999: On the Front Line

Police find a man lying unconscious in the street following a suspected drug overdose. When a man is found collapsed outside his house clutching his chest, the paramedics need to act quickly as he may be having a heart attack. A category one call - the highest priority - comes through for a woman collapsed on her bathroom floor and an elderly woman climbs on a chair to reach a daddy long-legs, with painful consequences.

A call comes in from a GP surgery for a child suffering a severe asthma attack and paramedics are called out to a young woman with multiple sclerosis who is in considerable pain. A man with advanced bowel cancer who is struggling to breathe is seen to by a district nurse so as to avoid a visit to A&E. Plus, a patient is having their 10th nose bleed in 11 days.

Calls to the ambulance service reach new heights in the early hours of Saturday morning as the clubs start to empty. A young woman is found intoxicated by the side of the road and an amateur boxer has vomited in his sleep and is difficult to rouse after losing a fight. Paramedics are called for a woman who has gone into premature labour at 32 weeks.
