Off-duty nurse and police save woman’s life at Chiang Mai Railway Station

[snoop1130]

 

An off-duty nurse, aided by railway police, performed life-saving CPR on a woman who collapsed at Chiang Mai Railway Station in northern Thailand. The woman’s relatives are overwhelmed with gratitude, describing the timely intervention as a miracle, stating if she had been delayed at the hospital, she would have been lost forever.

 

According to railway police officer Narongsak Chaitham and his colleague Somsart Wandee, the incident occurred on the Wednesday morning of August 2 when they were overseeing passenger convenience on train number 13. Passenger Jittaphattana, a teacher in a private school in Chiang Mai, collapsed and her heart stopped while waiting for a pickup at Chiang Mai Railway Station, warranting immediate intervention.

 

At that moment, a woman passerby identified herself as a nurse and came forward and applied an automated external defibrillator (AED) while performing CPR, which brought life back to Jittaphatna’s heart before an ambulance could transport her safely to McCormick Hospital, reported Sanook.

 

Jittaphattana’s relatives thanked the railway police and managed to locate the kind-hearted nurse Waraphorn Thongtip. She works as a staff nurse at the Yan Neng Public Health Hospital in Saraphi District, Chiang Mai.

 

Today, the 48 year old victim’s family travelled to the Chiang Mai Railway Police office, to thank them, also extending their gratitude to nurse Waraphorn with a basket of fruits. The moment they saw Waraphorn, the victim’s relatives hugged her with compassion.

A miracle indeed... it's amazing what knowledge coupled with equipment can do.

Right place right time.. and it wasn't her time to go.

More than lucky that the nurse had been there in the exact right moment equipped with AED that is necessary to make the heart beat again .

Just as Hotchilli says , not her time to go yet ...

Is it Karma or just coincidence ...?
