BBC Scotland - Paramedics on Scene, Series 3 (Shortened Versions), Episode 8

Paramedics deal with a patient who has overdosed on 'street Valium'.

Paramedics attending to a man found slumped in Edinburgh city centre suspect an overdose of 'street Valium'. They also treat a frail pensioner with a suspected broken hip.

In Edinburgh, paramedic team Tom and Donna attend a man whom they suspect has taken drugs including ‘street Valium’. He is found slumped outside a shop on Princes Street but, despite the crew’s best efforts, does not want to be taken to hospital.

Meanwhile, in the Borders, Melrose-based crew Christine and Mike treat Alan, a pensioner proud of his once-vibrant social life, but who is now struggling to get out and about. The crew suspect he may have broken his hip and transport him to hospital for tests. And in Paisley, Peter and Kirsty attend to a patient with severe breathing difficulties.
