در خیابان یوسف آباد (تهران این پسر وسط خیابان بی?حال افتاده بود و نفس سخت می?کشید و ....
خیلی از مردم اصلاً اون را نمیدیدن و حتی وقتی از حال میرفت از کنارش رد میشدن، با اورژانس تهران تماس گرفتم و خوشبختانه خیلی سریع رسیدن.
کمی بیشتر به همدیگه توجه کنیم🙏🏽
In Yousef Abad Street (Tehran) this boy was lying in the middle of the street and was breathing hard.
Many people did not see her and even when she was passing by, I called the Tehran Emergency and luckily it was very fast.
Let's pay more attention to each other

I don't think she'd risk her reputation by posting something false. And Google translator seems to have a problem with pronouns.

(102,360 posts)because so many won't care (Trumpsters) because it is "Iran"... But even more so because so many in this country are vulnerable. It is not impossible we could see this here or at least the possibility of finding the ill and isolated dead in their homes with no insurance access to health care or those to care for them.

I do hope all these horrific videos are staged, but...well, I think were fixing to find out how real they are on our on streets
