  1. Generally Paramedics are indeed trained to deal with the emotional side of it, even the people who have to remove it, others not so much. The reality is if you watch any of the shows to do with Ambulance crews there's at least one when this crew went into the home of someone that just died of natural causes and the smell of it apparently is something they couldn't quite explain, had been there for least two weeks, the place was warm which only would have made the start of the decomposition problem worse. Not to the same emotional degree of the staff who deal with an actual autopsy, the reality with them is that (one being performed usually at the request of the coroner) is if ones not had any reason to die or the cause of death is in doubt (especially sometimes for murders like poisonings are a big one) they'll want to do an autopsy, yeah think they must have balls as such of steel to be able to perform those.

  2. Here's one of those episodes (as it says does contain upsetting scenes, probably one of those cases) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mx77-UtxdqY what annoys me is they can't send out due to budgets someone with mental health training like someone from their mental health teams for things with suicide threats due to budget cuts, the ambulance crews can't really do very much but wait for the police, as they have negotiating skills to deal with them. To get the reality of their training they spend at least a few weeks shadowing as a Paramedic an A&E/E.D. (stands for Emergency Dept.) Dr at the very least (actually they lose the Dr title when a Dr goes into General Surgery so no General Surgeon will ever have the title Dr.) for a number of weeks before going out on their own. Not sure with the Technicians (like EMT's really in the US is the most comparable thing they are) but they're only at a situation able to give First Aid type care but anything other must be at least I'd have thought supervised by the Paramedics, it's though up to the Dr's and the Registrars in A&E/ED to deal with whatever's the problem. Especially with things like what Daniel has/had bless him, Schizophrenia aka Paranoid Delusions, starts off commonly as auditory but can become visual when you see things effectively of course that don't exist or things are happening that aren't really. https://youtu.be/mx77-UtxdqY?t=2913 its that part exactly where yeah someones gone shall we say....
