Iain Dean Confronts the Dark Side of the ED: Tampered Medication and Personal Struggles

The tension inside Holby ED grows as paramedic Iain Dean is forced to confront a deeply unsettling discovery. The ongoing investigation into tampered medication takes a personal turn when Iain learns of Teddy’s involvement in stealing heart medication from a deceased patient.
