Lee and Nadine show their caring side

Lee Myers and Nadine Greenfield were filmed carrying out their jobs for the programme – which was filmed pre-Covid – taking a vulnerable elderly lady to the Borders General Hospital after she dislocated her shoulder.

The pair are seen calming the lady, named Margaret, handling the tricky situation of moving the worried pensioner from her home, into the ambulance and on to hospital.

They put their patient at ease with a few good-natured jokes and gentle handling.

When Lee finds out Margaret is the mother of twins, he tells her he, too, is a twin, and his brother Liam is a policeman ... a fact she delights in.

In the ambulance, he tells the now chirpy patient that if she thought Nadine was a bad driver, Nadine would have to “buy the cheese scones”.

Lee and Nadine, who are both from Galashiels, say they will be appearing again later in the series, and it looks like another Borders-based crew will also be shown.

Lee, who has in the past helped to raise lots of cash for the Friends of the BGH and other local charities as part of the Borders Barmy Army fundraising group, said: “It was a fantastic experience and one we won’t forget.

“It was an honour to represent the job we love and show some of the amazing work the incredible crews in the Borders do.

“The whole experience was exciting having never done anything like this before.

“Since it went out, we have been overwhelmed by the amount of praise we have received and we would like to thank everyone for their incredible support.

“I think this is the first time a program like this has taken place in the Borders so it was a fantastic opportunity for us to demonstrate some of the skills we have in emergency medicine, showing some of the types of calls we go to.

“It’s a great insight into the job for people interested in becoming paramedics, but it’s also good for the area as we were given the opportunity to show what a beautiful place the Borders truly is.

“We were both extremely proud to have been fortunate enough have taken part in the programme, we both jumped at the chance to do it.

“Being a paramedic is the best job in the world.

“We are in a privileged position where we genuinely get to do some good in the world.”
