The episode was very emotional and kept me in suspense for the entire 45 minutes.I'm not a doctor, but it wouldn't be better to have a caesarean section right away, since a seizure could happen at any moment, everything went downhill when the baby's shoulder got stuck, maybe it was during this period that placental abruption occurred, and there was no time to check, since it was necessary to save the baby.It could have been different, but alas(( It's also generic, not getting through, not getting through ((
Poor Dr. Green, his super personal responsibility played a cruel trick on him. After working his shift, he actually worked another one, plus the situation at home + the "blockage" in the obstetric department. One thing overlapped and everything went to hell. Of course, it was easy for the head of the obstetric department to see the "clot in the picture" later, when she already knew what to look for and where to look, but for Dr. Green, after an unsuccessful attempt to use forceps + when she saw "2 liters of blood" and a detached placenta, he was confused about what he honestly said, but he brought it anyway. He fought for his life to the end. And he blamed himself the most. It's good that Carter encouraged him, that "you're a hero to me," Carter is a man! And the fact that there was no free space in the obstetric room all this time and there were no doctors available is NOT Dr. Green's fault, he did everything he could and, perhaps, even more than anyone else in his place could have done.
@Когнир: such episodes usually reveal the character's character so that the viewer understands more about what he is capable of and is not capable of. In further stories, we immediately understand how someone will behave.
The series is emotionally difficult. As booker said, she revealed new character traits of Dr. Green. Of course, it is a pity that such a burden has fallen on his shoulders. One of the favorite characters in the series, always professionally suited to his work. Unfortunately, it played a bad joke on him that he wanted to finish the job himself, without waiting for the help of professionals to atone for the late diagnosis of preeclampsia. The detachment began even before labor was stimulated, and there was a blood clot on the ultrasound, a sign of its onset. But due to his lack of experience, he was unable to recognize her. If I were him, I would have had a caesarean section right away. In our hospitals, even for minor indications, they try to do it, since the risk of complications in normal childbirth is quite high.
It's easy to talk : If I were him, I would have done things differently. It turned out how it turned out. No one is immune from mistakes. Even the best doctors. They're human too.

I can't imagine how hard it was for Mark to gather all his remaining strength and go to this woman's husband 😭
