge off and put it on the floor. "I want them to find me. When they do, i'll be in the fire well." As Marbles scattered pens and notepads on the floor, he kicked Quinton once more and said "This is the end of you... my friend." As Marbles stood on the other side of the room. He shot to shots from his gun. Quinton screamed in agony as the gag masked the scream. Marbles then took off Quinton's gag, as Quinton spat in Marbles' face, he put Quinton in the corner. Marbles put his gun away and looked out the window to see if anyone was coming. No one was coming. Marbles made his exit and said "See you later. Doctor." the door slammed shut as Quinton freed one of his hands. "ah...." he said in extreme pain. He undid his shirt to see two bullet wounds, one in his stomach the other in his abdomen area. Quinton was closed to one of his cabinets. He opened it and pulled out the cling wrap. Every move painful he managed to wrap his gun wounds. The bullets laying on the ground. Quinton tried to reach for his phone. In so much pain he managed to contact his first contact. Karl. Karl was doing his rounds when his phone rang. "Kennedy." "Karl..." "Quinton! where are you?" "I need....." "You need what? Quinton are you ok?" "Help......I've.....been.....shot.... shooter....in...stairs..." "Quinton where are you?" the line went dead as Karl looked on in horror. But at the moment, security walked past and a police officer as well, it was Mark. "Mark!" They all turned around. "Quinton's been shot!." "What?" "He just called me just then. I don't know where he is but he said shooter is in the stairs?" "I think he's at work!" Mark then said "We need to find both of them. Quinton and the shooter." Karl then said to security. "no one gets in or out. Lockdown the hospital, send all other ambos north. We need to find this guy." as the hospital was put on lockdown, Quinton was laying in his office, unconscious laying up against his table, blood trickling out of his wounds. as Mark ran past his office, Karl was still searching for Quinton. "Karl, whats going on?" said Terese. "Quinton, has been shot. We are trying to find him. I need you to be with Piper. Go!." Terese then said 'Fine. Find him please." Karl continued wandering around when he saw something on the floor. Karl knocked on the door and said "Quinton. Are you in there? Quinton can you hear me?" Karl called out to Mark who helped kicked the door down. When the door flung open, Karl and Mark saw Quinton lying there. "Oh my...God.." Karl rushed over to Quinton and checked his pulse. "No pulse. Press the button. starting CPR." As Karl started CPR, Mark pressed the button, and as he did he saw the badge on the ground. "Dr Marbles." "Go after him." Said Karl. Mark ran and Karl kept going. As help arrived. Quinton was given adrenalin and shocked. no response the first time so they tried 3 more times. "Common Quinton. you have so much to fight for. One more time." as they did it one more time they got a heartbeat back. 'We got a heartbeat!" A collective sigh went across the room, as Karl and the nurses rushed him to surgery, just as Mark came out with an arrested criminal. "keep going creep and i'll push you don't the stairs." as Mark pushed away the crim. Terese looked on from Pipers window and said "That creep. He hurt him." "He hurt Kari mum. He is the reason Kari almost died from a clot." " I know>" several hours later Quinton was out of surgery and recovering. "Low down please Karl. how is he?" "Not well. We had to place him in a coma due the amount of blood he lost. Combined with the CPR we had to give him, his brain was in overtime. He may be in it for weeks... or he may die. But he is strong." Karl then handed Terese something. "This was in his hand Terese. You should read it." Terese started reading aloud. "I may have been a teacher but something was always off about me returning home, i did what I did. now I have fallen in love again. with a gal named Terese. Her family is lovely, and I am just an idiot, who had an affair. I broke down and drunk. I went to rehab, I love my life here. never changes. not one bit. I love a girl named Terese. She is gorgeous.." Terese smiled and kissed Quinton on the head. "The real battle starts now." said Karl.

Waking Up and Ripping into rehab (Season 2 ep 1)
"Is this normal for a gun shot wound?" said Terese. "Everything about this is normal. considering, he wasn't breathing when we found him. Quinton's body has been through a lot. We removed the breathing tube as he started breathing on his own." Terese looked at Karl and said "I'm going to go grab a coffee. Want one?" "No thanks." Terese walked away as Karl continued looking at Quinton. "6 years you've been here mate. Already been shot. You did good." Quinton opened his mouth and said weakly "It's what I do best.." Karl looked to Quinton and said "How you feeling mate?" "Terrible. As expected." "You know the run down?" "Two gunshots. Stomach and lower abdo." "You lost a lot of blood. You were grey when we found you." "Did they get the bloke?" "They did. He got released on bail as well." "Oh good." "He was shot and killed by a person who escaped jail. revenge killing or something." Quinton looked around the room and said "Where is Terese?" "Getting coffee." Quinton then said "How has she been?" "At your bedside." "And Kari?" "Worrying. Quinton, Kari is married that cannot happen. You know that." "I know. Its hard not to think about those people who worried about me and she is a friend." Karl sighed and said "Enough of that. Rehab mate. Its gonna be tough." "Yeah I know. I've been there before." Quinton with some energy managed to move a little on the bed, letting out a grunt in the process. Karl then said "Be careful. You've been in a coma for a month. Somehow the abs managed to stay there." "I'm not 80 Karl, I look after myself."... After Karl left Quinton smiled as he reached for his phone in the draw. Terese walking in not long after. "You're awake! This is great." a couple of days later, Quinton was walking and out of bed, surprising everyone. Quinton walked into the hospital gym/rehab centre and got into the pool and walked around in it. Terese walked into the rehab area and went over to Quinton, Quinton and Terese talked memories and dreams. "I always wanted to go to New York and sing on Broadway. I guess now its not happening." 'Hey. Don't give up on your dreams Terese. Broadway is a great dream." ==Terese Remembers Home (Season 2 Ep 3)== "New York was home for me. New York was my home and I left it to make sure I was happy. That means so much, and I never thought of speaking about it, but I needed to, because it was the only way I ever felt happy. I was married for 5 years, granted they weren't wonderful years, but I loved working at my family's estate. Project Manager. Now I'm a former bar-girl who runs a hotel. New York for me was waking up every day and seeing something new. Here in Sebour is new people some days, others you just want to run to the beach and drown. Because sometimes that's how I feel." Terese continued. "I never thought leaving New York would make me homesick, but it really did. Everytime I think about going back I think of my ex-husband, him and his deep voice haunting me in the back of my mind. But I have to remember he died 10 years ago from drinking to much. Jesus, if I could go back and leave him 4 years earlier I would. I really would." taking a deep breathe she continued. "I never wanted to leave home it happened so fast and happened in a way I would never believe. I miss the smell of home, the traffic, winter and eating cookies on the stoop of our building..."

Kari and John's Fallout (Season 2 ep 3)
As Quinton was in the bar ordering lunch, Kari and John came in very quietly. John and Kari sat in the corner and they started talking. Quinton was not long recovering from a rehabilitation stint from his gun shot wounds. Quinton was watching from afar. Kari saying to John. "You have feelings for Terese don't you John?" "Like you had for Quinton? Yeah I do. No matter I think its never gone, since we moved here its impossible not to think about it." "John I always had this prepared, even if we were to fallout, i'd still love you no matter what." Kari opened her briefcase and pulled out divorce papers. "how long have you had these?" "Years." "That is so odd. why?" "Our fallout, shouldn't effect the kids. I want you to take them." John smiled and said "Are you sure you want to do this." "No i'm not. but no matter what and how it happened I will always love you." Kari took off her ring and placed it in John's hand. 'you deserve to be happy." Kari stood up and looked at John, John looking at Kari stood up and said "This is goodbye I guess." Kari and John hugged, John whispered "This isn't over Kari. Move into the hotel for a bit. Then I will sign the papers. We grew apart because of him." "No John we didn't. We are so different now to when we meet years ago.." Kari said as she looked at John and then opened the door and walked out. Quinton confused walked over to John and said "What was that about? Are you two okay?" John angry grabbed Quinton and said "This is what happened!" Shoving divorce papers in his face. Quinton letting out a pained grunt. "This is your fault. All of it." "John no." John threw Quinton to the ground and said "Admit your true feelings. Do YOU LOVE HER!" he said at the top of his voice, the whole bar watching on. "Its true." as Quinton said grabbing a chair to regain his balance. "I love her obviously. As a FRIEND." Quinton struggled to regain his strength as John grabbed him again and said "You always had feelings?" as John said this Terese walked in and saw what was going on. "Yes. But have you had the same for Terese?" John tightened his grip on Quinton and said "Terese deserves the best. I didn't deserved to be SERVED DIVORCE PAPERS IN A BAR." John threw Quinton again and John grabbed the wedding ring out of his pocket and threw it at him. "Leave Kari mate." said Quinton as he grunted in pain. "You loved her for years what's stopping you now." John put the ring on the table and said "I.." as he said this he turned to Terese, Terese confused said "What?" John finally saying what was on his mind "Terese." "What?" "What changed was seeing you and Terese together. You can barely keep it together and somehow she is your rock. Me and Kari, where was that?" Quinton trying to get up off the floor but failing as he felt a sharp pain in his gut. "Ah!" Quinton said as Terese looked at John. "The fallout. Is bad." "No its love." Terese and John had a moment as Quinton was curled on the floor in agony. "Hey!" said Karl, "Someone called and ambulance, Quinton's scar has re-opened. Good job John." said Karl as he put his coat on Quinton's stomach. John saying "That's karma for the affair." John then threw the ring at Quinton and said "Do what you need to do, next time I wont be nicer." Quinton threw the ring back and said in agony "Been there and back. bring it." Quinton then said "Sorry for that everyone." Karl then said "Quinton, can you give me a pain rating." as Quinton looked he said "cant describe it." as John rushed back in he went over to Quinton and punched him in the stomach, Quinton screaming in agony as John was arrested by Mark. Quinton screamed as Karl looked on to see the screaming tearing muscles. Quinton was in so much pain he passed out. "Quinton? can you hear me? Quinton?" "John i hope you know you set his recovery back weeks. Quinton.. Quinton! Next time talk it out. You are pathetic John." Quinton's wound reopened and started bleeding as Karl saw the ambulance finally arrived. Quinton was rushed into surgery to repair the torn muscles and stop the bleeding. The surgery took and hour and Quinton was awake 4 hours later and talking.

Quinton's Feelings for Kari Revealed (Season 2 Ep 4)
Quinton was sitting at the bar a couple of weeks after another surgery. John walked in and sat next to Quinton. Quinton said "Please don't throw me across the room this time." John sighed and said "I came to apologise." "Why? I broke up your marriage. I ruined your life. It should be me apologising." John laughed as he faced Quinton. "Our love went a long time ago. I was mad for a different reason. Its hard not to admit when Kari was pregnant, i wanted to find you and show you the way you changed our lives for the better." Quinton rubbed his eyes and said "I wasn't there when it happened. Trish saved her life." "Fucking right mate." "Just to have that dumped on me, after she had surgery, she just.." "We were listening Quinton. We felt for you, we did." Quinton looked up and said "That's why I had a breakdown and just drunk for about a week." John then said "How bad did it hurt? Cause I did the same thing when Kari lost it. So much to take in. The students were asking questions, the rumours. Staff eventually found out she miscarried. You just don't get carried out of a classroom without staff looking on in horror." Quinton wiped his eyes and said "The night, we had the affair, I regret that I don't regret the sex. I regret hurting you." John put his hand on Quinton's shoulder and said "Don't apologise. Remember I had an affair with Jen, its tough to admit it but you to were so close, you loved each other." Quinton smiled as he watched the door open and Terese walk in and order some food. Quinton looked back at John and said "I love Kari, John. I'm sorry to admit that, but for years I never stopped thinking about that moment." John nodded as he opened his jacket pocket, producing the ring he gave Kari. "Our wedding ring. I guess its nothing now." Quinton then said "Talk to Terese, you've liked her for a long time as well. Go say something." Quinton sat back in his chair as John said "Thanks mate. Get better soon." As John turned to talk to Terese, Terese looked at John and said "John. How are you?" "Very well." John couldn't help himself and pashed Terese. Terese pulled in for a longer kiss and the moment lasted for ever. "Get a room!" said Quinton from the other side. Terese pulled away as he said to John quietly "I need to speak with him is that ok?" "Yeah it is. Go ahead." Terese walked over to Quinton and said "Quinton. I need you to check something out for me. Its medical related." Terese said with a worried look on her face. "Yeah sure. When?" "Now. if its ok." Quinton nodded and said "My office the hospital. We need to talk in a quieter place." A couple of minutes later Quinton was in his office and on the computer, Terese walking in several minutes later. "You look so worried. tell me what's wrong?" "I found a lump, Quinton." Quinton's eyes widened and said "Any pain?" "I'm finding it hard to move my arm above shoulder height. Quinton closed the door and said "I need to do an examination, please take off your shirt and get on the bed, raise your arms." Terese took off her shirt and un did her bra. Quinton put on gloves and walked over to her. "Don't be scared. It could be nothing." Quinton felt around the breast area for any more lumps. He didn't say anything, but he found two more. "Quinton?" "Get dressed" Quinton said as he took off his gloves. "I'm going to order you a mammogram, and a blood test. Just to be safe. You need to ask any family, if there is a history of cancer breast or otherwise in the family." Terese nodded as she looked at Quinton saying "You love her don't you?" Quinton looking confused "What?" "You and Kari." Quinton walked over to Terese and said "Terese. I will ALWAYS love you. But my heart wants to be with Kari. My brain is telling me to stay with you. But you have John. John is caring and can get you through this." Terese looked at Quinton and said "That's very truthful." "I will always be truthful to you. I always will be." Quinton opened the door and said "Better hurry, your tests are in 20 minutes."

Terese's Misdiagnosis (Season 5 ep 30)
As Quinton was reading his emails he saw one from a doctor in the hospital who worked in the cancer ward. Quinton opened the email and read it. Quinton stumbled across another email, with Terese's name on it. Quinton opened the email. Quinton read the email and skimmed and saw the words 'possible breast cancer' and 'diagnosis'. Quinton closed the email just as Karl walked in. "Quinton, did you just receive the same email? Quinton please tell me you did, because that went to everyone in the hospital." Quinton looked up and said "What if its true? What if she has cancer?" "Times have changed Quinton. It isn't the death sentence it once was. Quinton it may not even be breast cancer. But get her in here anyway and have a workup done. It may be nothing, it may be adrenal related. Do not scare the woman." said Karl. Quinton reached for the phone and said before he dialled. "Life is a bitch sometimes.." as the phone rang Quinton was preparing himself. "Terese speaking. how may I help you?" "Terese, its Dr Philips from the hospital." "Yes, what is the matter?" "I don't know how to discuss this on the phone but we need you to come in for some tests." "Alright. I'll come in." Quinton hung up as he looked at Karl with worry. As Quinton stood up Karl left and so did Quinton. Quinton was sitting outside the hospital when Terese got to the carpark. "Quinton." "Terese. This is something we both need." "I was called before you called me. It is a possible breast cancer diagnosis." "How did?" 'The family history, Quinton. I don't expect you to care for me after what you told me." "Terese, these tests are more conclusive. If you have cancer you can deal with it. It is isn't and its something else, you have Paul." "Had Paul, Quinton, had Paul. We still get along well." as Terese and Quinton walked back into the hospital and up to the pathologist. Quinton waited in his office as Terese was getting blood work done. As a nurse came in 10 minutes later with the results. "Already?" "It was rushed, but they are correct. Read it properly Quinton.." as Quinton read the results, he missed the fact a part of the paper had been highlighted. Terese finally walking in, not shutting the door as Quinton, reached for the phone instead not going for that he put the folder in front of Terese. "A confirmed diagnosis. I am sorry Terese." "What? how? I was told it would be a 40% chance at this time. Knowing we get there early." "Terese, I am not that type of surgeon, but you need to know, you do have a great chance of survival." Terese looking in disbelief said "I will discuss this with my cancer surgeon. And see his course of action. Because this lump under my collarbone cannot be breast cancer." Quinton rubbed his beard and said "Take the file with you. I may be wrong, but you need to understand if its not cancer, it could be thyroid or adrenal related. which still require surgery." "I'll risk it thanks Quinton." Terese took the folder as Quinton went back to work. Terese went to her surgeon who read the folder. "Sometimes I truly wonder why Quinton never gets suspended. Either that or he really is blind." said Dr Tryal. "What do you mean by that." said Terese. "He didn't show you the highlighted bit?" "No.." "It's an adrenal tumour. Not breast cancer." Terese sighed with relief. "But you will still need surgery to remove the tumour, have it tested and if so we will remove the gland.." 'So it was a misdiagonsis?" "Yes.. the 4th one from Quinton.. I've reported it again. This time he gets suspended.." "For how long?" "Only a month. But if it keeps happening longer." Terese nodded as they continued their discussion about surgery. Several days later surgery was successfully done and the tumour was removed and Terese began treatment.

Quinton Gets Suspended (Season 5 Ep 31)
Quinton was sitting in his office, when Dr Tryal walked in with a letter. "This is for you Dr Misdiagnosis." Quinton looked up and said "Excuse me?" Tryal sat down and said "This is the 4th time you've done this. Quinton. It's time to either get glasses or retire from medicine." Tryal stood back up and said "Trust me.  It saves a person going in for life altering surgery.." "I'm confused. I have no idea what you mean.." "Read the letter. The board knows about this. Tread carefully." Tryal walked out as Quinton opened the letter;

​"Incident Number 4. Involving general surgeon and orthropaedic registrar Dr Quinton Philips. This has happened before. This one a new incident. Failing to read a patients diagnosis properly. This patient was misdiagnosed with breast cancer, results showing a tumour of the adrenal gland. It's a long shot but this needs to happen and fast. Quinton needs to be punished. Suspension for around 1 month would be enough as well as an eye test. This cannot keep happening.. It is dangerous and shocking. -Dr Timothy Tryal"

​Quinton then saw the attachement of the letter.

