A DOCTOR who temporarily interrupted her own wedding ceremony to attend to a medical situation has been praised after the story went viral online, Makkal Osai reported.

Shereen Shubair was about to get married in Kannur city, located in India’s southern state of Kerala, when two women who were part of the catering crew for the ceremony fell unconscious.

One of them was suffering a nosebleed.

Word spread quickly through the wedding hall.

When Shereen got wind of the situation, she quickly jumped into action, putting the thaali tying ceremony on hold.

After the women were stabilised and began to feel better, Shereen went back to the wedding and completed the ritual.

Photos and videos of her in full wedding attire, jewellery and make-up administering first aid to the two women have since gone viral.
