Chandigarh 23rd August:- The brave heart family of deceased Bhag
Singh gave the greatest gift anyone can give a second lease of life to two
patients and enabling two more patients to see for the first time in their
lives, thereby impacting four lives, through their selfless and
magnanimous act of organ donation of their dear one, 43 year old deceased Bhag
Singh, here at PGI today.
On
August 13th, the deceased, a resident of Mandi, Himachal
Pradesh was brought to PGI in an extremely critical condition following a intra
ventricular hemorrhage and was being treated in the Neuro-Surgery department of
PGI. However, despite best of the efforts by the attending doctors, Bhag Singh
could not be saved and was declared brain dead on 20th August.
It was
then the transplant coordinator raised the matter of organ donation with Smt.
Champa Devi, wife of the deceased Bhag Singh, who gave her consent for the
same, following which kidneys and corneas were retrieved from the deceased.
The
family gathered around the operation theater described the deceased
as a ‘kind and benevolent man’ who always believed in helping others and
doing good for others. Champa Devi, wife of the deceased Bhag Singh said
that even in his death, he has done the same what he lived for by helping the
lives of four others. He will continue to live amongst us through them.
Dr. Pankaj Arora, Acting Nodal Officer,
ROTTO PGI, expressing his gratitude stated that he think you develop a
different level of respect for the donor family, for their spirit of
unconditional love amidst their own pain. There cannot be a better teaching in
humanity than organ donation. The way, Smt. Champa Devi supported the cause is
very magnanimous indeed. We salute the donor family.
Sharing her experience, the transplant
coordinator Ramandeep said that she think being educated herself and efforts of
the attending doctors to acquaint her about the prognosis of the disease
enabled Smt. Champa Devi, give consent for her husband’s organ donation braving
her own tragedy.
Sarita (name changed), the daughter of
one of the kidney recipients knew that the chances of her father surviving
debilitating kidney ailment for long was zero without a kidney
transplant. An emotional Sarita said that her father got that chance today with
a kidney transplant at PGI as a result of the courageous decision made by the
brave-heart wife of Bhag Singh. She can’t thank the donor family
enough.