​"Dr Quinton Philips has been suspended with letter notice pending. until he recieves an eye test and possible specticale or contact diagnosis, he shall remain suspended. We are aware of the 3 other misdiagnoses and they have been dealt with. This one will be dealt with as well. remain vigilant and read all charts carefully. -Dr Anthony Rogers, HOM."

​Quinton put the paper down as Karl walked in. "Quinton.. What's going on?" Quinton stood up and said "I've been suspended. I misdiagnosed someone. And I am paying a price." "I'm part of the Board, Quinton.. I'm sorry. but we've had to suspended you for longer. Quinton. Until you do something about your eyes, you are in limbo." Quinton went over to his computer and logged out and shut it down. Quinton walked over to Karl as Karl handed Quinton another letter. "You'll have to now Quinton. You have to leave the premises" Quinton nodded as he said to Karl "I planned on getting my eyes checked. I cannot believe I sent three people a wrong diagnosis. Mate. This is a crap feeling." Quinton took off his coat and gave his keys to Karl. Karl looked at Quinton and nodded.Quinton put his badge on the table and took the letter that Karl gave him. Karl walked out of the room as Quinton turned the lights off to his office and closed the door over. Karl pat Quinton on the back before walking away. Quinton took a walk out of the hospital one that felt like hours, nurses walking past him, doctors ignoring him. Quinton finally made it outside. As Quinton made it outside security led him to his car. Quinton got into his car and he drove home. As Quinton got through the door, he sat on the staircase. He opened the letter Karl gave him.

​"Re: Quinton.. This is highly immoral, he is a good man, but he now needs to see how things are done around here. Quinton will be suspended for 3 months. In this timeframe he will required to have a mental health assessment, an eye examination. the board isnt happy, but neither will the patients.  This suspenion holds. If Dr Philips turns up on the property he is to be removed by force. This is our third doctor we have suspended for reasons such as this. We want all our doctors on board but this happens. I want Quinton to know this is our of respect for him. He may be tired, he may just need rest. But he needs time away from medicine to realise he doesn't live in Begs anymore. -Dr Rogers HOM"

​Quinton then read further into the letter.

''​"A misdiagnosis.. because he didn't read the highlighted part, shows he either had it in for this woman or he was truly reading out the chart. I don't care what you call it, but Philips being suspended can let our resources come back to normal. He is an Orthopaedic Surgeon, who said himself dabbles in general surgeon and neruology. Philips is now required to be one thing and one thing only, that ortho surgeon we asked for. Philips needs to know this is not his home town. things don't run like that here. It's time he knew that. The next 3 months I hope he knows that. We can no longer afford to keep him if he keeps up his ongoing mess ups. Philips now has a choice. Leave or be an ortho surgeon.. This is how some learn to respect the process.." -Dr Karl Kennedy.."''

​Quinton read that last part out loud to himself on the staircase. "Leave or be an ortho surgeon.." Quinton put the letter down as he put his hands on his head in defeat..

​Quinton Fronts The Board And His Apology (Season 5 Ep 32)
Quinton had written his letter he had planned on giving the board, Quinton had also called Terese and asked her to meet him so he could talk to her. Quinton and Terese met an hour later at the park. Quinton was sitting with a look of defeat on his face. Terese sat down next to Quinton and said "What's this about Quinton?" Quinton swallowed hard and said "I wanted to apologise. I want to say I am sorry for misdiagnosing you. I haven't forgiven myself.." "You told me you loved another woman, and then give me that breast cancer shitck. How am I supposed to forgive that? Quinton I am sorry. but I will be angry for a long time at you." "I understand that Terese, fully. I want you to know first, that I am going to hand in my licence to practice general and neruo. I'm done with the two. I really am." "You did what you have to?" "Fair sure I am doing the right thing. Been dabbling to long." Quinton stood up and said "I played with fire Terese. Got burned. Paid the price." Terese stood up and said "I understand. In a way I can be angry and forgiving. But if I didn't come to you I would've died.." "Was surgery successful?" "Yes it was. I am now on meds to control what's now missing.." Quinton nodded as he checked his phone. "I have to go. I have to face the board now.." Terese went over to Quinton and hugged him. "I can remain mad at you, but only for a short time. I will be mad at you, but you helped my daughter and you helped me. Go.." Quinton smiled as he walked away. Quinton was standing outside the hospital when he was seen by security. "Dr Philips.. We will escort you inside.." Quinton sighed as he said "Do you have to? I'm not a criminal.." "Sorry Quinton. Rules are rules.." Quinton sighed again as he was lead in to the hospital. It'd been 3 months since Quinton was suspended and in that time the hospital had re-painted many parts, and Quinton looking around seeing new fixtures had been placed on lights and beds. "Oh fucking please..." said Quinton. "I'm gone and things get replaced? What magic is this?" he said. "It's called they have a budget." Quinton sighed and said "I was wasting that much money?" "You're a well. Your dabbling cost the hospital $400,000 each year. You being suspended put a quarter of that money back into the hospitall." as they neared the elevator, Quinton looked up and saw what he hadn't seen in years, the place running smoothly, nurses not running, and doctors talking to patients. The guard then said to Quinton. "An attitude change, is what this place needed if you ask me. You being gone let them do this.." as the elevator got to the 10th floor, the guards got out first and then Quinton. The guards walked Quinton to the boardroom. Quinton knocked on the door. "Come in.." Quinton opened the door and he walked in. The entire board was there, as well as head doctors and a few nurses. Quinton stood as Dr Rogers introduced the meeting. "Meeting number 300. Please be seated." Quinton sat down, and was sweating. "Dr Quinton Philips.. We recieved your mental health assessment, and your eye examination. You passed both with flying colours. What confuses me is that this has happened previously. It has to stop." "And I agree.." said Quinton. Quinton was holding his briefcase as he opened it he produced a letter, and 2 of his medical certificates. Quinton placed the letter on the table, as he passed his two certificates to the Head of Medicine. "I will no longer dabble. I cannot afford to." Dr Rogers rubbing his face, saying "Then it it settled. You will email out what you are no longer doing. And inform former and current patients. That.." Rogers looked at the certs and said "You will no longer by a general surgeon, who dabbles in neruology.", Karl then saying. "If that means you stay with only orthopaedic surgery. Quinton you face this board one more time on an issue such as this and you will be gone." Quinton then said "All I need to know. Is am I cleared for a return to work?" Rogers nodded "Yes you are. But you wont have patients. You are on light duties until you send out an apology and final notice you are giving up two other specialities of yours." Quinton nodded as he said "I walked in seeing how colourful it was in here. I can't afford the hospital any less to what I do now. I saw unison, I saw belief again. I want to be that.." "You can be that. But you will no longer have two other things on your mind." Quinton sat back down as he said. "I have nothing to lose anymore. Nothing to gain." Rogers then said "This meeting is over. Dr Philips is cleared for a return to work. Remember Philips, anymore screwups like this, and you are gone.." Quinton nodded as he picked up his briefcase, as he went to the door. Quinton walked out of the room and outside. Karl looking at the table and he said "Hey, what's this?" "Its the letter Quinton put on the table. Open it." Karl opened the letter and started reading it out loud..;

''​"My name is Dr Quinton Philips. I've come ot a decision. this one has been stirring me for years. But I no longer live back home in Begs. I live in Sebour. I've decided to no longer pursue my interest of neurology and general surgery, I brought in my certificates to the board, to show them I wanted to keep my job and I was serious. I had been doing 3 types of medical training for over 15 years, and I realised now how dangerous it really was to dabble in three bits of medicine. I am ending my general surgery treatments and I am ending my neurology treatments, and turning all focus back on the thing I wanted to do from the beginning, Orthopaedic Surgery. To make someone's life a little easier, to ease pain. That over the 3 months I was suspended for really put thing into perspective. It really did. I also want to apologise to the board of medicine, and everyone else I have worked with. and it is true, I was hired to do one thing, be that ortho surgeon I am paid to be, not a dabbler not a rebel, an ortho surgeon."''​ the letter ended.

"He did read what I wrote." said Karl.

​Quinton's Second Gunshot (Season 5 ep 35)
It was Quinton's day off, so he decided to go into town and buy some food. Quinton was half-way through his shopping, when there was a blackout. Quinton looked around with everyone else and said "Oh that's great.." the power didn't come back on but a voice boomed in the distance. "Everyone on the floor now!" Quinton got on the floor, as the power came back on. Everyone in the store was shaking and quiet. A man with a handgun was walking around. "No body try anything funny, ya get me?" everyone nodded. Quinton crawlled to the freezer section and he had his phone on him, he dialed the police, Quinton whispered into the phone "I need police here at the Sebour Market, there's a guy with a gun!." as Quinton explained the gun boomed as people screamed, someone yelling out "oh my god, she's been shot in the head!", Quinton then said "I'm not hanging up, I'm putting the phone in my shirt. please hurry.", Quinton crawlled back to the main part. He saw the body lying on the ground. Quinton went over to the body and looked for any sign of life. "You there. get up." Quinton looked at the gunman and said "I'm a doctor mate. I work at the hospital" Quinton felt the woman's neck for a pulse, none she was dead. "Get up.. I said get up." Quinton slowly got up as the gunman grabbed Quinton's phone and smashed it on the ground. the gunman pushed Quinton to the ground and said "Move again, And you die." Quinton nodded as the gunman went around the store. As the news got out, the hospital was watching on. "Hey guys.." said Karl. "We have a hostage situation at Sebour Market." Karl said as he turned the TV on to a news anchor at the scene. "Yes, This situation started an hour ago and from what we know there are 100 people in this building. As the call was made one person has been shot and killed. Please stay with us as we continue to bring these events to light." as the situation rolled on Karl said to everyone at the hospital "Be ready for these hostages. We will take at least 20 of them the rest are going to the city.. We have no contact with the inside man who made that call. But they said they were a doctor. Please for the love of god be on guard, because we'll need blood. If any of you are on triage, ask if someone can donate blood we are going to need it.." As Karl and the group looked back at the tv there was another situation unfolding. "Police have confirmed all power to the building has been cut off and the backup lights are working. The police chopper is also using heat sensor to pick up where in the store the gunman is. As you can see.." As the news anchor turned around the gun man lined everyone up. The dead body on the ground was picked up by two scared hostages. The door was opened by the gun man and the two walked out with the body. The door immediately closed and the gunman looked for another victim. "Two people have come out the building. Oh god turn the camera back around!" It was to late the cameraman got the shot of the dead body. The two hostages were minorly hurt and had cuts and bruises. The two were talking to police as the gunman let off a series of shots they didn't hit anyone but this got everyone on edge. Quinton whispered to a person behind him "I don't want to die not today.." Quinton said this as the gun started kicking hostages in the back, Quinton was kicked harder than the rest of the hostages and his nose started bleeding. "Jesus.." The Gunman turned and said "Shut up Doctor Boy.". The police on the outside making plans to go through the frontdoor but they had to back track because of the people at the front. Quinton took a chance to grab his broken phone and place it under his armpit. He dialed a number outside. "Police who is it?" "Someone inside this building. People are hurt mate. People have cuts, bruises.." "Any gunshot wounds?" "No but you'd better do something soon or else someone's gonna be filled with bullets, put someone on the roof for all I care, please hurry..." Quinton hung up and threw his phone back over to where it was before. The Gunman turned around and looked at Quinont as Quinton looked up and around. "Who was that you just called?" Quinton was quiet. "I said who was it?" The gunman stood on Quinton's ankle and said "One more move from you and I kill you. I promise I fucking will!" as the gunman moved back to the entry, another news report came out "The police have gotten a second call from inside the building, everyone inside is hurt, cuts and bruises. Hospitals have been put on notice, just in case any hostages require more than just a couple of stitches." The gunman had again laced bullets around the room and this time he shot two people, the news camera capturing the moment. "Two people have just been shot inside Sebour Market I repeat two people have been shot!" The anchor said. The gunman found his next target, a 4 year old. "Stop crying sissy." The gunman brought the little kid to the windows as police watched on in horror. But before he pulled the trigger a voice boomed behind him "Don't you dare shoot an unarmed toddler. Shoot me instead." It was Quinton as he rose of the ground hands in the air, as Quinton rose every other hostage rose. The gunman held the gun to the childs head, and before he pulled the trigger he pushed the 4 year old outside and closed the door immediately. The gunman looked at his crowd, he pulled another child out of the line. Quinton with his hands up said "why here? Why now?" "Shut it." As Quinton swallowed hard he continued holding his hands up in the air as he walked over slowly to the 4 year old.. The gunman pulled no tricks, he fired his weapon, but the victim intended for it wasn't the toddler, a shout of "No!" Came from the crowd. Quinton leaped infront of the child and  who jumped infront of the bullet path. Quinton hit the ground, and landed heavily on his leg with a audible snap and was writhing in agony. Outside the police sniper lined up the shot to take out the gunman. "How nice.. A hero..." The gunman aimed his weapon to finish Quinton. "Aim. And fire." "Time to die hero.." As the gunman aimed at Quinton the bullet from the sniper hit the gunman in the neck, killing him instantly. The glass shattering everywhere, hostages were free, the police went over to them and helped them out of the building. The news anchor saying "Police have ended a 3 hour standoff with shooting down the lone gun man who took 100 people hostage here at Sebour Market. 20 people have been confirmed injured, that number set to rise, before police snipers took that shot that killed the gunman a man of shear lunacy took a bullet intended for a toddler. What we know is 1 person is dead and many people are being rushed to hospital. More of this story in full comprehension tonight at 6." The anchor cutting her story. The anchor took off her press pass as she walked into a car that took her to a place to donate blood. Quinton was bleeding from his gunshot wound and his broken leg he was still in agony, when a hostage came over to him, the hostage opened her handbag and put gloves on. "Dr Quinton. Rate the pain for me.." Quinton grunted as he took a look at the face. "Trish? Trish Meriweather? Is that you?" Trish nodded as Quinton said "How bad is it How bad is my leg?" Trish signalled paramedics and asked them to cut Quinton's pant suit, as they did Quinton's leg had a huge lump, confirming the broken leg. Trish had to lift Quinton's leg to place it in a leg brace, Quinton groaned as a paramedic gave him the 'green whistle', Quinton then said to Trish "How long have you been here? Trish.." Trish looked at Quinton as she grabbed a wad of padding, she said "I came to Sebour to find work at the hospital. I was here at the market to buy food." Trish looked at the medics, as police were in the Market helping take out the injured hostages. Trish continued "Nothing was happening back home, but I travel alot now. So it's ok." Quinton nodded as he was put on a spinal board and he was spinal precaution because of his neck injury a few years back. As Quinton was put into the back of the amublance, Trish tapped Quinton's arm and then took off her gloves and put them in the bin in the back of the ambulance. "Want to come with us mam?" Trish picked up her handbag and said "I think I'm done here." "Alright then.." Trish walked away and into the crowd. Quinton had an oxygen mask placed on his face as he was given pain relief, he felt his leg pounding. As the police containment crew started cleaning up the scene, the news crew had moved and went back to station. Back at the hospital the crew were at battlestations, with injured hostages. Some where released an hour later. Quinton's injuries were the worst. Linda was standing at the ambulance enterance. As the ambulance rolled into the bay, Linda helped open the door as her jaw dropped. "Is that Quinton?" the medics nodded as she said "Gimme a round down, lets go." As they rolled inside, the medics began their assessment. "56 year old male, apart of the Sebour Market hostage taking, shot in the abdomen, bleeding is ongoing, its been padded, his left leg is possibly broken." Karl turned around to take a look. "Jesus christ. That's Quinton!" the medic responding "Considering, there was 100 people in that bulding and one person died, he has the worst of it." Karl then said "How is everyone else? You guys had to watch it.." "We'll be fine. Its the hostages. They'll need help. That Gunman was kicking people and stuff. The grazes from bullets..Mate. 40 people are in hospital now. One had a angina attack, another had a dislocated shoulder. Those people were lucky. There was blood everywhere." The medics nodded and left as Quinton was taken to x-ray, the bullet was lodged deep in his abdomen and his leg was broken. Quinton was still in emergency, because they couldn't send him straight up to surgery, they instead reset Quinton's leg. 20 minutes later Quinton was having surgery to remove the bullet, Linda watching over the surgery, with the rest of the hospital staff watching on. "What happens next?" said a nurse. "What happens after surgery?" "He'll be in ICU for a couple of days, we wait and see. We watch his leg and watch for infection, his bullet wound for infection as well. Bullet wounds can be hell..This recovery will be hell." After surgery finished Quinton was put into ICU, but he was breathing on his own so he wasn't put on a breathing machine. That night Quinton was watching the news with the hospital team. The news break came on with the news anchor starting the story:

''​"One person dead and 40 people have injured during a hostage situation in the quiet town of Sebour. The situation lasted 3 hours, and ended after a police sniper took out the gunman who has been identifed as Roger Galloway, took 100 people hostage and shot one person in cold blood. The most serious injury was a broken leg and gunshot to the stomach. Officers have said this incident will likely never happen again. The police's response to the hostage situation was this." (Cuts to an officer) "We had to be careful with this type of event. We called in a sniper so late because if he had taken a hostage to the front of the store, and if the sniper were to miss and get a hostage we'd be dealing with two dead people. This event is horrific in everyway, but we are investigating motive and means, but we need to speak with a few hostages and we have word one is in surgery we will speak to him and hopefully have a definitive answer.. ." ''

The news report ended and Quinton said "They're going to be interviewing me.. great.."

