Paging Doctor Bachelet (again)

Chilean president Michelle Bachelet interrupted her speech to attend to a woman who collapsed nearby. Bachelet- who graduated as an M.D. before entering politics- took care of the woman who fainted under the intense heat in the Chilean capital of Santiago. According to the Chile's La Tercera, the woman was taken to a local hospital while Bachelet returned to her speech defending the government’s social policies.

This has not been the first time Bachelet has sprung into action over a nearby medical emergency; in February, she helped a boy who fainted and fell of a stage where she had been speaking (image).
