It was very weak, but she still had a pulse,” nurse Raisa Dias told Brazilian television network Domingo Espetacular on Sunday.Dias was pushed onto steep, muddy terrain, injuring her hands in the process. “I scraped my hand all over because there was such a steep slope up there and only one rope we could go down.
Everything was covered in mud. I kept going down. “We walked all the way,” she said.When I reached the victim, I spoke to her. “I have a habit of joking and saying, ‘No one dies on my shift.’ I told her, ‘Doda [Eduarda]No one dies on my shift. “Even though I wasn’t on my shift there,” Dias said.