3 days later Quinton had given his statement to police and the media had asked him for an interview, Quinton refused to give a media interview at first, but he decided to finally give one. As he was still in hospital he was moved into a private room to give this interview.

As the interview was conducted they talked for about an hour on the events of that day and how he was effected by the events. The interview aired that night.

"Tonight our exclusive interview with the man who leaped in front of a bullet to save a 4 year old boy from a crazed mad man, what made him do it and how he is coping. Tonight our interview with Dr Quinton Philips."

The interview started and Quinton spoke:

''​Q: "I had a day off from working at the hospital, and I decided to do some shopping. I regularly went to Sebour Market. That day I had this feeling, and it wasn't right. But I continued on. I was in the ice-cream aisle, and the thing I see is that the power went out. 'oh great' I said to myself the man standing next to me said 'something's up. that ain't right.' and then a man screamed out 'Get on the f*ckin' ground now!', he fired into the air, a light shattered, and I ducked and got on the floor. I reached for my phone and called the police and as that happened a gunshot." ''

Quinton's Controversial Storyline (Season 6 Ep 1)
Quinton was drinking at the local bar when he felt a tap on his shoulder, the tap was from Karl. "Oh Karl, it's you." Karl sat next to Quinton and said "You've been here an awful lot lately Quinton. You know you ought to be careful." Quinton took a sip of his drink and said "And do what?" Karl rolled his eyes as he said "Remember what you told me? You said you spent 2 years in federal jail for assault charges. Quinton.. Listen...Not many doctors ever return to medicine after being put in jail. But I guess you came from a weird part of the country.." Quinton laughed as he ordered another drink. Karl looked Quinton in the eyes and said "Quinton, your sloshed." Quinton got his next drink as Karl said that. Quinton skolled his next drink down and he stood up groggy. "Need a lift Dr Drunk?" said Karl. Quinton said "No thanks. I'm walking.." Karl looked at Quinton but he knew he wasn't winning anythnig. "Goodnight Quinton.." "Bye Karl.." As Quinton left the bar, he walked to what he thought was his house. But it was Terese's. Quinton knocked on the door. The door opened as Terese said "Quinton, it is 10:30.. what are you doing?" "So..This isn't my house?" Terese rolled her eyes and said "If you didn't get so sloshed you wouldn't have missed a taxi to go home. But I can't send you home, not like this.. come in and sit down.." As Terese led Quinton inside, Terese closed the door. Quinton sat next to the kitchen table and he spotted a bottle of wine on the table. "Quinton, this drinking of yours has gotten out of control you know." as Terese grabbed the wine off the table, she put the wine in the cupboard. Quinton reached for the bottle that was under the table. Terese sighed as Quinton started drinking a bottle. As Quinton finished the bottle he walked over to the kitchen. Terese was standing on the other side of the kitchen island as Quinton said "I have heard alot today about drinking. I've heard enough." Quinton grabbed the bottle he had and smashed it on the island. Terese ducking in time to avoid the shatter of glass, but one bit cut her lip and chin, but she didn't feel it. Terese looked up as Quinton said "Now.. If its real, I wont do what a lot of other people due during the day..." Quinton heard the door knock, but ignored it as Terese stood in the corner feeling her lip. "Quinton, calm down please. Its 10 in the morning and I have a meeting soon. You need to go." "I thought it was night?" "Like you always do you idiot. You need to leave." Quinton walked up to Terese, Quinton was smaller then Terese but he cut an imposing figure. As another knock at the door happened. A scuffle between Quinton and Terese happened. Terese was on the floor and Quinton stood over her. Quinton dropped to his knees as another bang on the door. "Terese. It's me Officer Michaels. I'm coming in." Quinton looked at the door as the handle moved. Quinton looked at Terese with a sad look on his face.. "What have I done.." he said as he got up and scrambled into the laundry and made his getaway. Mark got the door open, as he looked around he saw Terese laying on the floor. "Jesus Christ.." Mark went over to Terese and saw she was concious but grabbing at her ribs. Mark grabbed his radio and said into it "I need an ambulance here at 22 Sebour st now! Please also send a police car as well." "Copy that. Ambo's on its way." said the radio back. Mark kneeled next to Terese and said "Who did this to you Terese? What happened?" Terese coughed and said "Quinton.. It was Quinton..." "Quinton...but why?" "Mark...He's been drinking... He's dangerous..." Mark took out a tissue and held it on Terese's chin. "Why did he come here?" "Because he thought it was his house." Terese grunted in pain. "On a scale of 1-10 how bad is the pain?" Terese grunted as she held Mark's hand. "Right now.. Its about a 5ish. But my ribs are killing me.." Mark still holding his radio said. "Radio 1 to the station, Radio 1 to station over." "Station clear. What is it radio 1?" "I want APB put on Dr Quinton Philips, all officers." "Radio 1, why officer Philips?" "I'm on the scene of an assault. The victim here is Mrs Hills, be aware his is drunk and already has alcohol issues." "Copy that. APB will be put out immediately. Over." Mark looked at Terese and said "Terese." "Mark.. When they find him what happens?" "He'll be charged with assault, and evade police. Terese, knowing Quinton's past with alcohol, he'll get a light sentence, if any.." Terese took in a big breath and said "That's garbage. But that isn't an excuse." "No its not. But I'm sure, if I get my hands on him..." As Mark said that Terese was in so much pain that she finally passed out, just as paramedics entered the house. As Mark was helping them put Terese on the gurney, the police radio went off. 'Attention all units, an ABP on Quinton Philips is active, please be warned he may get violent due to alcohol use. His current whereabouts are unknown, medics are on site for an assault regarding Philips. He is to be arrested and brought to the station. I repeat arrested and brought in.'.. Paramedic Barry a friend of Quinton's said "I'd like to punch him out one day. Since he left Begs, he's been nothing but a dickhead. Do what you have to Mark.." As the paramedics took Terese away, Mark was standing outside the house when Karl ran over to him. "Mark, is that Terese in there?" "Yes it is. Terese said Quinton got violent because he was drunk." Karl looked and said "I need to get to the hospital. I need to inform the board of this. Where is Quinton?" "On the run. The coward is on the run.." "I gotta go.." said Karl as Mark got into his police car. As Karl got into the hospital he ran to the elevator. Karl got to the Board floor and he rushed into a board meeting. "I'm sorry to rush in like this. But Quinton's on the run.." said Karl. "On the run? What do you mean, what happened?" said Dr Tryal. "He had a scuffle. Someone is being brought in.." "Assault? He assaulted someone? Good grief.." said Tryal. "Who was it?" "It was Terese." as the head of medicine Dr Rogers rubbed his temples he said "Quinton's on his last legs here. What do we do legally? Can we sack him?" "No. Even though he was drunk, he can still be helped.." "Helped? Karl.. Helped? He spent two years in FEDERAL PRISION for assault. Most doctors who go to jail never practice again. This is wrong and immoral. We need to do something.." Tryal repiled with "Suspend him again. He has so much to lose now. He's always had something to lose. He'll get sent to a facuilty to Combat Alcohol Abuse, I know that. But suspension again? I dont know how many times we can do that." Rogers repiled with "Well. As of Now. When he gets charged he comes here. And we suspend him indefinetly.", as they agreed, a police officer came in and said "Sorry for the intrusion, but your assault patient is here. She passed out 10 minutes ago and only woke up just then. She has given us her version of events. It was unprovoked because he was intoxicated. An All Points Bulletin went out an hour ago. This bloke is running, and I dont know what from." "Running because he's Dr Coward. Has been since he started working here. This isn't what we're about. For fuck sake this is a mess." "I understand. I have to go. the APB still stands. If he shows up.." "I'll punch him. I honest to God. Will punch him.." "Then you'd get charged.." "Hey. I would tackle him to the ground first.." the officer left the room as Karl said "I really hope he turns himself in. Because he's currently suspended as of now.." Karl walked out of the room and back down to the ER. Back where Mark was he was looking around for Quinton, Quinton was no where to be found. But where was Quinton? He was walking along a road that was used to get out of town,but he had second thoughts. Quinton looked to see if a car would stop and they wouldn't. Quinton was making his way back into town before Mark spotted him, Mark called it in. "This is radio 1 to station regarding ABP, I have found the suspect walking along the highway. Arresting now.." "Radio 1 copy." "I have found the suspect of the ABP, walking along the highway. Clear to arrest?" "Radio 1, clear." as Mark put down his radio the radio went off with 'ABP, officer is making an arrest, ABP clear over.'.. Mark stopped the car and held his gun in the air. "Freeze Quinton!" Quinton turned and faced Mark. "Down on the ground, now!" Quinton dropped to his knees and had his hands in the air. Mark walked over to Quinton and handcuffed him, and put his gun back in the holster. "Quinton you are under arrest." "Aren't you gonna read me my rights." as Mark picked Quinton up off the ground. "You dont deserve get rights." opening the car door Mark shoved Quinton into the car. Mark took his radio and said "This is Officer Mark Michaels. Suspect has been arrested. I repeat I am on my way to the station with arrested suspect." "Copy that, thank you officer Michaels.", Mark started the car and he drove Quinton to the station. Mark pulled up in the carpark. He got out of the car and opened the door to get Quinton out of the car. There was a crowd in the marquee where the station was, "Move it Quinton.." "But they're staring." "People do that. Now move." Quinton moved as Mark had another officer help bring him in. Quinton was placed into a holding cell, as Mark and the others made a choice about his court hearing. Mark stared at Quinton as he was sitting in his cell. Quinton stood up and said "What happened Mark? How is Terese?" "You hurt her Quinton. And you know that you shouldn't drink. You hurt her. You hurt Her." "You said that." Mark then yelled to Quinton. "It bears repeating Quinton! You hurt her!", "Mark please.." "Don't you Mark me.." Mark turned around and said "Charge him." "Officer Michaels, you can't do that without an interview from the suspect." said the commander of the station. "Sir. If I can be frank, he shouldn't get one. He lost that right when he struck a woman than ran to evade police! He spent 5 hours on the run. This scumbag should be facing court tonight." Mark faced Quinton as the commander said "Fine. Have it your way Officer Michaels. This time it's yours. I will contact the judge and have a session ready by this evening.." the commander walked away as Mark took one more look at Quinton and said."You could end up in jail again Quinton. You could lose everything." "I've not much to fight for anymore.." Mark turned his back as Quinton sat back down.. A couple of hours later Quinton was facing a judge and a court of peers. the judge was furious at Quinton's actions and said;

​"There is never an excuse for what you did today Quinton. This town see's you as a mentor, a friend, their doctor in a time of need. I have a letter here from the hospital board of adminstraition you are to be suspended until further notice, and I for one agree with that statement. this is a crime henious and unforgiving. You a man of your calibure left a person in agony and ran. You the last time you faced court had a more lenient judge. Tonight I refuse to believe anything you say. You have a history of alcohol abuse, to me that should be a first in anything anyone shows me first. I have seen many cases like this. I have a medical report showing me you are competent, yet fail to see what lies ahead of you. Tonight is the night you find out your future."

​as the hearing went on, Quinton swallowed his pride and nodded with everything else.The judge took 3 hours to come up with a verdict. As The judge took a phone call from Karl at the hospital who updated him on the case.

''​"Tonight this jury will not decide your future. I will. Quinton I in all my years of residing a court never made this decision so freely. I feel you aren't a danger to the community but to yourself moreoever, a previous charge of assault. the phone call I recieved just then was from the hospital giving me an update. As of this moment Quinton,, you are suspended from practising medicine indefinitely. That isn't the only thing you are losing tonight Dr Philips. Tonight. This court sentences you to a year in a Physiatric Facility Combating Alcohol Abuse (PFCAA). There you will undergo treatment. Whilst you deserve to rot in jail for what you have done, I believe you can be treated effectively. You failed to listen to everyone else today. So do this and you will be considered to a return to medicine. Because someone like you can do very badly in prison, and I have read your record, you spent two in confinement and said it was the best two years of your life. Normal people would never say that, but this is Dr Philips we are talking about. This stands."''

​​The gavel banged and Quinton was taken from the stands to a waiting police car. Quinton was taken to the PFCAA.

Quinton didn't speak for weeks. It caused the assessers to wonder if Quinton was scared to talk about what happened. Quinton finally spoke. "I hurt her. I hurt her. I was never told the damage I did but I hurt her. I can never forgive myself for that. I promised when I got out of prison last time I would give up drinking, something here set me off to drink. I didn't want to be that person who hurt good people..." As Quinton spoke to the nurse. the nurse replied with "Quinton, that night she was brought it she was in pain, she injured some ribs and had a bruised liver. She spent 2 nights in hospital." "How do you know that?" "I was a nurse on duty that night. Quinton if I was on duty that night.  I have never seen anyone in so much pain. Quinton you were drunk yes that isn't an excuse, but here you have a second chance.."

As Quinton's treatment continued, he made strides and had made a commitment to talk about his problems with alcohol. He also wrote a letter to Terese and apologised for his actions, he got a nurse to send it to Sebour, as the PFCAA was located in the Queensland outback. Terese was with Karl when she read the letter.

​"Dear Terese, I am undergoing official treatment to beat my alcohol addiction. I wanted to apologise via a letter since I cannot call you from the outback PFCAA facilites. I know this letter isn't a true apology but I never meant to hurt you, its the only thing I think about now, that I hurt you. I apologise profusely, and you have every right to remain angry and you have every right to hate me. I wanted to write this letter because I needed to do so. -Quinton.."

​Terese finished reading the letter and she ripped it up and said "If he wants to apologise he will have to face me and say it."

Quinton a year later was released from PFCAA and intergrated back into the town. He spoke at events at schools, whilst he was still suspended from medicine.


 * PLEASE NOTE. The controversial storyline was introduced to inform people about Quinton's drinking issue and why Terese and Quinton, spoke but not much after the storyline concluded and it was rarely mentioned on the show why the two dislike each other. this storyline is controversial from the author of this piece of fiction.

​Quinton Faces The Board Again (Season 6 ep 2)
As Quinton was standing outside the hospital full suit and all he was met by 2 security guards. "Dr Philips?" Quinton nodded and said "Yes." "Follow us." Quinton walked with the guards, they took him via the stairs. They stopped Quinton in the stairwell before opening the door to the 10th floor. "Listen Philips. I overheard them say this is your last chance. Mess up again and you will be sacked. And if you mess up again, you will going back to teaching or whatever it was before you arrived here." Quinton nodded and said "This time I'm not breaking anymore rules. I take this chance now." The guard nodded as he opened the door and led Quinton to the boardroom door. Quinton was sweating and he knew this time he had to pull his head in. As Quinton opened the door, Rogers, Tryal and Karl were sitting at the desk all with their arms folded. "Take a seat Dr Philips.." said Rogers. Quinton sat down, and heard the board discuss his situation. "Dr Philips this is your second time facing this board in 3 years.we have every right to get rid of you. For one, you have a history, and its not a good history. We have deliberated in the last year to get rid of you. But something else always comes up as we discussed it. You are a hell of a doctor mate. Ever since you gave up practising 3 trades in medicine you have been wonderful. You are dedicated, you are honest and yet you decided to almost throw your career away. And it stuns me, how many doctors make back into medicine after spending time in a Mental Facility and or jail. It also stuns me, since you  came from a small town its harder for them to understand how a bigger hospital works. We aren't like Begs or Snowy Region.." Quinton nodded as Rogers continued. "In 32 years of my practicsing medicine, I have seen many a doctor be forced to give up careers. But you, Quinton have been one of the few to put the patient first, and give them what they needed. This hospital needs you Quinton and by God, you have shown us from all the things you did during your time giving speechs about the effects of alcohol and how it can be bad for you.." Tryal interjected. "What he is saying Quinton, whilst an assault charge is the worst thing doctor can face, you faced it twice.." Karl scoffed and said "He's been here twice? You're going to let him back into medicine? He went to the middle of nowhere for a year and swore to a court he'd lay off alcohol. He's talked about change, but will he change? Will he do what he needs to.. If he wants to re-gained respect he lost. He better bloody start showing it." Karl had enough and stood up. "Because this is the big leagues, if he hurts someone else he could kill them. It's time to pull your head out Quinton.." Karl walked over to the door and walked out of the room slamming the door shut. Tryal turned and said "He is right Quinton. Very right.. Now you need to earn that respect back with what you have lost and you now must do what you have to. But one more incident Quinton and you are gone.. Do you understand." Quinton nodded and said "I understand. Fully." Rogers nodded and looked to Tryal and said "Since Karl walked out, you are on probabtion for 3 months. No incidents. Now get out." Quinton nodded and walked out of the boardroom. When he got into the elevator he was stopped by Karl. "Listen here, Dr Drunkarse. I don't care what they saw. Mate you are a great doctor. but you need to tone down the good guy act. A lot of people are going to be angry a year after you attacked someone you're being cleared for a return to work. Probbie or not, understand this, I will drag you out of here the next time you do something wrong. got it?" Quinton looked at Karl and said "I got it. Understood. Look mate I am done with that crap. My days are over.." Quinton over the next couple of months pushed himself to do better at his job and he made sure he was doing everything right now, he gave up alcohol entirely and he gave to the community. He apologised to the community for his actions and he said he would earn their respect back.

