Stevie is worried that Matthew may not be in fit to treat patients – but he bluntly tells her to mind her own business.
She later discovers Matthew’s notebook which leaves her further concerned, but she’s forced to put her concerns aside when a serious case comes in.
Despite his own health worries, Matthew continues to see patients including Curtis who has glass in his hand and Michelle who has a laceration to the throat.
Michelle’s wound triggers Matthew’s PTSD, and he tries to hide how much it is affecting him.
Stevie is later shocked to hear that Matthew used a field medicine technique to stabilise Michelle and tries to persuade Rash to keep an eye on him.
But Rash defends Matthew and says he’s so diligent that he even keeps a record of every patient he’s lost in his notebook.
A shocked Stevie confronts Matthew and accuses him of treating the ED like a warzone – showing him his notebook.
