BLOOD DONATION

I registered in http://www.bharatbloodbank.com/, and within a month I got a call in the morning for B negative blood. On that very same day in the afternoon one another person called asking for blood. I was confused what to say to the second as I already committed to the first one. I then called to first as they said they are keeping me as reserve and will call me if required. I told them my situation and they then asked to donate blood to the second group as they already arranged.
I call to the second group and fixed time for drawing blood. I never met them earlier. I went to blood bank to that hospital and asked for the patient party. They made contact and after meeting them I gave blood. Later Mr Shyamal Chakraborty, brother of patients wife thanked me so much and cried while talking to me. It made me feel that he is giving thanks from inside. He asked me to take refreshments and offered to pay taxi fare. He then told about the patient. Patients name is Rajshri Sanyal (M)31 yrs. suffered convulsions and renal failure. He fainted and was admitted to WestBank hospital, Kolkata. He remained in ICU for four days and as his health not , the doctor advised patient party to admit him in some better hospital. He was then admitted to AMRI. After six or seven days in ICU his health recovered and shifted to general bed.

Mr Shyamal many times called me to ask my health status after blood donation.
After four days in the evening he called me again and said that patient is recovering and has been shifted to general bed from ICU. He said that he is informing me news first. I was to happy to know that patient is recovering and I am the first one informed by Mr. Shyamal.

My view: Blood donation can also make friends.

I will append this article when I get any news from them.
