The behavior of a wife during the sudden health deterioration of an elderly man in Lucknow has sparked discussion on social media. The husband had collapsed on the street due to chest pain, while people nearby were gathering to help and a constable was attempting to save his life by performing CPR. In this situation, the wife commented, 'I told you not to pick up potatoes, you are too hasty.' Some people present at the scene were surprised to hear her say this.
This incident reportedly occurred near the Mahanagar Chowk in the afternoon. Anil, aged 60, was returning home with his wife after buying vegetables from the market. During this time, he suddenly felt severe chest pain and fell onto the road, causing the bag of vegetables in his hand to drop.
Due to this unexpected incident, people gathered around, and seeing the elderly man's deteriorating condition, they came forward to help. Constable Sandeep Yadav, posted at the Rahimnagar Police Post, arrived at the scene and immediately started assisting the elderly man by administering CPR. This effort continued for a long time. Later, movement was seen in the elderly man's body. The viral video shows that when the constable stood up after performing CPR, the wife was saying, 'I told you not to pick up potatoes, you are too hasty.' Some people present advised her to remain calm regarding this comment.
CPR, which stands for Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation, is an emergency procedure. It is performed when a person's heart stops beating, and efforts are made to maintain blood circulation by pressing on the chest. Obtaining prompt assistance in such a serious situation is extremely necessary. According to those present, the constable continuously pressed on the elderly man's chest, resulting in activity in the elderly man's body after some time. Those present breathed a sigh of relief and called an ambulance to take the elderly man to a nearby hospital. Doctors stated that if the constable had not provided primary treatment (CPR) in time, the situation could have been very serious. Local residents are praising the promptness and humanitarian initiative of Constable Sandeep Yadav.
The initial minutes matter greatly in cardiac emergencies. If a person suddenly collapses and shows no normal reaction, they require immediate emergency assistance. If they are not breathing normally, CPR can be helpful in saving their life. In this Lucknow incident, Constable Sandeep Yadav performed exactly this action, which local people are appreciating.
