Paramedics on Scene: Season 3, Episode 2

3 - 2: Episode 2

In this episode, an amateur footballer has suffered a serious and painful double fracture to his lower leg. The crew find him in agony on a muddy football pitch and, battling torrential rain, they must calm his pain and stabilise his injury before he can be taken to hospital.

Meanwhile, a teenager in Ayr has fallen off a rope swing badly, and the pParamedics need to assess his back and spine in case he has suffered a serious injury.

Paramedics In Johnstone are called to a man who is suffering stroke-like symptoms, including slurred speech and dizziness. The symptoms are concerning enough for a trip to hospital.

In Melrose, advanced practitioner Mike and crewmate Christine are attending a patient who is struggling to pass kidney stones and in excruciating pain. They fight to control his pain and avoid a trip to A&E.

And in the Ambulance Control Centre in South Queensferry, call handler Sarah fields calls from a woman having a seizure and must instruct a caller to give a patient CPR.
