Paramedic explains why following a loved one in an ambulance to hospital is dangerous

A paramedic has issued an urgent warning to people against following their loved ones to hospital after an ambulance has taken them away - citing that in the worst case scenario, it could land you in hospital too.

Taking to social media, the medic said: "If a loved one is taken in an ambulance, do not follow us to the hospital. Go there on your own time and own route."

He also detailed how people sometimes develop 'tunnel vision' when the panic begins to take a hold, causing people to potentially make devastating decisions.
