General Medicine

9 year old Sabarinathan walked (nay excitedly rushed) into my office, widely grinned at me and said \"Hello Madam!\" Closely following him was his beaming mother telling me that Sabarinathan was so active

that it was impossible to restrain him. It has been one since he had surgery done I asked her whether he had gone back to school. She replied a cheerful negative. \" But why?\" I asked? She told me that it was not that important and besides he had to be with his grandma at Salem! For them it will be a new celebration party.  Sabarinathan had an obstructing membrane under the Aortic Valve the important valve that ushers blood from the heart to the other organs. Fortunately for him his left chambers are functioning well and he can be quite normal.  \'Hearts for Hearts\' performs surgery for such less affluent children and adults. The mother explained when the child was very sick earlier she had to take a loan at an exorbitant rate. When they could not repay, the family was hounded by the creditors and they fled to Chennai to continue their toil of making ends meet. The whole world is for Sabarinathan to live. Will it be kind to him?
