Inside the Ambulance

Paramedics respond to a call involving a woman whose foot has been run over by a bin lorry on a busy street. Meanwhile, a medical team is dispatched to evaluate a man suffering from an agonising headache that has persisted for several days.

The programme follows emergency crews as they rush to the scene of everyday crises, offering a close‑up look at the work of paramedics and specialist response teams. Each episode presents a pair of distinct incidents, showing how quickly the services must react and the variety of injuries they encounter. In the first case, a paramedic unit is dispatched after a woman suffers a serious foot injury when a bin lorry runs over it. The crew arrives on the scene to assess the damage, provide immediate care and arrange the necessary medical support for the victim. The second situation centres on a separate team that is called to evaluate a man who has been enduring an excruciating headache for several days. The responders conduct a thorough examination, aiming to determine the cause of the persistent pain and to decide on the appropriate treatment pathway. Both of these scenarios are featured within the same episode, highlighting the contrasting nature of the emergencies that frontline staff must handle—from traumatic accidents involving heavy vehicles to prolonged, severe medical conditions. The episode therefore showcases the breadth of challenges faced by emergency personnel as they move from one urgent call to the next.
