Paisley paramedics Gary and Peter rush to treat a patient whose heart rate is dangerously fast and must stabilise him before he can be transported to hospital.

In Melrose, Lee and Nadine attend a 40-year-old woman with severe Covid symptoms, a common call-out during the pandemic. The patient is struggling to walk, and the crew give her oxygen in the ambulance on the way to hospital.

In Ayr, Elaine and Arin are on the night shift and must tend to a man who has walked into a plate glass window. Although he seems fine, the crew are concerned enough about the bump to his head that they take him to hospital for checks.

Meanwhile, at the South Queensferry ambulance control centre, call handler Sarah is dealing with a call at pub closing time that involves a woman having a fit. Sarah must calm the situation while sending an ambulance to the scene.

In Edinburgh, Kevin and Martyn treat a man suffering from blinding headaches, while in Dunfermline, Jason and Billy attend a 94-year-old man who has fallen at home and cannot get back up. After carefully assessing their patient, the crew are able to move him safely into the ambulance. Show less
