Bengaluru Nephrologist saves woman with CPR who suffers cardiac arrest at polling booth
Bengaluru: A heroic move and prompt action of a Bengaluru-based nephrologist and transplant physician Dr Ganesh Srinivasa Prasad saved the life of a woman who collapsed while standing in a queue at a polling booth on Friday.
Dr Ganesh like many other citizens, was waiting in line to cast his vote for the second phase of the Lok Sabha elections in Karnataka when he noticed the woman standing in front of him fell ill and fainted while taking water from a can at the booth.
Immediately addressing the situation, the doctor wasted no time and performed cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) on the woman who had suffered a cardiac arrest following which she regained a pulse and spontaneous circulation began within minutes.
