At about 4:30 pm on June 30, a patrolling officer who was on-duty in the station, found in the monitoring room that a male passengers walking slowing and rubbing on chest with his hand. “Hurry up, a passenger has fallen down!” the on-duty officer said.

At the time, there was a lot of people there, including\u00a0Emmanuel Maduabuchi Abraham,<\/span> a clinical medical intern\u00a0Nigerian<\/span> student, who studied in\u00a0Guangxi Medical University<\/span> for 6 years. He’d just\u00a0returned from a visit to the zoo with his family, and\u00a0<\/span><\/span>approached\u00a0to help the man who looked like he was struggling but he said he was alright, so\u00a0Maduabuchi left him and continued downstairs\u00a0to take a metro. While\u00a0Maduabuchi was waiting for the train the man also came down to the platform as they were waiting for the train, he could not hold it anymore as the pain became too severe. He sat down crying and holding his chest, no longer able to walk, breathing deeply and gasping for air.<\/p>\n

Immediately,\u00a0Maduabuchi rushed to him and held him upright, checked his vital signs and told him\u00a0to\u00a0lie down flat. The ill passenger was found holding his chest and sweat profusely. Maduabuchi opened up the patient’s shirt for air and positioned his head to try and help him breathe more comfortably.<\/p>\n

He observed there was no breathing, so he immediately\u00a0began CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation) on the man.\u00a0He continued the CPR steps, performing cycles of chest compressions<\/a> and breathing until the man exhibited signs of life, by breathing.\u00a0He massaged the passenger’s head, limbs, and cooled the head with some mineral water.<\/p>\n

After a while, the passenger felt better and was eventually able to walk normally. He also expressed his great thanks to\u00a0Maduabuchi<\/span> and the station staff.<\/p>\n

On July 10th, Maduabuchi was awarded the title of ‘Most Honourable Passenger’ by Nanning Rail.<\/p>\n

“I am a medical student. I don’t want to see any patient in pain. This was my first patient, I hope I can help more people in the future.” Maduabuchi said. He has been studying clinical medicine at Guangxi Medical University for 6 years and has now been able to put his studies into practice.<\/p>\n
