In this gripping episode of Casualty, Dr. Dylan Keogh finds himself treading a treacherous path as he uncovers troubling secrets buried within the hospital’s history. The story begins with Dylan revisiting old medical cases for the hospital journal, only to stumble upon a disturbing link between a series of patient deaths and a retired consultant – a figure he once admired deeply. Initially dismissing his suspicions as paranoia, Dylan’s curiosity pushes him to dig deeper into the records, revealing a pattern of suspicious prescriptions, misdiagnosed charts, and hidden reports that suggest something far more sinister.
As he pieces together more evidence, the chilling realization dawns that his former mentor might have been intentionally concealing fatal mistakes—possibly to protect a reputation or for darker reasons. Each discovery forces Dylan to confront his own admiration for the retired consultant, challenging his sense of trust and integrity. The stakes become even higher when he considers the implications of exposing these secrets.
