A complaint is filed against the Doc!
planktonrules31 May 2019
The major story in this episode is an annual boat race. It seems one of the rowers needs the doctor's help but things turn out very badly. She warns him that she is afraid of needles and in her panic, she hurts herself. With her lying on the floor bleeding, the Doc's hemophobia kicks in...and he faints. Little does he realize that this annoying patient (who simply won't follow his instructions) will end up causing all sorts of trouble. Other problems are a man whjo behaves like he's intoxicated when he's had nothing to drink and Bert, who has gout. Additionally, Louisa is still struggling with whether or not to continue working.

This is a very good episode. I should point out that although the patient is a terrible patient, Doc Martin was also to blame as well. See the show...see what I mean. Well written and interesting.

Unforeseen Complications

Warning: Spoilers
Port Wenn is involved each year in a rowing race. It involves the usual festivities around such an event in a small town. A neighboring village has owned the event and has an arrogant woman as its chief athlete and organizer. A growth on her leg causes her to go to Doc Martin for treatment. The treatment involves removing fluid using a syringe. She cannot tolerate a syringe and she panics, hits her head, and begins to bleed. Unfortunately, Martin's hemophobia kicks in and he passes out from the blood she produces. She has revenge in her mind because of Martin's unwillingness to find another method to treat her growth. She is a lawyer and brings action against Martin. He is relieved of his duties until a hearing can take place. The interesting thing is that his treatment was appropriate and he is later called in to save her life during the race. But she is vindictive.
