Dr Roper was on duty at Weatherfield General when Tyrone Dobbs was brought in by ambulance. He had fallen through an unsafe ceiling at 9 Coronation Street when thin plasterboards had been unwittingly fitted by Jason Grimshaw. The Doctor told an anxious Fiz Stape that x-rays has been done on her partner which showed he had a broken wrist which needed to be operated on, two broken ribs and lung contusions but aside from that he was a lucky man considering the fall he had had.
