Episode 1
An ambulance crew in Aberdeen attend an electric scooter crash, a bariatric patient with breathing difficulties, and a man who has been drinking 70 per cent homemade vodka.
Documentary series following the frontline workers of the Scottish Ambulance Service.
In this episode, we are with Rachel and Scott, paramedics in Aberdeen who are flagged down to attend an electric scooter crash that has resulted in a broken ankle. They work out the best way of treating a bariatric patient with breathing difficulties and persuade a man who has been drinking 70 per cent homemade vodka to take a trip to A&E.
The Special Operations Response Team attend a car accident that was caused by a flat tyre. The driver miraculously escapes without injury, despite her vehicle tumbling down a steep bank and landing metres from a live railway track and fast-flowing stream.
Meanwhile, at the ambulance control centre, Kirsty, who is autistic, shows how being neurodivergent and on the frontline can help a patient in distress.
