Life Saving Advice

    Once myself and my friend while walking in the nearby sports ground of our residential area, my friend has got some breathing problem and was not able to walk. Of course, the walking path was somewhat steep. So, we stopped walking and went back home. Again, two consecutive days, he experienced the same problem. So, I suggested him to better go to doctor, find the reasons for the breathing problem, and advised him not to come for walking. After a couple of days, he again come for walking stating that within one week, his Birthday is coming, and after that he will go to check up with the Doctor. So, I became silent on his reasonable desire. But the same thing repeated on the next day also. So, I took him to the Doctor and got examined. The Doctor conducted all the needed tests for his problem and opined that there are 4 blocks in his Heart, therefore, got breathing problem while walking, and needed immediate Bypass surgery within a week. On hearing the advice of the Doctor, we felt very unhappy and didn’t know the reasons how this serious health issue happened to him. With the assistance of his wife, he again went to the Doctor and asked whether the operation can be done after 10 days as his Birthday is falling within a couple of days by then. The Doctor who heard his words, with smiling face and advised very smoothly, that if he GOT OPERATED IMMEDIATELY many numbers of Birthdays similar to coming Birthday can be celebrated and asked him to follow his advice scrupulously. My friend who got disgusted with the advice, cancelled all arrangements such as inviting friends, shopping, celebrating Poojas, arranging cook etc., to celebrate his Birthday Day. He got Bye pass surgery done successfully. This happened ten years back. He is now hale and healthy. Whenever we met, he is memorizing the Cardiologist and his life saving advice.
