Donor Memorial

• Mr. Sunil Kumar Vohra   - 63 Years

  
  Mr. Sunil Kumar Vohra, 63 was brought into the Sir Ganga Ram Hospital critical care unit on 9th September 2012 in an unconscious state. The CT scans revealed a Subdural Hematoma with Sub-arachnoid hemorrhage. The Doctors made futile attempts to save him by performing a decompressive craniotomy. Sadly no efforts worked as all spontaneous breathing efforts seemed to stop and the ventilator was all that was keeping his chest rising and falling and making him look merely asleep.
  
  The brain death certification was impending but it was an evident outcome according to the critical care staff, hence one of the Doctors approached the family and they readily agreed. What better way to say Goodbye to the man who was always the first one to come forward and help anyone who was in trouble or needed support?� says his daughter Surbhi thinking back to that day.
  
  No matter who was visiting Delhi -a distant relative or long lost friend “ Mr. Vohra would always be there at the railway station to receive them. The sociable, happy go lucky gentleman that he was, he would religiously wish people on their birthdays. He was very tech savvy and would regularly send and receive text messages to bring a smile on the faces of his relatives and friends. Ironically, the message of his demise was also sent to his friends from his own phone.
  
  He would often quote that when people mourn the dead, they mourn their loss and not the unknown plight of the dead, hence the living are the ones that matter, the dead move on. His family being familiar with this philosophy knew that organ donation was the best alternative to preserving Mr. Vohra's wishes. He was a great believer of Buddhist chanting and SokaGakkai. He would join his friends and chant every single day the way he had that fateful day he was hospitalized. Mr. Vohra was also an ardent devotee of Shirdi Sai baba.
  
  Mr. Vohra's was a deeply spiritual and religious person and true to his ideals he ended up being the altruist he was throughout his life in death as well by saving the lives of 3 people. His liver and kidneys were transplanted into three different people.
