Paramedic is an emergency vehicle-based side mission available in Grand Theft Auto III.
Description[]
In order to start the mission, the player must find an Ambulance and press the button shown on the instruction text (platform dependent) to toggle the side mission on or off.
Once the mission is started, the player is given the location of a patient in a random neighborhood of the current island, and a time limit on screen below the HUD.
The player must drive the Ambulance to the patient's location, pick them up and deliver them to the hospital within the time limit to complete the level.
For each new level, an additional patient is added to the radar to be picked up. As the Ambulance has only three seats available for the patients, it will be necessary to make multiple runs to complete a single level after level 3.
After picking up any patient, a time bonus is given to the player, increasing the time limit of the current level.
In order to achieve the 100% Completion requirement, the player must complete 12 levels in a row. If the mission is cancelled or failed, the player must restart from the first level.
