Eyewitnesses reported that the woman began to feel dizzy and collapsed, but Dr. Prasad, along with another individual in the queue, acted swiftly to prevent her from falling further.

Taking to X Dr. Prasad write, “As I was waiting in queue….one lady had syncope and cardiac arrest in front of me. There was no pulse and I started immediate CPR … luckily she got ROSC within minutes.”
