[Assam] Fw: PERSONAL MEDICAL TREATMENT

Thu Oct 26 10:02:22 PDT 2006

Dear Rajib Da

****All we have in Guwahati is
Downtown hospital which follows in letter and spirit
the Hotel California song ("You can check out anytime
but you may never leave" (unless you are dead)). It's
a shame.
*My brother was in an accident last year and now he is physically disabled
with C4-C6 spinal cord injury. After being admitted in Down Town Hospital,
Guwahati, he went through 2 cardiac arrests in front of my eyes. Only
because of the excellent Accident response team of Down Town Hospital
Especially Dr. Borthakur and Dr Rahman, he is alive today. Infact the
hospital did not even ask for money to be deposited until he was safely in
ICU (He was admitted at 7.30 Pm and 1st request for money was made in the
morning next day)*
