BBC's Ambulance highlights the incredible work of paramedics in the UK. Filmed in the north east the show follows normal ambulance crews going about their daily callouts.
From singing along with patients to emotional moments, the amazing ambulance crew experience everything life has to offer. Previous episodes included the story of the paramedic reduced to tears as he helped a bed-bound man who hadn't eaten or drank for three days. Read more here.
All the paramedics have personal reasons for joining the job and becoming a paramedic, especially Sammie, who reveals during the latest episode on Thursday, August 25 at 9pm on BBC One, that she became a paramedic after suffering abuse. She wanted to help others going through the same horrific experience. After treating a woman who had been badly beaten in a domestic abuse situation, Sammie spoke about why she became a paramedic.
