SAHIWAL: The rescuers helped a 9th class student complete her exam after she fainted at the MC Girls High School, Pakpattan, the other day.

Abida Hussain was sitting the last paper of the Board of Intermediate and Secondary Education, Sahiwal, when she fainted as her blood pressure shot up.

The centre superintendent called Rescue 1122 and the girl was examined in the corridor of the examination centre by the rescuers. After the treatment by the rescuers, the girl came to senses and she was administered medicine through intravenous (IV) infusion to further control blood pressure.

Abida wanted to leave her paper but the rescuers, Muhammad Muaz and Abid Hussain, encouraged her not to leave it.

The centre superintendent also gave her permission to take the exam with the drip attached to her. To boost her confidence, the rescuers decided not to leave but they stood by her while picking the drip bottle as the stand was not available there.

The rescuers reportedly stood by the girl for one-and-a-half hours until she completed her exam. Later, she was shifted along with family to Mohallah Said Jalal in Pakpattan city.
