Sunita, who has been working at Fortis Escorts hospital since 2021, was travelling from Batala to Amritsar when she noticed a male passenger lose consciousness. Without hesitation, she checked the passenger’s pulse and initiated CPR after making him lie down on the seat.

After a few minutes, the patient regained consciousness and vomited, reporting a sense of relief and improvement in his condition. The relative accompanying him informed Sunita that the passenger had recently undergone cardiac stenting and was going to a government hospital for a check-up.

Sunita’s act has been hailed as a testament to her professionalism and commitment to patient care. “As a nurse, my responsibility extends beyond the hospital walls. Every second counts in an emergency, and I am grateful that I could apply my training to save a life,” she said.

Sunita’s heroic act has earned her praise from her colleagues and the patient’s family. Her bravery and quick thinking have reinforced the dignity of her profession and serves as an inspiration to others.
