Doctor (Episode 7212)

The unnamed Doctor conducted a home visit with Roy Cropper shortly after his near-death encounter with Tony Gordon in November 2009.

Unable to get a restful night following his ordeal at the canalside, the doctor conducted a thorough examination and recommended that he took a short course of sleeping tablets. Initially concerned by the fear of dependency, the doctor reassured Roy that a five-day course would do him no harm and advised him to collect the prescription regardless - putting his mind at rest in the knowledge that the medication would be on hand if required.
