    It started with a phone call, sent by the whistle blower I had intended you to meet. I wanted to wrap series one of The Nurse with a neat bow, ending it the way it began. But life is messy and things aren't black and white, so this isn't the episode I intended to write. Maybe one day we will meet them, but for now, it is enough that they told me one summer night and triggered all that has happened since. Like a Commission of Inquiry...
