Paramedic Sean Rigby talks about what he does in a typical week at work.0:04
I don't think of myself as a hero just because I save people's lives.0:10

I work with a crewmate, Ben.0:21
We see a lot of each other because we work 12 hours a day.0:23

When we are on duty, we take turns driving the ambulance.0:29
It is very difficult to get through the London traffic quickly in an emergency without causing any accidents.0:33
Most of our work is routine.0:39
A lot of people who call for an ambulance don't need to go to hospital at all, but you don't know that for certain until you get there.0:41
We also get called out a lot to help old people who have fallen over in their homes and can't pull themselves back up again.0:48
They're not usually hurt, but some of them could have been lying on the floor for hours.0:55
You have to be able to cope with stress in this job, especially when there is an emergency.1:01
Last week we had to transfer a patient to another hospital.1:08
He was critically ill and he could have died.1:11
Thankfully, we got him there safely.1:14
I think we do a lot of good and I wouldn't want to do any other job.1:16
