Neslihan recounts what happened. "A woman was lying on the ground in the middle of a crowd after having been carried off of one of the rides. Her husband was shouting for help, but no one knew what to do. A few people, assuming that she had fainted, suggested slapping her cheeks. When I realized that there were no medical doctors around to help the victim, I decided to take control of the situation. I checked the woman's pulse and respiration, but I couldn't find any signs of life. I told the crowd to be silent and asked someone to turn off the music which was playing so that I could check for a pulse and breathing better. Then, recalling the several practice sessions that we had had on a dummy victim in our THS 161 class, I started to give the woman CPR. I was lucky that it only took four to five minutes to revive her. I was so happy."

When asked about the difficulty of giving artificial respiration, Neslihan replied, "I only focused on saving a life, I did not think about anything else." Dr. Nuriye Örer, Neslihan's instructor, commends her on applying the right method taught her in class, especially when she was the only one there able to give CPR (ideally two people give it).
