She asked her colleagues to inform the emergency department and the doctors in the clinic.

Some acupoints, such as Renzhong (GV26), Hegu (LI4) and Neiguan (PC6) were applied to awaken the brain and open the orifices for the patient. The nurse quickly put on oxygen inhalation for the patient and prepared to open the venous access.

Through 43 seconds of quick response, first aid and integrative medicine treatment, the patient with epilepsy history finally recovered and was discharged home.
