We are all well aware of the fact that modern smartphones and tablets are bad for kids. Sometimes, though, they can be good. This is not a commercial from one of the tech giants, but a real-life story. Although, don’t be surprised if they use it somehow.

5-year-old Priya Galvin saw her mom Mary collapsing from a terrible stroke, and the first thing that came to her mind is to call her dad. She took the family iPad and called him via FaceTime, telling him that mom wasn’t feeling well. Mary was quickly taken to the Cork University Hospital, Ireland, performed a thrombectomy and saved her life. Now, Mary is well and together with her family in their home.

When Liam Healy, a CUH’s Consultant geriatrician and the clinical lead for stroke services shared this story on twitter, people were full of praises for a great job that the doctors did, and for brave little Priya. Then the praises turned to relief because this happened in Ireland, and not in the United States, where this family would have difficulties to cover the medical expenses.
