SAVE A LIFE

Got this as a fwd mail. Its true that 108 is doing a great service.

########################################################################
Dear All

I am sharing my personal experience with “108” (EMRI) on their Quick response.

When I travel from Pondicherry to Coimbatore last Sunday (02-08-09) night by Bus, the bus met an accident with lorry in National Highway nearby “Atthur” Landmark: “Paaventhar college of Arts and Science”.

Two of my co-passenger got injured.

One is lady and second is her baby of 15months old.

The lady had an injury in her hand and the baby was motionless. The First-Aid kit is also missing in the bus.


The accident happened at mid-night 00:57am.

On seeing the condition of the baby and mother, I immediately called 108 at 00:59am. Explained the state of injured persons and location of the place, Village, District & Taluk (assisted by a local person). It took around 3minutes.

At 01:03am (within a minute) I got a call from 108 with a conference to the district level center explained the exact location and condition of the persons injured. It took around 3minutes.

At 01:08am again I got a call from the Ambulance saying that they are on the way to accident spot.

To be surprise, the Ambulance reached the spot at 01:17am and started the treatment. The baby was brought to the active state (may be due to timely attempt by 108-EMRI) and medicines given for injured lady. At the end of their treatment both of them came to normal.

The EMRI 108 Ambulance reached the spot within 15minutes from the receipt of information to them


Here I would like express one thing that except me, none of the co-passengers were not aware of 108.

As I am aware of 108 through training given for EMERGENCY EVACUATION DRILL conducted in June ’09, I could help the co-passengers.


Kindly share this experience, so that the people can make use of wonderful service provided by EMRI – “108” in TamilNadu.

I too have had a similar experience. I am used to go home late in the night and it was saturday. Needless to say, was returning home at around 11:30 - 12:pm on Velachery ByePass road. There was a group of people surrounding a couple of accident victims. They were lying on the median. Bike was lying nearby. It seemed like the accident had taken place not less than 5 mins before. I parked my bike some distance away on the road side and came to the spot.Immediately heard a siren. And it was 108 ambulance service. They took the victims to a nearby hospital. Both in the same van. Only when this ambulance was about to start Appolo Ambulance was reaching the spot. Don't know which one was called first, i was really astonished (shock aaiten) to see a Govt aided service reacting at this pace.

Should say 'Really Great Service for Saving one's Life'.

108 - Jai Ho :)

Signs

Good One

The train has started moving. It is packed with people of all ages, mostly with the working men and women and young college guys and gals. Near the window, seated a old man with his 30 year old son. As the train moves by, the son is overwhelmed with joy as he was thrilled with the scenory outside..

" See dad, the scenory of green trees moving away is very beautiful"

This behavior from a thirty year old son made the other people feel strange about him. Everyone started murmuring something or other about this son."This guy seems to be a crack.." newly married Anup whispered to his wife.

Suddenly it started raining... Rain drops fell on the travelers through the opened window. The Thirty year old son , filled with joy " see dad, how beautiful the rain is .."

Anup's wife got irritated with the rain drops spoiling her new suit.


Anup ," can’t you see its raining, you old man, if ur son is not feeling well get him soon to a mental asylum..and don’t disturb public henceforth"

The old man hesitated first and then in a low tone replied " we are on the way back from hospital, my son got discharged today morning , he was a blind by birth, last week only he got his vision, these rain and nature are new to his eyes.. Please forgive us for the inconvenience caused..."


The things we see may be right from our perspective until we know the truth. Bt when we know the truth our reaction to that will hurt even us. So try to understand the problem better before taking a harsh action


(Got this as a mail.Just posting it as it is very true.)
