‘Save her first’: China expectant mum relinquishes surgery room slot to bleeding pregnant woman
Woman with no identification arrives in ambulance at busy hospital soaked in blood, doctors perform emergency surgery, she lives but loses baby
A pregnant woman in eastern China gave up her prepared operating room to save another expectant mother suffering massive bleeding.
A video of the emergency “life-and-death relay” in Weifang, Shandong province, has gone viral on mainland social media.
According to People’s Daily, the story unfolded at Weifang People’s Hospital, where an unnamed expectant mother was waiting in the operating room fully prepared for surgery.
She had fasted for nearly two hours before the procedure while her unborn baby kicked restlessly in her womb.
At the same time, a taxi carrying a critically ill pregnant woman screeched into the hospital’s emergency entrance.
