Dr. Nwando Olayiwole is being heaped with praises for her timely intervention which has helped saved the life of her Lyft driver. Olayiwola who was reported as sleeping during the ride suddenly woke up, one look at the driver, she knew he was in distress and needed help immediately.
ABC reports that;
Olayiwola had been sleeping. The driver opened his window, seemed to be in distress and she recognized the signs -- a heart attack. Olayiwola instantly switched modes from passenger to doctor and told the driver to pull over. "He was moaning, writhing in pain."
She called 911, then called the driver's wife. In minutes, the Rodeo-Hercules Fire Department arrived and took 35-year-old Mir Peerzada to the hospital.
ABC affiliate station KGO-TV reached out to the driver Peerzada and this is what he had to say;
"I thank her a lot, she did her best," said Peerzada. "And my wife says thanks to her."
Dr. Nwando Olayiwo said;
"When I told my kids what happened, they said I am a hero," Olayiwola added. "I said I did what any good doctor should do. I feel like I saved his life," she said happily. "I know I saved his life. I saved his life."
