A DOCTOR who was taking a bath rushed nakedly to rescue her colleague who got an electric shock, the Daily Sunshine reported Thursday (June 9th).

The doctor, surnamed Tang, heard her neighbor Doctor Chen scream in a next-door bathroom at about 11 p.m. Sunday when she was having a bath in her clinic's dormitory building in Pingshan Subdistrict, Longgang. She thought Chen must be in danger after he did not respond when she called out for him.

Tang rushed out of the bathroom in such a hurry that she forgot to put on clothes. After the security guards broke the door, she found Chen lying unconscious and stopping breathing with the shower head in his hand.

Tang asked security guards to cut off the electricity and began artificial respiration on Chen. Chen's heart began to beat again about five minutes later.

Chen could not have been saved if his heart beat had stopped for more than eight minutes, Tang said. Tang said her first instinct was to save Chen and she did not even think about being naked.

Chen was still in recovery.
