Episode 3 of 10

A biker鈥檚 tour of northern Scotland is cut short due to a broken rib, and paramedics in Banff rush to the home of a woman who collapsed while on the phone for an ambulance.

In this episode, two patients experience excruciating pain following accidents the previous day. One is an injured biker who was touring the North Coast 500 with friends, and the other is a 71-year-old woman who had been playing with her grandchildren on a trampoline.

In Dalkeith, a crew attend an emergency involving a woman with symptoms that indicate a possible stroke, sepsis, or even both. These are life-threatening illnesses, and getting her the right treatment is time-critical. Meanwhile ,paramedics from Banff rush 25 miles to the home of a woman who lost consciousness while on the phone for an ambulance.

At the ambulance control centre, we learn what it feels like to help callers deliver life-saving CPR as they wait for paramedics to arrive.
