A family dining at a Singapore restaurant saved the life of a chef experiencing a severe asthma attack. The chef's condition deteriorated rapidly, leading to a cardiac arrest. Fortunately, the family members, including a medical student and an oncologist, sprang into action, performing CPR until paramedics arrived.
A family reunion dinner at a Singapore an restaurant turned into a life-saving situation when a chef suffered a severe asthma attack . Alex, a 23-year-old medical student, was in the restroom when he noticed the chef, who appeared to be in his 60s, struggling to breathe. Alex helped the chef sit up and administered his inhaler, but his condition worsened. Alex's father kept watch over the chef while he contacted his uncle, an oncologist named Siow Tian Rui.
The situation grew more critical as the chef's pulse weakened and eventually stopped. Without hesitation, Alex's father and uncle began performing CPR for 15 minutes until paramedics arrived. Alex is unsure if the chef was conscious during transportation to the hospital, but his heart was beating. The chef is currently receiving treatment in stable condition. The incident highlights the importance of bystander intervention and basic life-saving skills. Many organizations in Singapore, including the Singapore Red Cross and the Singapore Heart Foundation, offer courses to equip the public with emergency response training. They teach CPR, the use of automated external defibrillators (AEDs), and other crucial skills that could potentially save lives. In a separate event in May 2024, a doctor undergoing cardiac arrest during a tennis match was saved by his fellow tennis partners, who were also doctors. Incidents like these underscore the critical role that timely medical intervention can play in ensuring survival.
