Dr Tejaswi donated blood to save critically ill AIDS patient life

By : www.theindiapost.com :  55 yrs old Mr Radheshyam Chowdhary (Name Changed) from Vaishali, who is suffering from  AIDS and is put under WHO stage IV category was in acute need of blood for his survival. None of his family members were ready to donate blood for him except his wife Krishna Chowdhary ( Name Changed), 46 yrs old, but she couldn't donate as she was underweight. Radheshyam's treating physician Dr Diwakar Tejaswi understanding the situation himself donated blood to save his patients life today. After the recovery of Radheshyam's condition, Dr Tejaswi stated that HIV/AIDS in Bihar is increasing rapidly and it is unfortunate that still there is widespread misconception regarding the disease in Bihar. He urged all the healthy people of Bihar aged between 18-60 years, weighing more than 45 kg and having hemoglobin more than 12.5 gram/dl  to donate blood atleast twice yearly so that there will be no scarcity of blood in blood banks.
