A tiny baby rushed to the RVI, a heart-breaking miscarriage and fears for 100-year-old Doris in Heaton all featured in Thursday's harrowing episode of the BBC's Ambulance TV series.
The latest series of the show is focussing on the North East Ambulance Service and episode four saw tears and trauma over a busy winter weekend for the ambulance service. Paramedic Joseph Picola and clinical care assistant Hayley Robertson were in the thick of a series of difficult storylines.
The pair shared with each other how much trusting your crewmate can help ambulance service staff through the hardest of calls. In the episode, their first call sees them unable to help someone who has fallen from a Quayside bridge, before they were almost immediately called to a touch-and-go incident with a small baby in Walker.
