`What Are You Scared Of?"

Season 13 Episode 5 of 6

In north-east London, crew members Niamh, Isabelle and Gary are dispatched to a 25-year-old patient who has fallen while scaling the walls at a climbing centre. He needs urgent treatment to put the broken bones back in alignment, otherwise he might lose a foot. Rob and Nikita attend a 37-year-old female with Rett syndrome - a rare genetic disorder that impedes brain development. They are touched to hear the positive impact the ambulance service has had on the patient's life, as they discover the severity of unrelenting challenges that come with the life-limiting disability. Narrated by Christopher Eccleston