Terese's Misfortune (Season 6 ep 3)
Quinton was in his office reading up on a few cases, when he heard a knock at the door. "Come in.." it was a nurse. Quinton looked up and said "Can I help you?" "Dr Philips, a lady has been brought in. She has suffered a patellar dislocation." The nurse walked over to Quinton and gave him the x-rays. Quinton looked at the folder and said "These aren't reduction x-rays are they?" "No.. They are not. ER doctors tried to relocate the joint, but to no avail, it didn't even go back in itself." Quinton looking at the x-ray said "How old is this woman?" "Middle-aged." Quinton said as he put the x-ray down and stood up. "I know her don't I?" The nurse nodded and said "It's Mrs Hills, she was walking and the next thing she knew her knee-cap was lateral and she was on the ground." Quinton rubbed his beard as he said "There aren't any other Ortho's are there?" "No. They are all out on a surgical run. They'll be back tomorrow.." Quinton picked up the x-ray and said "Lets go.." as Quinton and the nurse walked to the room Terese was in, Karl said "Guys. Look at the MRI we did." "You did an MRI on a dislocation patient?" Karl held up the MRI and said "The MPFL is gone. I'm not surprised." Quinton grabbed it and said "Jesus. She's done the entire lot here. The kneecap went, and there is a bone bruise which indicates something has broken." "Quinton, you're not going to send her in for surgery are you?" Quinton nodded as he said "She has a career on her feet. What do you want me to do? Leave her in agony?" the nurse said under her breath "hasn't stopped you before..", Quinton snidely said "I heard that. Look we don't fix it and she'll end up with a knee replacment. We can avoid that." Quinton gave the MRI back to Karl and went into Terese's room. Terese was on her side as she looked and said "Oh wonderful. You Quinton." "You to Terese you to.." Quinton looked at Terese's knee and said "How did this happen?" "I was coming out of the building and I felt my leg go. It felt like someone hit me with a bat, and I looked down and saw my knee in the opposite direction. The fetal position was the only one I could get into." Quinton nodded and said "Did you try popping it back in?" "an ER doctor tried, but he said the muscles were to taught." Quinton pointed to the nurse. "Help me turn Terese forward." as Quinton and the nurse put Terese into a forward position, it was clear how bad it was. "Oh my god.." said the nurse. "Nasty injury this is.." said Quinton. Quinton said to Terese "This is going to hurt Terese.I'm sorry." Quinton looked to Karl and said "Turn that oxygen up and give her that green whislte. This is gonna hurt being put back in." Karl gave Terese the green whistle as Quinton lifted Terese's leg, Quinton used a technique he used often. As he lifted the leg up he put pressure on the knee. Quinton said "Now breathe in." As Terese breathed and out Quinton relocated the knee to the sound of a dull pop. Terese let out a little noise and Karl put the oxygen mask on her. "Nurse, the brace please." the nurse passed Quinton a brace and he put it on the leg and said "Now look Terese. I would normally release you thats injury protocol. But your scans showed show much damage. I have to book you in for surgery." "Are you serious?" Quinton held Terese's x-rays and said "Normally when I pop a knee back in I don't hear a crunch noise. The crunch noise is the condyle being injured as it gets put back into place." Quinton then points to bone chips around the knee. "And this up here, these are bone chips, they aren't supposed to be there." Quinton stopped as he second guessed himself. "I don't believe it.." "What?" said Karl. "Impossible.." Quinton looked at Terese's knee and said "She's got patella alta. She's done her tendon as well." Karl looked as well. Quinton grabbed the rooms phone and said "Philips. Book me an operating room please. Thank you. be up in 20 minutes." Quinton said "Far out. You got the entire bridage. Look we're going to look at it and fix whatever is there." "Quinton. That could be up to 6 months recovery." "I know. It's something that needs to be done needs to be fixed.." Karl and the nurse prepped Terese as Quinton was also talking to her. "Terese, I know this is the last think you want. But you gotta know this. If you need anything during rehab, don't hesitate to call me." "I doubt she'll be doing that.." said the nurse. "Thank you Nurse Buzzjoy. But you seem to forget I was in sports for 5 years, and I broke both ankles, fingers, toes. And the dreaded ACL.." the nurse nodded and said "Look I'm sorry, but how can you and her... Be ok with you doing surgery.." Terese looked up and said "I may be angry at him, for what he did, but you sometimes have to move on.Not forgive but move on." "Alright then.." said the nurse. Quinton held his tongue and walked outside the room. He read the xrays and MRI again. He did so as Karl walked to stand next to him. Quinton looked and said "these scans show she's done so much damage. Karl, we need to take her up to surgery, if we repair it we might be able to get her moving again. That'll be the hard part. She has a long road to face, and I hope she isn't going this alone." Karl put his hand on his shoulder and said "She's got Paul mate. She's going to be fine mate.." Quinton nodded as he went upstairs to prep for surgery. As Karl wasn't a surgeon, Quinton invited him into surgery to see how it was going to go down. Quinton started the operation and as it went on Quinton could see the damage for itself. "This is the worst knee injury I have ever seen.." "What's she done Quinton?" "Too much." Quinton demanded quiet as he worked to fix her knee. Quinton in the 4th hour of surgery, finally said "Bone chips removed, MPFL repaired. patella tendon fixed. What has happened here was a knee reconstruction. I've repaired everythiing the best I could.." "What happens now?" said Karl. "We take her to recovery. She'll spend a month on crutches and begin recovery." as Quinton finished up, he walked out of the operation room into the wash room. Quinton took off his gloves and gown, as well as his mask. Quinton washed his hands as Karl was watching. Quinton walked out and into the recovery room, where Terese was awake and talking. Quinton walked over to Terese and said "Terese, you had one of the worst knee injuries I have operated on.. You had an MPFL reconstruction, bone chips removed and the tendon reattached. We repaired it to the best of our ability." Terese nodded and said "How long is recovery." "Depending on how well you heal it could be as long as 6-7 months." Terese nodded and said "I'm ready for anything."

Terese Shares Her Dream (Season 6 ep 43)
Terese was sitting in her office doing paperwork when she had the urge to sing. ​"Little things behind the rise of power. Behind those who cannot stand. We see these things."​ then a knock at the door. Terese stopped singing and said "Come in." It was Dr Linda who had a meeting with Terese. "You have a good voice Terese." "What do you mean?" "I heard you through the door. You have a good voice." Terese smirked and said "I've always enjoyed singing. Ever since I was little. I had a dream I'd end up on Broadway singing in a hit show. But ended up here in Sebour." "Where'd you live before you came to Sebour?" "New York. I was married as well. Wasn't a great marriage. We ended up divorced. I needed a change of scenary." "You travlled alot. How do you end up here? And in charge of a hotel." "Long story. But I was also a manager in New York. The business failed and after I divorced had to fly to here. I fell in love with the place and have been here ever since." "Did you ever go back to New York?" Terese looking up from her computer said "No. I have not.. I keep on thinking if I did, I'd run into my ex-husband." "Did he ever.. hurt you?" "He was a drunk. Pathetic if you ask me. He slapped me one night. I refused to put up with his idiocy and divorced him 3 months later. Said he would change. He never did." as the topic came back around to Terese's singing, "How about you come to the bar later and belt out a tune? We'd love to hear it." "I don't know if I could..." "The invites there. But its broadway night, and a lot people belt out show tunes. The other night someone sang 'Bosom Buddies' from Mame and nailed it, it wasn't Lansbury and Arthur fantastic but they nailed it." Terese smiled as she said "Alright. I'll be there." Terese was holding a folder as she opened it and said "Now business?" "Yes of course." as Terese and Dr Linda did their business deal which was a Musical for the hospital to raise funds for their Heart Unit. An hour later the two were done and Linda thanked Terese. Later that day Terese left work and went to the bar. At the bar she saw Paul who was singing a song from the movie "Lion King" after Paul finished his song everyone clapped. Quinton was sitting in the corner drinking a mocktail as Karl sat next to him. "I thought you said you gave up drinnking Quinton.." "It's a mocktail, I have work in the morning." as the announcer said "Next in our broadway song, sing-a-long is Terese singing 'Fifty Percent', Terese took to the stage and started singing the song, she sounded so good the crowd were on their feet waving their arms in unison. Terese then belted out "Though you don't plaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan to fall in love, when you fall you fall..." (holding it for 15 seconds) as Terese finished the crowd of the bar cheered a loud cheer and Terese smiled a big smile. "Thank you! Thank you everyone." Terese put the mic back on the stand and stepped off the stage. Linda came up to Terese and said "That...Was...Amazing..." Terese couldn't get the smile off her face. "It's been a long time since I sung that song. It's my go to." "I love the way you said the word 'fall' very dark and deep." "How i've always ended the song." Terese then said "Make no big deal of this please, I just wanted to get up there and sing a song I loved to sing."

​Quinton Finds Out About His Parents (Season 6 Ep 50 Final)
Quinton was looking through photos of his parents, Quinton had missed his parents since his move to Sebour, he heard nothing from them, which was weird. Quinton put the photo book down and he called someone he knew. "Trish, this is Quinton. Can you tell me what happened to my parents?" Trish responded with "I don't know Quinton, but its been a long time since we last saw you." "Tell me the truth Trish, what happened.."

Another Controvserial Episode (Season 7 Ep 22)
Terese was sitting at home when Pepper walked in shocked. "Pepper, are you ok? Did you and Tyler have a fight." "No ma. Tyler out on business in the states." Pepper sat next to her and said "I'm 4 weeks ma." Terese catching on immediately. "Does Tyler know?" "No.. I don't want him to know either." "One question is, are you ready for this? We have a checked medical history you know.." Pepper nodded "I'm scared." Terese hugged Pepper and said "There is a choice, now this time you have to make a life changing decision." "I know. I know." "We will go the clinic in the morning, and see how far along you actually are. You have a lot to think about." "What about Quinton? Doesn't he work there?" "Not that I know of. But you can use an assumed name. You don't have to use a real one. Go to bed and think about this." The next morning Terese and Pepper went to the Sebour Med Clinic and saw the doctor. Dr Linda."Your bloodwork is correct showing me you are 4 weeks pregnant. I guess that is why you are here. You are not ready to be a parent?" Pepper nodded as she said "I'm just scared. The only people who know are my mother and dr Kennedy." Linda nodded and said "I have his notes. He sent me those particular notes, and while they do worry me. It shows that right now you are healthy with over 90% kidney function." "Is that good?" "Not where we would like it to be. But one thing now is that I can not make this choice for you. Have a think about it and if you chose not to go full term with this baby, you are doing the bravest thing a woman can do. I'll see you when you make your decision." Linda stood up and then said "I also heard that Quinton has taken time off. He wont be here or in any hospital for about a month, he is detoxing again." "That's why we didn't see him when we came in. I couldn't imagine what he would think if he found out.." "Quinton is like every other doctor in this building, everything is need to know. The Clinic is under oath not to release any patient information ever. If they do find out, we say that everyone at this clinic was being treated for pregnancy related injuries or an injury, and this was the closest place they could go. Right now. You have nothing to be afraid of. It is a safe procedure." "Thank you Dr Linda." Pepper and Terese thanked Linda and walked back to the car. "You need to tell Tyler.." "I will. Just not now. This decision will be a hard one. But I want to hear someone elses thoughts. What about you ma, what are your thoughts about abortion?" Terese sat on the grass and turned to Pepper. "Its a decision, that can save lives. I have no problem with someone having one. But I do need to know. If you want this. If you want to keep such a thing a secret from your boyfriend. It may no longer be a 'dirty word' but you need to face this head on. I can't be there when you make this choice, but I can lead you in the right direction. I've seen people die in childbirth Pep. I watched a close friend have a seizure while giving birth. She didnt survive of course this was back in 67, back then it was horrific to give birth. But these days it is safer." "This is something I dont think I could do." Terese put her arms around Pepper and said "Give it a think. and make sure you make your own decision." Terese and Pepper went home. Pepper ran into Karl's wife Linda and asked Linda a question. "Linda may I ask you a very personal question?" "Hunny sit down, before you fall down." Pepper and Linda sat down, "I want to know if someone you know was pregnant and had a family history of problems, what would you do?" "I've been that woman. I've made that choice hun. It is a choice that only that person can make. Its important that if it's an abortion to know that people are there to talk to, that everyone understands, medical problems can do this to some people but I have been their darling. I miscarried and had to have that operation." Pepper nodded and then asked "What happens afterward?" "You try and move on. You be strong. It takes a while to get used to the fact that you were pregnant. That you had something grow. But that moment I was told I couldnt bear children anymore was the toughest of my life. I went through both ovaries, both burst." "Good God." Linda held Pepper's hand and said "You are pregnant?" Pepper nodded and said "Its a choice at my age I never thought I'd be making." "No one does. It is a tragic set of circumstances. Whatever your body is doing, your body is doing the thing that it is supposed to do." "Thank you for listening to me Linda." Linda hugged Pepper and said "Do it for yourself. And no one else. Be brave." Pepper smiled as she left Linda's front yard. 2 days later Terese and Pepper where at the clinic, Pepper was going into surgery whilst Terese was sitting in the waiting room. As Terese was waiting, Quinton was walking around and he spotted her, "Terese?" "Quinton.. What are you doing here?" "My rounds. the fracture clinic bring me here remember?" Terese nodded. As Quinton talked to Terese a doctor came out and said "Mrs Hills?" Terese looked up and said "Yes?" "Mrs Hills, there has been a complication." "Complication? What complication?" "Mrs Hills, before we put her under she was complaining of severe abdominal pain and cramps. We did a check up before surgery to see if she was ok, but she wasn't. Mrs Hills we ran more detailed tests and it turns out both ovaries burst, and it sent two tennis ball sized tumours into her tubes." "I don't understand?" "Mrs Hills. Pepper has miscarried and right now we need to perform serious surgery." "The tumours? how did this happen?" The doctor explained "We haven't the time for this Mrs Hills, but your family medical history of reproductive cancers, it's not easy to explain, but because of what the ovaries have done, she can no longer have children." "May I ask. Is the D&E done?" "Mrs Hills at this moment they are doing it right now. But we need your permission to peform a radical hysterectomy." Terese's eyes widened as she looked at Quinton and then the doctor.. "Do it. save her." The doctor then said "Mrs Hills. She is a strong young woman. She'll be ok." As the doctor walked away, Quinton looked at Terese and said "Terese. I think Tyler needs to know." Terese nodded and said "He certainly does, but how do I break that type of news.." "Tell the truth. Tell him everything. Tell him that she is having a procedure that will save her life." Terese got out her phone and stepped outside to make the call. "Tyler. honey its me Terese. If you are near a chair you need to hear this. Pepper is undergoing a procedure that will save her life. She is undergoing a radical hysterectomy. Tyler she miscarried." Tyler on the other side of the phone saying, "Terese... That's a bombshell even for me. Is she ok, how is she doing?" "She's still in surgery, but they found two tumours, which caused the ovaries to both burst." "Terese, I cant make it back in time, i've been offered more work and.." "I dont care if you got offered more work. Your girlfriend is undergoing a proceduire which leads to early menopause, do I need to explain more? You take that work and you will never see her again. When she wakes up mister, she'll want to know why her yutz of a boyfriend wont leave work in the states to see her! This is serious Tyler. If something terrible happens, we need to be there for eachother." "Terese. I am coming home. I just cant leave this situation right now. But please look after her for me? Terese. I am having trouble over here as well. My passport got suspended and I'm being pushed into legal proceedings with the company I am working for." "Tell them its urgent family emergency. My daughter is your family. I don't care if you end up arrested on the flight home. Get your arse here Tyler!." Terese hung up and went back inside. She sat back down on the chair and looked at Quinton. "Quinton you don't have to be here. You have other patients remember." "I know. I know I do." Quinton put his arms around Terese and said "She's strong. very strong. She'll be ok." 4 hours later another doctor rushed out to talk to Terese. "Mrs Hills. Please excuse this. But we couldnt ween your daughter off the anaestetic. We tried everything." "What are you saying?" "We keep people in recovery without their family for about an hour. And as we got her into recovery, the drugs didn't wear off." "Are you saying, she could be like that forever?" "Dr Quinton, we need you to fill out this form." Quinton was handed the form and read it. "This is a transfer form." "What?" said Terese in shock. "This is a transfer form to Sebour Hospital Cardiac Ward." Terese confused "Why does she need to go there." Quinton faced Terese and said "She's gone into cardiac arrest. That's why. this form is sending her to the best doctors in the country." "She went in for a simple operation, how does she end up getting transferred to Sebour Hospital?!!" "Terese. That is why we take medical histories. Yours is very checked. Heart problems, reproductive issues." "I'm sorry, but we can't wait around, she is being flown to the cardiac ward at the hospital now. Dr Quinton because you are the closest doctor here, please sign it." Quinton looked at Terese and signed the form, the doctor rushed back to where he came from. Terese still standing stunned and shocked when Quinton said "Terese, sit down before you fall down." Terese sat down then stood up again and said "I don't know why you are still here Quinton. The last time you 'cared' for me, you told me you loved me alway. What was that quote you told me, 'I will always love you' and I loved you Quinton, until you told me who you really had feelings for. I shouldn't be feeling this way, this right now, is not about me, its about my daughter." Terese then said "If you want to do me a solid Quinton, please drive me to Sebour Hospital. If I drove myself right now I'd crash into a tree." Quinton nodded and walked with Terese before he stopped to answer his phone. "Philips speaking. Yup, yeah. Ok thank you. On our way now." Quinton hungup as they got to the car and said "That was Karl, Pepper is being rushed in for triple bypass surgery. As of this moment, she is criticial." "Critical? Critical... Jesus, Mary and Joseph.. I don't know how much more of this I can take." "I've also been called in as well. MVA on the highway, multiple hurt, 3 dead. Terese please remember no matter what, family is the most important thing in the world. Be there for her when she wakes up, when she see's you make sure you have a grin or smile. She'd want to know if her mother had been their for her." "Quinton, when was the last time you said that?" "To my son. Explaining how his mother died. Do you know how it feels to pull your own loved one out of a car? To have work suspended for 2 months because no one wanted to go back to work? Terese, I have been there. My first wife Jen had a troubled pregnancy. She fainted every day for 8 months, until she fainted down stairs! You know how scary it is, even though you are a doctor to be told nothing as they wheel her into to surgery? Its horrible Terese, but I cared then, and I care now. Just because we fought years ago doesn't mean I can't help being afraid with you." Quinton got out of the car at the hospital and said "I'm sorry Terese. But I wish her all the luck in the world." Quinton hugged Terese and walked away. Terese made the long agnosising walk to the cardiac centre. As she walked she bumped into Dr Linda. "Terese. Good you made it." Terese looked and said "This has been the day from hell. How is she going?" Dr Linda and Terese walked and talked, "She is still in surgery, but she is doing very well. What happened today during her regular surgery was how something can tick in the body for so long. Her body couldn't take the stress of being under, and it couldnt take the surgeons taking out the reproductive organs. A 22 year old as healthy as she was is something we see often in the medical profession. It is why I am a doctor." "I just don't understand, how she miscarried, and they found tumours. and 3 hours later, ending up having heart surgery." Terese stopped as she started crying. Linda stopped as well and held Terese. "She is going to survive this Terese. You need to be strong now. She needs you. Heart surgery isn't the end of the world" 'It might as well be. How many 22 year olds do you know having TRIPLE BYPASS?" "Not many. But it does happen. Right now. You need to sit down before you.." As Linda was going to finish her sentence Terese collapsed in Linda's arms. "I need a medic over here!." As two doctors rushed to Terese's side, one brought a gurney and helped her on it. "What happened? This the mother with the kid having bypass?" "Yes. She collaspsed, we were just about to go sit down." "ER?" "No, we're going to leave her outside. Of course you idiot. go." as Terese was wheeled into emergency, Quinton was there as she was placed into a different bed. "What happened?" "She collapsed Quinton." said Linda. Quinton walked over to Terese and put his hand to her neck and felt for a pulse. "I have a pulse. Strong." Quinton then got the torch out of his pocket and shone the light in her eyes, "Pupils are equal and reactive." "Quinton. She is concious. She is exhausted. You'd be to after the day she's had." "Run these tests. Make sure she didn't collapse because she stroked out." "Stroked out? Quinton are you serious?" "Linda, I cant be on this case. You know that. I will hand her over to someone else." Linda then slapped Quinton and said "That is an excuse. She is breathing, she is concious, she is exhausted, we will run those tests, but nothing will come up. Quinton she's had the worst day any mother could have. Don't turn your back now." Quinton held Linda's hand and said "I just can't do this right now. Linda, I'm trying to get Tyler a flight back over here. And because of the court proceedings he's having, he doesn't know that Terese collapsed or Pepper is in surgery again. I called but it went to voice message." "Maybe he's on the plane? Maybe something happened. But you need to be with that woman. Right now Quinton." Quinton walekd back over to Terese and put a nasal tube in her nose and turned on the oxygen. "Quinton, tests are back. As I said Quinton, those tests were a waste of time." "Linda, not now." "Quinton she collapsed because of stress. She's scared." "Damn right I am.." said Terese. "Terese how do you feel?" "Like I just dropped. How do you think?" "Terese something like this is very rare. But if you do move around today any more, we are putting you in a wheelchair. For your own safety." "That I can deal with. Any news?" "I finally got through to Tyler. He is on his first flight home." "You didn't tell him about me did you?" "I had to Terese. He is scared to, he postponed his legal proceedings for now. He said he'll deal with them when Pepper gets better." Linda walked over to Terese and said "You need to rest. We are going to move you into a quiet room. To get some rest. This time you will rest Terese." "What if I don't?" "Want to collapse seeing your daughter? Thats not a good look." Terese nodded and said "Ok sure." as they wheeled Terese into a quiet room Quinton was standing at the phone talking to Tyler. "Tyler. no change. No change what so ever. Heart surgery takes a long time mate. You just need to get here." Quinton hung up as he walked away. Quinton walked into the break room and he sat down as Karl walked in. "Quinton, how is everyone?" "I wouldn't be able to tell you that. Its all over the joint. Terese still hates me and Tyler wants nothing to do with this situation. Mate I don't know any more." "Stress for you isn't good Quinton. How is your own health first?" "I'm ok. really." Quinton stood up and rubbed his leg. He looked at Karl as he opened the door. "Its hard knowing where I am now. I've been sick, i've had a heart attack. It's no longer about me anymore. Everyone else matters." Quinton walked away and outside. Dr Linda had some good news finally. "Terese, its me Linda." "Linda, what is the matter?" "A good matter Hun." Linda brought in a wheelchair and helped Terese into it. "Pepper is out of surgery now. And she is in ICU."

