This was the moving moment an elderly man turned down medical treatment because he didn't want to die in hospital.
Tonight's episode of BBC 1's Ambulance saw paramedics called out to 86-year-old Arthur, who had suspected sepsis.
After discovering his blood pressure, sugars and heart rate were all low, paramedics Gary and Claire felt a trip to hospital was needed.
But Arthur, who was finding medical intervention painful to bear, made it clear that he didn't want to go, and instead wanted to live out the rest of his life in his care home.
He was supported by his daughter Christine who agreed that her father's wishes should be honoured.
"He wouldn't like treating", Gary explains to clinical support over the phone, "He would like to die".
Clinicians agreed to his wishes and offered to arrange palliative care so Arthur could stay where he was.
Paramedic Gary later shared the very personal reason he was able to empathise with the family, explaining that his late wife had declined more treatment when she knew she was terminally ill.
"It is very difficult, to watch somebody deteriorate in front of you. I do understand partly what they are going through," he says.
"My late wife didn't want any more treatment because it couldn't be cured, she just wanted to be comfortable and pain free, it's the last decision they are ever going to make, it's giving that person that control at the end of their life.
"I wouldn't be where I am now if it wasn't for my first wife. I wouldn't have moved to Manchester, I wouldn't have become a paramedic.
"She was 36 when she died. My children were nine and six at the time, so I suppose that's all her legacy really."
The programme later explained that Arthur died peacefully in his care home, as he had wanted.
The last episode of the fourth series, which covered last year's May bank holiday, ended on a positive note, when it was revealed that Gary and Claire are actually a couple.

Gary explained that he never thought he would be with anyone else, until he met his fellow medic.
"When my first wife died, I never for one moment considered that I'd be with anybody else ever, and then I met Claire," he says.
"It's very important between a crew, whether you are husband and wife, to be able to rely on each other, and trust each other because you do go through some awful situations and you do have to have that trust between each other, whether you are married or not.
"It's nice to have someone who understands."
Earlier in the episode, paramedic team Clare and Gemma were called to help a woman who had suffered a seizure outside the Peel Centre in Stockport.
When the patient tells them her 21-year-old daughter has wandered off, they are initially not worried - until they find out she had Down's Syndrome and is usually always with her mum.
Clare finds 21-year-old Leah nearby and gently comforts her after finding out she is frightened by seeing her mum in an ambulance, because it brings back memories of when her dad died.
Fortunately Leah quickly feels much better when her uncle arrives to take her home.
