The last few weeks have been quite disturbing for people as they witness tragic events around the country. It may be worse for those looking forward to some news that gives hope during this time. 

While one is about a 60-something woman getting life-saving surgery, the other involves an older woman getting operated for a serious heart disease.

Elderly woman gets new lease of life after falling from a horse during her Kedarnath pilgrimage
A 62-year-old woman who went for pilgrimage to the holy shrine of Kedarnath met with an accident while on horseback to the temple. The woman fell down sustaining multiple traumatic injuries with T12 compression fracture to the spinal column, left sided multiple ribs, left scapula and hemothorax (chest cavity bleeding). Even though she experienced acute pain, she didn’t have the choice of instant air evacuation. Rather, she suffered an arduous, multi-day journey, starting with a long and treacherous road travel to Dehradun and then a transfer to a series of connecting flights through Dehradun and Jaipur to Mumbai before finally being shifted to KIMS Hospitals, Thane three days after the incident.
