An Aberdeen ambulance crew deals with several alcohol-related calls in one tough shift.

An ambulance crew in Aberdeen helps an intoxicated man who has fallen down some stairs, while a helicopter crew flies to Islay to help a pregnant woman who is experiencing a bleed.

In this episode, we follow Aberdeen crewmates Scott and Rachel as they to respond to three alcohol-related calls in one evening shift.

Paramedic Paul is at the scene of a road traffic collision that has left a woman injured and trapped in her car. Paul must help keep her safe while the crews of the fire service use specialist equipment to cut her out of her vehicle.

Elsewhere, an air ambulance crew fly to Islay, where a woman in the second trimester of her pregnancy has been having a bleed. They need to take her to a hospital in Paisley for further assessment.

Meanwhile, at the ambulance control centre, emergency call handler Chloe makes sure that a woman having a seizure following a cocaine injection is breathing effectively. However, demand for ambulances is high, and she has to tell the caller there may be a long wait.
