Nagpur: Octogenarian RSS worker gives up hospital bed for 40-year-old, dies at home


Daijiworld Media Network - Nagpur (SP)

Nagpur, Apr 29: An 85-year-old man gave up his life to save the life of a 40-year-old man. This incident happened at the government hospital here.

A coronavirus-infected old man gave up his oxygen-equipped bed in favour of a younger patient. He said he cannot see people suffering for lack of beds or oxygen. "I am 85 now and have lived life to the fullest. If the husband of this lady dies, that family becomes orphaned, having lost its breadwinner. I do not need hospital bed," said Narayan Dabhalkar, who was also a RSS worker.

Dabhalkar died on the third day after returning home. This story has become viral in the social media. His daughter Aasawari Kothiwan said that her father, who was admitted into the government hospital with breathing problem, had seen the wife of a young infected person pleading with the hospital staff for a bed.

"My father was moved by this scene. He overlooked the doctors’ advice and gave up his oxygen bed. He gave a consent letter to the hospital and gave up his bed in favour of the young patient. He left us within three days thereafter," she explained.

    Flavian, Mangalore/Kuwait Not just some... there are many... Quite long back, when blood was needed for 3 accident patients in Udupi, RSS volunteers rushed to hospital and did blood donation to unknown victims of the accident. I happened to be the witness of the same. Till then I was not aware of what is RSS (as RSS was not spread to my place, a remote village in Kundapura) Later, I have developed interest in knowing more about the organization. Though I am not the member of RSS, I have attended their baithak, programs, etc. as a spectator and listener. There is nothing wrong to know about any organization to clarify our doubts ourselves, rather listening to the others.

He had one year to prepare, while the worst hit countries fought back with great planning and order, the measures taken by our PM were - need not mention but yet a reminder - taali, thali, diya, baati, coronil, gau mutr...kept the PM care fund in his pocket and now investing drop by drop because few sensible Indians started questioning. Most countries have closed borders with India, even Pakistan! while help is being received from across the globe including China and Pakistan! May this great soul inspire Modi to leave his seat for the good of the country!
