Ms M. Talukdar’s differently-abled child, Mr K. K. Talukdar, who is also our member was supposed to get his cataract operation done in a South Kolkata hospital while they stay in Salt Lake. As he cannot understand and converse with an unknown person, the doctor said that someone known had to be with him throughout the procedure. MCA Mr S. Saha, whom Mr Talukdar is familiar with, was given the responsibility to be his companion. As per the current pandemic protocol both Mr Talukdar and the MCA had to have their mandatory RTPCR test done. On the day of the operation, the MCA reached
Ms Talukdar’s house around 8:30 a.m. and checked all his medical papers. Then, accompanied by Ms Talukdar’s sister, he took Mr Talukdar to the hospital. The MCA helped the nursing attendants get him ready for the operation. The MCA was permitted to wait just outside the OT in case there was any urgent requirement. Other than going out to purchase two essential medicines prescribed by the doctor, the MCA stayed with Mr Talukdar throughout and kept an eye on him, so that he did not rub his eyes and also to help him eat. In the evening, after completing all the discharge formalities and understanding the medication from the doctor, the MCA brought Mr Talukdar home. He explained the medication and precautions that needed to be taken to Ms Talukdar and signed off at 7.30 p.m. The dedication and care taken by MCA Mr Saha and the Support Elders team was much appreciated by Ms Talukdar.
