When the ambulance maneuvers through traffic with its blue lights flashing, drivers are forced to stop or swerve. Pedestrians stop and wonder what might have happened. But they rarely know what's going on; they're there, right where it's happening. TV reporters Matthias Hämmerly and Christof Schneider go with their camera to the exact spot where it's happening. They accompanied a paramedic team for several days. The result is a report that provides a fascinating insight into the daily lives of paramedics in Thun.
