The call comes through. A young female has collapsed in the street outside a nightclub.
The paramedic is dispatched to the scene, parks his ambulance and starts to assess the situation.
The young woman appears drunk and is singing in a slurred way, but after an examination and blood and glucose tests the paramedic discovers she is also diabetic and in need of immediate treatment.
It's a testing scenario for a student paramedic, and one where there is the potential to make some dangerous errors.
