This is the true story of a 62-year-old, well-known Hindu priest from Kashi. The contingent of eight priests along with this head priest traveled from Kashi to Delhi & Delhi to Mumbai. From Mumbai, they arrived in Lonavala at the site of Mahapuja.
The entire team arrived at the venue around 5:30 in the evening. As soon as the whole team was being received by the organizer of this Mahapuja, the head priest (patient) started feeling a little ache in his chest. Everyone was panicked & shocked, and very soon he was taken to the local doctor. The moment he reached, a proper checkup was done, and upon doing an ECG, the doctor realized that the priest was suffering from a Heart Attack.
Everyone noticed the emergency and the patient was rushed to the Hardas Heart Care, approximately by 7:30 in the evening. The team at Hardas Heart Care immediately ran a few important tests to ensure that the results of the previous test carried out by the local doctor were accurate. And, the results confirmed the priest’s illness.
Upon examining thoroughly and looking at reports, Dr. Suhas Hardas suggested an immediate angioplasty procedure (as it was a severe Heart Attack), but the patient refused to undergo the procedure. The reason was that the patient had a Mahapuja, which was scheduled the very next morning at 8 o’clock.
After a long convincing session, Dr. Suhas Hardas was able to get the priest admitted for treatment. Soon, a successful angioplasty of an occluded Left Anterior Descending Artery was performed by Dr. Suhas Hardas at 9 p.m. via the Radial Artery (Artery at the wrist). The patient was discharged on the same night around midnight. And, the patient was able to get a good 5-6 hours of sleep due to early discharge.
After proper rest, the head Priest (Patient) with his team performed the Mahapuja.
