One afternoon, ZC Mr A. Roy received a call from our member, Ms M. Chakraborty, stating that she had fallen and was unable to get up. Mr Roy immediately sent MCA Mr M. K Ghosh to assist her. After reaching her house, on seeing our member’s condition he called and consulted a doctor. According to his instructions Mr Ghosh gave her medicines and ORS, which made Ms Chakraborty feel better. He then made her get up, settled her comfortably, and left.
Later in the evening, Mr Roy made a follow-up call to check on our member and found that she had fallen again. He promptly sent MCA Mr R Kamila to help her get up. The next morning, Mr Roy visited her and discovered that Ms Chakraborty was afraid to get up for fear of falling again. He also noticed that she showed signs of forgetfulness and her responses were incoherent. Mr Roy immediately called the Alarm Centre for an ambulance. Along with MCA Md Lulu, he took Ms Chakraborty to a pre-determined hospital and got her admitted. Since her son was abroad and out of the coverage area, Mr Roy sent him a message about his mother’s condition. Ms Chakraborty recovered after a few days and was safely brought back home by Mr Roy. Her son expressed extreme happiness and relief at the prompt and appropriate action taken.
