For years, he has been driving his auto to earn his livelihood. Being a family man, he has been tolerating all hardships without complaining to himself, believing that his family has more important things to worry about. But the people around him had no idea that this man’s heart was beating not properly.
The auto driver was diagnosed with a Dilated Cardiomyopathy. This terrible disease made him incapable of working for a long time as he was losing his ability to breathe properly.
As the medicines were not effective enough, the patient was advised to seek further treatment and consult with Dr. Srinath Vijayasekharan , cardiac and thoracic surgeon and one of the leading heart transplant surgeons in India .
“I felt that it was indeed a matter of giving back to the father his earning capability so that he could earn for his family, giving back to the worker his livelihood and giving back to the family their beloved member,” stated Dr. Srinath Vijayasekharan. He immediately started with the process of finding a donor and successfully found one within a short period of time. The auto driver received the heart transplant and recovered well from the transplant procedure.
The change was so remarkable that the father expressed his gratitude in these words, “I don’t know what to say. I can only thank Dr. Srinath for giving me back my life.”
This is such a touching story that underlines the importance of a heart transplant in saving the life of a person and helping them return to their normal life without any hassle.
