Nurse saves Dublin bus driver's life

Apparently, only if its a nice looking dog.

Well done to that girl . Not only did she save him but stopped the bus rolling into danger .

It might shock some of the weirdos on here but she might actually enjoy the compliments on her appearance

Like women do in the real world

She is a dinger in fairness....

I think the point is that based on her actions there are plenty of other adjectives that you could focus on, rather than boiling it down to ones focused on her appearance, which doesn't really have anything to do with her heroic deed.

Fair play to her. She had the skills to help and did. That's all any of us can do.

That’s unquestionably true, however if you hadn’t known all the details and clicked on the link (like I did), the first three photos in the article are of an attractive young woman dressed up as if socializing (before anyone jumps on it, she’s welcome to dress like that to do the gardening for all I care). Maybe a story focusing on her medical skills could have you know, had a picture of her as an actual nurse-especially since they appear to have scraped here social media for pictures: what are the odds there was nothing available there more in line with the article?

Of course that could just be symptomatic of a wider “toxic” “patriarchical”, (insert adjective) culture.

Except the journalist who wrote the piece is a woman.....

So maybe we shouldn’t be so quick to hate on folks here who too quickly reacted exactly as the story was designed to have them do. To my mind there’s probably two things we might want to debate, a wonderful act by a skilled nurse, and fairly lowbrow and gutterish journalism techniques

Was thinking the same things. Especially the latter.

Jesus Christ lads, she saved a life, which is pretty much the peak of what you can do as a human being and the only things we can say are "Hello Nurse" , "Sexy Legend" "Would bang" , Wouldn't bang" ?

As a guy I can honestly say that it's a grim insight into the male psyche these days.

'these days'

You think it's a new thing?

Otherwise I fully agree with you

Nurse does her job. That's what she's trained for.



No fair play to her , well done . If it was a Garda the comments would be the above no doubt

If an off duty Garda saved a life I would equally say Well Done . A little appreciation goes a long way and doesn't cost anything

Don't you know.

We live in a society where only stun huns and gays are allowed make innuendous comments about attractive people's appearances without getting censure.

Her quick thinking deserves all the publicity it gets. From my experience (however fleeting) of Dublin Bus, I wonder how many passengers were too ensconsed in their phones or had their headphones in not to even realise there was a medical emergency with the driver. And had it resulted in a collision, how many of them would be claiming compensation?

I would quite happily let her take a series of heavy compressions on my chest.

Boston pancake.

I wouldn't have thought you'd be the type to be honest!

She might make a career in "media" like that other nurse, Abi Titmuss, did. She could concentrate on the lads market

In all my experiences of nurses in different hospitals they are just brilliant professionals but also empathetic and caring.

I get nervous trying to fix my phone but these people can dig in and fix people!

Only attractive nurses would get the media attention and media attention leads to being nominated for bravery award the day after driver has heart attack.
If nurse was middle aged with no make up on it would be nothing to see here.
Has anyone mentioned the bus driver and how hes doing, is he white, male, straight, nothing to see here either.

You're trying to make this into something it isn't.
Sounds like you just have a problem with attractive women in general, being honest.
Regardless of whether they are heroic or not.

Administering CPR is exhausting. If there was no one else to take over for a while she'd have been banjaxed, she's due her dues.

I do think the media are making a meal of it though.

There was also a Garda involved in administering cpr on the driver, he was hardly mentioned.
