how long is nick around for?

Oh Lord - please say it isn't so...

I know you have to suspend belief when watching Neighbours and that's why we love it but this story line is totally unrealistic. If nothing else pumping a healthy person with poison, which chemotherapy effectively is, would surely finish them off quite quickly. Also regardless of patient confidentiality, surely hospitals would want to keep a track of their drugs and facilities so how is Nick able to access the chemo and drugs without raising questions?

Whenever this story ends, I hope Nick gets the appropriate and realistic punishment which would be being struck off the medical register and face criminal charges not escaping to South America or being killed off.

Disease such serious as this always gets a chance of a second opinion, considering this patient is in a small pace and not in a major teaching hospital; the test for leukamia is not simply a simple blood test. No hospital specialist can allocate a room for a patient witthout the IT system having a trail of evidence and a referral from a family doctor;

That's crap. How does Paul not get a second opinion from someone? Like, if I had cancer I'd make sure that I got a 2nd opinion. It's the logical thing to do. I can see how it drags on though. I'm guessing that if it drags on, then the cancer centre opens and he still treats him there with his 'experimental drugs' and after a while continue the lie by saying that he is cured, but before that happens, someone (hopefully Georgia) figures out he is phony.

That`s my main bone of contention too. With Pauls money and prestige - he can easily afford it.

[Perdita]

I can imagine that Paul (and others in real life) would go into shock about the news and getting a second opinion just does not enter his (their) mind. As a speedy treatment is of benefit to go into remission, this could also then make patients be grateful to receive the treatment without seeing another doctor first.

Or Karl where is he now?

[Perdita]

Karl is coming to Paul's rescue

[TaintedLove]

I never thought I`d ever say this but.... I feel quite sorry for Terese when she finds out her brother is nothing but a liar and a fraud. While Nick goes off to jail, she`ll still have to suffer the consequences in the aftermath. And the guilt she will feel for what her brother did to her boss paul will last for a long time.
I hope Paul won`t be vindictive enough to fire Terese though, It`s not her fault Nick a lying con artist.
Nick is one of the best baddies in Neighbours for a long time....not to mention gorgeous too.
