Doctor saves life of child who collapsed after electric shock
Overview
In a heartwarming display of medical heroism, an Andhra Pradesh doctor's quick actions saved the life of a 6-year-old boy who was electrocuted in Ayyappa Nagar, Vijayawada. The boy's frantic parents were carrying him along the road when he suddenly went into cardiac arrest.
Dr. Ravalika, who happened to be passing by, noticed the distress and immediately sprang into action. Demonstrating remarkable presence of mind, she performed CPR (Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation) on the boy right there on the road. A video captured the tense moments as Dr. Ravalika continuously thumped the boy’s chest while he lay lifeless, with passersby clearing the road to allow her space to work.
After several attempts, Dr. Ravalika successfully revived the child. After five tense minutes, the boy began breathing again. He was then rushed to a hospital for further treatment and has since made a full recovery.
