Overview

Picture this: In a bustling city street, a cyclist loses control and crashes into a parked car, injuring their arm. Swiftly, a team of paramedics arrives with sirens blaring, providing immediate care. They assess the situation, calm the distressed cyclist, and immobilise the injured arm while administering pain relief. The individual is then transported to the hospital for further treatment. In moments like these, paramedics are the unsung heroes who bridge the gap between emergencies and medical intervention.
