The SORT (Special Operations Response Team) has received two calls about children who are in critical condition. Michal’s finger is severed, but the crew is keeping their fingers crossed that surgery will save it. The goal is to get the injured child from the outdoor inflatable assault course to the waiting ambulance without losing your balance yourself.

We tag along with Dalkeith’s paramedics Kim and Scott as they treat a 92-year-old woman and a man who collapsed on the street after a night of ketamine and alcohol.

Meanwhile, a dispatcher for an ambulance service has to juggle an increase in calls with a decrease in available resources.
