A fall from an electric scooter causes a head injury, and a patient refuses a trip to A&E.

A patient takes a tumble off an electric scooter, hitting his head. He is reluctant to travel to the hospital, but changes his mind when he faints in the ambulance.

In Edinburgh, a man tumbles off his electric scooter, causing cuts, bruising and possible head injury. Initially reluctant to go to hospital, he changes his mind when he faints in the back of the ambulance and finds he is dizzy when he tries to stand up.

Meanwhile, in Glasgow, a lady is worried about her racing heart and has taken some heroin. However, she refuses to go for a blood test, no matter how hard the paramedics work to persuade her.

And in Inverness, paramedics attend a man with a remarkable life story as he deals with ongoing heart problems.
