This film is a drama set in an accident and emergency department. Lucy is a woman with Down’s syndrome who is resisting treatment for a dog bite. She is with her mother when the nurse comes to assess her. The nurse does not communicate well with Lucy. She is doing a pressurised job, but this cannot excuse her behaviour towards Lucy. The nurse also makes a common mistake of believing she can’t provide treatment which goes against her patient’s wishes. It is Lucy’s mother who explains that where a person lacks capacity to make a decision about treatment, the decision must be made in the person’s best interests. Lucy is given a tetanus injection using a limited amount of restraint. NB This film is no longer available to view.
