Malpractice on Hulu
Malpractice on Hulu – Anthology series about investigations into the decisions made by doctors in fatal cases.
A critical overdose case has arrived in the accident & emergency department at West Yorkshire Royal Hospital, and Lucinda is the senior doctor in charge, as Dr. Leo Harris (James Purefoy), her superior and mentor, had to leave his shift early.
But just as Lucinda begins to treat the opioid patient, assisted by junior doctor Ramya Morgan (Priyanka Patel), the A&E is plunged into chaos.
A man, covered in blood and waving around a pistol, has brought a wounded boy through the lobby doors. Luce goes right at the guy, faces down the gun, and explains she’s here to help.
All the trauma bays are packed on this busy night at the hospital, and Dr. Edwards is presented with a quandary.
Which patient does she move to another level so she can free up a bed for the gunshot victim?
With Morgan and Nurse Beth Relph (Hannah Walters) clamoring for her decision, Lucinda decides to stay with the boy while she dictates instructions to Ramya.
800 micrograms of naloxone, repeated until the opioid patient’s breathing stabilizes.
But while she manages to save the boy who was shot, the woman with the overdose doesn’t make it.
Storyline for Malpractice on Hulu
Dr Lucinda Edwards (Niamh Algar) is a smart, battle-hardened doctor.
We meet her on a nightmare shift that ends in the death of an opioid overdose victim, Edith Owusu.
Despite the support of her medical supervisor, Dr Leo Harris, played by James Purefoy, Edith’s grieving father Sir Anthony Owusu, played by Brian Bovell (Crime, Strike), demands an enquiry into Lucinda’s actions on the fateful night.
Leading the medical investigation are Dr Norma Callahan played by Helen Behan (Holding, The Virtues) and Lucinda’s former colleague, Dr George Adjei, played by Jordan Kouamé (Megalomania).
While George feels this was an unavoidable tragedy, Norma is suspicious of Lucinda’s behaviour and decisions in the lead up to Edith’s death.
As the pressure of the investigation intensifies, Lucinda’s relationship with husband Tom, played by Lorne MacFadyen (Pistol, Vigil) starts to fracture, and her confident professional exterior begins to crack.