Pepper in ICU (Season 7 Ep 23)
As Terese was wheeled into ICU, Karl was watching over Pepper. "I've never seen anything like this before..." said Terese. "Terese. She is stable, and doing better than we expected after heart surgery. In the next couple of hours if she improves, we will take out the oxygen tube." Terese put her hand on Pepper's and said "You're a strong young lady. You can do this. You can make it." Terese held Pepper's hand tightly and put her head to her daughters head and gave her a kiss. Linda helped Terese into the chair beside the bed and said "You can stay as long as you need Terese." "Thank you Linda." as the doctors left, Terese started talking to her daughter. "You know you gave me a huge scare today. But this scare has made me see what you grew up to be. A young gorgeous girl. You were the little girl scared of traffic, who now travels here and back everyday. You got your dream job." As Terese continued talking, Tyler was at the door and he quietly made his way over to Terese. Terese turned and said "You finally made it." "I did.. but there is something else you need to know." "You two broke up? I know." "How did you know?" Terese got up and slapped Tyler across the face. "She told me the NIGHT before surgery, when she found out she was pregnant. You ran to the states. You couldn't handle the fact, that you were going to be a father. Or the fact, you were scared yourself." "Terese, we broke up months ago. I cheated on her with a girl from work. When you called me and said she was having surgery, I was in a meeting with lawyers. I was being sued. I am being sued." "Good. I hope you go to prision." "Should we be aruging here?" "What an unconcious person can still hear everything we say. So say it. tell me." "My name isn't Tyler. My name is Richard Tyler Simpson." "Why is that lying? It's still Tyler in a way." "Tyler is my nickname. I was in hiding for 10 years." "You what?" "Terese. I was in witness protection for 10 years. I just happen to fall in love with your daughter." "Witness protection? Did she know?" "No of course not. But she found out and we broke up. I had no idea she was pregnant. When you called it was the first I had heard of it. Terese please. She found another man. And he is 10x better than I am. She deserves better than me. A real Tyler. She found him here at the hospital months ago. He needs to know now." "I think he does. Because he is her real love. Not someone who lived a lie for 10 years." "Terese. I was arrested as part of a murder trial. I bargained and got protection. Then they found me out. I killed someone Terese. I pushed someone off a cliff." "You are a horrible person. She loved you." "It wasn't love. it was a relationship." "That is love to me. And you broke her heart and mine when you didn't get on that plane when I called you." as Richard continued talking the police came into Pepper's room and arrested Richard. "Look after her Terese. She is very kind hearted and special. The world needs more Pepper's." "You're damn right." As Richard left with the police, Terese sat back down and waited for Pepper to wake up. As Karl walked into check on Pepper, he saw Terese asleep and put a blanket around her. The next morning came as Terese awoke to see, Karl taking the breathing tube out of Pepper's throat. "Karl, what are you doing? Doesn't she need that?" Karl held up an oxygen mask and said "She is getting good oxgyen stats now. The mask is more comfortable." "Right.." "You looked peaceful last night. After your scare yesterday, you looked peaceful." "I feel weak Karl. Stuff like this... makes me feel weak." Karl went to Terese and hugged her. Terese looked over at Pepper to see her hand moving. "Karl she's waking!" Karl let go of Terese and turned to Pepper. "Pepper if you can hear me. Squeeze my hand." Pepper squeezed Karl's hand and Karl said "Welcome back, Pepper." Pepper was weak but waking. Terese held Pepper's hand and said "You had a majar surgery, we thought you were really gone." Pepper started properly coming to as the bed was wound up. "Where is Richard?" "Richard left sweetheart. He was arrested." Pepper then said "What type of surgery?" "Triple bypass. You were the first 22 year old in 30 years to have Triple Bypass." "Gee." As Karl smiled to Pepper he said "You have a long way to come back from now. The next couple of hours after you wake up are crucial." "I am awake now. And I am feeling ok." "Trust me. You are not ok. Anything but. Major surgery like this has complications, a lot of them. As of this moment, your battle to be alive, begins." Karl kissed Pepper on the forehead as he removed the oxygen mask. "Recovery can take months, even years. But you are healthy and can get through this." Karl said as he walked out of the room. "Tell me ma.. What did they find during the other operation." "non cancerous tumours. But they had to do a radical..." "I get the picture... I wont be able to bare children." a single tear rolled down her cheek. "Ma. This sucks." "I know it does." "How did it all happen. If it was a simple operation, how did I end up going to bypass surgery?" "Its a long story. Family history is part of it."... 4 weeks later Pepper was released from hospital, to the amazement of everyone else. "Now, Pepper. If you have any chest pain, do not hesitate to come in immediately. You have to remember to take the meds and exercise, light and simple for about 3 months." "Thank you Dr Karl, everyone."

Quinton's Helpful Act Ends Horribly (Season 7 ep 32)
Quinton was on his way to work when he came across an accident scene with police everywhere. He drove up to the scene and got out to help but was stopped by an officer, "Sir, you cannot be here. Get back in your car and go." Quinton then said "I'm a doctor! I'm on my way to work!" "Right this way then!" They rushed over to the scene with the officer explaining "The crash happened 20 minutes ago, traffic is backed up and we are controlling it. Medics are on site, and theres been two deaths. Doc, we need all the help we can get. You ready for this?" "As ready as I'll ever be. Gimme a minute. I have to make a call." Quinton got his phone out and called the hospital. "Quinton, you are late, where are you?" "Helping at a traffic accident. MVA two dead multiple hurt. Get resus ready, and get the operating rooms ready. Its gonna be a hell of a day." "On it." Quinton hung up and put his phone away. Quinton went to a medic who gave him gloves to put on. "Dr Quinton." "Barry." Quinton nodded as he said "Gimme the low down." "Two broken legs over there, a dislocated hip, shoulder and ankle over here." "I'll take the shoulder and the guy over the baricade." Barry nodded as Quinton went over to help. "My name is Dr Quinton. How's the shoulder?" "Jack. Shoulder's screwed. I was on the way to work when this happened. I was getting a promotion for what I do. But I guess that'll have to wait." Quinton felt the shoulder and said "Its out. but I can put it in quickly and smoothly." Jack holding the green whistle said "Anything. Just please put it back in." Quinton nodded and as he did he popped the shoulder back in. Quinton then put a sling around the arm and said "Now. Go with the medics, you will taken for an x-ray and a rehabiliation course." "Thank you very much." Jack walked to the ambulance as Quinton wiped his head. Quinton got up as he felt a sharp pain go through his chest. "Ah.." Quinton looked and saw a paramedic come to him. "Quinton, are you ok?" "No. But I have to keep going. These people need me." "Quinton, if you're not ok, you need to tell us." "I'm never ok. thats just me. Common we got lives to save." Quinton rubbed his chest as the medic walked away. Quinton then walked over to the man on the baricade, "Sir, how are you going?" "Eh. What's to feel." Quinton looked as he saw the man's arm was trapped. "Nothing I am assuming." He nodded, "If I were to move this piece of metal, what would I find?" "No arm?" Quinton chucked as his chest began to pound. "You don't look so well." "I've been told worse you know." The man reached into his car and pulled out asprin. "Here. Take one." "What is it?" "Asprin." Quinton took one and said "Thanks." Quinton continued to inspect the metal beam and he pulled it away from the car and saw hand was broken beyond recognition. "Good lord..." said Quinton. "I have never seen that in 20 years of medicine." Quinton signalled a medic and said "Get him to hospital now!" Quinton walked with the medic as police were hauling cars away. "Get him to the closest hospital. Now." as Quinton turned to Barry he pulled him over and said "Barry, watch me." "Why?" "I got chest pain mate." "Quinton, you know you had a heart attack before you know. Is it the same feeling?" "It is.." "Quinton, sit down." "Barry we need to do this. Let me get these people out of here first." "Quinton, by the time that happens you'll be dead." "At least I did something productive." "Don't even joke about that Quinton. this is your health." "And this is a MVA site. Mate, just watch me." "this goes aganist everything I'm for you know.. But i'll do it." As Quinton helped another patient a radio from a police officer went off. 'There's a car that broke police barriers, its coming your way be careful. It's going at least 80ks.' 'noted thank you.' Quinton continued working as he called Barry over, Barry concerned, helped Quinton to the ambulance. "Quinton, enough. Time to go." As Barry walked around to the front of the ambulance, Quinton heard car tires screeching and saw the car heading for Barry. Barry wasn't watching as he was talking to patient in the front of the ambulance. Quinton yelled out "Barry! Move." Quinton said that as he shoved Barry out of the way. Quinton was hit by the car, as he rolled off the bonet and back on to the road. The driver sped off and Quinton was laying on the ground. "Quinton.." said Barry as he went over to him, grabbed a neck brace and placed it on him, "Quinton can you hear me?" Quinton groaned and said "My ribs feel like there being crushed. My heart is hurting Barry." Barry nodded to a medic and said "Call ahead. Let them know we're travelling. Catergory 1. Heart attack MVA.", at the hospital Karl was talking to Linda and heard the batphone ring. "Hello Sebour Hospital." "Catergory 1, heart attack and hit by a car. 58 yo male." the phone buzzed out and Karl turned and said "58 year old, heart attack hit by a car. prep resus and call surgery tell them to prep." "Anything else?" "No just that." back at the MVA site Quinton was barely able to talk as he was being placed into the back on the ambulance. "Quinton, Quinton. you are struggling to breathe and your sounds aren't good. We need to put you out and get you to hospital. Quinton we have to tube you." Quinton struggled to say "Do....It...Barry...Do....it...Now.." as Barry got a needle with sedation in it he looked at Quinton and Quinton looked back with a scared look. "Quinton, you'll be ok. I promise mate." as Barry sedated and tubed Quinton, Barry called ahead again. "We have more info." said Karl, "What?" "58 yo has been sedated and tubed. struggling to breathe." as Karl finished talking he gathered a group of doctors. "Alright you know the drills, catergory one, heart attack at a MVA, then was struck by a car. he's been tubed and sedated, injuries arent known. but whoever it is, dignity and fairness." As Karl heard the ambulance coming, Barry and a team of medics rushed into the hospital. As Karl saw the bed go past he looked in horror and said "Is that?" Linda following the paramedics said "Yes!" Karl ran with Linda and the group of doctors to the resus bay. "How did this happen Barry?" "The accident, Quinton was helping wasn't he?" Barry nodded and said "He was having chest pain and I just sat him down to tell him to stop. He pushed me out of the way. He got hit, landed and his ribs are broke and his chest was aching, he said that took an asprin at the scene. The other injuries arent so clear. But as of this moment he is critical." Barry and Karl moved Quinton to the other bed. Barry looked sad as he went back with the other medic. "Cardiac surgeons just finishing up now, they'll be ready soon." said Linda. Karl nodded as xrays were taken. "Confirmed 4 broken ribs. No neck injury but there is swelling. "Swap out the hard collar for a soft collar." said another doctor. as they did that Karl looked at the scans from his brain. "Guys. we need to get to Quinton up to surgery now. brain bleed." "And heart attack. Don't forget that." "No time to screw around lets go." they rushed off upstairs. Karl walked to the elevator with them. "What happens now?" said a rookie doctor. "We take him to surgery. He gets it. We'll see if his body is up for another fight.." "What do you mean?" "He's beaten cancer and had a heart attack before this. He may be strong, but he'll need to be right now. He is the bravest man I have ever met." "Also the dumbest.. Wouldn't you stop helping out if you had chest pain?" "You don't know Quinton. He's put in so many hours here. He's operated on most of us in this hospital. He worked 6 months with a torn ACL, worked 3 with a broken arm. performed risky surgeries. Quinton is a fool, but he knows what he is doing." as the elevator got to the bottom floor Linda said "You coming?" "No." as the bed went into the elevator Karl closed the door, and went outside for fresh air, as he was walking outside he took his gloves off and put them in the bin. Karl went outside to see media waiting. Karl sat down on the bench and had his hands on his head, as the world spun around Karl, Quinton was having surgery his heart and his brain. It was silent as they worked without talking, the only thing you chould hear where the machines, then Jim said "What happens next. After surgery I mean." Linda looking at Jim said "We pray he makes it. Right now. As of this moment he is critical, but alive." As they finished up the surgery, Karl was still sitting outside, when Terese was with Pepper. "Karl, are you ok?" "Oh Terese. I can't tell you what type of day I have had." "What happened Karl?" "I can't say anything Terese. You'll find out soon enough." Karl said as he stood up. "The hell does that mean?"  Karl then said "I can't say anymore. I gotta go." Karl rushed back inside. Karl bumped in Barry who said "How is he Karl?" Karl walked with Barry "Baz... He is critical." "I know." "What else can I say.. I didn't go upstairs with the surgeons." "You're not a surgeon?" "I am a simple A n E doctor. The only thing I operated on was the operation game." "He's tough you know." "Yeah.. A gunshot wound. A heart attack, and a bout of cancer. Life can throw you a curveball." "More like curseball." "How are the others from the scene?" "The scene's just been cleaned up. Broken hand guy had his hand amputed. And two others left hospital. Surprising anyone survived that pile up." "Indeed." Barry tapped Karl's shoulder as he walked away. Karl looked toward the elevator and walked over to it. Karl got into the elevator and went up to outside the operating room, he went into the view bay which was empty. "Karl.." said a voice from the door. "He's out of surgery now." He turned to see it was Linda. "How's he doing?" Linda went up to Karl and sat down with him. "He doesn't look good. He had his brain bleed evacuated, and his heart operated on. We had to plate his broken ribs and stitch up cuts." "Linda.." Linda turned to him in tears and said "He's in a coma now. Karl... I don't think he'll survive.." Karl embraced Linda and said "He's a fighter. Strong." "Karl.. I can't do this anymore. Operating on friends. I don't think I will be able to do this anymore." "Think about it for awhile." Karl kissed Linda as Karl stood up and walked away. Karl walked to the outside of Quinton's room, he didn't go in but he put his hand on the window and saw the tubes and things coming out of his mouth and body. "Karl..Whose in there." Karl turned around to see Kari standing with flowers behind him. Karl moved out of the way and let Kari see. "Is that... Quinton?" "Yes..." "What happened Karl? How did that happen?" Karl and Kari sat on the bench outside the room and said, "He was helping out at a MVA site. He was suffering chest pain, a medic told him to sat down, he did. As he sat down he heard a car, it was going toward the paramedic. He pushed the medic out of the way and took the blow." Kari looked through the window and said "He looks like hell." "You would as well after brain and heart surgery." "How much more can he take." "Kari. He is critical." "Is he stable?" "Critical but stable at the moment. But you never know what happens." Kari looked at Karl and said "Does Terese know?" "Should she? The two don't even talk anymore." "They dated. She may still have feelings for him." as Karl went back to the window, he saw how peaceful Quinton looked. As Kari joined him, Karl heard a familiar voice it was Terese's voice. Karl turned around as Terese was wheeling out Pepper. "Looks like a white coat convention." "Believe me its not." said Karl as he held back tears. Kari slipped away and Linda came up. "White coats are out of date. How are you two doing?" "As better as Kari is. She just slipped away crying." "Seems she did.." said Karl. Terese walked over to Karl and said "What's happening Karl." Karl moved and said "Look." Terese looked into the window and jumped back shocked. "Is that..." Karl nodded and said "It is." "He was the heart attack at the MVA? He was the one hit by the car? Jesus. How is he..?" "Not doing to well." "Can I go in?" "I thought you two hated each other?" "I may still hate what he did. But we all can feel scared. Now can I go in?" "Fine." Terese opened the door. "Quinton. If you can hear me its Terese. You know for years I resented you. I wanted to kick you out of my life for good." as Terese sat in the chair next to the bed she put her hand to his. The machines beeping. Outside Karl said "What do you think she's saying to him?" "Nothing special. The same crap everyone says." said Pepper. "Like what Pepper?" "You'll be fine, live for me please I love you." "Oh wow.." "It really brings some people through you know." "Yeah.. I do." back in the room Terese said "You can pull through Quinton, you always do."  Terese kissed Quinton's head as she said with a tear in her eye "It wouldn't be the same without you." Terese stood up and walked over to the door and opened it with a smile. Terese then said "He can and will make it." as she closed the door. "He had heart and brain surgery Terese. His body is in the fight of its life.." Terese then said "Don't you dare give up on him.." as she went over to Pepper and said "He was scared for my daughter, we shouldn't be scared for him. He's done it all." Terese wheeled Pepper away and said to Karl as she left "Do what you must. Keep him alive."

