Watch: Doc's Prompt Response Saves Man Experiencing Heart Attack At Delhi Airport

An elderly man aged 60 years experiencing a heart attack was rescued instantly by a woman doctor in 5 minutes on July 17 at Terminal 2 of Delhi Airport. As the female doctor saw the man collapsing on the floor, she quickly got into action, giving him CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation) on the spot.

CPR is a technique involving chest compressions and rescue breaths which can sustain blood circulation until professional assistance is provided. Immediate intervention significantly enhances the chances of survival and the doctor's persistence helped bring the man back to his senses. It is only because of the doctor's presence of mind and continuous struggle that she was able to save a life. The man also delivered his thanks to the doctor afterwards.

Airport Emergency assists the doctor in man's recovery

As soon as the man regained consciousness, the doctor called for the airport's emergency staff to help her by telling them that this was a case of urgency. By continuing to give him CPR, they brought the man back to life. A video of the incident was also shared on X and went viral. An X user named Rishi Bagree posted about the occurrence on various social media platforms. However, the doctor's identity is still unknown. 

Netizens around the world are praising the doctor for such a courageous action. This is a proud moment for all the Indian doctors around the world and the crucial role they play in our lives.

A similar event occurred in 2023 too when an Indian doctor revived a patient who suffered two massive heart attacks on his UK-India flight. The reports indicate that the man's pulse stopped twice but the doctor kept battling for hours and revived him. There have been a few more incidents where Indian doctors have paved their ways valiantly and spontaneously to save the lives of citizens making the country proud each day.
