Guided by a Doctor Over Video Call
The man, visibly shaken but determined, said in the video, “It’s the first time I’ve done something like this. I was scared, but a madam helped me over a video call.” With the doctor’s guidance and the support of fellow passengers, he successfully delivered the baby before medical help arrived.
Eyewitnesses revealed that the woman’s family had earlier been turned away by a nearby hospital, forcing them to return to the train. “It’s shameful that a hospital refused to help a mother in such a situation,” the post added.
