Documentary series 999: On the Front Line returns with Season 11 Episode 3, airing on More4. This episode offers another stomach wrenching insight into the demanding work of paramedic crews.
In this episode, cameras follow paramedic crews from three ambulance hubs: Stoke, Stafford, and Willenhall in the Black Country. They respond to a range of urgent calls, including a road traffic accident, a fall down a flight of stairs, a burst varicose vein, and a baby with breathing difficulties and an irregular heartbeat. One of the most challenging incidents involves a track-side suicide, a tragic and distressing experience even for the most seasoned paramedics.
The episode also features familiar faces from previous seasons, showcasing the dedication and resilience of these first responders as they navigate through a high volume of calls, with approximately 4000 received by the service each day.
