TAIPEI (Taiwan News)–A reporter took to Facebook on Sunday to thank a former
volunteer firefighter for saving his life when he was seriously injured and nearly died in a traffic accident in May this year.
SET News reporter Fu Chia-ching (傅家慶) was riding a scooter on a street in Zhonghe District, New Taipei City in the morning of May 4 when he was involved in a crash. The impact reportedly broke Fu’s right femoral artery, causing him to bleed profusely and lose spontaneous breathing and heartbeat for 23 minutes.
Recounting the moment between life and death, Fu said that a motorcyclist was riding through the accident scene when “he saw me lying in a pool of blood, he had no fear; he began to put the first aid training he had received into use and performed CPR on me” until emergency medical responders arrived.
“It’s your professionalism and courage that made the miracle of my revival possible,” Fu said. [FULL STORY]
