Shortland Street - Tuesday Warner's birth

On a dark and stormy night in Ferndale a baby is born...just not on a bed. This excerpt from Shortland Street features a dramatic birth and a clash of cultures. Paramedic Rangi (Blair Strang) confronts Grace Kwan (Lynette Forday) and senior doctors about an autopsy on a young Māori patient who died during a drug trial. Frustrated by their lack of cultural sensitivity he takes action. Out on the wind-lashed harbour the ferry Toroa has sprung a major leak — perfect timing for Carmen (Theresa Healey) to enter the last, sweaty throes of labour. Luckily Rebecca (Luisa Burgess) knows what to do.
