Fans of Ambulance on BBC One have had their say on the paramedics strike row as they issue an important plea to the government.
Another episode of the popular BBC documentary series aired last night (January 11) as paramedics and ambulance drivers strike across England and Wales this week.
The paramedics dealt with several tough cases in the most recent episode, which included the tragic deaths of two women.
Here’s what viewers are saying after watching Ambulance on BBC…
Ambulance aired a tough episode among strikes this week
Last night, Ambulance viewers watched the paramedics, ambulance drivers and 999 operators as they dealt with thousands of calls including a tough night on St Patrick’s Day, filled with alcohol-fueled incidents.
They also dealt with several mental health emergencies, including a suicidal man who called in a false bomb threat and a 14-year-old girl who had attempted suicide.
Viewers were also heartbroken to watch 19-year-old patient named Daniel, who suffered a massive seizure caused by his epilepsy.
But viewers were extremely affected by the two deaths featured in the programme which saw Kelly, 27, and Doreen, 64, both die from cardiac arrests.
