This is an offbeat story, which is no way connected to buckleupnow’s theme stories, yet we felt the need to report about this story and couple of other stories to follow after this story.

This is the story of a eight year old young boy, mohak kotari, from Andrapradesh who dreams to become an Inspector. He has been fighting for his life for the past couple of years. Kudos to Make-A-Wish Foundation and AndraPradesh Police, which have helped this young boy realize his dream. Yes, this boy was made to feel like an Inspector for a day as he assumed charge as an Inspector in the Jubillee Hills Police Station. He got a feel of the Inspector’s job for about an hour and during this time Inspector Srinivasa Rao supervised the operations. The boy was able to interact with the Sub-Inspector and Police Constables and took stock of the law and order situation. Interesting isn’t it?

It is definitely a worthy exercise from the director Madhumathi of Make A Wish Foundation, who had met this boy in Apollo Hospitals last month and heard about his dreams.

Here is just another story of how the doctors in India are proving their mettle to the world. This success story once again goes to show that India has the potential to be a great Medical Tourism destination in the coming years.

For 6 year old Zia Ur Rahman from pakistan, this Ramzan is a memorable one. He is celebrating it in India and more importantly he has been operated for the split in his Tibia, the bone connecting the ankle to knee. Once he recovers after the specified period he should be able to walk normally. He was born with this condition and had unsuccessful treatments earlier in pakistan. The doctors there had recommended amputation as the solution to the problem. It was then his father heard about the Apollo Hospitals through his friend.

According to the doctors at Apollo Hospital, this kind of cases are very rare and occurs in one in a million child. They have also successfully conducted 16 such operations for kids. The credit for developing the solution goes to a Russian professor, G. A. Ilizarov who developed a metal frame fitted with rings and metal rods.
