Many medical professionals sacrifice a lot to ensure the health and safety of their patients, and many often go above and beyond to do so. In fact, some of them even rush to save lives even when they’re not on duty like this woman recently did on her wedding day.

According to Shanghaiist, a nurse surnamed Xie from Dalian, China, jumped out of her car to rush to administer first aid to a woman who had just met with a traffic accident on the 18th of August.
