A PREGNANT WOMAN COLLAPSED TO THE GROUND, AND THOSE AROUND JUST STOOD AND WATCHED, WONDERING IF IT WAS SOME KIND OF PRANK. ๐ฎ๐ฎ๐ฎ
The woman was standing alone at the station, wearing a thin coat and holding her belly with one hand. Then, all of a sudden, she let out a groan and dropped to her knees.
โ "Look, the drama begins," someone muttered from the back of the line.
โ "Maybe she just felt faint," said another.
And that was it. No one lifted a finger.
I was the first to approach, but I didnโt know what to do. Her face was as white as a lemon, her whole body was trembling, and her forehead was covered in sweat.
Her voice was weak, her breathing ragged. I looked around. One person was filming, another kept eating without even looking up. And then he appeared.
The man knelt beside her. He spoke calmly, with a steady voice โ no panic, no hesitation.
โ "Contractions every four minutes? Okay. No problem. Iโm here with you."
โ "Who are you, actually?" I asked.
โ "Former paramedic. Yes โ Iโve been to prison."
A minute later, he was clearly and precisely giving the ambulance the address, not missing a beat.
