Paramedic

The Paramedic side-mission can be toggled on or off when driving the Ambulance in Grand Theft Auto III, Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, Grand Theft Auto Advance, Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories, Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories and Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars.

Description
The Paramedic side mission involves the player locating, picking up and delivering patients to the hospital within a time limit. The hospital is the closest one to where the player began the side mission. Each new level adds one new patient to collect. After completing level twelve (level fifteen in GTA Vice City Stories), the player is rewarded. The Ambulance can carry up to three patients at one time (except GTA Advance where the number of passengers is unlimited).

The side mission can be failed by ending the side mission, leaving or destroying the Ambulance, killing one patient, which can occur after numerous bumps (which hurts the patient, costing the player time) or running over patients, and being killed or arrested. Failing the paramedic side mission results in the player having to start from the first level, except in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories and Grand Theft Auto Advance, where the player can resume from the last checkpoint.

In Grand Theft Auto III, a level has to be completed in order for the "patients rescued" stat be updated. Not completing the level means no update to the stat even though patients are actually rescued.

In Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories, there is a checkpoint at the end of levels 5 and 10. In GTA Advance - after each level. If the checkpoint has been passed but the mission is failed, the mission can be resumed from the checkpoint.

The Paramedic side-mission is absent in the HD Universe (Grand Theft Auto IV, its episodes, and Grand Theft Auto V).

However, this side-mission returns in Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars. Here, unlike previous titles, just one patient can be carried by the ambulance. The missions are divided by 5 waves, each with two to four patients to be collected. To complete one mission, the player must complete the 5 waves without quitting or failing. A new feature has also been introduced in Chinatown Wars. Now, while carrying a patient, if the player bumps the ambulance too much, the patient can suffer a heart failure. To reanimate them, in the NDS or iOS/Android version, the player must keep pressing the stylus in the touch screen, or by pressing the L and R buttons repeatedly on the PSP version. To achieve 100%, just one mission must be completed (5 waves, bronze medal), to acquire the infinite sprint, five missions must be completed (25 waves, gold medal).

In all three Definitive Edition games, accidents (any damage done to the ambulance) during delivery of patients will cause the player to lose time.

Trivia

 * In GTA San Andreas, due to a glitch, two patients may sometimes spawn inside of each other while standing on the sidewalk. However, if the player drives the ambulance up to them, they may pop out of each other and enter the ambulance like normal.
 * Also, if Carl rolls the ambulance onto its side for a period of time all patients will get out and no longer need to go to the hospital, when the ambulance rights itself, he can carry on with the mission.
 * In the iOS version, if Carl activates the mission near the All Saints Hospital in Los Santos, it will be impossible to complete it farther than level 10, because the game will crash during level 10 or 11. This was tested in version 1.02.
 * In San Andreas, if a paramedic mission is started any recruited gang members will cease to be recruited, therefore if the player enters an ambulance, starts the Paramedic mission, cancels it and leaves the ambulance, the gang member sitting in the passenger seat will get in the driver's seat and drive the ambulance away.
 * On rare occasions in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City and Grand Theft Auto III, patients may spawn in a location where they can't be reached such as the interior of a Well Stacked Pizza, in the ruins of the Haitian's destroyed warehouse, in the Bitch'n' Dog Food factory or even below the pavement and may appear stuck inside a wall.
