999: On the Front Line

Paramedics help a man with a history of heart attacks experiencing severe chest pain. Treatment at the scene does little to improve his condition, so he is rushed to hospital. Paramedics also treat an elderly man who's collapsed underneath his bed, a baby struggling to breathe, and a 102-year-old woman who may have developed deep vein thrombosis but is reluctant to go to hospital.

A man has been making repeated calls claiming to be having a heart attack. He lives near the hospital and in the past has used an ambulance as a taxi to get him home. Paramedics also treat a woman who is in agony with a slipped disc, a man with a chronic lung disease who can hardly breathe, and a patient who is unresponsive.
