During the Delhi half marathon this week at Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium, a cardiologist's race turned into a life-saving mission. Dr Ramit Wadhwa, a non-invasive cardiologist at Fortis Hospital, Gurugram, wasn't just aiming to finish; he was about to save a life.
When a fellow runner collapsed mid-race, Dr. Wadhwa sprang into action without hesitation. He administered CPR, a crucial intervention that helped stabilise the man before he was transferred to the nearest hospital.