Quinton Sees His Wife (Season 7 Ep 33)
As Quinton was still lying in ICU he was in between the great light. He was dreaming about finally going back to see his ex-wife, Jenifer. As Quinton stopped at some gates he heard a voice. "Quinton." he turned, it was Jen. "Jenifer! Its you! I am glad to see you." "Quinton, you're not ready to be here." "Why not?" "Because you have unfinished business to attend to." "I have tubes coming out of everywhere Jen." "You had your brain operated on and your heart you broke ribs..Helping out paramedics, Quinton. That is one thing you should be proud of." "should I really? I've done stuff even you wouldnt like." "I know Quinton. I am in your subconcious. You are still guilty about that night you hurt Terese you have never forgiven yourself. And you don't deserve to be." "What?" "I can say this now. But you aren't ready to come across this white border into heaven. You have so much left to give.." "Like what if I do survive this, I could possibly be paralysed?" "Or worse." "Worse, whats worse?" "You being down. Is whats worse. Now look here Quinton Steven Philips. We were married for 20 years. You never once broke down in front of me. Because I did that." "I did once. I broke down the day you went into labour after falling down the stairs!" "Good example... But you cant stay." Jen went up to Quinton and held his chin. "You will have your time. Just not right now.." "It's been over a month Jen. My body may not come back from this.." "It will, believe me." "I had my birthday in a coma. How does that feel." "Odd. but fun." back in the normal world, Karl was standing in Quinton's room watching his vital signs come up. Linda was next to him "His heart beat is getting stronger." "Should we take off the neck brace? Its been over a month now." Karl nodded as the two carefully took off the brace and put Quinton's head back on the pillow. Back in Quinton's dream, he stood at the gates as Jen took his hand. "Quinton. I'll be here waiting for you. ​Please remember. Live the rest of your life before you come back. I will be back" as Jen stroked Quniton's cheek "I love you Jen. Take care." "You as well." as Quinton's soul moved back into his head, his heart beat was getting stronger and stronger. Karl looking at Linda and saying "Reckon his concious told him something." "Not in the slightest." "I reckon someone did. Because thats the highest his heart rate's been since he has been here." as the two continued talking, Dr Leo walked in and said "I see his heart has finally started to beat again. Tough old guy Quinton is." "Leo what are you doing here." "Being a doctor making my rounds. This is none of my business, but Quinton has been in a coma for 1 month and 31 days. If that were me. I would've pulled the plug. Not because of his age but because of the stress the machines can put on a person. Look he's now 59. He may be healthy but gee." "Leo.." "What?" "Go away." as Linda was holding Quinton's hand, it twitched. "Karl.. Quinton's hand moved." As Karl got a torch out of his pocket he shone it in Quinton's eyes. "Pupils are equal and reacting to light. He is waking up." Karl took Quinton's hand and said "Quinton, squeeze my hand, if you are waking squeeze my hand." Quinton squeezed Karl's hand. as he opened his eyes weakly. "Do we remove the breathing tube?" "Give it time." Quinton slowly waking up, with Dr Leo walking back into the room. "He's waking?" "Leo.. I swear to god." "No that is good." Leo went over to Quinton and said "Welcome back Q. " as Leo said "As an intervenist its been hard watching you. We thought you'd never wake. We will get you up and moving in a couple of days. If you are up for it we will remove the intubation kit thats in your throat." as Leo said that there was a knock on the door. "Come in." it was Kari. "Kari just in time." "What do you mean in time?" Leo moved as Quinton was finally awake. Kari looking in awe  Kari walked over to a struggle smiling Quinton. And kissed him on the head. "Welcome back hero." As Kari put the flowers down she said to Leo and Karl, "What's next for this one?" "If all goes well. We can remove the breathing tube in a couple of hours to allow him to breathe on his own. We'll get a physio in to help him with breathing exercises due to his broken ribs not healing the way we wanted them to. We were lucky enough to have the continuance passive motion machine in here to keep his legs from atropying. But he will need extensive physiotherapy. And because of his heart attack, he will need medication. For the rest of his life. Even though he is already on it for his previous attack, this lot will be stronger." Quinton rolled his eyes as Karl said "Roll those eyes Quinton, because you will do as we say. Until now you've had a slow recovery. We had a proxy for the last month on standby. Quinton when we take this tube out, you will say you will do everything in your power to be here, fit and healthy." Karl said this as he walked to the door. "We will be back in a couple of hours. To take out the tube and finally get you comfortable." Quinton nodded as Karl walked out with Leo. Kari was still with him as she said "The MVA site. I know you want to know about that. Broken-Hand Man had successful surgery was out 3 days later. Shoulder Man, was released that night, booked in for rotator-cuff surgery next month, the rest are all ok." Quinton nodded as he rested his head to the side. A couple of hours passed as Karl came back into the room with Leo who helped Karl take out Quinton's breathing tube. "Now Quinton, Karl is going to hold your jaw while I get the tube out. I have to turn off the machine first, then the intubation tube. You will be breathing on your own, but we will have nasal prongs on standby for you. Karl." as Karl opened Quinton's jaw, Leo unhooked the machine from tube itself. Leo then said "This will be a little nasty." Leo then took out the tube and put in on the tray. "Oxygen levels are stable." said Karl as he closed Quinton's mouth. Karl then put the nasal prongs on Quinton. "Now Quinton.. I want you to try and speak." Quinton opened his mouth to croaky words of "When's dinner?" Karl chuckled as he said "Not for you young man. Liquid diet until you can keep down solids. you know how it goes." Quinton smiled as he said again croaky. "How is Barry?" "Barry is doing well Quinton. We messaged him telling him you were awake. He'll try and see you when he gets off his shift." "How bad was the damage?" "You had a severe cardiac episode, broken ribs and a brain bleed. You were critical when you came in. You were a catergory 1." "Bypass?" "Double. You were lucky. Very lucky to be alive." "How long?" "You've been in here for over a month. You had a slow recovery. Because of your age, your body already being weakish from your previous cancer diagnosis. Quinton you are still in a serious condition, were if you were to be rushed back into surgery you... You would die." "Is that a promise?" "Knock it off. You wouldn't survive because you are a heart patient. everytime the heart has a heart attack the heart is malformed. Any surgery from now on, could kill you." "I didn't think of it that way." "Well either did this entire hospital. But we have been waiting for you. Just for you to be ok." Quinton then said 'When I was out. My soul travelled to heaven. I saw my wife." Kari looking in confusion said "Your concious saw Jenifer?" "It did. It really did." "How did that go?" "I was ready to cross the bright white light. But she stopped me saying I wasn't ready. I still had things to do. Which she was right. I have one important thing I still need to do." Kari looking at Karl said "How much morphine did you give him?" Karl looking back at Kari said "None. We weened him off when he showed signs of improvement." Kari laughed as Quinton looked and said "I have to write a wrong." "You have to write a lot of wrongs."

Quinton Moves Again (Season 7 Ep 34)
"Now, Quinton. You know that this course of physiotherapy will be a lot tougher. And this time you need to put yourself into it." said the physio who wheeled Quinton into the physio rooms. "First. We get you up and walking." Quinton was wheeled over to the bars. Quinton then said "I was told I had a CPM machine hooked up to me?" "You did, for some strange reason. But you gotta understand this time Quinton, you are the patient. You will be the patient for as long as we/the doctors need to." Quinton was next to the bars as he grabbed the bar and forced himself out of the wheelchair. He placed his other arm on the other side and started walking weakly but walking. "Good.. Good. But don't push yourself Quinton." Quinton sighed heavily as he said "I've been in this position before. Yes I am the patient, yes its a long recovery.. Can you not talk to me like a child please. I may have had brain surgery, but I remember every single moment before I was hit by that car." as Quinton turned to face the physio. "I've been shot. I have had cancer. and I have had a heart attack before. This is a setback. But I can be strong." "Strong is a word overused. I'd call you an idiot. But you work in a hospital, we do idiotic things all the time. Quinton. You save lives for a living. You are the definition of crazy. You were the consumate professional." "Were?" "Yes were! Quinton. Understand this as long as you keep here to yourself you wont do anything else crazier then pushing a paramedic out of the way." Quinton didn't respond as he continued learning to walk again for another hour. "Quinton." Quinton looked at the physio and nodded, Quinton got back into the chair and said "Do i really need the chair?" "Quinton, this is a precaution. You were in a bad way. Its not a weakness, your body isnt up to the task of walking yet." Quinton rolled his eyes. The physio was taking Quinton back to his room when they went past a distressed woman's room. "Stop." "What?" "Gimme a minute?" The physio nodded as he stepped away. Quinton knocked on the door and the lady said "come in.." The lady was Dr Linda. "Linda? Are you ok?" Quinton wheeled himself in the room and placed himself next to Linda. "Quinton. I don't why this is happening.." Quinton held Linda's hand and said "What? Are you ok?" "No. Quinton I'm not. I've been audited. And I some stuff repoed." "Oh Honey.." "Karl was lucky. I wasn't." Linda showed Quinton her hand "I had to pawn my ring. Quinton I had to pawn a ring that had semtimental value to me. It was a family heirloom." Quinton looked up at Linda and said "I guess that puts me into perspective then." "What are you talking about?" "I heard sometime about it." Quinton reached for his pocket and gave Linda a box. "My ring? But Quinton.. Why?" Quinton then said "You and this entire hospital saved my life. I couldn't see someone lose something so valuable. Linda I donated money. I had some retirement money from the high school I worked at, I was saving it for a round-the-world trip. I decided to do something else. The money went to the hospital's Starlight Fund." "The Starlight Fund? Quinton that's so thoughtful! That fund saves thousands of lives each year." Quinton smiled as he said "There was half a million in my retirement fund." "Half...Half a mil? Quinton" "I put $250k to the fund. And it wont be a one off either. Linda what you didn't know about me was I played in the NOL before it was defunct a couple of years ago." "You played Oztag?" "I had my first contract in year 11. I earned $150k for one season alone. I had to give it up after 5 years of playing. That's where the money came from. I couldn't stand to look at it much longer." "What happened to your career in the NOL?" "Injury. Injury happened. My first season I broke both ankles. my last season it ended I tore my ACL." "Oh." "Linda. The ACL tear provided a lot of insight for me. I knew what my career would be after I left the NOL." "What?" "I went to the Snowy Region University of Medicine. Came out with a medical license and somehow a teaching degree." "But why did the ACL tear end your career?" "ACL tears in Oztag end careers. And i hated playing in the NOL. Was I happy when I heard they went bankrupt and shutdown operations. Every other team ended up in a different sport!" "if you hated playing it why do it for 5 years?" Quinton smiled as he remembered why. "It gave a lot of happier times. Linda, when I first started my medical days. I had people from the NOL coming in basically everyday. I was ending people's seasons faster then they started them. The NOL was bad at luring other people into the sport. The CEO was sued by half the games players in the end. Thats why they went bankrupt. We all got a payout of $500k each.." "How many players were playing in the NOL?" "Over 2000. This included another 1500 playing in TG cups and Youth comps." Quinton pointed to a scar on his arm. "This is from the NOL days. I scored a try and landed on a sprinkler head. It pissed me off they had it there. The NOL didnt care. Not about anyone. 5 years was enough for me. the ACL tear made it an easy decision to leave. I never wanted money to corrupt me. Never." Quinton hugged Linda as he said "That's why I got your ring back for you. No one deserves to have anything taken from them. Including freedom." Linda hugged Quinton back as she stood up. The physio walked into the room and said "Are you two done?" "You can go. I can make my own way back to my room." "Is that safe?" Linda nodded and said "If he doesnt do it no else will." "Alright then." The physio said as he left the room smiling. Quinton looked up at Linda and said "don't forget what I said. That Starlight Fund will keep on going strong." Linda smiled as she walked out of the room happy, Quinton followed in his chair."Speaking of freedom." Quinton grabbed the crutches that were sitting on the floor and said "It's time for mine." Quinton turned and faced Linda who helped him out of the chair. "Quinton.." "Please Linda. I had brain and heart surgery. I hate the idea of having to use a wheelchair to get around. Let the next person who cannot be moved have it. Its a waste on me." Linda passed Quinton the elbow crutches. Quinton started using them like a pro. Quinton used the crutches all the way to his room in ICU. Leo was watching as Quinton came back into the room. "You progessed so well in a week. But if you push yourself you could end up back here." "Shut up Leo." said Linda. Quinton smiled as he said "Progess is a state of mind."

