Mangaluru: In another incident, a passenger suffered a heart attack while traveling on a bus, and was then rushed directly to the hospital on Monday. Unfortunately, the individual passed away en route.
On Monday morning at around 8:30 AM, a person who boarded the Pereira bus at Kottara Chowki, traveling from Mangaluru to Manipal, collapsed about 300 meters later at Kodikal Cross. Assistant Professor Linette from a nursing college in Kaup, who was also on the bus, provided first aid as the person was unable to speak.
Upon realizing it was a heart attack, the bus was taken directly to Mukka Hospital.
Thought It Was Fits
Bus conductor Anil told ‘Udayavani,’ “The person collapsed onto another passenger’s shoulder immediately after boarding the bus. We initially thought it was fits (seizures). We decided to rush him to the hospital as soon as we realized it might be a heart attack. The hospital staff helped us admit him immediately.”
Bus driver Ravi added, “He used to travel on our bus before the COVID-19 period. I hadn’t seen him since.”
First Aid Provided
Linette stated that CPR was administered immediately after the person collapsed from the heart attack, but there was no response. The decision was made to rush him to the hospital immediately.
A similar incident occurred on July 30th, where a bus was taken directly to a hospital in Kankanady after a female student experienced chest pain.
