Anytime, just a beep away

On 22 February, after midnight, at 12:58 a.m. MCA Mr A. Haldar received a call from ALCO stating an emergency. He immediately started and reached the member, Mr K. Roy’s house within 12 minutes. On the way he had informed the ambulance which had also reached at the same time. After MCA Mr Haldar reached the member’s flat, he found his oxygen level dipping. He immediately asked for the medical documents for hospitalisation. Mr Roy being unable to speak, just pointed at the place where the documents were kept. Since there was no wheelchair in the house, the MCA looked around and brought a revolving chair. He along with the Ambulance attendant seated Mr Roy in it. Mr Haldar took the documents in one hand, carried the oxygen cylinder in his other arm and steered the member out of the flat and into the lift. Our member, Mr K. Roy stays on the 6th floor and the lift is so small that it is difficult for 2 people to travel in it. Somehow, the MCA managed to get the member to the ground floor. Once out of the lift, the MCA with the help of the Ambulance attendant made Mr Roy lay down on the stretcher in the ambulance.

He then followed the ambulance on his bike to the Hospital, took care of all the paperwork and ensured that the member was admitted immediately and taken care of properly. He waited over there till the member’s oxygen level was restored to normal, being satisfied that he was fine, MCA Mr Haldar left the hospital.
