Kannur doctor bride pauses wedding to give first aid to caterers

Dr Shirin Subair, a first-year MD student in Emergency Medicine, paused her wedding ceremony in Kannur to provide first aid to two catering women who fell sick at the event. One woman had a nosebleed and the other felt dizzy. Someone at the venue asked Shirin, who was in her bridal attire, to help.

Shirin instructed the woman with the nosebleed to lean forward and pinch her nose for 10 to 15 minutes. She made the woman who felt faint lie down with her legs elevated. The doctor said basic first aid was given before deciding if hospital care was needed. Her husband Dr Rijaz, an orthopaedics postgraduate, said emergency specialists react quickly to such situations.

Shirin said she did not consider her actions extraordinary and stressed the importance of basic first-aid awareness. The video of the incident went viral on social media, but the doctor said she had not noticed anyone recording it at the time.
