Medical Emergency @ Night

On 16th of December 2021, MCA Mr G. Bhowmik received from Mr M. Halder and Ms M. Ganjai, who were manning ALCO, a call to go to our member Mr A. K. Bhattacharjee’s residence immediately because he was feeling unwell. He set off immediately and reached around 10 p.m. Seeing that Mr A. K. Bhattacharjee was experiencing extreme breathing difficulties, he took permission from our member’s wife to hospitalise him. The MCA informed ALCO and requested them to send an ambulance immediately. He then accompanied Mr Bhattacharjee and his wife to a nearby hospital. But after initial check-up, the doctor, suspecting a cardiac problem, requested the MCA to shift Mr Bhattacharjee to a hospital with a better cardiology department. The MCA then accompanied them and admitted our member in another hospital. He ensured Ms Bhattacharjee was comfortably seated before completing the admission-related formalities himself. By then it was almost 2.30 a.m. One of themember’s relatives, who stays outside Kolkata, was worried about Ms Bhattacharjee, but MCA Mr Bhowmik assured him that it was his responsibility to reach her home safely. He booked her a cab, escorted it and waited till she entered her home. By the time he left Mr Bhattacharjee’s residence, it was 3 a.m. He called ALCO as per process, informed the details and signed off. We are happy to say that Mr Bhattacharjee and his relative were extremely pleased with the dedication and responsibility shown by MCA Mr Bhowmik.
