”I have to arrive to work” - First words of man who woke up after cardiac arrest in China

A man who collapsed at a train station after suffering a heart attack regained consciousness but refused to be taken to hospital, saying he "had to arrives to work", sparking shock.
According to the South China Morning Post (SCMP) on the 11th (local time),
A man in his 40s, Mr. A, was waiting in line to board a train on the platform at a railway station in Changsha, Hunan Province, when he suddenly collapsed.
Staff waiting at the station and a doctor from a nearby large hospital were called to the scene and immediately began administering first aid, which took about 20 minutes.
After a life-or-death struggle, Mr. A finally regained consciousness. However, everyone was shocked by the first words he uttered immediately after waking up. He said, "I have to go to work," and told the staff that he was going to be taken to the hospital.
He refused further treatment. The doctor who was called to the scene said that he may have suffered a head injury when he hit his head on the floor when he fell, and emphasized that a detailed examination was required.
As a result, the man was eventually taken to the hospital in an ambulance. When this news spread, netizens commented, "When you wake up, the first thing you think about is making money.
"My heart aches when I think about it," "From loans to children's education expenses, the burden is too great. We are all living in a harsh reality," and they were impressed by the man's actions of worrying about his job even after he collapsed from a heart attack.
