हो, उहाँ होसमा हुनुहुन्छ तर धेरै पसिना आइरहेको छ। छातीमा निचोड्ने जस्तो दुखाइ छ भन्नुहुन्छ।

Does the patient have any heart medication like aspirin or a GTN spray? If they have aspirin, give them three hundred milligrams to chew.

It should arrive within eight to ten minutes. Keep the patient still and comfortable. Unlock the front door so paramedics can get in quickly.
