Special Operations medics attend an incident on Arthur’s Seat in Edinburgh

Special Operations medics attend an incident on Arthur’s Seat in Edinburgh. A man with a suspected broken ankle might need to be rescued by the team's all-terrain vehicle.

In Aberdeen, ambulance crew Sarah and Stuart are called to a patient with epilepsy who has had a succession of fits and needs to be taken to hospital. In Edinburgh, the Special Operations Team attend a car crash involving some tourists who have just arrived in Scotland only to find themselves involved in a collision and on their way to hospital. And they are also called to assist with an incident on Arthur’s Seat - where a man has a suspected broken ankle and might need to be rescued by the team in their all-terrain vehicle. In Paisley, paramedics Fiona and Brian visit an elderly lady who has fallen and gashed her arm. A bit of patching up is enough to fix her wound – she can stay at home to recover.