Quinton Goes Back To Work (Season 7 ep 35)
Quinton was sitting in his office, he hadn't been cleared to work, but he wanted to get some paperwork done. Quinton had light music playing in the background as he heard a knock on the door. "Come in." as the door opened it was Karl, who sat down in the chair in front of Quinton's desk. "Don't give me that look Karl. I know I haven't been cleared for return. But I just wanted to get some work done. I needed to get out of that bloody bed." Karl said "You haven't been cleared because you know yourself to well. If something comes up out of the blue you push yourself to far. You had a heart attack at a MVA." "Karl.. Let me tell you something.. I remember every moment. Before and after the car hit me. Karl." Karl interested pulled his chair closer. "Tell me everything." Quinton looked down then looked up again. "Barry sat me down in the back of the ambulance, and it was looking out the front window and saw the car. I was in agony but I couldnt let that car hit him. I yelled out Barry to move, he didn't hear me so I pushed him out of the way. The car hit me at 40-50k an hour. I remember rolling off the windshield back onto the road, landing on my ribs. I struggled not to lift my head because I felt like I needed to." "You had a head injury. Why did you try and lift your head?" "I don't know Karl. You know what the body is like. I heard Barry, say 'grab a neck brace we have to stablise Quinton'... You know how that feels I was laying on my side so it was easy. When they put the brace on they rolled me onto the backboard I screamed because of my ribs. I screamed because my head was hurting." "That's why he sedated you." "I told him to. I hadn't I told him to I reckon I would've suffered a stroke!" "When we got your scan results you were god damn close. Quinton. You were touch and go, your ribs still didn't heal properly, they still haven't.." Quinton put his head to his knee's and said "I saw my wife, Karl. I was in limbo, life and death." "A lot of people see loved ones in limbo. What did she say?" "She said to me 'Quinton, you cant be here. Quinton you still have a lot to give.' and then she stroked my cheek." Quinton looked up with tears in his eyes. "Karl. When I was a teacher. I made a promise when we started working together, nothing would tear us apart. When she retired and took up book writing she foreshadowed her death somehow. One character was involved in a crash. A truck, a car and a trailer with a boat on it. 2 out of 3, a van instead of a trailer." "Quinton.. I didn't know she meant this much to you." "I gave my happiness a long time ago." wiping tears away Quinton said "I was on lunch duty, and because the school I worked at was next to the highway it was always a dangerous stretch of road. She was coming back from a book signing and was taken out by a truck the truck rolled over taking a van with it. Seeing it all unfold infront of you is heart breaking. The vechiles all landed on school property, and we had to get kids off the oval." Quinton couldn't finish the rest of the story. "I think you get what I'm getting at." Karl nodded as he said "She died?" "The truck that slammed into her killed her instantly. The road was slowed down to 65, and barriers were placed around the bit of road. Mate.. I was out of work for a month and a half. School proceedings were suspended, and alot of us had no income." "Isn't there a contingency for that?" "Not in an investigation theres not. Finances were suspended, and we got 3 weeks backpay. I got hardly any. I was on grievance leave, but I had money put away." Quinton looked up at Karl and said "I made a promise to myself. If I lost anymore family members, I would leave work as a whole and look after them. I never kept that promise. No else died. But I hated the way we were treated by the police. The commisoner told Roy to suspend pay, cut off work. Some of us had to work from home. And it was hard. Grieving and finding work for that month was hard. It hit everyone hard. The PE staff are all like family. Mainly because I was Kari and John's proxy for their daughter Kelly. Godfather he made me her godfather." "It's true what they say you know. Work somewhere long enough you do become family." Quinton smiled as he stood up and grabbed his crutches, before putting them down and grabbing a walking cane. Karl looking at Quinton as Quinton placed a file in his outbox. "Are you planning to return to work in pain? Quinton please." "Karl. I can no longer sit. My job is out there with the people." "I just need you to clear me." "Clear you? Quinton, you are in clear pain. Your ribs still havent healed. Its been 2 months." "Don't forget you plated my ribs. It takes up to 6 months for ribs to heal properly. Karl I know.." Karl sighed as the two stepped outside Quinton's office, to a nurse who said "I see someone is dressed for success." "He is not returning to work. I haven't cleared him." "Well you need to." "Why?" "They just brough one of our own. A paramedic." Quinton looked in disbelief. "What happened?" "Clear him Karl." "Why who is it?" "It's Barry." Quinton looked at the nurse and then back at Karl, he then rushed to go see Barry. Karl and the nurse standing there. "that's the fastest I've seen him move in months." Quinton got to Barry. "Barry!" "Dr Quinton, you're alive." Barry was lying in emergency in traction with a neck brace. "Barry of course. I'm a fighter." "Good to see you're up and moving." "What happened to you? Tell me." "I was with a mate of mine, horse racing. He put me on one and the horse got a fright and bucked me off. Kicked me in the back and I passed out. I cant remember the rest." Quinton took a look at the x-rays that were taken as a nurse looked on. "Dr Philips. Mr Rogers here has been in traction for 3 days now." "3 days? Why hasn't he been moved? Emergency is no place." "Dr Philips sit down. Let Mr Rogers explain. He is very ill now. Since you were in ICU, Dr Philips, Barry has had trouble with a kidney issue." Quinton put the x-rays down and sat on a chair. "Quinton, since the army I had to have a kidney operation. They botched it, badly. I've been nothing but sick for 15 years. When you pushed me out of the way, I landed on a rock and it tore the only muscle I had around the kidney." "Then why were you horse riding?" "Therapy. It helped alot but the horse bucked me off and I landed heavily on my neck and my bad side. I can feel everything normally. But I passed out due to the pain from my kidney." Quinton turned back to the file and he grabbed it and opened it. "There's nothing in there that doesn't surprise me anymore. They had no room in ICU and a ward isn't ready." "There is a room. My ICU room." Quinton said as he looked at Barry with Tears in his eyes. "Nurse. Take him to the room I was in. He deserves a bit of dignity at least." As Karl was watching from the end of the hall, he let out a sigh as he walked over to Quinton and Barry. "Dr Philips you are still a patient here. You haven't been released yet." Quinton turned to Karl and said "Make it happen. And Now. Nurse." The Nurse looked at Quinton as she nodded. "Quinton! Quinton!" Quinton ignored him as they started moving the bed. Karl rolled his eyes and rubbed his temples. "Why do I even bother sometimes." Karl said as he walked with the two. 5 minutes later Barry was settled into ICU.. Quinton was limping around with his cane. "Quinton, you're limping." said Barry. "You would to if you spent 2 months in ICU. I learnt how to walk again, eat again." "I know.." Quinton sitting on the chair next to him said and almost broke down as he read Barry's file again. "Barry, you had the whole kit and koododle. Barry... You have kidney cancer." "This is my 3rd relapse, the past two months have given me nothing but joy. I did everything on my bucket list Quinton. Everything." "Is that why you had botched kidney surgery?" "It was botched.. End of story." "Barry do have anyone we can contact? Family?" "Nah.. No one's left Quinton." Karl was looking on as he said "He's in renal failure Quinton. that with all his medical conditions. He doesn't have long left. His combined neck injury, the kidneys. Quinton it's simple he is.." "Going into organ failure." said Barry. "I was a medic as well in the army. I did everything I could in those days, not to ever be on that side of the table. It happened, it did and I have lived life. And I would do it all over again. I've been sick for a long time. When I close my eyes the next time I will be a peace, believe me." Quinton closed Barry's filed and put in on the table. Quinton looked at his oxgyen stats 80%. "Oxy is at 80." "Quinton. At ease. You are not my doctor at this very moment. You are one of my closest friends." Quinton smiled. The following 4 hours saw Barry decline his breathing laboured, and his kidney's shutting down completely. Quinton staying by his side. "People deserve. What life gives them. A kick up the arse. Life gave me those and I loved it. I can't drown in slience because I know people will be watching."said Barry. Barry struggling to breathe said his final words before stopping completely. "Quinton. You saved my life and so many other lives. Don't let my death get to you. Make sure you do the things you want. Make a few wrongs right again." Barry then died. "Time of death 18:43." said Karl as he turned off the monitors. Quinton got out of the chair and grabbed his cane. He hobbled to his office as Karl followed behind. Quinton opened the door and left it open. Karl walked in as he looked at Quinton. Quinton furious said "Karl. Right now I want you to clear me for return. It doesn't have to be surgical. It can be rounds, it can be anything!" "Quinton I cannot do that. You still aren't well enough for a return to medicine. Quinton you are limping, favouring one side. Quinton I cannot do that for your safety." Quinton at the top of his voice said "I cannot, sit in ICU for another day Karl. I cannot sit in that room, watching people who are worse than me, get their machines turned off. I cannot sit in ICU again Karl. I cannot be in an ICU bed, looking at the TV, Or the wall or the door or the roof! When I woke up from my coma I saw someone else's machine being turned off, is that fair?, i witnessed it everyday I spent in ICU. I am a doctor Karl! A trained medical doctor. I have patients, I have this hospital, I am a orthopaedic surgeon, who right now lost one of his closest friends to a botched kidney operation years ago. Karl I lost my wife, my son doesn't speak to me, I hurt one of my closest female friends, I have spent a number of years being the one walking in and out of ICU as a doctor, not the patient. It seems to be one thing I have done ever since I came here..I cannot wallow anymore Karl, I've seen close friends die, I pulled my wifes body out of a wreck, I tried to save a former teacher I worked with, We lost him Karl, I've broken my neck, i've torn mostly every muscle in my body!. My ribs may be hurting me, but my heart is in the right place. Please Karl, don't take the one thing I know how to do away from me. Without this job I am just a lonely man who struggles with alcohol. I cannot do one more moment in ICU. So please of course, think of my safety. " Quinton looked down at the ground and then back at Karl. Karl then walked over to Quinton and hugged him. "Fine. You get it this time. I will clear you.But it will be rounds and rounds only." "Thank you Karl." "I understand what you're going through you know." "I do Karl. But I need to get back to work." "Only if you get them ribs x-rayed. I want to see if you rebroke them.".. Quinton had his x-ray's and a ct scan taken of ribs. "Congrats, Quinton. You're the only person to somehow re-break ribs after we plated them. In which we removed the plated 3 weeks after." "Take it easy Quinton." said a breathing specialist. "If you fall on those ribs, you can send a piece of them into your lung. Other then your knee, which we scanned to shows a MCL tear. A small one, keep using the cane." Quinton smiled as he got up. He said "So I am on rounds. I can handle that as much as the next person." 20 mintues later Quinton was walking around the hospital when he bumped into Karl who said "Hey, you ready?" "Ready for what?" "An influx of patients. BVA. 20 injured, 10 coming here." 'Let's go." ==Quinton's Ribs aka Hospital High Alert (Season 7 ep 40)== Quinton was in his office for the first time in 2 months after being cleared by Karl for a return to work. As Quinton was doing his work he heard a knock at the door, and without saying anything this stranger entered the room and locked the door. This stranger also had a baseball bat. "Excuse me, what do you think you are doing in here?" "Touch the phone, and you will die. This time you will die." "Who are you? What do you want!" The stranger turned around and said "To kill you. I'm here to finish what I started." "Hold on.." Quinton had a flashback to the driver he saw strike him months ago. "You're the driver, who got pissed at the police holding up traffic. How did you know I worked here?" "I spent the best part of two months in hiding. They arrested my sister on charges." "Why her?" "It was her car. They arrested her." Quinton grabbed his cane and said "Fine do what you want to me, but if you do, you will die in jail. I hope you know that." Quinton sat on his desk and said "A paramedic died you know." "I know. I was aiming for him, but you pushed him out of the way." Holding the bat firmly in his hands the stranger said "Barry wasn't it." "Yes it was. He was an army paramedic, I just hope you knew that when you didn't see a bunch of ambulances at a crash site." "I thought they were doing RBT's i had no time." "So you chose to speed? And hurt many more people. You scumbag!" Quinton went to reach for the bat, but the stranger was ahead of him and struck him in his ribs. Quinton screamed in agony as he fell to the floor, taking his desk phone with him. Quinton quivering in pain grabbed his ribs and said "I had nothing to do with you being arrested..." "The name is.. Hillson." "Hillson, what are you a painting?" he hit Quinton again, this time in the leg. Quinton screaming again said "Please, what did I do to you..This hospital, if you go out there will be on high alert." "Enough talking." Hillson ripped off Quinton's tie and used it as a gag for him. "Get up." Quinton mumbling beneth the gag 'my ribs', "I'll break some more if you want me to, now get up." Quinton slowly got up and was grabbed by Hillson who dropped his bat on the ground and reached into his pocket, he pulled out a handgun. 'Jesus' mumbled Quinton. As Hillson unlocked the door he dragged Quinton with him to an old part of the hospital no one ever uses. Back in the main part of the hospital Karl was walking past Quinton's office when he noticed the door was open and the phone was on the floor. "Quinton, are you in there?" Karl looked around and went over to the door and looked in to see his cane, his pain meds and the phone on the floor. "Shit..." said Karl. As a nurse walked into Quinton's office. "Nurse, have you seen Quinton?" "No, I havent, why?" "I think he's in trouble. His pain meds are here and he's been using his cane for the last 2 months to get around with that MCL tear. If he hasn't got his pain meds, it'll get so bad he wont be able to breathe!" "Oh my.." Karl walking out the door "Inform to security we have a missing doctor, be on the lookout." the nurse nodded as she followed Karl to security. "Doctor Philips, you bore me you really do." Quinton looking at Hillson as he pulled down his gag, "I am a boring person.. I have nothing interesting from the last 2 months." "Oh sure. 2 months my dear man. I've read up on your life and career so far Mr Philips. You taught PDHPE in a town called Begs for 15 years. You practised at Begs South Hospital for 10 years before moving to the other hospital for 10 more, you were busy in Begs, you loved it there." "My wife..." "Your wife died in a crash. killed instantly when a truck collied with her. You haven't been the same since she died." "No mate I haven't. She was the love of my life." in the background there was a screech from the overcom. 'We have a code 443, missing patient/doctor, we are sending this out because this doctor needs pain medication for a rib injury. code 443, please be on alert.' "You are a code now." "I've always been a code. A code of idiot." said Quinton as Hillson chuckled as he put the gag back over Quinton's mouth. 'Time to shine. Move it!" Hillson hid inbetween doorways so he wouldn't get caught. '443, is still in effect.' screamed the intercom. "Where could he be? He cant get far.." said Karl. Quinton was struggling to breathe as Hillson kept shoving him around. Hillson wanted to be heard so he set off a warning shot in the stairwell. "Hey, did you here that?" "Sounded like a gunshot!" "That was a warning shot. Whoever this person is has Quinton." "What makes you so sure this person has Quinton," said policeman. "There was a bat in his office. He doesn't own a baseball bat. And he knows not to walk without using his cane. He is in some serious trouble. We have to find him." "Leave it to us. Get out of here." "We can't leave officer." "Why not?" "The building gets locked down when we report missing people. Front and back entrances are locked." "What about the stairwell?" "What about it? We don't use the stairwell. That only leads to the roof, what do you plan on doing on the roof? Jumping!?" "Good point."  another shot went off. "That one was close." "To close. Look get into a room and hide. We cannot have anymore casualites or missing people.", as another shot went off a nurse came past holding her shoulder. "Nurse are you ok?" said Karl. "Nah the prick got me." Karl looked at the wound and said "Lucky. In an out wound. bandage up and get it checked ok." "Yeah alright." "Was Quinton with him?." "I saw someone. gagged. looked pale, limping. He's hurt." "Where were they headed?" "I don't know. But my shoulder is hurting. I gotta run." as another shot hit the light generator as Karl said "Shit.. He's hit the main power. Whereever is maniac is, he needs to be stopped." with the backup power coming on. Hillson was in the stairwell when he dropped Quinton off at the bottom of the stairs before he said "Now.. We end it." Quinton looked up at Hillson who was standing at the top stairs. Hillson pointed the gun at Quinton and said "Goodnight. Mr Philips." just as Hillson was about to pull the trigger the stairwell door opened and Hillson fired at a security guard. The guard was hit in the arm but managed to grab the gun off Hillson. Hillson then grabbed the guard and threw him down to where Quinton was. "Did you hear that?" said Karl, "I heard it. It's close. But where?" Suddenly Linda ran to Karl and said "Karl, all the elevators aren't working, and the pass code needed for the emergency stairwell has gone haywire. We're trapped here." Karl thought about it for a minute. "The emergency stairwell. That's where you'd take someone if you want to hurt them." "Excuse me?" Karl said "Follow me. This scum bag is trying to use the emergency stairwell. Its the only place we haven't thought of so far."  Karl said as he grabbed a bunch of walkie-talkies. "Here, take these, when you have an update contact us. We need to know. Come on!" As Linda and many other doctors went with Karl, Quinton was still gagged and in pain, the guard next to him saying "Dr Quinton, hold on. They heard that shot, I know they did." Quinton looking at the guard and mumbling 'I can't breathe.. it's hurtin..' the guard looking at Hillson said "You hear that." "I head what he said. I don't care." as Hillson went down the stairs he grabbed his gun off the ground and grabbed Quinton around the throat and said "Move it." Quinton was heaviliy limping as the guard looked on. 'What are you going to do with the guard' Quinton mumbled again. "He's ok, we leave now." Hillson pushed Quinton in the door which lead to surgery. "Surgery? are you kidding. come on!.", back with Karl and Linda they were in the stairwell. "Hey look!" Karl and Linda saw the guard and radioed for help. "this is radio one in the stairwell, we haven't found Quinton, but we must be getting close. We have a security guard who needs attention." Linda looking over the guards injuries said "Where did the scumbag go?" "I don't know. But they used the 2nd exit. Linda, Quinton's hurtin. He struggling." "And what about you?" "GSW to my shoulder, I also got thrown down the stairs. But i'm ok. I'm concious and nothing is broken." "We'll see. The dude chucked you down stairs?" "I heard a commotion, I opened the door, he hit me with his gun and threw me down these stairs, I landed the way I was trained. I tucked in, I'm good.", as a group of doctors came and took the guard away he said "Get this guy. He's gonna kill Quinton. He's the brother of the sister who was arrested for running him over. His name is Hillson." "What is he a tree?" "A threat. He's dangerous. " Linda nodded as Karl went backup stairs. Linda followed. "Where does that 2nd exit go?" said Karl.. Linda snapped and said "Surgery. It goes to surgery. We need to go now.". As Hillson hid in a surgeons lounge he had Quinton with him. Hillson pulled down the gag and said "You don't look well." Quinton breathing heavily said "I was only cleared to return to work a few weeks ago. I spent 2 months in ICU, you'd look as well as me to!" "I know.. You told me." "It bears repeating." "You are a weak man." "Tell me, why were you after Barry? Why did you want Barry dead?" "Barry was an old friend on mine. We were in the army together.." "He never mentioned you." "Of course he didn't. He is the reason I was discharged from the army." "What and you hated him for it?" "For years.. Never forgave him. He botched my knee reco. I had to leave the army. I couldn't return a couple years later, when you were discharged you were discharaged. Those were the rules back in the day." "How did you know about the MVA? how did... you...know he was on call that day?" "I knew his idiosnycrasies. He would never take a day off." realising what he had done Hillson said "Oh...My...God.." Quinton standing up shaking said "Now you know why I pushed him out of the way. I couldn't let someone take an innocent life." as Quinton stepped his knee buckled and he grabbed the table to stop him from falling. "I have been there. Trust me...I...have been there. I have been on the opposite side of that table more times I can count. I have broken my neck, I have been diagnosed with cancer, I have had two heart attacks. What do you call that?" "A run of bad luck? I dont know.." "Look Hillson. I've been afraid for years, its okay you know." "No its not. I almost killed you.." Quinton nodded as he said "Before you re-gag me let me catch my breath. I haven't had any pain medication for 3 hours and my ribs are killing me. If you continue this mate. My lung could collapse.." Hillson walked back over to Quinton and re-gagged him and said "Move Dr Choking." Quinton limping toward the door. Hillson opened the door and pushed Quinton out the door, Quinton hit the floor using his hands to stop himself from landing on his face. Hillson stood behind Quinton and reached for his pocket. There was a heater next to were Quinton was lying. Hillson pulled out handcuffs and handcuffed Quinton to the bottom bit of the heater. Hillson crouched down to Quinton and said "Good luck.. Old friend." Quinton looking up at Hillson, Quinton lifted his injured leg and kicked Hillson so hard Hillson broke the window, he fell through it, landing in an operating room. Quinton screamed into the gag as his leg came back down quickly. Linda and Karl were searching floors when they heard the noise. "I know that noise.." "Glass. Downstairs." As Linda and Karl went downstairs, they finally saw Quinton. "Quinton! Oh my god.." Quinton looked at the two and used his head to point at where Hillson landed.  Linda taking to the radio said, "We've found Quinton. I repeat we have found Quinton. prep a bed in emergency, with oxygen. over." "Understood, sending a team for you now." As Linda went over to Quinton and took his gag off he said, "Thanks so much.", Linda snapped the cuffs off of Quinton's arm and said "Count for me.." "I'm not concussed.." "Just count." Quinton counted to 10, as Karl was with security helping arrest Hillson. As Karl and security pushed Hillson out. Linda helped Quinton get up. "We'll re-scan those ribs and that knee." Quinton nodded as he said "No one should go through that. No one." "They really shouldn't." As a group of nurses arrived with a bed, they helped Quniton onto it with Linda putting an oxygen mask on Quinton's face. "Take him to get scans. EKG, ribs and knee. Also check lungs." Quinton rolled his eyes as Linda said "Collapsed or not check." Linda turned to Karl who still had Hillson with him. Linda slapped Hillson across the face as the police came and took him away. As The hospital went off high alert, people were now moving freely. Karl and Linda went back to the ER where Quinton was lying in bed with an oxygen mask on his face. "Dr Karl, Dr Linda, the x-rays you wanted." said a nurse. "Thank you.", Quinton looked at both of them as Karl and Linda looked at the scans. "Chest is clear. No new rib injury. But the scans here show cartlidge damage." Linda was reading the EKG, "EKG is clear. No damage to the heart." Another doctor saying "The MCL injury is still a high grade one. But no other damage to the leg.." Quinton put his head back to the pillow as his leg was elevated.  "Dr Linda, would you expect more from a baseball bat?" "I would but right now, its lucky this one is alive. Had Quinton not kicked Hillson into the surgery room window, he would be dead." Quinton mumbling under the mask "Has he been charged?" "No he hasn't after they arrested him, Hillson shot himself with a police gun." said Karl, "I just recieved that call. His sister has been released without charge."  "Coward should've at least faced his crimes in court." said Linda. Quinton taking off the oxygen mask said "He was never going to face up to anything. His plan was to kill his bestfriend." "What?" "He and Barry were in the army. Barry botched an operation, and Hillson got discharged. He knew the MVA site was where Barry was going to be." "How, Medics are dispatched randomly." "Not for huge accidents they're not." said Linda "They all go as one. It's how it goes." Quinton was having his leg put in a knee brace when he said "Hillson was nothing but a scumbag. He had it coming to him. He realised I saved his friend, he was going to kill me instead. He pointed a gun at my head, he shot 2 nurses and a security guard. That's enough for one day.." Karl then gave Quinton a looked as Linda held out Quinton's cane. "Here you might need this.." "Thank you Linda." "Are you sure your ok Quinton?" "Now that my oxy stats are above 90 yes I am feeling much better." Quinton got off the bed and his knee gave out again. Karl helped Quinton back onto the bed and said "Let me see that knee of yours.. How many times has it done that Quinton?" "Today.. Twice." as Karl took off the brace on Quinton's knee, Linda had another look at the x-rays.and said "You've broken your leg.." "I've done what.." "You broken your fibula. He broke your leg with a baseball bat." Karl looked at the leg and felt the lump, "Right there." Quinton grunted as he said "My knee is fine." "Besides a high grade 1 medial ligament injury, you are lucky today." Karl put the brace back on Quinton's leg as Linda got a wheelchair and said "Let me take you home." "Please. I'm done with today."

