MAL: Alright, I'm listening.
KARL: Vince came to see me just before he left on a trekking holiday. So I gave him all the standard shots. He also asked me for supplies for what he called his survival kit. He knew the conditions were rough in the Himalayas, and obviously he didn't want to get caught halfway up a mountain with some stomach bug, so I gave him some mild medication just in case. He'd obviously given this trip a lot of thought. Now, I asked him if he wanted a thorough physical. He assured me he was fit and well - he certainly looked strong and healthy - so I had no reason to doubt him.
MAL: Then, what happened?
KARL: I'm not sure. We got word that he'd collapsed on a hike. Before help could get to him, he died. Now, from all reports he suffered from a severe myocardial infaction. This is a massive heart attack.
MAL: Vince wasn't the type to get a heart attack!
SUSAN: You don't have to be old and fat, Malcolm. He could have had a weakness all his life, been born with it.
MAL: So why didn't you pick it?
KARL: He never presented with any symptoms of heart disease. Alright, if I had insisted on a full check- up I might have discovered a problem, but on the other hand, I might not have.
SUSAN: You did everything that a reasonable person would have.
KARL: I'd like to think so. He's still dead, though, isn't he?! Now, to some extent I blame myself, and so do a lot of other people.
LIBBY: It's not your fault, Dad.
KARL: When word got back, his family were obviously very distraught, and they were also very angry. I mean, after all, I had seen Vince just a week before he hopped on a plane. So the stories started, the practice suffered, Jack Turnbull panicked. So I offered to sell my half of the practice and move out. He didn't try to stop me. I think he was relieved. Things gathered momentum and moving seemed to be the best option.
BILLY: You could have stayed and defended yourself.
KARL: No, a country doctor's practice is built on trust. Once you lose that...
LIBBY: You should have told us, Dad.
KARL: Yeah, you're right. I should have. I'm sorry.

A silence descends over them.

Mark is looking for some dance music for the next Youth Disco - it's a way for him to get involved with the parish. Ren thinks it sounds daggy, but Mark protests that the church isn't just a bunch of men in funny frocks. She thinks institutionalised religions are headquarters for negative energy.

PHIL: Sweetheart...there comes a time in your life...and you're at that time...when boys...well, your feelings start to change. And that's a perfectly natural part of growing up.

Hannah just looks at him.

PHIL: What I'm trying to say is...
HANNAH: Dad, are you talking about sex?
PHIL: No...no... yeah, sort of.
HANNAH: Well, what do you want to know?
PHIL: I don't want to know anything, I just wondered if *you* wanted to know anything.
HANNAH: No, not really, I'm not in a hurry or anything.
PHIL: Good, good...that's very good. but I do want you to know if there's ever anything you want to talk about, you can come to me.
HANNAH: OK. So, I can I go to the dance?
PHIL: The dance? Yeah...er...I guess so!
HANNAH: Thanks, Dad! You're the best!

No.24
