Oct 02, 2025
A hospital employee used CPR to save a woman who collapsed in the market.
At around 1 p.m. on September 13, a woman suddenly fell unconscious inside a store in Cheongnyang-ri Traditional Market in Dongdaemun-gu, Seoul.
People began to flock to the area, and Cho Hee-yoon, head of the medical cooperation team at Korea University Guro Hospital, who was passing there at the time, grasped the situation on the ground and began emergency measures. Team leader Cho made a video call with the paramedics to deliver the patient's condition, performed CPR until the paramedics arrived, and helped the patient be transferred to the hospital safely.
Team leader Cho Hee-yoon quietly left the scene after watching a patient who returned consciousness get into an ambulance, and after the situation stabilized, the patient and his family began to anxiously search for the missing benefactor. Family and fellow merchants visited Team Leader Cho by posting CCTV videos and stories on YouTube, but they could not find it until two weeks later. Based on his skillful handling of the scene, he assumed he was a nurse and contacted the Nurses Association, and the head of the nursing department at Korea University Guro Hospital recognized team leader Cho after seeing the photo taken on CCTV at the scene, and finally, the benefactor that the family was eagerly looking for was revealed.
The family is "Thank you very much for your help. I'm so thankful that I can't express it in any other words," he said.
Team leader Cho said, `It was helpful to receive CPR training for all employees periodically at the hospital, and as the head of the medical cooperation team, I have encountered CPR training programs every year for medical staff and employees of cooperative hospitals in the hospital.' `I think anyone would have done so in that situation. I hope that the patient will get well soon and that his family will have a happy holiday."
