Woman at Mount Tai suffers sudden allergic asthma attack; mother says she was struggling to breathe
It turned out that two days ago, Ms. Wang from Zibo had brought her daughter Xiaoli to Mount Tai for a trip, planning to spend the night at Riguang Peak to watch the sunrise. Unexpectedly, her daughter suddenly fell ill and collapsed on the spot. In this critical moment, Ms. Wang called the 119 emergency number.
"It was very serious. She was having trouble breathing at the time, I had to help her breathe. Her eyes were so swollen she couldn’t open them, and her mouth wouldn’t open either. The bumps on her body were bigger than the nails on my fingers." As she described her daughter Xiaoli’s condition, tears welled up in Ms. Wang’s eyes.
Allergic asthma requires immediate medical attention, but it was around 1 a.m. at the time, and the location was at the mountaintop. Ms. Wang dialed the 119 emergency number.
Midnight: Firefighters scale mountain paths, take turns carrying stretcher to save patient
After receiving the emergency call, the Mount Tai Firefighting Squadron immediately dispatched 10 firefighters for an urgent rescue mission. It was dark and windy, with steep mountain paths, yet the 10 firefighters took turns carrying the stretcher down the mountain.
Ms. Wang said while wiping away her tears, "It was really not easy. Those kids took turns carrying my daughter." Xiaoli also said with tears in her eyes, "They even comforted me, saying we’re almost there. I was truly moved."
Most touching moment: Climbing 1.5 km of mountain path at midnight in just 12 minutes
From Riguang Peak to the cable car station, the firefighters covered the steep 1.5 km mountain path in just 12 minutes. By the time Xiaoli was descending via the cable car, the 120 ambulance was already waiting at the foot of the mountain. After emergency treatment, she quickly recovered from danger.
"It was their hard work and exhaustion that gave my daughter a second chance at life." Ms. Wang’s words are no exaggeration, as acute attacks of allergic asthma are extremely dangerous, and spring is the peak season for such attacks.
