More4’s “999: On the Front Line” returns this Sunday, taking a raw and unflinching look at the pressures faced by West Midlands paramedics. Episode three presents a night shift fraught with difficult calls and dwindling resources, testing the limits of these first responders.
From an unconscious man suspected of a drug overdose in the town center to a young person with a dangerously high heart rate requiring police escort to the hospital, the paramedics face a constant barrage of unpredictable situations. Even routine calls, like transporting a 27-stone man with vision loss and high blood pressure, demand specialized help, ingenuity, and careful maneuvering.
Plus, they also attend to a woman struggling to breathe and a teenager in the throes of a seizure. Catch episode three this Sunday, 18 May at 9:00 PM GMT on More4.
