A dramatic rescue hailed as a "miracle of Moses" saved a newborn baby just two days old. The baby was rescued 18 minutes after being alerted while being 50 minutes away.
A newborn baby, just two days old, was saved in what can be described as a "miracle of Moses" after being rapidly transported from a hospital in Seongnam, Gyeonggi-do, to a nearby hospital in Hongseong, Chungcheongnam-do. This rescue was made possible by the cooperation of police escorts, citizens, and ambulance crews. The ordeal occurred on a Friday evening, around 6 PM, when heavy traffic congestion caused severe delays on the route between the two hospitals, approximately 14 kilometers apart.
The ambulance driver requested police escort and, after the police arrived and began guiding the vehicle, drivers on the road ahead stopped their vehicles to make way for the ambulance. This allowed the ambulance to reach the hospital's emergency room just 18 minutes after leaving the first hospital. The police stated that the baby was successfully treated in the intensive care unit and is in stable condition.
The ambulance driver expressed gratitude in a comment on the police's YouTube channel, praising the assistance provided by the police and citizens. The driver noted that the police were the only ones who could have assisted in such a critical situation, given the baby's respiratory distress and the need for quick transport. The driver also expressed appreciation to the citizens who allowed the ambulance to pass, enabling the team to adhere to its schedule.
The ambulance driver shared the video of the rescue on the 'Private Emergency Medical Services Team' YouTube channel, which included a comment from a parent named Kim G., thanking everyone involved for their efforts, which were described as "a miracle" that saved the baby's life.
