A train passenger whose nose was bleeding heavily and in desperate need of treatment was lucky enough to be on the same trip as a group of 55 doctors.

On the D1925 high-speed train running from Yan'an in Shaanxi province to Chengdu in Sichuan province on Tuesday, the nose of a passenger began bleeding heavily.

With the situation urgent, attendants anxiously looked for doctors onboard.

Fortunately, 55 medical workers from West China Hospital of Sichuan University were also passengers.

After learning about the symptoms of the passenger from train attendants, a temporary medical team of five doctors rushed to his car.

Through a preliminary diagnosis, they concluded the passenger's nosebleed was caused by a fracture of a blood vessel in the nose induced by high blood pressure.

They treated the passenger immediately and stopped the bleeding. Shortly afterwards, the blood pressure of the man was also brought under control.

The man then got off the train at the next station to seek further treatment.

It was later learned the 55 medical workers were on their way back to Chengdu after finishing a training course in Yan'an.

Many passengers on board applauded the quick response of the medics. And comments poured in on social-networking platform Sina Weibo expressing appreciation for the passenger's luck.

"What a lucky man! He must have saved the galaxy in his previous lifetime," one commenter said, tongue firmly in cheek.
