A 23-year-old woman’s life was saved by a doctor employed by the BMC who performed cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), highlighting once again the critical role of the procedure in averting fatalities.
Pratibha Raut (name changed) suddenly felt dizzy and fainted at the Ghatkopar Metro station on September 17. Co-passengers tried to bring her to her senses by splashing water on her face, but the woman was unresponsive. Meanwhile, Dr Madhuri Gaikwad, assistant medical officer at BMC’s Sahar Health Centre, happened to see the crowd that had gathered around the woman while returning home from work.
