Jaslok Chief Saves Lives On Marine Drive |
Date : - 24/12/2007 |
Routine early morning walk on Marine Drive took an unexpected turn on Sunday. And his presence of mind helped save two of three seriously injured children. The director general of Jaslok Hospital, Peddar Road, was taking his walk when he heard a loud thud. He turned and found that a speeding motorcyclist had mowed down three children sleeping on the pavement. He rushed to the bleeding children – Ganesh Kale(12),Ravi Chauhan(9),and Kishan Pawar(10)and bundled them into the cab.
Simultaneously, he called Jaslok Hospital to make the necessary medical arrangements. “They were bleeding profusely, so I knew I had to act fast,” recalls the retired colonel.
By then, however, an angry mob had collected and they wanted Masand to wait till the police arrived and arrested motorcycle rider, Jitendra Doshi.
Masand pleaded with them to save the children first and all three – by then unconscious – were rushed to Jaslok with severe head injuries.
Pawar succumbed on the way to the hospital and was declared dead on admission. The hospital is treating the other two children free of cost.
The Marine Drive police arrested Doshi the following day for rash and negligent driving He is currently out on bail.
