Viral Video: Successfully averting a life-threatening situation solely based on her skills and decision-making, a doctor saved a man who collapsed from a sudden heart attack at the Delhi Airport’s Terminal 2. Luckily for the man allegedly in his late 60s, the woman was quick with her actions as she gave him cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), resulting in the man getting revived after a while. The man reportedly lost his pulse for a while. A video of the doctor rhythmically pumping the elderly's chest was shared on social media, which went viral almost immediately. As soon as the clip went viral, the internet was quick to laud the woman and her efforts.
The video was shared on X (formerly Twitter), by the handle ‘rishibagree’. The post was captioned, “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. Please share this so that she can be acknowledged.” The video was shared yesterday and pulled 6.2M views from people.

Taking to the comment section, people shared their take. “People who are into leaking exam papers, this is what you are robbing from our Nation, talented and sincere Doctors,” a user said. “Mahadev bless the lady doctor,” added a second person. “This is the difference of culture and values. Some people use their knowledge to save someone's life and some people take someone's life,” added another.
“Salute to the doctor! Every Indian should learn how to do CPR. In Germany it’s part of the first aid course which is a mandatory step to get a driving license,” joined a fourth netizen. “Great work. CPR, and first aid all should be taught in schools,” commented a fifth person. “This woman should be awarded,” wrote the next.
