Doctor saves a child's life in front of her parents.
The following is a translation of a post posted by the doctor on his FB :
Translation:
“It was 1:50 in the morning. After a long and tiring day I couldn’t wait to get home and rest. I laid down on one of the beds and fell asleep for a moment.
But death, I could feel it. Screaming and crying. Death was coming towards me. I started running still basically asleep. The screaming had not yet fully woken me up. Thoughts, confusion, and imagination running wild in my head, all dominated by the idea of death. I felt like my head was going to explode, and my eyes still hadn’t even opened.
Still unable to comprehend what is happening, the father is hoarsely screaming:
“She’s dead. She’s dead. She choked. For god’s sake. she’s dead”.
The mother was crying without a sound. Unable to get any words out.
Father: “She’s not moving.”
Me: “God is greatest. Oh god. Oh god”.
I held the unconscious girl. I held the co**se of a 1yr and 4mth old child. I held her, and here my heart stopped.
I stretched her out on my right arm, face down, and hit her with the palm of my other hand on the middle of her back over and over. After a moment, the child started crying. That’s when I finally woke up.
I lifted my head to the sky. “Oh god. Thank god”.
The parents and I had been in momentary shock from the greatness of the situation. Our legs could no longer support us, and we sat on the ground.
Father: “what happened? Is she still alive? Is she still alive?!”
Me: “I swear she’s still alive. Here she is, crying”.
