Episode 6

Portsmouth biker paramedic Allan is on his way to a man complaining of chest pains. But, when he arrives, it soon becomes clear that his patient needs more help that Allan can give. The man is an alcoholic and refuses to go to hospital. After making some shocking discoveries, Allan alerts the authorities, in a case that demands understanding and compassion rather than medical treatment. Fellow paramedic Robin gets a 999 call to a cyclist who has been hit by a car. She is struggling to remember what happened, which could mean anything from concussion to brain damage. As there is also a risk of neck and spinal injuries, Robin needs to act fast. As the biker cops in Essex are on the prowl for drivers behaving badly, a van grabs PC Martin Ackers’ attention. Someone somewhere may have to go without their food delivery. In Cornwall, biker paramedic Iain has rushed to a man suffering from agonising chest pains. He has angina but a self-medication plan he usually follows is not doing the trick. Iain is worried that the man may be having a heart attack and he is not prepared to risk the patient’s condition deteriorating any further.
