• Every day we hear news from the media and sources around us.
• Some news are good and some not so good.
• Here I would like to talk about a piece of good news that I heard on the PTC Punjabi channel, about a fortnight ago.
• The news was that a super specialty hospital is opening in my hometown.
• I felt very happy about this news.
• Actually, there is no multi specialty hospital in my town.
• If any one suffers from heart attack or stroke, he has to be rushed to Jalandhar or Ludhiana.
• Sometimes, the time taken to shift the patient can be fatal.
• Recently, a person in my neighbourhood suffered a stroke.
• First he was shifted to a local hospital and from there was referred to Dayanand Medical College Ludhiana.
• When he reached there, the doctors told that if they had brought him just an hour earlier, then they could have prevented much damage.
• Now his right side is paralysed, and there is little chance of total recovery.
• Everyone in my town is excited about this hospital.
• Some big private business house has bought the land in the suburbs, and the construction has also started.
• Now it is just a matter of time.
• World class medical aid wil be right at our doorstep
• So, this is the piece of good news which I heard recently.
