There's a lot of things..

She had a bad childhood with her father being an alcoholic, and her brother going to prison.

Throughout her time in Casualty, she's made a string of mistakes with patients.. one ended up paralysed if I remember rightly, she blamed a nurse (can't remember her name, but she left).

Said mistakes, and her lack of personal life with a boyfriend, lead to her attempting to commit suicide.

Her relationship with Jay crumbled after she had an abortion. Her husband turned out to be gay.


All of this would lead to anyone having a breakdown.

Wasn't it May who paralysed the patient and blamed Yuki?

No she injured someone years ago and blamed a nurse and the nurse knew it was Ruth who did it but she took the blame cause she was wanting to quit and Tess was going to fire her.

ETA: She was called Nadia according to Wiki.

Why is Charlie working in the Mental Health Unit, I thought he worked in A&E?

Shows how much I've been watching Casualty lately
I've been trying to get back into watching it again

When Charlie uncovered the truth about Edward and tried to help Ruth, she lashed out at him and sent him over to the psych unit to work.

Ironically Ruth had him transfered. Kinda another reason she is detested by her co-workers.

He did but then Ruth moved him over there when she was in charge, something along those lines.

She told Nadia to remove the neck brace the patient was in, when it really shouldn't have been. And then blamed Nadia after she deteriorated by saying she'd told Nadia NOT to remove it.

Ty for reminding me it was Nadia.. i always think of her as Daisha from Holby City for some reason.. ha.
