Storyline

When John Harris's daughter is badly injured in an boating accident, the hospital tells him that she will need an urgent blood transfusion.

When the inquest clears Harris of all blame, the doctor in charge of the case tries to get the police to press manslaughter charges against Harris. Written by mike.wilson6@btinternet.com
