[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Gwan-ju] The good deed of a nurse who calmly treated a 70-year-old emergency patient at Yongsan Station in Seoul and handed him over to paramedics was revealed belatedly.

According to Soonchunhyang University Seoul Hospital on the 19th, nurse Park Eun-ji, who works in the hospital's operating room, visited Yongsan Station around 6 p.m. on the 15th and found a bleeding 70-year-old man collapsed on the ground.

The patient was suffering severe bleeding from his head and nose, and his breathing was unstable. Nurse Park immediately recognized the situation as requiring cardiopulmonary resuscitation and rushed to the patient. She secured the airway, checked the pulse, and took measures to keep the patient conscious, then stayed at the scene until the 119 paramedics arrived to transport him.

Nurse Park's good deed was made known after a station staff member who witnessed the scene at Yongsan Station and helped in the emergency posted a message titled "Deep gratitude to Nurse Park Eun-ji of Soonchunhyang University" on the Soonchunhyang University Seoul Hospital website.

Station staff member Jung Su-hwan said, “Nurse Park Eun-ji did not mind getting blood on her coat and firmly stayed at the scene, even postponing her appointment. I would like to express my gratitude to all nurses, doctors, and medical staff in Korea.”

Nurse Park said, “It was something I should do as a nurse, and the surrounding citizens helped very well. I am following my mother’s path as a nurse, and I feel proud to have done a good deed by chance. I hope the patient recovers healthily and returns to daily life.”
