Summary

More from the medical negligence thriller, with Tom Hughes starring as a psychiatric registrar being quizzed about a patient-related tragedy.

Episode 5: Episode 5

Summary

With more questions than answers, the MIU is running out of time to piece together the truth. In the wake of a shocking death, Ford and the MIU discover witnesses who are unwilling to speak on record as well as hints of a wider conspiracy that leads far beyond the failing psychiatric unit. Meanwhile, Ford desperately attempts to gain an ally to fight alongside him

Review

David Brown

Medical thrillers generally conform to type, and Malpractice has been no exception. There’s been a conspiracy, the cover-up, doctors in suits whose actions are deadly, and lowlier medics in scrubs being silenced by their superiors. Oh, and naturally, the hero who’s fighting a rotten system.

In the 1970s, that was Geneviève Bujold in Coma. In the 1990s, we had Hugh Grant in the underrated Extreme Measures (seek it out; the late Gene Hackman is terrific as the villain). And here, it’s actor Tom Hughes, whose alter ego Dr James Ford is attempting to take back control after finding himself the victim of a frame-up. Help is potentially coming in the form of the MIU, but they sorely need a whistle- blower willing to speak out.