A Music Episode- (Season 7 Ep 45)
"Alright that can go over there. And that there" said Linda as they were setting up for the musical to fundraise the hospital. "It's taken 4 years to get done but this is finally happening. Time to fundraise. And this musicial will be the best thing for the hospital.." said Karl. "And we have someone else, who is here for the musical." Karl and everyone else turned around to see Quinton on crutches. "Quinton, what happened to the cane?" Quinton said "I had minor surgery. I had my fibula repaired 3 days ago." "But it was a minor fracture..." "Oh that and the high grade 2 MCL tear." Karl looked and said "We cleared you of injury.. You were ok that day." "Feeling ok not being ok." "I had a 2nd opinion and the MCL and fibular injury were to much to ignore so I went under the knife and got them repaired." "MCLs heal if they are left alone and if you don't walk on them.. Quinton.." said Linda snidely."As I was saying.. We have someone very special for this event, she's outside.." Quinton then said "You can come in Angela." Karl looked at Quinton and said "Angela?" Linda looked at Quinton as well. as Quinton went over to the door and opened it. Angela walked in and said "Yes Angela." Linda's mouth dropped and Karl looked in disbelief. "Lansbury, you got Angela Lansbury? How!?" said Linda. Angela responded with "I love these types of events and found out through an old friend." just as Ange said that Terese walked in and went over to the stage without noticing. "Oh please..." said Quinton. Terese looked up and said "Ange welcome." Terese and Ange then hugged. "You two can't be 'old friends' I refuse to believe that." said Linda. "We did a tour together in New York when Terese was apart of some singing shows. Pity you didn't end up staying on, the show only last another 4 shows." "Ah you know.. Scummy ex-husbands.." Ange nodded as she came up with an idea. "I have an idea. I know Bea is in town somewhere, if you give me 10 minutes, I will try to have her here tonight." Quinton rolling his eyes said "Oh please. If she's in Sebour, its obvious she's singing at the orient theatre." Terese pulling in a snide comment to Quinton, "Shut up Quinton." "What? It's the truth. First love is always broadway.." Terese making another snide comment said "I planned on singing tonight. But I have something else to do.." Terese walked out the door with a smirk on her face. Karl looking at Quinton with a mad grin. "What?", Ange was outside the door when Terese walked out. Ange took no notice as she walked back into the hall. "And?" said Quinton. "She's on her way here. Eat your words." Quinton scoffed and said "I refuse to believe you got a two-time emmy and tony winner to sing for us tonight.." as the door opened a voice boomed saying.. "Believe or not. I am here." Quinton turned around as he dropped his crutches. "And..I am going to bring the house down." it was Bea. "Quinton, pick up your crutches before you fall over.." said Karl. Quinton struggled to pick up his crutches as Bea walked over to him. Quinton stuttering said "I-I-I didn't mean any of that." "Of course. But you are right. A singers original place is on broadway." Karl then saying "I think Quinton, is crapping bricks." Quinton turning to Karl saying "I'm 5'3, Karl..this is intimidating!" Quinton backed off and said "I understand that getting off on the wrong foot is bad. I apologise for that." "None taken." Quinton went over to the podium and said "Terese was supposed to sing Fifty Percent, but I don't think she'll be coming back tonight." The door opened again and Terese walked back in "That's where you are wrong." Quinton then said "I've had enough of today.. Alright. Listen up, only saying this once. Karl and Kari will do a song then it will go to Ange as MC, then I come on sing a song, introduce Ange and Bea, then Terese comes out and belts her tune. We don't have an ending though.." Bea suggested "May I suggest, No business like show business? Always a showstopper." Quinton sighed and said "Yes. Of course. Now get ready everyone, we open in 4 hours, get the voices stiring and ready, make it emotional. I'm going to put my suit on." 4 hours later people were arriving and the final acts were set. Quinton walked over to the podium and started to talk. "Excuse me everybody if I could have your attention." everyone went quiet. "Thank you for coming tonight. Tonight is a charity event for the Sebour Hospital Cardiac Unit. And tonight we have a line up like nothing this town has ever seen. So please dig deep as we welcome to the stage two tony award winning actresses. Bea Arthur and Angela Lansbury!" as the stage curtain came up to show the two. The crowd started clapping as the two started singing their number known as 'Bosom Buddies', as the song ended the two bowed and walked off the stage. Quinton appeared again after the song ended. "That's what you call an enterance. Now as everyone knows how well these ladies can sing, they both worked on broadway, that is why I am handing over the mic to Ms Lansbury." Quinton talked some more before he stepped down. Over the course of the night, Kari, Karl, Bea, Linda, Paul and Ange sung. Quinton took to the stage and said "We have one more song before our big number. Please welcome to the stage, Terese!" Terese walked up to the microphone and said "This song I always sung when I was at home in New York, it was one of my favourites, And tonight I perform it in front of my peers and friends, here goes nothing.." Terese started to sing and as she got to the chorus. "I'd rather have fifty percent of him, than all of anybody else." people were clapping as her voice rose to the last lines. "Though you don't plan to fall in love... (holding the word love for 10 seconds) when you fall you fall (holding it for another 10 and rolling the 'L). Terese raised her arms above her head into an x shape and thrusted her arms forward with the last words of the song "than all of anybody at all! (holding the word 'all' for 15 seconds). Terese smiled to a standing ovation from the crowd and from Quinton, who was standing there clapping gobsmacked. Terese walked over to Quinton and said "close your mouth, you're attracting flies." Quinton closed his mouth as Terese went up to the podium and said "Thank you for listening to that everyone. Before we go on to our final number for the night, I just recieved word from our sponors for tonight that we have raised over $70,000 for this cardiac unit! that is a great effort!", Terese then said "This town town gather spirits when it is needed so that is why our last number, needs a little crowd invovlement. You know this one folks!" Terese turned as the curtain lifted to Ange and Bea with other members standing up the back, Quinton had dropped his crutches to join the line. "There's not business like show business" started playing and everyone was getting invovled, however Quinton was struggling to keep up as he got hit in the ribs and he rolled himself off the stage and to a medic on the side. As the song ended, everyone getting their breath.. Quinton walked over to the mic and said "Thank you everyone for coming tonight. We hope you had a good night watching the singing and the acts. And we like to thank Bea and Angela for taking time out of their schedules to be here tonight. Thank you." as people started to leave, Bea came over to Quinton and said "That Terese sure has a good voice. Don't let her go." Quinton turned to face Bea and said "I let her go for a reason Ms Arthur. I was a scum bag boyfriend. And I have never forgiven myself. I wont pretend I spent half a year in a facility for alcoholics, because I did. I hurt that woman, and right now she is happy without me in her life. I mean did her you hear how she belted out that song? I mean wow.." Quinton turned away as Bea said "Don't give up on your dream either. You have a good voice." Quinton started to walk away. "I am a doctor, nothing more. I can't be anything else." Quinton limped and picked up his crutches, he went over to Terese and said "You did good tonight. Don't forget that." Terese smiled as she watched Quinton leave. Terese turned to see Bea staring in wonder. "How long has he been limping?" "For months now. But assuming he was run over a couple of months ago, I wouldnt be surprised that he didn't lose his singing voice.." as Terese walked over to Karl and Kari,  Bea moved to talk to Ange.

Quinton's Apology Refused-(Season 8 Ep 37)
Quinton was walking to Terese's house thinking of what he was going to say, the last time he was there he was arrested. Quinton saw looks coming from the neighbours, and they weren't good looks it was quiet. Mark gave Quinton the eye, and Quinton knocked on the door. Terese opened the door and said "Quinton.. Come in." Quinton walked in and said "Terese. I still haven't apologised for what I did years ago. I wrote a letter but to me that is nothing." "Well the concussion was a thing you can't forget. Quinton we still talk." "Yes, but not as friends Terese. We speak like strangers." Terese sat next to the bar stool on the lounge. "Quinton. I tried telling you a story. 2 years ago, I almost died here Quinton. Had the carpet not have been there, I would've fractured my skull and died, I spent three days in hospital Quinton. I watched you walk into the hospital board room. I watched you get thrown out of the very hospital you swore an oath to. Quinton you hurt a lot more than me and your pride. You hurt a town and a hospital. People for two years Quinton have been saying they are so close to changing doctors its not funny. They stay with you because you know what you are doing." Quinton sighed as he sat down next to Terese and held her hand, Terese pulled her hand away and Quinton said "I know I will never have your trust again Terese, but just to know you don't hate me, please let me apologise." Terese said "How about your listen to the story I told you two years ago Quinton then I will listen to yours." Quinton nodded as Terese stood up and walked over to the kitchen sink to get a glass of water. Terese started with "Back in 1972, I was married for 5 years and lived I in the states in New York, I lived with an alcoholic, and one time he got violent Quinton, he slapped me with a lot less power then you did and it made me scared he'd do it again. But I decided to stay with him because I thought I could get him some help. he refused to listen to it Quinton, after a month of being scared, I decided to divorce him. Part of my work Quinton, had me leave New York and come to Sebour. Quinton I didn't want to be scared again, and that night I was scared out of my mind. I thought I would die. Do you know what that is like? To be in a violent situation like that?" Quinton stood up and said "Terese. I am so sorry." Terese took a sip of water and continued. "Quinton I will never ever forgive you. And that is a promise. I know it was hard. But you need to grow up Quinton. You have a girlfriend, I have my job, worked tooth and nail to get where I was finally happy to be working those long hours.. You need to wake up and smell the coffee Quinton, because I can't be friends with someone who walks from a situation you can control. You can control how much you drink, you can control everything you do. YOU CAN CONTROL your emotions. That night was one of the worst nights of my life. And this time." Quinton looked and said "What?" "This time I get to say goodbye." Terese opened the door and the screen. "This time Quinton. It is goodbye. Our relationship is over. Our friendship is done Quinton. Goodbye." Quinton walked out the door and said "You're a strong woman Terese. Don't give up on that Broadway dream either." "Goodbye Quinton." "Terese.." "Goodbye Quinton." As Terese shut the door. Terese walked back over to the sink and put her hands on the bench. As a single tear rolled down her cheek, she knew she made the right decision.

Quinton was sitting in his office when Kari knocked on the door and Quinton said "come in." Kari opened the door and sat on the chair in front of Quinton's desk. "Kari. Can I help you? Are you alright?" "I am fine but I wanted to have a regular check up." Quinton put the laptop screen he was using down and said "Alright on the bed." Quinton stood up as Kari sat down on the bed and Quinton started the exam. "You've got loose tendon here Kari. Nothing to be worried about, but since you've had major surgery on it. Have you had any trouble with it since?" "No trouble." Quinton then did something else and Kari let out a little grunt and Quinton said "The grinding is normal after surgery that you had. You keep busy so the muscles are still strong. Lay up for me." Quinton and Kari's eyes met and the two shared a kiss. "Quinton.." "Lets go on a date.." "ok where?" "To a restaurant you know. Wine maybe a little dancing." Quinton said as he helped Kari off the bed and said "tonight at 6." Kari smiled as she left the room. Quinton smiling to himself and calling his secretary. "Susie. cancel the rest of today for me thanks." Susie said through the phone. "Quinton has a dateeeeeeeee." as Quinton hung-up and walked out of his office and back home to get ready. Quinton was ready at 5:00 and he picked Kari up at 5:30. "Quinton. you're early." "This is for you my darling."

"They look together and they look good." a crowd watched the two dance. 3 hours later Quinton and Kari stopped dancing and Kari sat down.
