Hithendran - Person who steal Hearts

Little Girl , Abhirami of age 9 was suffering from heart disease and she was admitted in Cherian`s heart foundation in Chennai . The doctors decided to transplant her heart but they were in need of a heart which was essential for the operation . Parents of the girl were praying for a heart . There came a rescuer for their daughter , Hithendiran (hope god heard their prayers).


Hithendiren a 16 year old young boy , was studying 11th std .He was living in Thirukalukunram near Mahabalipuram with his parents Mr. Mahendiran & Mrs.Pushpaanjali . Both of them were doctors and practicing in their own hospital in their locality . He has a younger sibling, Lakshmanan . Last Saturday ,he went to see his friend in his father`s bike, which turned out to be his last journey . On his way back from his friend's home , he met with an accident . As he fell down from his bike , he became unconscious because of the shock from the accident . As his parents were well known in the locality , the people identified him and admitted him in Chengalpet govt hospital for first aid and he was then shifted to Appollo Hospital, chennai for further treatment.


He was given treatment for three days there but the doctors were unable to rescue him and they reported to his parents as "Brain Dealth".Brain Death - Typically dead , Heart and organs will be functioning but brain will stop its function.

since his parents were doctors , they understood the situation. They decided to donate the organs of their son which were functioning properly , a courageous decision by the couple . Hats Off !!!

Hithendra`s Eyes , Heart , Kidney, Lungs, and Liver were chosen and were removed from his body.

At that time, The doctors came to know about Abhirami who was in urgent need of a heart for surgery. So ,Hithendra`s heart was chosen for the Heart transplantation.But the situation is that the heart chosen as replacement should be replaced with in half an hour. but the real problem is , how???
Eyes can be preserved upto 14 days since then it is removed but Heart can be preserved atmost half an hour .
If you were a chennaiite , you might have understood the situation . Appollo hospital and Cherian`s Heart foundation are 14 kms apart and its highly impossible to reach Cherian`s Heart foundation from Appollo with in half an hour time limit amidst the heavy traffic in Chennai. So, The doctors decided to make use of local Police for
this Mission.


TN Police Dept showed their helping hands in this issue. Deputy commissioner and an Constable were deployed in this operation. The Traffic signals throught out their way were ordered to be on green and the traffic was cleared. Mr.Mohan , The Constable drove the car at a speed of 120 kms so that they reached the destination in just 11 mins. The people witnessed “SCHUMACHER” in chennai city, typically .
By his tremendous driving , He reached the spot with in Ten minutes , earlier than the stipulated time. Hats Off to the Police Department !!!

The operation took place as soon as the heart reached there and went on for 6 hours and finally , OPERATION WAS A GREAT SUCCESS. This is the second Heart Transplantation in India. Both were done by Mr.cherian.


While speaking to the Reporters,Hithendira`s father told that ,” Since , We are doctors, We understood the situation, reacted accordingly and decided to donate our beloved Son`s organs.” He also pleaded that, ”If my son had used Helmet, he might be alive now. Its my humble request, Please use helmets while riding .” He also added that, My son is not dead ,He gave life to 6 people. He is still alive.”

A sad demise day ended with a victory for humanity.
