Chutian Golden News reported by reporter Liao Qiao and correspondent Zhang Fenghua: Yesterday morning, on the No. 108 bus traveling from Hanzheng Street to Liyuan, a grandfather in his fifties suddenly fell ill, collapsing from his seat onto the ground without moving. In the critical moment, the driver and passengers worked together to rescue him. The elderly man was eventually saved after being sent to the hospital in time.
At around 11 a.m. yesterday, passenger Zhou Desi called our newspaper to report that on the No. 108 bus, an elderly man wearing a black coat suddenly collapsed on the bus. Passengers nearby approached to call out to him but received no response; the elderly man seemed like he had "fallen asleep." At this point, a passenger shouted loudly to the driver: "Driver, there's trouble, someone has fainted, hurry up and save him."
Upon hearing this, driver Wang Ming immediately pulled over at the side of the road. After approaching the single-person seat near the middle door of the bus, he found that an elderly man about fifty years old had collapsed on the ground, with his mouth and eyes twisted. Some observant passengers analyzed that the elderly man might have suffered a sudden stroke, and the situation was critical, requiring urgent medical attention. Subsequently, everyone dialed 120 for emergency services and 110 to report the incident. They opened the windows of the bus to provide more space for the elderly man, while the driver urgently drove the bus to the side of the road on Zhongnan Road, maintaining contact with the medical personnel via phone.
Soon, medical staff and police arrived at the scene. It was confirmed that the elderly man had suffered a sudden stroke. He was immediately taken to Wuhan Seventh Hospital. The police contacted his family through the elderly man’s phone, and the anxious relatives quickly arrived at the hospital upon hearing the news.
Currently, the elderly man who suffered the stroke is still receiving treatment in the hospital, but there are no major issues. Medical staff introduced that if it weren't for the timely medical intervention, the consequences would have been unimaginable. The family of the elderly man expressed their deep gratitude to those who kindly offered help in the critical moment. (Editor: SN005)
