A big scare with a happy ending Fortunately I have never had any serious accident but I have been witness to some of them. Today, I am going to tell once where I really felt powerless and frustrated although I did everything I could and I think that it was worth the effort. That happened in a supermarket 15 years ago. I remember I was in the fruit aisle when suddenly someone started to scream. I got closer although I felt petrified when I saw that woman lying on the floor/ collapsed and a lovely ten-year-old girl by her. The first thing I did hastlily was to call the emergency services while I was checking whether she was breathing or not. So I knelt next to that unconcious woman and fortunately I checked that she was breathing, at least, she did it at the beginning. The second thing that I did was to tilt her head backwards so that her tongue wasn't blocking her airway. I asked the girl what had happened but she was so scared that she couldn't stop trembling. When she managed to calm down she was able to tell me that a few minutes earlier than her mother passed out, she had been complaining about a sudden pain in her chest, back and arm. Definitely, I knew that she was having/suffering a heart attack. Suddenly, the mother got worse and stopped breathing. I realized that she was suffering another stronger attack but I didn't want to tell the truth to that poor girl, I felt even much more scared than she was at that moment. While we were waiting for the emergency services I began to performanced a CPR on her so I learnt how to do it long time ago when I worked in the hospital. I thought the sooner I did it, the better. Finally, the emergency services arrived in time and they managed to save her life and she was taken to the hospital. I learnt she came round as soon as the doctors gave her the proper treatment and she recovered quickly.
