This is the second episode of the TV series "Doc Martin" and it picks up from the last show. Here, Dr. Ellington is trying to start up his practice and problems still abound. He's got messy plumbing, patients only make appointments to chat and Elaine continues to be the worst receptionist in the world. In fact, she's so awful that Ellington fires her--which is not the least bit surprising. But the community's reaction is--and they all start boycotting the practice. What's he to do? Mr. Fenn is one of the few patients he does have and it looks as if the guy might have throat cancer! Additionally, the doctor finally talks about his weird psychological disorder--hemophobia.
While the show is still trying to catch its stride, this one was very entertaining--particularly when the same mutt kept following the disagreeable doctor.
