“It was first thought that it could be a chest pain linked with a heart problem, but the patient had suffered a fall earlier on in the week and was suffering a pain in her chest and ribs as a result of the fall.

“We attended the scene with clinicians and were able to assess and treat the patient but she didn’t receive hospital treatment.”

SECAmb were on the scene until around 11.30am.
