Medicine Octavi Pujades: "I have never regretted leaving Medicine although my parents were extremely upset"
The quick action of actor
Octavi Pujades
(49), who was in the area, saved the life of a man named
José María Pujol
, seriously injured after suffering a
motorcycle accident
that almost cost him his life, since in addition to assisting with the
first aid,
he notified the emergency services. It was on September 24, during
a motorcycle ride
a few meters from Dr. Fleming Street in Barcelona where the event took place. The young man was left lying on the ground, very dazed, and
losing a lot of blood.
At that moment, the actor's intervention
saved the victim's life.
It was Octavi who, with the help of another teenager who was in the area, managed to
stop the bleeding
while the emergency services were notified.

Now, months after the accident and after identifying the actor,
José María wanted to thank him
publicly through a message on his social networks: "Today, I had the pleasure of being able to
thank
Octavi in person for saving me ( literal) life. If he had not been at the right time and in the right place,
I probably would not be here.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart Octavi. And thanks to the teenager for not having hesitated to
offer his sweatshirt.
(Which I hope he had could be washed and can continue using)".
In fact, the Urban Police have highlighted that the actor's
quick action
saved the victim's life, since, in these cases, every minute counts. "He asked if anyone had anything with which he could
stop the bleeding
and a teenager who was in the area quickly offered his sweatshirt. Octavi
pressed hard
on the cut on the neck with the sweatshirt to stop the bleeding and gain maximum time. Thank you. Thank goodness, after a few minutes the urban guard arrived, who assisted me following Octavi's instructions and later
the ambulance arrived,"
Pujol writes.

For his part, Pujades has also remembered this moment: "There was not a day in which he did not ask me
what had happened to him;
every day he passed by Diagonal and saw the shadow of the
blood stain on the asphalt.
We met,
"We have hugged each other
and toasted second chances and what really matters.
Long life, José María.
You deserve it."
Likewise, the actor has taken the opportunity to talk about the importance of having first aid knowledge: "How important it would be
for us all to be trained in first aid
to respond in these situations", since thanks to his maneuver, the actor has saved the life to a person.
