Recently, the Langfa Emergency Station of the Beijing 120 Daxing Branch received a dispatch order: “A cyclist has fallen while avoiding a vehicle at an intersection. He cannot move his right leg, and he has abrasions on his face and arm. Immediate medical assistance is required.” The emergency team departed for the scene at once.

On the way, the physician had already called the on-site contact, speaking with calm urgency: “Please confirm again. Is he conscious? Is there any active bleeding?” Shortly afterward, the ambulance arrived. Through the window, the crew assessed that the scene was safe and under control. Carrying emergency equipment, they quickly got out and headed straight toward the injured cyclist. The emergency doctor crouched beside him and called softly, “Sir, can you hear me? Please try moving your fingers.” Another team member placed warning cones around them to secure the rescue area. In the dim light, the patient’s face was smeared with dirt and blood, his nose was still oozing slightly, and he grimaced whenever his right leg moved. “Stay calm. We’ll take care of you first,” the rescuers reassured him while cleaning his wounds with saline and applying pressure to stop the bleeding. After confirming that there were no severe head or spinal injuries, the team worked together carefully, supporting his shoulders, back, and leg as they lifted him steadily onto the stretcher.

The ambulance started quickly and sped toward the receiving hospital. During transport, the emergency crew continuously monitored the patient’s condition, keeping close watch on his heart rate and blood pressure and checking on him frequently.

When the ambulance reached the emergency department entrance, hospital staff—already informed and waiting—rushed forward. “The patient is conscious. He has facial and arm abrasions, nasal bleeding controlled, and limited mobility in the right leg. Further evaluation needed…” the emergency doctor reported swiftly and thoroughly during the handover. After escorting the patient inside for further treatment, the 120 crew finally felt assured, returning to their station to stand by for the next urgent call.

A reminder from Beijing 120:
Of the many roads ahead, safety comes first;
Fasten your helmet and slow down at intersections.
Signal your turns—shine bright when riding at night;
Follow traffic rules to stay safe and enjoy the ride.
If an emergency occurs, stay calm and don’t panic;
If someone is injured, call 120 immediately!
