A nurse rescuing an accident victim wouldn’t have meant so much elsewhere, but in a country where social restrictions are placed on women, and Sharia law forbids close association between opposite sexes, a woman saving a man can be considered an act of bravery. The Saudi nurse has been hailed a hero after she rescued a young man following a road accident. Salwa Juma Al Khobairi was in a car on the Madina-Khaybar highway in western Saudi Arabia when she saw a crowd of people around a man who was bleeding as a result of an accident.
