Jako Rakhe Saiyan Maar Sake na Koye (If God protects you no one can harm you.)

On 18 th Nov Amritsar was struck by a tragedy which took many innocent likes. The bomb attack left everybody shocked. We are happy to share that we could save the life of one victim due to timely action. She is a mother of two small children and had sustained several pellet injuries to face and chest. One small pellet had pierced her chest wall and made a small hole in her main artery- the aorta. She was bleeding and the blood collection was pressing her heart. We took her for emergency surgery and repaired her aorta. She made good recovery and is back with her loved one's. We thank Him for his blessings on the family.

The Man with a big heart!
While appreciated by the society at large, we cardiac surgeons are weary of a person with a big heart! Like this gentleman of 32 yrs with a heart valve leakage for several years. His heart had increased to nearly double the size of normal, he was bedridden with jaundice and swelling all over body. According to surgery guidelines he would have a minimal chance of surviving the operation. His only option was valve replacement or a heart transplant. Denied surgery by many, citing high risk ,he was left to languish. With good intention in our heart we took the challenge. His village came to his help collected funds we did our little bit. With his grace he is back on his feet. Should be able to lead a full productive life. His wife and two children are happy. He has proved the scientific guidelines wrong!
