Mr. Asok Kumar Basu Thakur got admitted to Fortis Hospital for his dialysis. While the dialysis was on its progress, he suddenly started to have some complications and needed blood transfusion. His blood group A – (Negative) is a rare one. One of our staffs went to visit him at Fortis Hospital, EM Bypass. It was a regular visit. The member’s daughter was present there quite tensed. They were not able to get that blood group from the hospital Blood Bank. They thought of arranging it from SSKM hospital. Our staff rushed to SSKM where he was refused. He didn’t stop there. He started looking for other sources. While doing that he gathered information that Maniktala Blood bank can provide the required blood group. He informed the member’s daughter and immediately hurried to Maniktala. There he was asked to wait for 3 hours as he was in a queue comprising of 5 people. But the doctors of Fortis Hospital asked to collect blood within ½ hour. Without having any other options, he promptly showed his army identity card and made a special request. It was for his sheer presence of mind he could not only manage to get blood but also reached hospital within an hour and made sure to get the transfusion start. It was already 9pm. His duty hours was supposed to get over by 6pm. The sense of responsibility prevailed over the routine. This virtue of our staff was very much appreciated by Mr. Basu Thakur's daughter.
