Kanhangad: A nurse traveling in the Parasuram Express proved to be an angel, bringing a co-passenger who suffered a heart attack back to life. It was Rosamma, a staff nurse at the District Hospital here, who turned savior for Sahadevan and a role model for others. Sahadevan was traveling from Kannur to Kozhikode.
On reaching Vadakara, there was a commotion in the train. Though Rosamma paid no heed to it initially, she realized the situation was serious when someone shouted whether there was any doctor in the train. Professional instinct led Rosamma to rush to the area in the compartment where a crowd had gathered. She saw Sahadevan immobile and realized he had a heart attack. Checking his pulse, she found that it was very weak and immediately started CPR.
Slowly, Sahadevan opened his eyes and his pulse picked up. Some passengers informed the railway authorities at Kozhikode of the incident and when the train reached the station, a wheel-chair and other arrangements were ready for Sahadevan. Two police personnel were there to take him to hospital. Rosamma too accompanied them to a leading private hospital in the city.
That Rosamma took on the role of a good Samaritan while rushing to Kozhikode after being informed about an emergency surgery on her brother-in-law made her rescue effort an exemplary act.
