At around 8 PM yesterday, friend called. His cousin had an accident and he might need blood, he wanted me to go with him and we will pick one more friend just in case. Around 9 we reached Jinnah Hospital and soon it was apparent his condition was far worse then we had imagined. He was already in Operation Theater where doctors were trying to save his life. Apart from few bones that he broke one of the broken ribs damaged his heart’s vein which caused a lot of blood loss. His chest was torn apart to locate the vein & recover it and this process took around 5 hours. Around 1 AM we heard the news it’s been recovered and the operation will continue probably for another 8 hours for rest of the injuries. Around 10 blood bags were consumed so far and around 12 were reserved and were needed in operation ahead. (and those white cells etc, I don’t know the medical terms)
Karachiite’s once again made me proud when I found out all those 22 blood bags were already donated by patient’s friends, family and neighbors. In my almost 5 hour stay at hospital around 35+ friends/neighbors/people showed up if more blood was needed (almost none knew the patient but they were cousins friends, friends friend etc) and it was not weekend, people had offices/schools in morning yet they came, almost an hour’s drive away at the middle of night.
The boy is only 18, his name is Yasir and next 72 hours are critical.
Allah Pak Yasir ko Lumbi Umer de our woh jald sehatyab ho jae Ameen our bari khoshi hoi yeh sun kar ke humare pakistani logo main aesa jazba abhi tak mojood hai
May Allah Bless him with Best of the Healths. (Ameen)
Blood Donation and its Spirit is Great... One Pack of Donated Blood Saves one Life.... And The Person Who Donate it.... usay koi Farq naheeN paRta... Medical Sciences say that... Blood donation is Good for Health as well.
Allah Hum sab ko Blood Donation ki toufeeq de and Yasir ko Sehat de (Ameen)
