On 28th November, 2023, our member Mr A. C. Chattopadhyay’s wife, called ZC Mr M. K. Dan Poddar in the morning at 6:45 am, stating an emergency. The member was already suffering from cardiac issues. On receiving the information Mr Poddar, immediately sent MCA Mr P. Bhoumik to the member’s house. On reaching, he found that the member had fallen from the bed and was unable to move. Mr Bhoumik lifted him up and made him lie down on the bed. Since he was not responding, Mr Bhoumik sprinkled some water on his face. On observing that the member’s condition was not improving, he immediately went to get their family physician. The doctor diagnosed him and gave him medicines, after which Mr Chattopadhyay was better. The doctor also recommended a blood test as it seemed his blood sugar level had decreased. The MCA immediately arranged for the test from a diagnostic centre and got it done. After our member Mr Chattopadhyay’s condition was stable, Mr Bhoumik left their house, promising to go back in the evening, which he did.

During the festive season, when availability of ambulances and doctors are less, one of our members Wg Cmd S. C. Mitra, had a fall in the
middle of the night. He somehow managed to call ZC Mr M. K. Sinha at around 12:30 a.m. and stated his condition. Mr. Sinha informed MCA Mr S. Bhattacharya who immediately went to the member’s house. On his way he also informed the Alarm Centre for an ambulance, which was arranged promptly. Mr Bhattacharya took our member to the hospital and ensured that he was attended to immediately. Since he had incurred a fracture, he was in the hospital for a week, during which Support Elders staff regularly visited him and took updates about his health. When he was discharged, he was carefully brought back by MCA J. Ali who ensured that his plastered leg was not harmed. He is better now. His plaster has been removed and he can walk around with a stick.

Constant monitoring through the Well@Home Solution helped our member Mr Das in getting rid of his palpitations and weakness. The Care Integrator Ms S. Bal, during her weekly visit, physically checked the health parameters of our member Mr B. Das and observed that his blood pressure had decreased and his heart rate had increased. On questioning him she found that he experienced palpitations and weakness while walking. She was also told that he had a stent placed in his heart and was continuing with medicines prescribed 4years ago. The health parameters were also verified with the CNC team who remotely monitored them 24×7. Ms. Bal suggested that a doctor visit was required and spoke to Mr. Das’s family to convince him for it. He agreed to go with Ms Bal. The timely doctor intervention helped. His medicines were changed, new medicines were added and some were continued. This helped stabilise his blood pressure and normalize his heart rate.

While visiting our member Ms. G. Basu, to take her for a doctor visit, MCA Mr. J. Roy found her pretty unwell. On reaching the hospital Mr. Roy got her a wheelchair. Since her health was deteriorating, he immediately spoke to the hospital staff and was insistent that she be attended to on an urgent basis. The doctor concerned was in the OT, but on Mr. Roy’s insistence he came to attend our member. He found Ms Basu’s heart rate had decreased and immediately got some medical investigations and an ECG done. Ms Basu was kept under observation the entire day till her condition stabilised at around 4.00 p.m. Mr. Roy was by her side right from 10.00 in the morning till she was discharged. He constantly took updates about her health and didn’t budge from our member’s side even for food. Once she was discharged, he brought her back home safely, made her comfortable and then ate. Ms Basu was extremely thankful for all that he did.
