Doctor's Timely CPR Saves Life of 60-Year-old at Delhi Airport, Video Wins Internet

New Delhi: Delhi Airport witnessed a dramatic and heroic scene on Wednesday when a woman doctor saved the life of an elderly man who suffered a heart attack. As the video went viral on social media, netizens have been praising her for her quick and decisive actions. The incident took place at Terminal 2, where the female doctor happened to be present. 

In the now-viral video, she is seen performing chest compressions on the ailing man, surrounded by a crowd of concerned onlookers. Her quick response and medical expertise were instrumental in reviving the man within five minutes, during which she continuously motivated him until he regained consciousness. 

Later, the man received further medical treatment from airport authorities.  

While the identity of the doctor is yet to be ascertained, social media users are calling for her to be acknowledged for her heroism.

“Today at T2 Delhi Airport, a gentleman in his late 60s had a heart attack in the food court area. This lady Doctor revived him in 5 mins. Super proud of Indian doctors”, an X user wrote, while sharing the video. 

Last year, a similar incident took place when an Indian doctor revived a patient who suffered two massive heart attacks during a UK-India flight. According to reports, the man's heart stopped twice, and the doctor had to battle for hours to save his life.

The doctor, Vishwaraj Vemala, had only oxygen and an automated external defibrillator available to aid the 43-year-old man. Despite these limited resources, Dr. Vemala's expertise were crucial in stabilizing the patient during the flight.
