Only because of people like them, the world is still alive
This is the real story of a family that took place recently. Parents are doctors…and they had a son named Jithenthran. On 09/24/2008, he took his father’s bike for seeing his friend and while return he met with an accident. The people there known to him admitted him at Chengelpattu hospital. Then they informed his parents and they took him to Teynampet Apollo hospital. There the doctors examined him and said that his brain has lost all his senses and there is no way to give him life.
Without controlling the sadness the parents understood the fact and they decided to donate his organs to the people. First, his eyes were given to Sankara Nethralaya, then his kidney was given to Apollo hospital for transplantation and at last here comes the final ever heard miracle. They decided to give his heart to a 6 year old boy who needs it. So they verified and at last found that the boy is struggling for life at Cherians heart foundation, Chennai. But within 30mins that heart should be transplanted; they needed to go 20kms and in Chennai traffic and doubted whether it will happen. Then the doctors called traffic police and asked their help and they prepared the ambulance with A/C.
So fast they removed the heart from their son and kept it in an ice box and ran towards the ambulance. When they came out the boy’s father saw that ice box and cried. The doctor who carried the box ran as nothing else existed that he didn’t even see the ambulance which was waiting outside and instead he entered the police car which was waiting. He said to the person to just go to Cherian hospital soon. The person who was standing near the car was the Assistant Commissioner and he without seeing his status and jumped to driver’s seat and drove the car with full speed. Every traffic signal was kept on alert and left way for this car and at last within 15mins the heart was given to the doctors in Cherian hospital and it was transplanted to the small boy. Really heart touching…. Does any one know the meaning of the name of the boy who died…. His name is Jithenthran - a person who will steal other’s heart…………..Yes , now he has stolen everyone’s heart….. Really … hats off to the parents who sacrificed what was left of their son. God Bless you parents.
God Bless You
