These Students Tried Saving Their Professor ๐
A student recounts the traumatic experience of trying to save their professor Kronoshov after he was shot, describing administering first aid, using a tourniquet to stop severe bleeding, and helping transport him until emergency responders arrived.
Summary
This is a first-person account of a shooting incident involving a professor named Kronoshov and a student's heroic efforts to save his life. The narrator describes finding the professor after he had been shot in the upper leg, witnessing him collapse against a wall before falling to the ground. The student immediately took action, grabbing the professor as he fell and conducting a body assessment that revealed a single gunshot wound high up in the leg that was causing severe, potentially fatal bleeding. Working with other students, the narrator used a belt as an improvised tourniquet to try to control the hemorrhaging. The professor regained consciousness briefly during treatment, attempting to get up despite his injuries, which the student prevented while reassuring him that help was coming. When police officers arrived - described as one male and one female officer, with the female appearing shocked by the scene - the group worked together to carry the wounded professor down two flights of stairs to meet the arriving ambulance. During transport, the professor regained consciousness again and was able to speak, asking for his 'halo' while the student continued to comfort and reassure him. The narrator emphasizes the severity of the situation by describing being covered in blood from shoes to chest and hands to elbows, illustrating the massive blood loss and traumatic nature of the incident.
