Early one morning in April, Ms Dasgupta, who stays all by herself, gave an SOS call to Support Elders. She was in trouble and needed urgent help.
Ms Dasgupta is dependent on a machine, which helps her breathe while she sleeps at night. Unfortunately, the tube that connects the machine to the breathing mask had somehow got detached, causing respiratory distress to her and therefore, jerking her out of sleep. She had managed to breathe without the machine for sometime before calling up the paramedic who had helped set up the machine. But sadly, he was out of town for the weekend.
This is when she called up Support Elders. A Support Elders staff immediately rushed to her help. Having dealt with many emergency situations in the army, he dealt with the situation with great presence of mind and calmness. He managed to fix the tube back to Ms Dasgupta’s breathing mask after some effort and alleviated her distress.
