What can we expect from this episode
The number of drug-related deaths in Dumfries and Galloway is now double the Scottish average because of the region’s growing drug addiction problem. At the scene of an overdose and cardiac arrest, we are introduced to two paramedics who are on the front lines of this issue. However, he begins to regain consciousness just as they arrive, and he categorically rejects their offers of medical assistance.
Paramedics in Kilmarnock are also under pressure because a worried mother believes her infant may have swallowed a drawing pin. The baby will no longer be choking by the time they get there, but they still need to locate the pin and determine if it caused any permanent damage. The same group of people assists a retired nurse who has fallen and an elderly man who is sick at home. In order for the man to continue living at home safely, paramedics will conduct an evaluation of his long-term care needs.
The SORT crew responds to a classic accident when a medical student breaks her ankle while climbing Arthur’s Seat in Edinburgh.
The Scottish Ambulance Service serves over five million people, from remote islands to busy cities.
Paramedics on Scene captures the life-saving work of Scotland’s paramedics as they respond to emergencies wherever they are needed.
Each episode features extraordinary stories from across the country, with the cameras following divisional ambulances responding to high-pressure 999 calls, 24 hours a day. The call-outs ranged from air-ambulances in Highlands and Islands, bringing treatment to Scotland’s remotest communities to city centre car smashes to dealing onsite with life-threatening sepsis.
