Wonderful essay!You have been able to save your friend by timely admission into a hospital.

In earlier days many 'given up' cases have been cured just by common sense or country drugs.Classic examples are found in medical history.There is a saying in Tamil'sukkil ullathu sookshma'( there is miracle in dry ginger)
1. A very rich lady from Chettinadu wearing dazzling diamonds in her ears and nose came to consult Dr.Mudaliar(Famous Twins) The lady was suffering from severe head ache and sometimes swooned and took hours to regain consciousness .Day by day she became depressed .All the famous doctors were consulted.No remedy. She lost nearly 25 pounds. It is at this juncture, they consulted Dr.Mudaliar.On hearing the patient's history, he saw the patient.He asked her to remove her dazzling nose studs.The lady found some relief. The doctor's diagnosis was correct.Her nervous system was unable to tolerate the dazzlings of the wonderful diamonds.A simple 'don't' relieved the patient of her biting head ache.
2. Another incident about the famous Dr. Rangachari of GH CHennai.
It was in 1920s. A full term pregnant woman was travelling in a bullock cart.Accidentally she got injured in her stomach due to which the little finger( in one of the hands) of the baby came protruding out of the pierced stomach.
It was not yet time for delivery. The relatives brought the pregnant lady to Dr. Rangachari. The Dr. was highly intelligent. He knew that the finger if let outside will get infected and the infection will spread inside killing both the mother and the babe.
Dr Thought for a while.Just then he saw another doctor wandering in the veranda smoking to his heart's content.Dr. Rangachari went hurriedly near the doctor,without uttering a single word, snatched away the burning cigarette from his hands and hurriedly went inside to treat the patient.

The wandewring doctor thought that Dr, Rangachari is admonishing him for smoking inside the hospital.
Dr Rangachari just showed the burning edge of the cigarette to the protruding finger of the babe.Being unable to bear the heat, as reflex action,the baby withdrew its finger into mother's stomach. The wise doctor immediately stitched the pierced portion and dressed up. After 20 days, the lady gave birth to the child.It was a safe, normal delivery.Dr.Rangachari attended the case.
When Dr. Rangachari came out after treating the patient, the doctor who had been
smoking was waiting outside to seek apology for smoking inside the hospital. Dr.Rangachari exclaimed, yes, smoking is bad. But today it is the cigarette that you were smoking saved the life of a mother and the babe.
'Fire not only hurts, but also saves'said the doctor.

Dear Madam Sister,
I am extremely touched with your wonderful response as always been.
2. The true incident as happened in 1920 is narrated by you from your memory is equally wonderful if not more . My late dad mentioned to me of this baby’s finger jutting out from would be mother’s tummy and the way Dr. Rangachai - the philanthropist- lateral thinking and out of the box treatment fructified eventually safe and natural delivery of robust baby.
3. My son TS Karthik described this wonderful moment tad differently in the anecdotes compiled and published under the caption “Chicken Soup for Indian Doctors’ Soul” some time in the later half of 2014.
Thanks for your quick and prompt FB which would also stay green in my memory.
Regards.
God Bless Us All Always.

On a full moon Saturday, after late lavish dinner, while walking back to lodge via moon-lit cemetery, budding nuclear scientist Kalpathri suddenly commented, he had never visited a cemetery. He complained about something lodged in a crevice around wisdom tooth. Despite picking it for long with a safety pin, he was still at it. Fatigued I was, sleep embraced me.

Next morning too, Kalpathri was found picking his teeth with safety-pin. I suggested that it could be dangerous and he should instead immediately go to Doctor. He thought I was silly!

Spending week end with relative of mine, Monday early morning I returned in hurry to room only to find Kalpathri was still on bed staring at the roof, his jaws locked and face turned bluish. I saw safety pin at the corner of the table, with its open end tad rusty. . In the next 15 minutes, I managed to shift Kalpathri to nearby government hospital. A saree clad doctor with emblematic white coat and a dangling stethoscope on hand, examined and ordered Kalpathri shifted to ICU.

Blood test results came after an hour revealing Iron-oxide contamination in blood. ICU in-charge told me that Kalpathri was critical; needs to be given every 4 hour a shot at least 6 times to bring his condition to normal and told to get atleast six ampoules of an imported rare medicine.

A stocky cabby standing earshot overheard medicine name, offered to help and introduced himself as Sukveer Singh. From hospital payphone, in accented Hindi, he spoke calmly to someone. Few moments later, the stranger said a man would bring and deliver 3 ampoules with invoice to the reception in about an hour. I checked in nearby shops but to no avail. Sukveer exited giving me a telephone number for follow-up. In the meanwhile, the senior doctor advised to try multiple sources.

Reputed pharmacies all over city were contacted in vain. I rang up from a payphone my friend GBS in civil aviation in Air Traffic Control (ATC). I briefed him about urgency and the requirement. He told to contact him again after an hour or so. I informed my boss at the plant that I was caught with a problem and might attend after few hours.

A man approached the reception mentioning Kalpathri’s name showing invoice of Sahib Singh Company for 3 ampoules. I collected the invoice and the carton containing three ampoules and paid the cost. ICU Doctor’s face seemed lit up, when the carton of ampoules handed over to him. First shot administered at 11 a.m.

For another three ampoules, I spoke again to my friend’s brother in law GBS. He said three ampoules arranged and it would be brought and delivered by a Captain of Indian Airline evening flight that was expected ex-Madras by 8 and I could arrange collection from ATC office. I left to the plant close to the Local air port. I was busy at the plant till 7. GBS had telexed plant office, confirming flight would be sighted (ETS) around 1945hrs.

I heard of an aircraft booming over, when I reached by stairs the ATC at second floor. Behind a glass partition, I could see GBS removing his headset and a flight touchdown. After 5 minutes, I heard approaching footsteps. It was a lanky pilot. GBS came out shook hands with pilot and introduced me. After hand-shake, he handed over the packet. I thanked them. I offered to pay the cost but GBS said it was his contribution. It was around 9, when I drove back to hospital. Fourth shot was due around 11.30 P.M.

Doctor sauntered from ICU toward me with a smiling face, told Kalpathri showing rapid progress and the shots were efficacious. I handed over to Doctor the packet of 3 ampoules. I went into ICU, had a sigh of relief. Kalpathri’s face was looking natural and he winked softly at me!

Next morning I was boarding a train for New Delhi as per transfer order and moving out on promotion. Three decades later, received a call from USA “hello is it Thyagrajan? I am Kalpathri from NASA”. It was a full moon day.

@Thyagarajan Sir,

A very nice anecdote highlighting invaluable timely help and how some of our mindless acts can get us into serious trouble. Somehow medicines are always in short supply when our patient is critical! Is this some crooked law of nature?

I was a novice in commercial matters those days and therefore I can’t comment about pharma industry marketing nitty-gritty.
2. However, to day in modern times scarcity is artificial when so much mass produced in such a short time still discerning minds can see what is happening behind. Even generic medicines under different names by various pharma companies sold at incredibly inflated rates. Example stem cells, Cancer related items.
3. How come you are interested my last Deepawali releases now. That way I trust you had caught up with my old ones in FICTION including PREGNANT FACTSPREPONDERANCE & PROGNASTICATION.

Thanks for liking the anecdote.
God Bless Us All Always.
