The incident happened at around 10pm on August 2. While visiting the ancient town of Hoa Lu, Ms. Hoa suddenly saw many people gathered in a crowd, shouting. Running closer, she discovered an unconscious tourist lying on the ground.

Immediately, with the instinct of a medical staff, she approached the victim, checked and found the carotid and femoral pulses were lost, and urgently performed external cardiac compressions to save the patient's life.

Thanks to her skillful skills, calmness and determination, she helped the victim restore circulation and regain life before local medical forces arrived.
