When two worlds or two lives intermingle, the phenomenon is called Organ Donation. The beauty of medical science manifests itself in all its glory when a life can be recycled. When Eduard Konrad Zirm successfully performed a corneal transplant, harvested from a cadaver, for the first time in 1905, he opened the window for a man who had never seen a sun rise or the shining moon. Dr Eric Lexer did find a way to make a crippled child walk when he did the first successful cadaver knee joint transplant in 1908. There is so much to offer when somebody donates his organs or the organs are transplanted – some more walks at the beach, looking in the eyes of someone you love, more (re)birthdays, anniversaries and the smallest reasons to celebrate life’s second inning. Organ Donation May this piece of information change somebody’s life. Organ donation is the wish of a person to allow healthy transplantable organs and tissues to be removed. It can be either after death or even while the donor is alive, and transplanted into another person. It is a myth that only a few vital organs can be donated. The fact is that most common transplantations include: cornea, kidneys, heart, heart valves, liver, pancreas, intestines, lungs, bones, bone marrow, tendons, skin, and other tissues.

Every one of us has this life-changing heroic quality but conversations about organ donation are often over before they […]

The doctor looked into my vitals and asked about any specific complaint.  The first complaint came instantly …. I had a chest pain in the morning … dunno (read I don’t know) but something is not right with my heart. He started something and slipped slowly his laptop in front of me. A whisper from my doctor informed that I am going to see my heart and it was in front of me pumping, relaxing, with the systole and diastole in a beautiful rhythm. Left and right atrium, ventricle(s), aorta and vena cava – all working in the harmony the world can swear by! Wow!!! It started talking to me – “Hi I am Hearty. I could not stop myself but could utter a few words in astonishment. Me: Hi nice to see you. Hearty: You look beat, what have you been doing? Me: Nothing new, just routine work.
